I booked a car for 25/8/26. I wanted to upgrade my booking. The manager at avis cape town airport just refuse to help us. She demanded my pasport & international licence. She would not even give me chance to speak and canseled my booking on the spot. We wore stranded at airport for more then 8 hours trying to find another car from somewere els. Which cost me over R10 000. December 2025 service was good but this was the worst ever. I will not recomend avis to enny one els in future. Mariaan Robberts
