Update: Unfortunately, things only got worse. The truck was still dirty on the outside, and the inside looked like it had maybe just been vacuumed—nothing more. I even paid for an extra day because I thought I’d be late returning, only to arrive and find out they don’t even have a lock box. That means I now have to bring the key back tomorrow, which is a huge inconvenience. Original Review 7 months ago: My husband has rented from Avis before, and this was by far the worst experience in terms of vehicle cleanliness. The renta... read more

I’ve been renting from Avis for years, and this location continues to disappoint. Today, I walked in to rent a car and was told they were “completely sold out.” But oddly enough, I saw multiple customers walk in and leave with vehicles—and their lot is clearly full, as you can see from the attached photos. What’s even more frustrating is that we booked a reservation for 9:00 AM tomorrow, over a week in advance, specifically to ensure availability. When we asked about it, they shrugged and said, “We don’t know. We’re sold out... read more

I’ve been a dedicated Avis customer for over 6 years, renting cars almost every week—always with my debit card, as I don’t use credit cards. Today was a major disappointment. I made a reservation like I always do. Everything was confirmed, and they even handed me the keys. But then—out of nowhere—they decided to run a credit check after the fact, and when it didn’t go through, I was told, “sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.” That’s not just unprofessional—it’s unacceptable. I’m an Avis Preferred President’s Club membe... read more

I’ve been a loyal Avis customer for over 6 years, renting vehicles at least 3–4 times every month. I’ve always used my debit card without any issues—until now. Today, I made a reservation like usual. Everything was confirmed, and I was handed the keys. Then suddenly, the staff decided to run a credit check after the transaction was essentially completed. When it didn’t go through, I was told, “sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.” That level of uncertainty is completely unacceptable, especially for an Avis Preferred Pre... read more

If I can rate this location zero stars I will. Firstly let me start by saying I live 3 hours west of the location. Picking up the car was very smooth until about 3 weeks later I got a flat tire which I had to change myself because roadside charges about $100-$200 to change the tire. I texted the guy at the counter about the issue he told me return the car and he will put me in a new one. A day later I swapped the car out and got a new one, well this car was great until a week later it needed an oil change I texted the guy at... read more
