Would have been nice to have a blue parking disc, first time I have received a car without it. Had a question on the rental, provided with wrong email and phone number for the local branch, corporate email went to the UK and were promised an answer in 'normal response time' still waiting..

Rented the car from Avis. The car was in average condition, but having CarPlay made it convenient for using maps and listening to music.

The front desk was professional and quick.

The staff recommended us to buy insurance, saying that if we did not, we would have to pay a compensation of EUR 1300 in case of an accident. We found it confusing since both parties' English was not perfect. After analyzing, we thought this might be a CDW insurance, which means no compensation would be needed if an accident occurred. Buying this insurance at the counter costs EUR 28 per day, which felt very expensive. Considering our situation, we decided not to purchase it. There were three service personnel at the counter, two were for gold members, and only one was for regular members like us, so it felt slow. We reserved a manual Peugeot 3008 or C4 Picasso or a similar car, but got a manual new model Opel Zafira instead. The car had driven 5000 kilometers at handover, was in excellent condition, diesel-powered, had a large front windscreen, and spacious seats.
