AVIS Rent A Car UAE Reviews 

Rented a car from them, paid the cost of child seat upon picking the car.
After returning the car my credit card was charged with no explanation what so ever. Sent several emails to get a replay that the amount is for child seat and a road toll. 5 days later again my card was charged the same amount as the road toll. So basically they let me pay twice, at least till today, still waiting for an adequate reply from their side.

YOUR CARD IS UNDERDANGER!

FRAUD Company.

They took 3000 AED from my car as deposit. They said for fines.

+ They took my credit card information without my knowledge.

When i returned the car, they charged me besides this deposit 1211 Aed. Which suppose to taken from the deposit. I didnt even know they took my card information for new transaction.

Dont ruin your holiday with AVIS!!

Me and my family’s holiday ruined because of them.

I already informed dubai police regarding money fraud.

Terrible experience renting a car in Avis Dubai, on several occasions. Was denied a car yesterday, told at the counter that I cannot use a valid driving license if my current residency is in a different country. On a previous occasion, had to wait hours for them to bring my car although it was pre-booked well in advance. I think its a UAE-Avis thing, better avoid them there. The service is great in many other locations. Istanbul airport branch is really good, for example.

I rented a car from Dubai airport and had to use a debit card for the security deposit due to an issue with my credit cards. According to the contract, funds were to be refunded in 45 days; it has now been 70 days! No one answers the phone, 1 of 6 e-mails is responded to with 'we will send this to finance for review'.
Customer service is non-existent, plenty of better options to choose from.
And, when the initial inspection takes place and the guy says don't worry about that little scratch we don't count that, worry about it. Luckily I took pictures when I received the car as they tried to charge me for it when I returned the car.
Scammers from all perspectives.

Worst place to rent car. I had to pay 2000AED in deposit, no problems there, but when it came to the refund the told me i had to waite 45 days, also no problem. It took me almost 95 days to get the refund after talking to them multiple times. I did in the end receive back the refund but it was missing almost 300AED no explanation why just a cash register recipe that have been scanned and send as a picture.

Dont rent from this place.

dishonest and crafty never use this company, all want money from you and than the cancel your booking

Never ever use this company they hold your money for a month using and 3 days before the send you email and cancel it , I cannot believed, please never use this company

The practice to charge a deposit of
AED 5000 and a return policy of about 60 days makes this a no go company. Needless to say that I won't come back.

Alot of bad reviews here, my experience was good with Avis. I rented the car for travel to Oman. No issues at all with booking, car delivery on time, great customer service. Pick up on time. Car was nice. All the necessary car documents for Oman travel where taken care of by the company in advance.
Thanks to
Mohammad Arab, Ashfaq and Rafiullah.

Do not use this company. Told us we could not use the car to travel to Oman from Dubai on the morning of pick up, even though this was paid for and clarified months before. Left us high and dry. Take your buisness elsewhere

Very bad service... if you request for car service due minimum 2 weeks before they will collect your car, after collection they will blame you that your car was overdue on kilometer, worst part is they will replace a dirty car from inside and out and fuel is less than half. Staff are not friendly...

One of the worst rental service provided. Better to use taxi than using avis rent a car.

In December 2022 I responded to an ad promoting a one year lease on AUDI cars.
AVIS UAE first said okay for a one-year lease on an AUDI A6, then two weeks later said they cannot honour the deal, and offered a two years lease, that I said I would accept if they could wave the penalty clause. They said they would move forward. It was 11 January 2023, and I've never heard from them anymore.
So, they had me sign a contract, collected tons of documents and sensible data, did not respect the deal, and disappear.
It is unconceivable that these business practices are tolerated.

Do you enjoy the thrill of being provided a car that hasn't been checked over for faults and issues. Ever wanted to pay top dollar rental prices for a car that still has coffee stains and snot rags from the previous customer? Do you feel good customer service is a waste of time? Then Avis is the rental car company for you!

Never have I been so disappointed in myself to assume that such a big name in the rental car market would provide exceptional service across the world. It seems the one in Dubai makes up it's own rules and now I'm locked in for a year long contract with a company that just doesn't care to provide a good service or offer its customers safety and piece of mind.

Avoid avoid avoid. They will over charge you and then back it with pathetic Customer service! They should not be allowed to trade!

Wish I saw all these comments before I booked my car! I went in September 2022 and had to pay to use debit card. I was told I will have my deposit in 45 days. It's been 3 months - nothing!
They don't reply to emails!
They don't pick up calls!!
Nothing!
I've lost £600 that I'm clearly not getting back!
I'm getting lawyers involved because clearly they've been getting away with this! It's ridiculous!!

I rented a car whilst in Dubia in August this year. I only had a debit card with me so i had to leave a deposit of 2000 AED. They said that my deposit would be refuned with in 45 days. I am still waiting for my money back. I emailed 3 times and also called on multiple occasions for the UK. I will be in Dubia again in a few weeks so plan to do a video in the Avis office and load to my youtube channel which will put the link on here when its done. Expected better from a car hire company of this size based in Dubia!!! Disgusitng Theives

LOOK LIKE SCAMMERS:
Booked a car from Expedia, when i was the airport the rate increased 2 times for stupid reasons (with debit card is this cost)!
therefore i took it (on date 10/8/22), they told me your deposit 2000 aed will be back in 45 working days, the days has gone, but no money back and no reply from them!

Such a worrest communication... Need to change all the staff..
No one responded me when I called them to rent a car

Avoid at any cost. they are scamming you and charging for damage they caused and than laying about it.
if you care about your money, just rent elsewhere!
