Confirmation Message *Business Name:* Avis Car Rental *Rating:* 1 out of 5 *Review:* I rented a car and received on 11 March in PE at Airport. No inspection was done in my presence and I was given an envelope and key. I captured the required photos and submitted them. I was not asked to inspect or report on the state of the bottom of the car. When the car was returned on 24 March 2026, I was told that the car was damaged at the bottom on the R front side (presumably the spoiler) I DID not damage the car, and do not accept this outcome. Phone calls were made to Port Elizabeth. The agent told me that two people had inspected the car in PE and did not mention any 'scratches' at the bottom of the R front spoiler (underneath the car). So my version was not accepted. I was required to pay a penalty for the said damages. I did not damage the car and do not feel satisfied with the outcome. I cannot recommend this company for good service as this was a very bad experience. I feel violated and exploited.

Hi Wilna,

We apologise for the experience you’ve had and the concerns raised regarding the vehicle inspection and subsequent damage charges. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

We would like to investigate this matter further. Kindly provide us with your rental agreement number and any supporting documentation so that we can escalate this to the relevant team for review.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will revert once feedback is received.

Kind regards,
Avis Southern Africa
