Brussels Car Hire

Cons: mtmtransportgeraete@gmail.com

Cons: They tried to give me a higher level car by essaying to upsale what I booked via kayak, so the price rose to 450€ from 80€ conveyed with kayak. I didn't like the way through the seller tried to upsale me something that I didn't book. Furthermore they didn't know I had already an insurance with allianz made via Kayak, I suppose you should fine tune your partnership with AVIS. My global feedback concerning the customer care is really bad, even if auto was ok.

Cons: The rental was great until I went to return the vehicle. It started with the Return Agent who took close to 15 minutes to check it out. Then he noted a black scuff mark on the back passenger door. He took another 10 minutes determining that Avis wanted to charge me 725 euros. There was no paint removal -- just a scuff. When I become outraged - his reply was - that is what it is and what the computer states. I even tried to take a picture of the "damage" and it would not even show up on the picture. I asked to speak to a manager & was told I needed to go all the way into the airport terminal. I went into the Kiosk & spoke to someone there who came out with another Check-in agent & both agreed there would not be a charge - there was no paint damage. The Kiosk Agent brought me in to the Kiosk & ended my rental agreement with only the rental charges ($101 for 3 days). He stated that the Check-In Agent was new. To me, that is no excuse - you just cannot read a hand-held computer - you need to use your brain & have customer service skills - both of which this agent lacked, I was so very upset with the whole experience. To me - it felt like a scam. I was asked what type of insurance I had - sort of seemed like they wanted to scam the insurance company.

Cons: Pickup was terrible. We arrived at 20:30 to Brussels and there was no one in the office at the terminal only in the parking lot. Some of the other agancies were still open. There was a very slow person in the parking lot office and although there were only 2 cars in front of us in the queue we waited 75 minutes (with 2 children and a baby outside the office). Other than that everything was fine.

Cons: The van was missing the rear window wiper which greatly reduced visibility during the few heavy rain driving times. Not a serious risk however.

Cons: We paid a very high premium at the airport for insurance. The clerk took advantage of the fact that we arrived in the evening with 3 children. The price came out 796 Euros for 9 days. The site had only a supplementary insurance option. Finally we only made basic insurance. Finally we came out with the highest price of all the companies. We have often rented vehicles in the past and this is the first and last time we will hire Avis. We are considering filing a claim due to fraud.

Cons: I would suggest to buy insurance through the rental company directly, considering that if you had an accident, you would then not need to pay damages upfront, if you buy full coverage. When traveling in Europe, it makes sense to buy full coverage, even if it is more expensive, especially when you consider add ins like windshield or tire protection.

Cons: Car turned off each time I came to a stop with my foot on the break. Restarted when I released the brake. Annoying! When I returned it, I told there is a button to turn this feature off which they did not inform me about.

Cons: Wanted a car I could get into and out of easily, got a Megane which was very difficult for this old guy.

Cons: No body there at the drop off. They charged me around 30 € after I went back home and no body told me why? Or emailed me at least.
