Avis Rental problem

Hello, early this yer I made a booking in UK for car hire in Italy using AWD code A515100, I received an email confirmation of booking telling me the charge would be 211.91 Euro, when I arrived at the airport to collect the car a completly different set of charges were printed out there was a 10.45 Euro theft protection added, over nine days 114.69 Euro extra!

The Avis rep said that he was unable to explain it and that to cancel the booking and to make a fresh booking as a walk-in customer would cost more.

Can someone on this extremely helpful forum give me an idea what happened and the best way to deal with Avis about the problem? I have used Avis many times and have never had a problem. Many thanks G

The discount code you are using has the LDW included, it is possible they have negotiated certain protections to be added when their US AWD is used, instead of their EU AWD.
