Worthwhile

Excellent!

Both pickup and return are very convenient.

Everything was fine. But a hidden extra cost emerged at the time of pick up. This concerns only this particular Avis branch office. It turned out this office is inside the London Congestion Charge Zone, which added UKP 25 to the cost of hire. It would have been good if at the time of booking a warning message came up to indicate this extra cost.

Good smooth process

The car had an issue with breaking, it scrapped and I could hear the break pads scratching on braking with a metal sound coming from it. I was told it was unlimited mileage but inside car it stated a mileage limit. The sat nav didn’t work on the car. They never showed on collection ticket any amount. It stated zero on collection on my ticket in bold but below in a place hard to see it said in normal writing, deposit £200-£1,500. I had to phone up to clarify the deposit amount as I had no idea how much it would be. Very deceptive. I also had to transfer money from a friend but luckily was able to do it. As the ticket for collection is deceptive it makes you believe you will not pay any deposit upon arrival.

Not sure if the car was the category I rented but it didn't matter.
