Beware the Avis Switch
Pros: Anton, the young man that rented us the car was very professional, helpful and understanding.
Cons: I rented a car for a week in Bar Montenegro. Now If you make a reservation through the US system of AVIS you will get a very LOW price. BUT when you get there to pick up the car you find out you will have to put a huge hold on your credit card. Mine was 12,500 EUROS or $14,467.00 ! Which by the way is more than the car sells for new. Now AVIS is well aware of this issue but DOES NOT clearly spell this out in any way on their site or the sites like Kayak. So to get the hold amount down to a “reasonable” 1300 Euros the PER DAY rental increased by 100%. In other words I had to rent it at the local rate. This is a cynical attempt to drag you in with a low rate while not giving you INFORMED CONSENT of what it take to actually get that rate.

Pros: Not very much
Cons: I hade to get the management of the hotel to speak to avis so I could get a car as they said they hade no booking for me via kayak.I then had to pay €20.00 each for pick up & return pick up.I also had to pay €20.00 each day for collision waver that I had already paid on line when I booked the car with kayak via alianz.but as they had no booking I could not take the risk.so I will not be booking through a third party booking system again thank you kayak but no thanks P.Hood
