AVIS CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN AUSTRALIA

When we picked up the car, they just gave us the key. It was a small Mitsubishi with some scratches. They said photos of the car had been sent to our email. Upon inspection, the exterior seemed fine. We rented the car for 8 days but only used it for 5. On February 16, we drove from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road to Port Campbell. On February 18, while returning and stopping at a gas station in Colac, we noticed part of the left rear wheel cap had come off. Despite multiple attempts, we couldn't reattach it. Further inspection showed it was unsafe to drive at high speeds with it partially detached, so we put it in the trunk. The wheel cap was made of plastic and clipped onto the tire with no screws, and part of the clips were already broken. We had only driven about 400km on the Great Ocean Road, the roads were in good condition, and we didn’t have any collisions or accidents. We believe the wheel cap was already damaged when we picked up the car but it was not visible. After contacting customer service at Zuzuche, they advised us to visit a nearby Avis or Budget location for an inspection. At a Budget location 7km away, we were told the car was safe to drive without the wheel cap. On returning the car on the 20th, the staff immediately blamed us for the damage. After remote communication with Zuzuche, we filled out a form explaining the situation as their customer service suggested.

The good thing is the navigation location. The car is on B1. When you exit the basement, press the call button at the exit. The staff's attitude is acceptable.

Very satisfied

Perfecto, me trataron bien

Todo bien, muy intuitivo

Very satisfied

Overall satisfied, but slightly disappointed not to get the reserved car model. The sedan was replaced with an SUV. The throttle lag of the MG is much greater compared to Toyota, very hard to get used to. It started slowly while making a U-turn at an intersection, almost blocking the car behind… I hope I won't encounter an MG model next time.

The attendant was very friendly and quick; they only charged a 100 deposit.

The pickup store exhibited serious racial discrimination. My card couldn't process the deposit via the POS machine, requiring manual entry, which would only take a minute. Instead, they forced me to let a bunch of people behind me go first, making me wait for half an hour to get the car. I also saw the staff telling another Chinese person using a Chinese driver's license and translation that it would take more time to fill out the forms and asked him to let others handle their business first. If the rental company considers Chinese customers as second-class and doesn't want to treat them equally, prioritizing locals, they might as well not accept Chinese customers at all.

Very satisfied, picked up the car on time, got a Camry hybrid.

Overall good

The service from the staff at the store was excellent.

They gave me a car from 2021 when I rented in 2023.

Reputable brand

They quietly added a road assistance fee and charged us afterwards. They claimed that a toll payment device would charge the credit card directly without extra fees, but there was an additional management fee.

The typical style in Australia: everyone is extremely friendly and detailed, which unfortunately leads to very low efficiency. When I picked up the car, there were two customers ahead of me. I thought it would be quick, but it ended up taking almost an hour because they were basically chatting, completely ignoring the people waiting behind them.

Satisfied

Very satisfied

The only concern I had was that no paper contract was provided for pick-up and drop-off (it's available in the email), which made me feel a bit uneasy.

Very satisfied

Avis is a reliable big company.
