AVIS - Berlin City West Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

Few people, convenient car pickup.

Quite professional, just a hassle to find the garage on your own.

It's alright, but picking up the car and returning it took some time. The instructions weren't very clear.

Not bad, the taxi driver knew the way. The store was easy to spot and also clean.

The car rental process was very smooth. We brought printed orders and the necessary documents, and the service was quick and friendly. We originally booked an economy car, but we got a large Ford SUV with GPS in English. We opted for full insurance, and after the car got a small scratch, we just filled out a form when returning it. It was easy and hassle-free.

Everything is standard. German company with regulated service.

I prefer renting a car in Germany because the vehicles are in good condition, the service is excellent, there's a high chance of getting an upgrade, and they don't have hidden charges. We originally booked a standard manual, but at the pickup location, we got a diesel manual station wagon. Since we planned to drive for several days, we asked if there was an automatic version available. The staff checked and offered a new C-class gasoline automatic with navigation, which had only been registered for a month. We were very happy! The navigation worked great, and we barely used Google Maps. When returning the car, we were a bit concerned because it was late and no staff was around, so we parked in the designated area and went to the office the next day to return the keys. We were told to just drop the keys in the drop-off box in the parking garage. In all of Europe, renting a car in Germany is the best choice.

The rental and return process went smoothly without any issues.

Extra charges. Total was 288 euros, they charged me an additional 281 euros, almost double. Even if Avis cars are cheaper, I won't rent from them again.

Picking up the car was convenient, but we got a Nissan instead of the booked Mercedes. The Munich airport branch was hard to find; the GPS was not accurate. We nearly missed our flight while trying to get the correct coordinates with someone's help.

Could not contact AVIS. Had trouble finding someone for both pick-up and drop-off. Found the car by checking license plates in the parking lot. When returning the car, there was no staff to be found, had to ask around... After returning the car, tried to contact them to get the deposit back but couldn't reach anyone. Calls went unanswered and no response to emails until now.

We booked a car through Zuzuche for five days and fully paid in advance to Zuzuche, but Zuzuche didn't transfer the payment to the car rental company. We were supposed to pick up the car at noon on October 3rd, but due to a train delay, a friend called to inform us that it was a National Day holiday in Germany and the car rental company hadn't received any payment or deposit. Therefore, they wouldn't hold the car for us. We rushed to the car rental company around 2 PM, but it was closed, and we couldn't pick up the car. The next day, there were no cars available either, so we ended up paying but never received the car! Meanwhile, Zuzuche kept making excuses and refused to refund our rental fee. We recorded a video on-site, and the AVIS staff confirmed they hadn't received any money and that we could get our money back if we didn't get the car under any circumstances. Despite this, Zuzuche continued to make excuses. So, be very cautious when renting through Zuzuche!!! Be careful of paying and not getting a car, as they don't prioritize customer interests at all. Unethical company!

We booked a rental through Zuzuche for five days and paid the full amount upfront, but Zuzuche did not pass on the payment to the car rental company. We were scheduled to pick up the car around noon on October 3rd, but the train was delayed. A friend informed us that it was a public holiday in Germany that day, and the rental company hadn't received any payment or deposit, so they wouldn't hold the car for us. We arrived around 2 PM, but the office was closed, and we couldn't pick up the car. The next day, there were no cars available either, so we ended up paying for a car we never received. Zuzuche kept trying to avoid refunding our money, but we recorded a video at the scene where an AVIS employee confirmed they hadn't received any money and that under the circumstances, we were entitled to get our money back. Despite this, Zuzuche continued to evade responsibility. Be very cautious when renting through Zuzuche!!! They might take your money and fail to provide the car while not caring about customers' interests at all. A dishonest company!

Just okay
