CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON AVIS IN FLORENCE

This is my second time renting from Avis, and both times the cars provided exceeded expectations. The service was good, and most importantly, the car conditions were excellent, enabling a smooth trip.

Not bad overall. The car had a lot of scratches, so be sure to take photos for evidence, or better yet, record a video of the entire car! When returning the car, if you didn’t purchase full insurance directly from Avis, they will inspect the car very carefully. If the staff points out damage and you don't have evidence, it can easily lead to disputes.

Overall, AVIS has relatively low efficiency. The wait time for picking up the car was long. When inquiring about how to return the key, I was instructed to use a keybox for self-service drop-off, but I was later charged a late return fee. The store's phone was unreachable. The actual car model provided was not very satisfactory, with poor handling.

The service was alright.

No upselling, received a quick pass email in advance, directly picked up the car at the store, and was informed about some precautions. Italian highways are divided into yellow, white, and blue lanes. Yellow corresponds to domestic ETC, white for cash, and blue for card payments. First, take a ticket at the entry point, then insert it into the toll machine at the exit and pay the amount displayed. It's quite convenient!

Initially, we had a pleasant chat with the lady at the counter, but when she checked the computer, she said there were no cars available and offered us a downgrade to a Polo for the four of us. We explained that we couldn't fit four people and two 28-inch suitcases, and she suggested making two trips to shuttle people and luggage. Finally, a teammate went to the parking lot, found the reserved car that hadn't been cleaned, waited for the cleaning, and then took the car. Felt that car rentals in Europe are very unreliable; reservations don't seem to help.

The service was excellent, and the actual vehicle provided was a Q2L. The car failed to start once, which led to parking at a toll station and receiving a 60-euro fine. Other than that, everything went smoothly, and both pickup and drop-off processes were very seamless.

I had to wait 2h20 to pick up my car in Florence; I never experienced this. They had many customers but it seems to be a known problem. Why then don’t they make it a better experience? They could have at least reduced slightly the overall costs as I could not pick up the car at the right time because of this issue. Additionally, they charged a large amount of money on my credit card and now 2 days later I still did not get a refund. Note though that the staff was helpful and courteous though visibly missing some personnel (and at lunch a few desks were empty, I guess for the lunch break ... but with many, many guests including me waiting for hours). One good point though was that the staff at the airport (drop off location) was very quick and efficient.

Although the language communication wasn't perfect, we still managed to rent a car.
