Satisfied

When we got to the store, the Mercedes we booked wasn't available. They gave us a BMW 5 Series instead. Sigh, European cars are smaller, we couldn't fit three suitcases, had to place one in the front.

The service attitude at the AVIS Paris airport branch was terrible, terrible, terrible. In 2 years and 3 rentals, even with no one in line, the procedure took over 2 hours. Just think, we had already been on the road for 2 days and flying for over ten hours, we were exhausted. Additionally, the car was not what we reserved, and it was parked on the airport expressway, so we couldn't check the vehicle, familiarize ourselves with it, or install a GPS. We just had to drive away immediately. Deceptive practices, forcing unnecessary insurance, a tank of gas, and other services on us. After returning home, they deducted €35 per car from us for supposed violations we knew nothing about. It was a long appeal process, and Rent-A-Car helped us recover some of the losses. I hope Rent-A-Car can better communicate with their partners.

The service was quite good.

The car was given without inspection. When complained, I was told to take picture such as no full tank or broken parts. The safety yellow jacket required by EU law was missing and I had to take a movie to show it wasn't there. At drop-off they tried to charge for missing fuel and I had to show the picture I took. Avoid Avis if possible.
