Very smooth process

Extremely satisfied

It's a small company, so they don't have a lot of staff. However, the pickup process was quick and they didn't check many documents. They just handed me the keys and I found the car myself. The car was relatively new but seemed to be an older model.

When picking up the car, they told me the one I booked was too small and offered an upgrade to a brand-new Tucson. Initially, the total price they quoted was £700, which I thought was too expensive, so I declined and insisted on my original order. After some calculation, they said they could offer a discount, making the total £514. I thought it was acceptable and agreed, emphasizing that my original order was already paid for, and the final payment should be £514 minus what I already paid. They confirmed, but the final order receipt wasn't clear to me. Seeing 514 as the final number, I signed the paperwork. Later, at checkout, they said £514 was an additional charge, which was appalling as my original order was just over £300. After repeated discussions, they insisted the contract had ended and according to it, I owed £514. I've come to realize that even the British can be unscrupulous, taking advantage of the fact that Chinese people's English might not be perfect, mixing up additional charges with the total price. I'd advise future renters to be cautious of upgrade traps, even with big companies.

The initial car was too small, despite us booking for 5 adults we were given a tiny SUC that we would not have fitted in. However, the agent at AVIS was extremely and offered an upgrade at a fraction of the normal price which allowed us to have the room we needed.

After 5 attempts to book, due to constant bookings be cancelled, we lost money in the exchange rate system that is used.

Massive queue at the pick up counter which really delayed my departure from the airport and plans for the evening. Seemed really slow with nothing pre-printed and only one printer which then jammed. Lady on the desk was lovely but horrible wait outweighed this. Will actively avoid Avis in the future if that’s the counter process.
