Should you rent a car with Avis in the Seychelles and how dangerous is driving in the Seychelles | MightyTravels Mighty Travels About Reviews Airfare Deals Credit Cards Trip Planner posted on  December 1, 2014 by  mightytravels Should you rent a car with Avis in the Seychelles and how dangerous is driving in the Seychelles Filed under  Avis 0
I thought I would give Avis another try in the Seychelles and made a reservation online several days before my arrival. Since my flight was delayed by ATC restrictions for 6 hours, I updated the reservation according irish car rentals to the expected departure time.
Since my flight was late, the airport was deserted even though it was only 6PM! Nobody at the Avis counter, but a mobile phone number irish car rentals was posted. Since there is no WiFi in the arrivals hall, I asked if somebody would be able to call and I expected this to be a short call to arrange for the car to be brought to me.
However, the local representative and her business partner were in full unrest about my idea to receive irish car rentals a car that late, especially for a reservation I made online and why I would ever expect a car to be brought to me to the airport. They did not hang up, but both started yelling 4 letter words at me. I slowly and firmly kept insisting that I had a reservation and was expecting them to honor it as part of the Avis franchise agreement. This led to more bad words.
To my surprise, the discussion eventually settled into the agreement that they would come by in 10 minutes to arrange a car. Taxis are very expensive (think US$100 per ride to a hotel) and with no other car rental in sight, I settled in for the wait.
About an hour later, the Avis rep showed up with a car that had seen its best time 20 years ago. It had been driven 100,000 km on an island just 20 km long and barely had any working brakes, steering or tires. It did have an engine, though.
In the end, the car got me where I wanted in the next 48 hours and it did not break down. However, the sorry state the car was in and the small, windy and badly-illuminated roads are treacherous. I m used to driving on the left in small cars (yes, I lived in India and battled cows, donkey carts, one lane roads and trucks on their freeways ) but the topography of the Seychelles makes it an especially dangerous place to drive.
irish car rentals Online reservations basically don t exist to the local reps so don t expect anyone to honor it. To avoid the hassle at the airport, consider making irish car rentals no reservation and inspect the cars if you arrive at a normal hour with lots of car rental companies likely open. Otherwise, pay for the hotel transfer/taxi and have the hotel organize a car rental they seem to be a good hand at that.
