Stavanger-Bergen-Flåm-Olden Lake-Geirangerfjord-Kristiansund-Trondheim

The guy at the airport counter had a great attitude. He just handed over the keys, and you have to find the car yourself...

Although Stavanger Airport is not very large, all the car rental offices are located in a small building about 50 meters outside the airport, which is fairly easy to find. When I arrived, there was no queue at the AVIS window. I handed over my rental voucher, driver's license, QEEQ certificate, and credit card to the staff, and the process was completed in just a few minutes. The staff repeatedly confirmed my rights and obligations, had me sign in four places, and then handed me the car key. All the rental cars are located on the top floor of a five-story parking garage next to the rental office. Taking the elevator up, it was not too difficult to find the car assigned to me, a nearly new Golf Estate with only 6000 kilometers driven. I requested a diesel car, but the staff said none were available, so I got a gasoline car instead. Over ten days, it was quite fuel-efficient. The car had automatic headlights, automatic wipers, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, a massaging driver's seat, and automatic start-stop for the engine. All the necessary features were included, which was excellent. The downside was that due to the small engine, the power loss was quite noticeable when the air conditioning was on, and in some cases, I had to downshift two gears to drive normally.

Automatically upgraded to a compact SUV, which was fantastic.

Recommend getting full insurance for peace of mind!

Our experience at the AVIS car rental at Stavanger Airport in Norway was extremely unpleasant! AVIS's malicious deceit and lack of integrity were infuriating!! We initially rented two station wagons through the Zuzuche platform: one was a manual Passat station wagon and the other was an automatic Audi A6 station wagon, both for a week with a different drop-off location. However, when picking up the cars, we were told that there was no Audi A6 available. They offered us a Golf station wagon instead, without a price reduction, and argued that the trunks of both cars are the same size, assuring us that it would be fine. Of course, we were unhappy because it couldn't fit our luggage and they are clearly not in the same category! Attempts to swap to an Audi A6 in the next city also failed. We sought help from Zuzuche, and their experienced customer service suggested we ask the AVIS staff to write and photograph a statement that they couldn’t provide a car of the same category. Suddenly, the AVIS staff said they could provide a station wagon of the same category after all!!!! It was extremely frustrating and had already wasted over an hour of our time! Furthermore, after returning home, we found that the rental charges were 3000 Norwegian Kroner more than the original rental order! As of this review, Zuzuche is still actively coordinating, with no resolution yet. The service and integrity of a big car rental company like AVIS are very disappointing!! We will not be using them again!
