We initially booked the rental car on Zuzuche for 1,375 euros, but when we got to Rome to pick up the car, they said we needed to pay extra because there were two drivers, raising the price to over 1,600 euros. We accepted that. During the trip, our car window was smashed by thieves, and when we returned the car to the Madrid Avis location, they charged us 480 euros for the repair, which we also accepted. However, Avis ended up charging us a total of 2,357 euros, at least 200 euros more than expected, and there was no way to dispute it.

Avoid this car rental company in Rome at all costs. Either pay 50 euros per day for their insurance or risk facing a nightmare. Since we didn’t purchase insurance from them, they gave us a car with a contract explicitly stating there was a dent. It was nighttime, and we didn’t take photos of any other damages. Upon return, they immediately pointed out a hole in the left mirror—which we accepted. However, after returning the car, they charged my credit card 2599.99 euros. When questioned, they sent an invoice listing various scratches and damages. It was absolutely shocking—one small dent cost us over 1,000 euros! This is the first time I’ve encountered such a frustrating car rental experience. We've been waiting almost a month, but they still haven’t provided a detailed breakdown of the charges—just the invoice with pictures. The rental platform is actively helping us negotiate, but the car company is extremely uncooperative. I highly recommend avoiding this car rental company.

The Avis branches at Rome Airport in Italy and Madrid Airport in Spain provided excellent service. The staff were enthusiastic and attentive, the pick-up and drop-off process was convenient and quick, and there were no hidden charges. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Five stars!

Because I bought full insurance, they informed me that I didn't need to fill up the tank when returning the car; it's okay to return it empty.

The car model we booked was not available at all. When we showed the contract to the staff, they didn't care and said that the model in the contract was unavailable. We had to either accept the available model or not rent at all. Since it was midnight, could we really not rent? We ended up reluctantly accepting a smaller model. The trunk could only fit three suitcases, and we had to place another suitcase on the back seat, making the back seat extremely cramped. The journey was very uncomfortable!
