1. Delayed car pickup with a bad attitude. 2. Numerous after-sales issues after returning the car, especially when booking through a third-party platform. They shirk responsibility and make unfounded charges, repeatedly charging misconduct service fees without any proof. 3. Many hidden issues: firstly, due to the domestic rental platform acting as a middleman, and secondly, neither the rental platform nor Avis could provide sufficient evidence for the so-called violations and violation management fees. Users are inexplicably charged on their credit cards! There is no way to complain or appeal!

1. The breakdown and origins of each fee were unclear. I never received the contract after picking up the car. They said they'd email it in 3-4 hours, but I never got it. The detailed invoice was only provided when returning the car, and it wasn't clear enough; 2. We booked a Volkswagen, but they gave us a CUPRA at the same price, despite having reserved the Volkswagen well in advance and arriving on time. The car rental company switched our car under various pretexts, which was unreasonable and resulted in extra costs; 4. On the return day, the car was fully refueled and had no issues, yet the invoice included a full tank refueling charge... 5. We only agreed to the full insurance, an additional driver fee, and the cross-border fee for driving out of Germany. No other charges should have been applied. Besides the 5200 RMB for the rental, my credit card was overcharged by an additional 8000 RMB, with excessive extra fees.

It was okay

The car was fine, but the German lady at the rental office was extremely grumpy. Just arriving in a foreign country and not yet accustomed to the English environment, I was slow to respond, and she was incredibly impatient. She misread my order and I had to argue with her for over half an hour until another employee came and sorted out my order. Due to the additional half-hour, I was charged for an extra day of rental. I asked for a refund through the rental platform, and also disputed the charge with my credit card company. When neither route seemed to work, the rental company proactively refunded me for the extra day. Lifelong fan of this rental platform.

The reserved Golf was not available, so I was given a diesel Nissan Juke. The car was in good condition, had good handling, and was fuel-efficient. Avis's car pick-up and drop-off at the airport were quite convenient, and their service attitude was decent, though the wait time when picking up the car was a bit long.
