Good deal
Pros: Everything ok, new car, good equipment, good price.
Cons: Had a problem with a credit card, accidentaly charged twice, now have to wait for some time to get the funds back.
Rip off
Pros: Quality and cleanliness of vehicle
Cons: Staff at hamburg airport are pirates. Late at night collection my
company had prepaid the hire and all the extras for insurance and sat nav etc. The staff took it upon themselves to add lots of extras and upgrade the car without telling me and made me
sign everyhting in German. Returned the car two days later to find the bill was 3 times that agreed. My company said they do this all the time to people. Will never use Avis again.
Smooth pickup, professional staff
Pros: Car was ready when we arrived; no pressure to upgrade; staff was friendly and professional.
Cons: All was good.
Hamburg
Pros: Car (Skoda) seemed to be an upgrade from VW Golf; car was roomy & fairly fuel-efficient.
Cons: I arrived at the airport at 0800; AVIS did not open until 0900.
Found no "Parkschein" in the car.
Automatic engine turn-off/on was annoying (that's Skoda's problem, not Avis')
Drop-off was terribly slow and seemingly disorganized
Cons: I had to stand in line for 80 minutes and then it took another 20 minutes to sign all the paperwork. I was charged a one way fee that wasn't in my confirmation, everything had to be reprinted, what a mess...
As a result I was promised an upgrade with a built in navigation system. When i finally got my car there was no built in navigation system. At that point I had spent over two hours to get my car and left.
Fraud
Cons: German Avis refused to accept the insurance coverage I purchased through Kayak, claimed it was illegal for Kayak to sell it to me in the first place, wanted to charge me $1500 for an extra insurance which I refused because it's outrageous to pay that much for insurance and then Avis charged my credit card close to $10.000,- for damages that I have no way of proving them wrong for AA I'm back in the states now. avis is a fraud operation!!! The US insurance you sold me claims I have to pay everything, they might reimburse me partially if they think it's correct. I'll never use Kayak again.
