AVIS in Bergen was extremely helpful. Due to the bicycle race we could not return the car as planned. The local AVIS people were very accommodating in agreeing to pick up the car and allowing us to catch our flight back to Stockholm. They could not have been more helpful. The poor rating is solely due to the excessive one-way fees and the failure to explain these to us.

Nobody unexplained costs for a one-way rental and fact that they could change this fee at their discretion. The Bergen AVIS office increased the one-way fee by 3x (from 4000 SEK to 12000 SEK) without any notice that they were doing that. We did not discover this until we returned from our trip and I checked our credit card statement. The total cost of the 3-day rental was over $2300.00. We feel cheated and taken advantage of and will likely not rent from AVIS again! When I called AVIS customer service I was told there was nothing that could be done....in essence it was our fault for not asking in advance. extremely disappointed.

Excellent car for driving the Fjords

Confusing drop off -- directions or signage would have been helpful

The car itself was fine.

When I arrived in Bergen, Norway, to get the car, I was charged an additional $167 for "mandatory" insurance, despite the fact that I had selected insurance when I made the original rental agreement. I agreed only because I could not rent the car without agreeing, and my itinerary depended on having a car from that day. Immediately after returning to the US, I researched the "mandatory" insurance, but even Avis was unable to tell me. I am currently in a dispute with Avis through my credit card company. I also received an additional charge of $25.43 with no explanation. When I requested on, Avis sent documents in Norwegian rather than sending docs in a language I can understand.

We were assigned a manual transmission car which neither of us knew how to drive and asked for a different car which we were given. The customer service was great and we loved the car we were given

Poor|Sep 2017

The address given to us to return the car was incorrect and had us show up at a location that was incorrect. When we dropped the car off at the correct location (which took a while to find), there was a sign on the door telling us to drop the keys off in another location. The other location took us over 30 minutes to find and involved us carrying around all of our luggage all over the street in the rain. It was absolutely the worst experience I've ever had renting a car. I tried calling the 1800 number multiple times and was never able to be connected to someone who could help. I will not be renting from Avis or budget again.

Nice staff.

To pick up the car, you need a bit of walk, and the sign to the pickup location was a bit confusing.

Good experience, but it took 25 minutes to rent out the two vans and I had reservations for both and all details were already made when reserving the vehicles. Why should it take that long???

The vehicle(nice Volvo XC-90) they gave me had bad brakes and 2 bald tires. Once I figured out how bad the tires were I tried calling hertz to switch vehicles because I felt very unsafe with my family (wife, 4 year old, 1 year old, and brother) in the vehicle. They did not have a 24 hour number and the process to switch vehicles was ridiculous. They originally told me the only way to switch vehicles was to have the vehicle towed to a mechanic with me and have the mechanic diagnosis and fix it. If the car was not able to be fixed they would then tow the car back to the airport with me and switch vehicles. The manager of the Hertz Bergen airport location was/is horrible to deal with and I would not rent a vehicle from them again.

I tried to request a refund because the location did not exist. I tried many times to find it, had several people (locals) help me, and no one knew where it was. So, I had to use another agency, since I don't think the address listed was correct. I would really love a refund since I was unable to get my car.

Don't try to book after hours with Hertz here. They have a self service after hours kiosk, but it's unlikely they will actually put your keys in there. We had to wait until the next morning to pick up our car. Cost us $80 in taxi/bus fees and we were not reimbursed for those or the lost time with the car.

Hertz fabricated a damage claim of two scratches on the car that they said happened while I had the car. They then billed by credit card for $1700 for the repair. They are running a criminal scam.
