The car was in terrible condition and unsafe to drive. The solution to our complaint was to charge extra for a replacement. Communication was poor, with hours-long delays in responses via WeChat. Having rented cars abroad for years, this is the first time I've had such a bad experience with a local Chinese car rental company.
The actual car model did not match the booking, the vehicle was downgraded but the price could not be adjusted. The in-store operations were slow, and the wait time for pickup was too long.
Avis has a completely procedural response, without solving customer issues: 1) During the car inspection, I was taking a photo of the license plate with my phone, and the staff impatiently put the phone in front of me to sign. They even whispered to their colleagues in a mocking tone; 2) We booked a child's safety seat, but the store only had booster seats, and we were charged the higher price of the safety seat instead of the booster seat; 3) When asked about the type of gasoline needed, the staff told us to figure it out ourselves, and there was no indication on the car or any documents; 4) When confirming the drop-off location with the staff multiple times, they were very impatient and dismissive. The store could not be located on the map, and multiple calls to the store two days before drop-off were unanswered. Overall, the service from Avis was poor, and I won't be returning.
1. I booked a Pajero, but received a Haval instead. The price difference is significant, it's incomprehensible how they classify similar categories.
2. Be cautious, communication is only possible via WhatsApp as phone calls are not answered. This is highly inconvenient. Outside their working hours (8 AM to 10 PM), you can't reach anyone. Shockingly, I had scheduled a car return for 7 AM, agreed to pay the handling fee, yet no one was around. They responded leisurely by 8 AM and still charged a 70 AED booking fee.
3. They are quick to lock the car. I received a fine on the road, which was less than half of the deposit, yet they locked the car without a call. Fortunately, I was at the hotel; what if I were on the road? Just to earn a 50 AED fee, I guess.
