Terrible, terrible, terrible! First, the car pick-up location was changed without any notification from the rental company, making us wander in the cold for half an hour. The new location was very hard to find! We almost missed our car because of this! Second, the car given to us had a wet interior with many water stains on the floor, and it didn't match the model we booked. The trunk was too small to fit our three 28-inch suitcases, causing us a lot of trouble every day trying to rearrange them! Third, we had an early ferry at 7 AM on the last day from Lofoten to Bodo, and needed to rush to catch our flight after returning the car. To be safe, we filled up the tank at a nearby station the day before and didn't drive anywhere else. It took just five minutes to reach the ferry terminal from the hotel and about seven to eight minutes to get to the car return point from the ferry in Bodo. When we returned the car, we confirmed the fuel gauge still showed full. Yet, we were charged a ridiculous fee for not returning the car with a full tank… 1199 for a supposedly incomplete fill-up? That’s outrageous! What a lousy rental experience! Terrible!

There was no staff to check the car at the pickup parking lot, but the deposit was returned quickly when returning the car, which is great.

There were many people waiting to pick up their cars at Avis, so it was a bit slow. Since we had a lot of people and luggage, we booked a 7-seater car but were given a Sharan. However, I suggest that a Sharan is really not suitable for driving on those roads; the driving experience was much worse... Also, the Avis staff member was always lethargic. He told us where the car was parked, but after looking around three times, we couldn't find it. When we asked him to help us find it, it turned out they had parked it in the wrong place... This experience was a bit disappointing...

The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. They reminded us that we could return the car early and even adjust the return location. The paperwork was done quickly, and the pick-up point was very close to the city center.

When returning the car at Stavanger Airport, there were no specific instructions, just an address that our GPS couldn't locate. When we called for help, we were given incorrect directions, causing our group of five to drive around the airport for over an hour and miss our flight, which was a huge loss!
