Flexclub

Avis Plettenberg bay needs to be educated with the Flexclub, i booked a vehicle online via Rentoza drive Flexclub for 6 months then went to avis office Plettenberg bay in the morning of 02/02/2026 but was told still waiting for proof of payment then left to work. I called around 11 to check if they managed to get proof of payment and asked which documents they need. I went to thr branch again then was told they didn't see the booking if its 6 months so they will have to do background checks the next day then i decided to cancel that booking as seems its going to take long. I relocated from Cape Town to work in Knysna this year.

Dear Solule,

Thank you for sharing your recent experience with our Plettenberg Bay branch regarding your booking through Rentoza Drive Flexclub. We sincerely regret the inconvenience and frustration you encountered.

We understand your concerns about the delay in confirming proof of payment, the lack of clarity around the 6‑month booking and required documentation and the additional background checks that caused further delays.
We apologize that this process was not handled smoothly and that you felt compelled to cancel your booking. Your relocation to Knysna and need for reliable transport makes this situation even more disappointing, and we recognize the impact it had on your plans.To address this matter:

  1. We are reviewing our procedures with Flexclub bookings to ensure our staff are fully trained and able to process long‑term rentals efficiently.
  2. We will reinforce communication standards so that customers receive clear guidance on required documents and timelines.
  3. We are committed to improving coordination between our branch staff and Flexclub to prevent similar issues in the future.

We value your feedback and your history with AVIS, and we hope to restore your confidence in our service. 

Thank you.
