AVIS CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN ITALY

It's best when the reserved car model matches the one you receive, avoiding a lot of trouble.

At Milan Central Station, we were forced to buy insurance!

EVENTUALLY PUSHED US UP WITH SOME UNNEEDED EXTRA SUMS - BUT WE WERE IN A HURRY AND SHOULD HAVE NOTICED BEFORE TAKING THE CAR... SO OUR FALT I GUESS.

Very dissatisfied. The original vehicle was unavailable, and I had to either downgrade, pay more for an upgrade, or cancel the order.

The car wasn’t clean fron the outside and Inhad to wait for about an hour to pickup the car as there was only 1 representative serving Avis, Budget and 1 additional rental company + they kept advising on getting additional insurance on top of the one purchased from EasyRentCars claiming that there would be lots of hassle and admin fees in case anything happened.

Despite booking over a week previously so that Avis would have plenty of time to set things up, when we arrived they did not have our car ready (Merc E Class) and did not have anything comparable to offer. After calling their associates, the only available alternatives were a monstrous Merc G Wagon (imagine trying to park that in the land of the Fiat 500) for more money, or a BMW 3 Series Touring. We took the BMW. Then we were informed that the insurance that we'd already paid for via Easyrentcars would not offer adequate cover, and for fully comprehensive cover we had to book with Avis. Given that we'd already had a car damaged in a car park in Italy on a previous trip, we felt that we had no option but to comply with Avis' advice.

Gave me the car with fuel door broken when make me pay for it

There is nobody at rental return Location with little instructions or signage to bring key back to desk. Can be improved

I booked the car for my mom. 1. Person at the counter automatically added "fuel top up" surcharge, which also increased the location surcharge (since it's 20% of the total price), and hence they said she would have to pay the extra when the car is returned. 2. He said if we top it up, then there will be no fuel surcharge, but there was still some money to be paid according to the contract (due to the increase of location surcharge). 3. After I figured this out, we had to ask for a new contract without the "fuel top up" service/surcharge. The original person at the counter was unwilling to help, but the second one happily printed a new contract, on which the correct price was written, where we don't have to pay anything extra (unless, of course, we don't return the car with a full tank). 4. Compared to other southern Italy rentals, I think it was pretty good and good price.

I booked three identical cars several months in advance, but when picking up, none were available. They said the cars were rented out and hadn't returned yet, and I might have to wait for hours with no guarantee of availability. We had to downgrade to smaller models, but the price didn't drop. It was twice as expensive as renting through other platforms.

We booked the vehicle for 8:30 am. When we arrived at 8:35 the branch was still closed. The clerks arrived only around 8:45 and the whole process until we left took over half an hour. When we returned the vehicle we arrived at 9:15 am and the clerk asked us to wait until he was done with another customer. A process that took him a long time. He then told us he owed us a high amount because we were late. He said the vehicle was delivered to us at 8:38 ...

They did everything possible to give me a small car and incurred a lot of unexplained charges.

Although there were only 4 people in line, the service was extremely slow. I overheard conversations about upgrades, insurance, and vehicle changes. Compared to car rentals in Germany, Switzerland, the USA, and Japan, the efficiency here is too low. Many unnecessary discussions that should be avoided.

Avis Naples is an absolute gong show. There were huge lineups at the pick area (which is outside the terminal) and we waited about 45 mins to get the car. Wasn’t the car we reserved but that was okay because it still fit our needs. No one inspected the car with us before hand. We dropped the car in Rome and the Rome Avis was great.

Always read small print. Especially with the language barriers.

Great!

Fairly reliable

Long waiting time

1. The car was replaced with a Ford SUV 2. Purchased additional insurance at the counter for €220 3. The car return process was very smooth

Picked up the car at AVIS in Milan Train Station and was told a deposit was required. Ended up being charged 850 Euros more for a 14-day rental. Prepaid 10,500 RMB before the rental and eventually was charged 2,200 Euros and over 17,000 RMB. This is outrageous and I strongly protest. Additionally, the originally booked SUV was replaced with a VW CC sports car. No refund was given for the price difference. I request assistance from the rental company to resolve this matter.
