Very happy with the experience. I was meant to return the car at the end of the day on Friday but had some unexpected delays. When I called to inform them they just said it was fine to bring it back first thing on Saturday “not a problem”. Based on this recent experience in Bristol, I would definitely use them again and recommend them.
Pickup in Bristol was excellent. Very friendly staff; provided an extremely nice car and the price and value were great. Car was a hybrid so hardly even took gas.
LHR is pretty closed down so it was kind of hard to find my way from the drop off rental location to the airport hotel.
Transfer to and from airport was painful and less frequent than advertised

Avis staff were great. Very efficient, no queues, immediate drop off. Car was in great condition. Main problem was with booking through the brokers kayak and Qeeq. I booked a mid sized SUV on the broker site because I have 3 kids to fit across the back with car seats. When I arrived at the desk, they had a VW Golf for me. I don’t blame Avis: this is the class of vehicle that was booked by the broker. In my opinion that was false advertising by the broker. I had to upgrade at the desk, luckily they had a bigger vehicle. I would book direct with Avis next time and cut out the cowboy broker

The drop off in Newquay was confusing, no signage for the dropoff. The staff were friendly and helpful. We picked up a car in Bristol that had been keyed all along one side of the car. The attendant in Bristol advised us to take pictures. We did and the dropoff attendant looked at them.

Staff great.
It wasn't made clear during the booking process that this was through the US site and didn't include collision waiver (as this is normally included with US credit cards). Upon arrival for pickup it was requested that we pay an additional £12/day for this insurance as we were paying with a UK credit card which didn't have this cover. This should have been identified during the booking process to forewarn or prevent non-US clients from booking on the site.
