" Avis President's Club member"

As an Avis President's Club member, I must express my disappointment with the service at the Abu Dhabi branch. I was charged a deposit of 3000 AED on my card, and I was informed that it would be released after 15 days. However, more than 30 days have passed, and the deposit has yet to be refunded. This delay is not in line with Abu Dhabi's consumer rights regulations.

I raised this issue via email with Kelly Hanies and Mohammed Alfatih Arbab, and although I received an apology from Zakaria Hamil, the deposit is still being withheld. Even escalating the matter to Mr. Smith, the General Manager, has not resolved the issue.

I have now escalated the case to Consumer Rights Abu Dhabi. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend Avis UAE, not even as a President's Club member.

"AVIS SCAMMMM..Wish I google about this company before…"

Wish I google about this company before renting them in May. Was told that they accepted only credit card and I had only debit..they went ahead with my debit card and took 3000aed which till now I have yet to get it back. I was also told to take their insurance eventhough I alr opted for insurance in booking.com . The number they gave use to have ppl replying back to messages but now it’s auto reply. I have already lodged a report to booking.com. They also charged my card the toll amount even though they previously said will be deducted from the deposit amount.

"These are scammers"

We rented a car from Dubai 3rd Terminal branch on June 16. They took a deposit of 3000 dirhams (26850 TL) from us. They said it would be paid within 15 business days. 45 business days have passed and they have not paid. Turns out they were taking 3000 dirhams from everyone and not paying. These are scammers. I wish I had looked at the comments here and rented it that way. Don't waste your money on these.

"avoid this company"

avoid this company. very bad service. I rented a car from the airport and after driving the car it turns out that there is a problem with the engine. Reported via Whtsap and was supposed to arrive within 2 hours, but that did not happen. They are very difficult to reach by telephone. now a day has passed without being walked and I can't use the car. It's a waste of money to stress renting a car from this company. find another company that offers good service

"Unauthorized credit card use."

They took money from my unauthorized credit card without my approval. I think they cloned my credit card. I canceled immediately. Let's see when they will refund the 3000 AED deposit!

"Total SCAM"

Total SCAM, AVIS DUBAI,

DON't RENT A CAR FORM THEM IF YOU WANT TO HAVE HAPPY HOLIDAYS, THEY ARE THIEVES, AND THEY TAKE YOUR DEPOSIT AND WILL NEVER RETURN TO YOU.

"run away from these scammers"

If I could put zero, I would put zero! thieves !!!! they never refunded me the deposit paid in February 2024. it is June now

"DO NOT RENT FROM AVIS -- STAY AWAY"

Absolutely terrible experience, basically scamming you thinking everyone is an idiot. I booked a 7 passenger Toyota SUV prior to my arrival. The confirmation was successful and the email stated the car is ready. After a 14 hour flight I arrived to pick up the SUV. Turns out, they didn't have any SUV'S ready and no options for SUV's. Instead they provided me a Dodge Charger..... when I told them that I needed a SUV they were trying to convicne me that the Dodge Charger is a similar vehicle and I should be happy... I have been working in the Automotive field (Sales Manager at a Car Dealership) for over 10 years insulting for them to try to manipulate me saying its the same status of car. What a joke of a company. In addition. When I returned the car, they began the B.S of saying there's scratches and dents on a POS charger that was damaged to begin with, car had 15,000KM. Luckily I took pictures of when I picked it up proving that the damage was already there. (I Had to fight with the guy when I returned it in Abu Dhabi Airport nearly missing my flight) What a joke and headache. You will literally get 100x better service from a smaller company like Abu Dhabi Rent a car and also pay 1/4 of the price. They also wanted $2000 CAD Deposit ! LOOL STAY FAR AWAY... its almost as if they think everyone is clueless and just plain stupid.

"Huge deposit amount, and they don’t refund it"

I paid 3000Derhams from my debit card as deposit, and i when i gived back the car it was i very good case, and the mentioned in contract that they will refund me after one month after the contract finish.
When I contact them, they say that refund it’s under process, and i am jus waiting my money

"I have been charged for a full tank of…"

I have been charged for a full tank of gas even though I returned the car with a full tank. Despite my email of dissatisfaction and the check out report, I received no response or any modification to my invoice.
I do not recommend Avis to anyone.
Regards.
