It was hard to find my way once I exited the parking garage and it was very difficult to find my way back to the right address of the parking garage.
It was all OK, they are not fuzzy with pick up or drop off times or full or not too full gas tank. The car was according expectation and a slight upgrade.

Friendly efficient staff both at the pickup location in Montreal and the drop off at the London Airport.
A smooth experience from start to finish. The car provided was in perfect condition and getting and returning the car was a quick process. The price point was also excellent.

If the guy who dealt with parking when I returned the car had something more clear to prove that he works for Avis would be good otherwise I doubt if it was a good idea to hand the car keys to that person. Otherwise everything was smooth and really good. Thanks to staff and Avis

we booked the car (80 CAD) on kayak with an extra insurance for 11 CAD, the price was supposed to be with fees and taxes. when we arrived at AVIS rental we were told (by a very rude personn) the fees and taxes were not included i and that the 11 CAD insurance we took on Kayak was not eligible . We had to pay an extra 50 CAD just for the insurance. TOTAL : 190 CAD instead of 90 CAD (but she made a discount of 20 CAD, so nice !) i don't recommend KAYAK nor AVIS to rent a car. drop off instructions were not clear. car was nice and clean.
