Nice comfortable SUV provided by Enterprise in Omagh. Pick up in Derry and returned to same location. Courteous and helpful staff. I have no complaints only compliments. It made for a very enjoyable month's holiday back home.
Unexpectedly hit with a £1500 deposit that was hidden in the small print that you don’t actually get a copy of. The customer before me had an even higher price. Sales reps obviously know this is dropped on people picking up cars as they immediately go from lovely to defensive and aggressive as soon as the customer is like “wait, what?” You can waive it by paying 150% extra to your initial rental….sort that out and they also take another £100 deposit for fuel! Hired a medium car and got a tiny Kia Rio with a driving performance tracker box.

The team at Belfast City Airport really went above and beyond to make sure that our rental was as stress free as possible. Great customer service. Highly recommended.
A couple of hours after returning our vehicle to an unmanned drop off location, we received an email claiming there was damage on the vehicle. We will fully dispute this claim through all legal avenues. It is deeply disappointing that Avis representatives would seek to fraudulently abuse foreign tourists in this way.

When I arrived they asked for £1200 Excess cover. This is on top of the £600 I was going to pay for the car. I did not use AVIS in the end
