Even with reservation, process to pick up takes a long time. So even though not many people in line, took 30 minutes to get to counter. Drop off though was very easy.

A city map in the car would have been helpful. Reception young lady was friendly and helpful. We have not seen final invoice to see whether gas has been credited back? Great little car, good gas mileage and performed well.

Had to cancel. I needed to change my reservation and no one answered the phone for 3 days. There was no way to change the reservation on-line. So I cancelled and went with a different company

Location was right next to the train and bus station. Glad the car came with built in GPS as San Sebastián is not easy to drive around in. Rental staff very helpful and speak English too.

The car was great and available for us at the airport.

The counter was very slow. It took 45 minutes in the line with 2 customers. Checkin could have been a lot better. Also they told us we can fill up gas at airport station when we return the car. When we got there to return car- the gas station was closed.

I was impressed by the friendly and professional attitude of the AVIS staff at both pickup and drop off They were very enjoyable to work with. It was the best car rental experience I have ever had.

Everything was excellent.

Nothing at all

The service person at San Sebastian airport kept on breaking off while she was servicing me so she can attend to other guests who were waiting in line. She was curt. She was not respectful at all. She did not help me with directions at all. She gave me rental car that was far from satisfactory (Citroen).

The rental car was great. Had comfort, gps, and good gas mileage. We had a SEAT car. Mid size. People were helpful at station. Good experience overall.

We reserved one kind of car. They give us a wildly different kind of car and acted like we should just be happy with it. It really changed our vacation experience because we wanted a family car and they gave us a cargo van.

Easy pick up and drop off. Great service.

Maybe include a map of the area, including highways leading out of town. I overheard 2 people, plus myself, asking for directions before getting into the car.
