The only reason I filled out this reading questionnaire was to comment on the drop off process at Pico airport. I had a 9:45 AM flight and showed up at 9 o’clock to drop off the car. Given that the company knows that there is a flight in the morning with rental contracts ending the same day that they would be available to receive the car. At 9 there was no line to go in through security, which was my plan to relax before my flight. The booth didn’t open until 9:20 with boarding the plane starting 10 minutes later.
At this time there was a very long line at security. When the two guys arrived and I complained, They said they were arriving from Faial and the reason they were late. There I was with an eye on the clock to board my flight while trying to return someone else’s car. Stressful and ridiculous. Why the company at Pico airport can’t hire someone locally to attend to clients promptly is beyond me. Maybe using a different company in the future at that airport who’s booths were open at a reasonable time.
The car was perfectly adequate and clean, but had clearly been in numerous minor accidents before. Avis' fast track service did not work / was not available at this agency despite having filled in my details in advance.
Had a problem with rental car and had to be replaced on day 3 of our holiday, but was sorted out with Avis with an upgraded vehicle , sent a taxi to our accommodation to take us back to the airport and pick up replacement
“Went smoothly for a first time customer. No mysterious charges or issues (nearly a week on)”
About AVIS:7.0/10
Counter staff lady spoke English well and explained everything but was slightly dead pan. Offered to upsell with full insurance and also to a slightly better car, but not at all pushy. Explained tolls and previous damage to vehicle.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
Contacted customer service and received prompt attention. Good communication and tips by email/Whatsapp throughout the booking. For some reason my booking was duplicated on Avis's system. They used the booking with the reference code from the email. I don't think I was double charged.
We had to take a number and wait at the store, and the staff kept trying to sell us insurance even though we repeatedly told them that we had already purchased it. Eventually, the staff member seemed a bit unhappy.
