We initially booked the rental car on Zuzuche for 1,375 euros, but when we got to Rome to pick up the car, they said we needed to pay extra because there were two drivers, raising the price to over 1,600 euros. We accepted that. During the trip, our car window was smashed by thieves, and when we returned the car to the Madrid Avis location, they charged us 480 euros for the repair, which we also accepted. However, Avis ended up charging us a total of 2,357 euros, at least 200 euros more than expected, and there was no way to dispute it.
I was promised a Mercedes Thunder or a similar class vehicle, but was given a Fiat. How is a Fiat considered the same class as a Mercedes??? Moreover, this Fiat only has one door on the right side in the rear; there's no door on the left side, so you can only enter from the right. The first seat you encounter is broken (the seatbelt doesn't work). Seriously, I'm baffled. How can they rent out a car like this?
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.
