Horrible AVIS Centurion Experience

WARNING!! Steer clear of AVIS Centurion branch. They will charge you for damages not caused by you. They will rent you a car with half a tank of fuel and tell you it was full when you collected it. They then have the arrogance to try and strong arm you into not only withholding your deposit, but charging you even more than that for damages caused by previous renters or themselves. What a joke of a branch. The branch manager should be removed from her position as she is not worth the cleaners salary.

E***.
The only damage that is my responsibility was the door lock that was broken when they broke into the vehicle to ***** my laptop, but the branch manager insist that I caused the two other dents on the vehicle as well, which is absolutely madness. I can't help that they didn't do a proper inspection beforehand, then blame me for it after I returned it.

Hi Ben,

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention, and please accept our sincerest apologies for any frustration this situation may have caused.

Following a thorough investigation, we found that the dents currently on the vehicle were not present during previous rentals. Unfortunately, it appears this damage occurred during your rental period.

We completely understand that this might be disappointing. Our vehicles are inspected prior to each rental, and any existing damages are carefully documented. We also encourage all customers to inspect the vehicle and report any concerns to our team before leaving the branch, we also confirm that the vehicle was full upon check out.

Thank you.

Avis Team

Best regards,

Don't you guys get it??

Your records are wrong!! When the inspection was suppose to happen, it rained so heavily that we could't do it properly and had to do it inside the garage where there is not sufficient lighting to see dents.
I took a photo of the vehicles fuel level just as I drove off. The kilometers will prove that Please let me know where I can send this photo to to prove that the pre-inspection and your records were not done correctly!!!!! Sho, how stubborn/******** can one company get?

Good afternoon

I've been contacted by the branch manager's manager, who is even less helpful. He already decided that damages were caused by me even before he looked at the photo and the emails sent to him. He simply assumed that AVIS employees are unable to make mistakes, and he defends their *********** at the expense of customers satisfaction.

The way I've been treated with this whole matter is absolutely ridiculous. AVIS has zero respect for their customers, that has been made very clear now.

I will not remove this review until AVIS make things right. This is a principle issue. AVIS is simply unfair.
