Unsatisfactory experience

Last week I rented a car with Avis and I requested additional 700 km to be added because I was traveling very far and then then the normal standard 200 km a day would not have been sufficient so for me not to pay a lot of additional kilometers when I bring back the car hence why I requested this additional kilometers to be added to my surprise when I I received my invoice I was never given the additional kilometers and hence was charged additional kilometers that I traveled I was very unhappy about this whole situation and to add to salt to the wounds they never actually wanted to investigate first before they actually resolved the query on the invoice and I was told that they will refer back my query to the branch and up to today I have not received an email or a phone call just to hear what my issue is and then on top of that all I know is that when Avis that they care about the people not the cars well in this instance they are contracting themselves because all they care about is just the money and not the people so what I expected actually was for this query to be finalized before the invoice was completed

Hi Mandla,

Thank you for contacting us,

Please note that we do not have the option to add extra km on a rental on top of what you are given for free to travel, we do bill you extra per km for each km driven above the free km you were given and on your rental, you had 200 free kms to drive each day therefore for 4 days you had 800 free kms, as you kept the car for only 2 days, you then are given 400 free kms and we charge you 2.83 per km charge.

The Km charge is billed correctly.

Avis Team

Fair enough, however what was your consultant referring to when she said now I have 700km, it's either she didn't explain what that meant. Again as I indicated that there was no explanation of the important things that I need to know. What I know is if a client takes a contract you explain the important things that need to know ,otherwise you doing business in bad faith. For example it was never explained to me that 800km is broken down into 200km per day,als the R600 upgrade how it works. In totality the whole contract details was not explained as I indicated to the consultant from your accounts ,some of the things I only discovered when she explained and then it was too late which was at the billing stage and if they were explained during the hiring stage, might have made different decision.
