AVIS service has become really bad.

Recently rented a car from AVIS from there M range. This was the first opting for a bigger car due to needed to fit a pram in the boot as I was traveling with a 3 month old child. The Avis I used was from the King Shaka Aiport. The car I recieved was a Nissan Magnite. When I first got the car the car had crack on the bumbers and tons of scatches to which when pointed them out the reply was noted. When i took the car I noticed that when breaking it was making a screetching sound. I called the AVIS office was told to take the car to the Umghlanga office to swop for another vehicle. I was then given a vw tcross. that vehicle had a few scratches and a dent on the drivers side. I took a video of this. I also made sure to let the person know and there reply once more was noted. When driving out I noticed the service light was on as this car was over due for a service. When returning the vehicle, I returned it to the airport and the person seemed adament I made the dent on the vehicle even though I showed him the video of the dent when i picked it.

I called there national call center to which I was told to call the branch. Tried calling the branch and the phone just goes dead. Tried 3 times. Sent an email to *** with the video and a screen grab from the video with red circle of the dent. Feels like this is the new model of AVIS giive there customers really bad cars and try to trick them into paying for the damages on it. Really bad customer service and from this experiane the last time I ever deal with AVIS
