Unauthorised deductions and delay in refunding deposit

Takes unauthorised payments from your account, charges you for suspended etolls, drives around the car after giving it back with a full tank in order to score higher petrol rates and admin fees, then fails to pay back your deposit.

Rather go to Thrifty, excellent customer service.

Yes on you agreement it states that "gazetted e-toll tariffs apply" it is also further published that e-toll tariffs are suspended. I also want proof that e-toll was paid to e-toll and that AVIS has not been enriched. It also states on you agreement the amount of petrol charged which was deviated from which is contradictory to you own terms. Then we want to know how we give AVIS A FULL TANK VEHICLE AND THEY DRIVE AROUND THE AIRPORT TO SCORE AN ADMIN FEE TO REFEUL 2LITRES!!!????

With regards to releasing the funds, it has been the same bull**** story over and over every time a different date with AVIS.

I also want a refund of the e-tolls which I am not by law obligated or mandated to pay as it was suspended together with the 2ls of petrol and admin fee for driving out my petrol in the airport.

AVIS are a JOKE. Will never again rent any vehicle from you again.

Hi Zanelle,

Our team sent a request to the bank so they confirm if the deposit is still on hold or if it was released. The bank confirmed that no amount is pending in your account for Avis. This means the deposit was automatically released by your bank. 

For authorisation queries, please contact the bank directly.

Never resolved. Unfortunately I will be refusing my insurance company to have me use AVIS again.
