Jun 2021

Pros:

Nothing. They we're almost impossible to get a hold of, couldn't look up any information on their computers, told us they would email us multiple times and never did. 0/10 would never recommend to anyone.

Cons:

We tried to change vehicle travel dates multiple times, it was well within our travel policy but they said we had to do it on Kayak, kayak said we had to do it with them, when we circled back to them they said they can only give us a partial refund, they they said we need to talk to their special refund customer service department. They never got back to us, we called again, they said they would be contacting us within 24 hours. They never contacted us, we called again and they said we had to wait to hear back from their special department which weeks later has still not contacted us. Honestly this company seems like way more of a scam then an actual rental company. Avoid at all costs and go to another more reputable rental company.

They did not show up at the airport to pick me up. I ended up renting another car.

Jun 2022

They took the car to the wrong airport so we had to wait over two 2 hours. When they finally got there the guy was very rude and tried rushing me past the inspection. The guy dropping the car off left and when we went to start the rental car the battery was dead. Overall we were stuck 5 hours in a foreign country halfway around the world and booking.com customer support was absolutely no help. I will never book through a 3rd party every again.

There was an unexpected fee of $100 which increased the price of the rental significantly Supposedly it is in the fine print that all rentals have the fee. I will not be booking with Avis or budget in the future.
