At Avis, we really do try harder. We pioneered blogging in the car rental world and we aim to make our blog much more than just an information source. You can use our blog to ask questions or tell us what’s important to you when you hire a car. We try harder because we care what you think, so we really do value your feedback.
New to car rentals? Our blog gives you tips and advice on getting the most out of your Avis car hire experience. You can find information about booking and hiring your car, safety tips, and eco driving. We also provide driving advice and the latest news about our fleet.
We understand that hiring a car is just one part of your trip, so our blog covers other aspects of holiday and business travel too. Whether you want to know more about business travel hire conditions, access to location and city guides or ideas for families travelling with children, it’s all here.
But that’s just a taster – find out more about the Avis blog.

I received your invoice this morning and telephoned with my concerns that the narrative did not match what I has signed up to, in that the amount I had agreed to as accident waver etc was called “windscreen protection”. I should also say that it took 11 minutes before my call was answered. I was advised that there was an alignment problem between systems and this would under no circumstance be changed on my invoice. I would suggest that £82.80 for apparent windscreen protection is erroneous and confusing and would suggest something could be done about it.
Otherwise I could not fault the service.
Many thanks

Does Avis charge a surcharge for drivers over 70? I am 73 and want to rent a car in England for an upcoming holiday.
Thanks.

The car hire experience for occasional travellers like us is fairly stressful especially at airports. That is why staff training is so important. For instance, lunchtime on September 7th at Manchester airport – top floor of the multistory car park – we were kept waiting (along with another couple) for over half an hour for (pre-booked) cleaned cars to be delivered. Not a major complaint in itself, but the young man in the Avis booth with the red waistcoat and ‘We try harder’ badge never once uttered the word ‘sorry’ in our various conversations. As he personally felt the delay wasn’t his fault he obviously felt there was no need to apologise. This seems to me a quite important training point. I makes me less inclined to choose Avis again.
