Booking cancellation refund

I made a booking on the 2nd Of May when I was trying to rent a car for my boyfriend and chose the 'Pay now' option using my *Debit* card and listed him as the primary driver. However after receiving the confirmation email I was made aware that the details on the card that made the payment needed to match those of the driver so I immediately called customer service. I was informed that the only available option was for me to cancel the booking since this didn't align with their policy and that my refund would take up to 7 business days. It has been 19 days now and I still have not received my refund back. I tried calling and even emailing customer service but have had no luck in getting any response.

Good day Lernia Sakasa,

Thank you for contacting us. 

Normally, if a booking is cancelled on the same day it was made, the prepayment would not have been debited, it would only be reserved on your account. 

We have sent a manual request to our merchant bank, Nedbank, to confirm if the funds are pending on your account. Should the bank confirm a such, we will instruct them to release the funds back into your available balance. 

In the interim, please confirm if the prepayment amount of R2506.00 shows as a debit on your account? 

Best Regards, 

The Avis Team

Best regards,

Good day Lernia, 

Thank you for your response. 

Please note that we have received feedback from Nedbank confirming that the funds are only reserved on your account. We have requested that they process a manual reversal, please monitor your available balance within the 24 hours and note that you will not receive a bank notification upon reversal, however, only your available balance will increase. 

Best Regards, 

The Avis Team
