CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON AVIS IN ISTANBUL

Positive feedback

Overall, quite satisfied. No need to queue, and the staff explained all the essential information.

Great service. They allowed me to rent a car without needing the original domestic driver's license. Excellent!

The staff at the store was very friendly, efficient, and had no issues communicating in English. Everything was explained very clearly! The car pickup was very smooth!

It's acceptable, explanations were detailed.

Great experience.

The store is right inside the airport, very convenient. The deposit is low and was refunded within three days after returning the car. Avis is really great, the car was in very good condition, and both picking up and returning the car were quick and easy. The deposit was also low. I'll definitely choose Avis again in the future. Before traveling, I read a lot of negative reviews about other companies, so I decided to rent from Avis in advance. They have a counter at the airport, which is very convenient. The car was new, with less than 3000 km on it. The initial deposit was just 500 RMB; I thought it was a mistake at first and confirmed it multiple times through text messages. The deposit was refunded the day after I returned the car (minus toll fees). During our 12-day road trip, the roads were well-constructed, wide, and not very crowded. Fortunately, we rented a small car, otherwise it would have been difficult to navigate in and out of small towns. Google Maps often directed us to very narrow roads in small towns. The toll fee was automatically charged through an HGS device, and gas stations offered free car washes.

Picking up the car at the airport is very convenient, someone directly drives you to the parking lot.

Overall service of the car rental company is good, but the service for customers with language barriers needs improvement. It would be helpful if the store provides a diagram to indicate the pick-up location. When customers have no internet access, the store should allow them to use its network for mobile translation.

Picking up the car was very convenient. However, upon return, it took a whole hour longer than expected. The staff at Nevsehir Airport kept saying they would arrive in 10 minutes, but ended up taking an hour. Luckily, I didn't miss my flight.

Like: I liked the car

The pick-up process was quite fast, but the car provided wasn't a Mercedes Vito—it was a Fiat, which was bigger. When returning the car, they claimed it was dirty and wanted to charge over 4000 lira for cleaning. Luckily, we had spare time and cleaned it ourselves in 5 minutes, saving over 800 RMB.

Professional, well-organized process, and both pickup and drop-off are convenient and quick. Received the invoice and deposit refund shortly after returning the car.

Everything went smoothly. No need to queue for the car pickup, and the store was easy to find.

Smooth service, pleasant experience.

After dropping the car in best condition and the receiver told me that, I received by email from Avis Turkey in Turkish language an invoice for total of 1,222 TL while i already paid for my car rental to you in ADVANCE! I called their number several times but no body answered. Pls clarify with them as i will NOT pay twice for car rental.

Very friendly, but there was a shift change right when I arrived. They mistakenly thought my order was combined with another customer who was also renting a car. It took more than an hour to get the car, but the service attitude was consistently excellent.

This was my first time renting a car. I chose the cheapest car but opted for the most expensive insurance. I thought the staff would take me to the car, but instead they directed me to select one from the lot, so there's a high chance the car you pick might not be available and they'll give you another one. The staff also presented a paper while signing the agreement, stating that any issues with the glass or undercarriage would be the driver's responsibility. This is not a problem as long as you have purchased the highest insurance on QEEQ; local insurance companies can reimburse it, although you may need to pay upfront. You can just take the car yourself. AVIS is a big rental company, so they might overlook small details. When returning the car, follow the 'rent a car' signs, drive slowly and follow the instructions. Go to level R of the parking lot where there's a small office. The staff will quickly inspect the car and then you’re done. As long as there are no major scratches on the car, it should be fine.
