0% Satisfaction for AVIS/BUDGET rent a car, South Africa

0% Satisfaction for AVIS/BUDGET rent a car, South Africa

I am unhappy and disappointed with Avis/Budget rent a car, South Africa. I paid an R400 deposit on booking a car for 2 weeks. On picking up the car from Lanseria Airport with Full comprehensive insurance included and a FULL to FULL tank agreement: I drove to Kimberley approx 520 km and filled up the tank with 52 liters. The next 4 tank fills for approximately the same kilometers took +- 30 liters each time. Conclusion: SHORT 20 liters from initial "FULL" tank.

I returned the car in Capetown airport and reported the shortage of 20 lt but I was told I must notify customer services.

I have made umpteen calls from the UK. Always on hold. I have sent umteen Emails with documented cash slips as proof.

NO REPLY except for automated responses.

6 days after handing in the car, with FULL comprehensive insurance paid for, I see nearly R4,000 more was deducted from my credit card. NO reason provided. 3 weeks later no Statement or reply yet.

Shocking disregard of client treatment. I am still waiting for an agent or client care agent to contact me. Pickup at Lanseria Airport 18th Dec 2019 - drop off Capetown International airport 2nd Jan 2020 - you can look up your own records.

Reviewer Update
I have now had a reply from Avis UK. They say because I did not report the missing petrol by 12 noon the following day they cannot help me. This despite the fact my contract says FULL to FULL.
Still NO response to the deducted £187 or reason given. This inspite of paying for FULL Comprehensive insurance and the FULL rental costs for my rental duration on pickup.
