Car was in accident. Unsafe to drive - only one of the two doors operating. Zero response from Avis France to weeks of emails and calls. And then an unauthorised deduction from my credit card in excess of the amount estimated at the beginning of the rental, despite being within the mileage limitation and DESPITE for bidding any deduction beyond the contractual amount. Avis should be reported to the EU regulator.
