Avis vs Hertz - battle to the bottom

9 August 2007. We've written previously about the fact that Avis Johannesburg's ineptitude endangers babies' lives, and given recent experiences with Hertz, we decided to carry out a comparison of Hertz Johannesburg and Avis Johannesburg Airport to see who's the biggest loser.

 

Avis Johannesburg Airport
Hertz Johannesburg Airport

Did they remember to provide the car babyseat?

Forgot the car babyseat.

Forgot the car babyseat.

Time taken to bring the car babyseat from depot

Took about 20 minutes for car babyseat to arrive.

Took some 15 minutes to get the car babyseat.

Comments on car babyseat they brought.

Brought car babyseat for toddlers, we needed one for an infant.

Car babyseat was broken - baby's seatbelt was missing a part needed to tighten it properly.

Second attempt at bringing a car babyseat

Brought correct car babyseat for infants.

Brought a working car babyseat.

Would Avis set up the car babyseat?

Yes, but they didn't set it up properly thereby endangering the infant's life.

No, they would not set up the car babyseat as they didn't know how.

We conclude that, Avis Johannesburg and Hertz Johannesburg are pretty much equally inept at arranging car babyseats; Hertz Johannesburg wouldn't set up the car babyseat as they didn't know how - considering that they are in the car rental business this is surprising. On the other hand, Avis did try install the car babyseat even though they also didn't know how - this is slightly worse, as it leaves one under the false impression that your baby is safe.
