Great staff, great car and great experience all in all. But I want to went some of my frustrations about car rental companies in general: I do though think it is unfair to charge drivers under a certain age an extra fee, it makes no sense. Shouldn’t it rather be based on when you got your driving licence? A 24 year old person who has been driving for 7 years is certainly a better driver than a 27 year old who got their licence a week ago. If you’re basing it on statistics, that younger drivers are more likely to be reckless - then you should also charge all male drivers an extra fee because they are statistically much more likely to cause accidents than women.

Pros:

Good location at the airport

Cons:

We got a ticket at the harbor in Tórshavn. I called Budget and was told they would take care of it when we returned the car. They DID NOT tell us they would charge double for the service. Not good,

4.8 Mediocre

Sep 2019

Pros:

Rental center is right next to terminal, easy process to pick up car.

Cons:

Rental car segment said passenger van and had a picture of a large van. We arrived and were told we had a small hatchback with 5 seats. We would not have booked with Avis at the price given if they communicated the vehicle class properly. Very disappointed, we felt tricked by Avis.

Cons:

We were told tank was full and return it the same, however when we got to the vehicle it was 3/4 full. Overall not a huge issue

5.6 Fair

May 2019

Pros:

staff was nice but scared me into buying daily insurance even though had purchased my own, which made the rate jump higher than I had budgeted for.

Cons:

They should honor other car insurances. And be more up front with the billing process. Basically I signed a contract that was not filled out with proper numbers. This was at this airport. I had just landed from a 13 hour trip and did not want to deal with this.

7.6 Good

Nov 2018

Pros:

The car was comfortable and drove well, although there was no clock, and I tried every option!

Cons:

The oil was so dangerously low on the car, it took two containers to get it to a safe amount. It took my morning of finding a gas station, then a car shop because the gas station did not have the correct oil, etc. Had I ignored the warning, they said I would have burned out the engine and been stranded. They should not assign the car without running it through basic maintenance checks after each use based on mileage or something of the sort. The oil was so low this should not have been missed. I was in a foreign country with no cell service, and this could have been very dangerous, and even more expensive. Not happy.

My experience with Avis on the Faroe Islands was fantastic. Despite the remote location and the small airport, the Avis experience was as it should be. The representatives were kind, thorough, and helpful during pick-up and return. I would rent from Avis in the Faroe Islands again.

Could not believe how expensive rental cars have gotten but that's not the agency fault. Avis in the Faroe islands was typical of most places but staff seemed like they just did not want to be there.
