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!

The car was in great condition and the snow tires had excellent traction. So far, no fines or violations have been found, and the toll fees are reasonable.

Few cars, recently returned cars are directly rented out to waiting customers without inspection or cleaning. Safety is not ensured.

“1. Make sure to communicate with the rental company about the pick-up and drop-off location and time”

About AVIS: 6.0 /10

Comparing makes a difference. The car I rented from European last time was handled very efficiently, and both pick-up and drop-off were super convenient. However, with Avis, the guy at the counter was on the phone for a long time before finally assisting us, and then it took ages with the paperwork. Returning the car was a big hassle too at the airport. We got lost, ended up in a paid parking lot and lost 40 NOK, all while rushing to catch a flight! The Avis office is very small and difficult to find, and even an Avis employee's sister, who is a taxi driver, couldn't help us locate it. Avis was very irresponsible in this regard.

About AVIS: 10.0 /10

The pick-up service was excellent. The rental company put the car key, documents, etc., in a bag in advance. You only need to sign some documents and swipe a pre-authorization; it’s very convenient and fast. However, the car was a bit hard to find – it was on the top floor of a parking building opposite the pick-up point. There were no signs in the elevator, making it somewhat difficult to locate. Also, for those who didn’t purchase full insurance, note that some scratches were not marked in the contract. It is recommended to thoroughly inspect the car and confirm with the staff.
