Paris Car Rentals

Cons: Overall manager - never called me back to resolve an issue I had with the car.

Cons: Terrible drop off process - so confusing and took so much extra time. I am also in the process of fighting with Avis because of being charged way over what I originally paid for.

Cons: The car they gave me had spiders in the dashboard!!

Cons: VERY Poor pick up and drop off locations instructions. I decided to check the location the day before I was to pick up the car. I spent 4 hrs. trying to find it as the US representative had given me the wrong address and pick-up point information. I found two streets with the same name. I called Avis USA for info. Was given the wrong location Avis also needs to say when the pick up point is inside a parking garage and where the entrance is. Even when Uber delivered me to the correct address we couldn't find the entrance to the office. I had to leave luggage and young teenager at top of ramp walk 3 levels down the exit ramp for cars hoping to find where Avis was located as that was the only place we could find an Avis sign.

Cons: I drove all around the Gare du Nord in Paris for about two hours trying to find the drop location. My GPS did not work. Nobody spoke English and could help. Finally I used Google maps from the Avis and found the location, circled twice to explore an unmarked underground unattended garage. Finally saw some tiny signs on the ceiling. The search ate up all my time so I didn't get to top off the tank and got dinged for 1/2 tank of gas. Very exhausting and distraught when it was over. Ruined what until then was a great rental experience. The nature of the garage was not even mentioned on my rental agreement.

Cons: When we dropped if off in Paris, the drop off station was very sketchy in a below-ground parking lot and the employees didn't seem to know what to do with us. We also had to ask them to give us a receipt and confirm how much of our hold would be charged. It all felt very unprofessional and confusing.

Cons: Waisting time and money, the most valuable goods in a holiday

Cons: My reservation 44753552US4 for Premium - Mercedes-Benz C-Class was to be picked up at 184 Rue Du Faubourg Saint Martin, Paris, but was wrongly reported in the system to be picked up at Les Ullis i.e. over one hour and 100€ taxi fare! In addition, a wrong phone number of the agency on the confirmation... This is unacceptable: SHAME ON AVIS information system!

Cons: They did not notice scratches at pickup, I had to notice them. Tried to upsell overpriced insurance. But when returning, the guy immediately noticed them and charges extra 400 EUR damage. Had to open the contract and show, that the scratches there there already. Also, the reserved an amount on my credit card with the assumption that I will return the tank empty. Fine with me, but I returned car yesterday, but the charges is still not reversed! Not sure it ever will. I hope this scam market will get replaces by an Uber-like app some day soon.

Cons: The only problem was that I paid for insurance on line during the reservation and when I went to pick up the car they had no record of it. I had to buy insurance again, which was higher daily rate than the car itself!

Cons: The location is underground, signs is not very clear, hard to find it.

Cons: The seat was very uncomfortable and there was no way to adjust the back. Also- I opted for insurance online when booking the car. The agent apparently could not see this and tried to get me to insure with them. I had proof of insurance and they still tried to sell me insurance.

Cons: Warning, don't book with them. Charging after every momth wotgout notice or explanation!

Cons: The condition of the car was very poor and it appeared that every scratch was documented, forcing me to spend about 20 minutes surveying the car finding all the dents, scratches, stains. Unsatisfactory with over 34k kms

Cons: I made a reservation to rent a car and i received an email that confirmed my reservation, when i went to pick up the car, the lady from europcar told me that the reservation wasnt in her sistem and that she had no cars to rent me. I had already payed the reservation and the insurance. I was a mess, Im really angry beacuse I had to pay 400 euros to rent another car in a different agency, and it was in christmas so there were no cars left.

Cons: Not a big deal but it would have been nice to know that when returning the car there was a specific place to enter the parking lot (rental in Paris, France so quite confusing anyway). I ended up being pulled over by the police because I had not noticed the continuous line on the road (I was too focused on finding the parking lot). This is my mistake of course but an employee admitted that this happens quite often so I guess a warning or a small map could be useful :)

Cons: The car had more dents and scratches than usual. No windshield washer fluid and the rear window wiper blade was missing. The car occasionally made an unidentifiable tone sound. I also had a 10 euro discount the agent would not accept.

Cons: Didn't have an SUV but car I got was great.

Cons: We try to extended our rental for another day but the phone number giving never answer, at one point even said that it was closed!

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Agency was empty when I arrived. waited 20+ minutes as staff were out picking up cars. not a big deal, but that was a bit stressful.

Cons: Everything! The price was supposed to be &45 and it turned out that they charge for miles which I was never told because nobody spoke french in the fakacta place

Cons: It took a long time to check out

Cons: I was overcharged for my rental by about $70 for gas. I told Budget I did not want the "fuel up front" option when we rented the car, and was told I would not be charged for that. I returned the car with an almost full tank, expecting that I would be charged for the 1 or 2 litres necessary to fill up the tank. Instead I was charged 70 euros for the "fuel up front" option. I emailed the Station Manager, Julien Sigonney, at the Paris station in response to an email he sent me stating that if I had any concerns I should contact him directly instead of give a bad review. I emailed him immediately, asking for our final bill to see what I was charged for. It took him several days to get me a copy. Once I got a copy, I saw what I had been overcharged for and asked for a refund. It has not been two weeks and he has not responded. I have emailed twice more to get a response, and have received nothing. I will never rent from Budget again, and will make sure no one I know does either.

Cons: Renting a car is such a pain, scam, and sadly sucks away the excitement of a short break before you even set off. I booked four days car rental for $230 knowing I would get stung for some insurance. Then I ended up getting a smaller car, waiting 2 hours for it, being charged extra because they didn't have my car, paying surcharges.. dropping off the car with a final bill of around $550 conveniently charged to my credit card, I walked out of Avis/Budget counter feeling pretty sore. Onur ps. i didn't even opt for the $40 a day full insurance

Cons: The manager guy at the office was rude, unpolite and bad educated. He made our rental experience with this company terrible and left very bed impression.

Cons: The people working there were extremely unhelpful. Warning to all US customers: they will not a renewed license yellow paper. Ruined our trip.

Cons: The total cost was much higher than we have been told and in the credit card receipt it showed that the rental agency was Avis and not Budget, as we had thought.

Cons: Pick up was terribly slow. We waited almost a half hour before we were even able to get to the counter. Then had to walk to a different location to pick up the car. On getting to the garage, the car they offered us had not even been cleaned and was filthy on both the outside and the inside. We then had to wait another half hour before they gave us another car. Even though my invoice and bill were all in EUR, when I got my finall bill I noticed that, without my authorization, they had charged me in USD and charged me an extortionate conversion rate for the privilege. I used to have a high perception of Hertz but these sleazy tactics (which only amount to a couple of $ for them) make me want to put them into the same bucket as other sleazy operators such as Ryanair.

Cons: It wasn't clear at pick up or drop off how much money I would be charged. I had to look at my bank statement to find out how much I was charged.

Cons: Very bad service.

Cons: there is no signage on airport for your brand, so we got terrible to find out your location till we found Hertz whom are doing your job .
