Avis SYD World Square tips

[thewinchester]

A PSA for fellow AFF members: Avis World Square is a PITA to return your car to after hours.

We wanted a car for a Saturday, and sadly our chosen outlet (Thrifty) didn't have any vehicles available that day. So, a few blocks walk from the hotel and we had an XR6 for the day.

Carpark is designed by Satan, no clear markings/directions, hardly any bays, or information in the vehicle wallet just in case you forget where to return it too (we did remember thankfully).

And heaven help you if you get the very last parking bay at the end when driving an XR6/G6E. You'll need to swing out very wide to get in because of a pylon on one side and a 2ft wall on the other.

So, here's a couple of handy hints:

1. Avoid rending from Avis World Square if you're going to return it back there after business hours.
2. Bring a friend to help guide you into the bay.
3. Expect to spend at least 20min finding a bay, followed by an extra 10min trying to get out of the carpark and back to the street (no signs to help you).

It might be my age but I'm starting to find that all multistory car parks are sub-optimal

OT but.....

That carpark was used in the making of the Matrix movies.

back on topic......

The whole carpark there is a missmash due to the nature of the building. Sydney residents will remember the large hole that occupied that site for many years until a building was commenced but the developers went broke after only building the carpark levels. At that time it was opened to be used by Secure parking and has been added to as an apartment building was added, then E & Y moved in then the current shopping district was built on top and all this has combined to create a fun filled adventure for anyone entering the premises.

Yes this is a great idea, I have used Star City Avis before and it is very easy to get to and from to collect/drop the car.
