Avis Car Rental Company is NOT GOOD!!!! STAY AWAY!!! THEY NEED TO BE SHUTDOWN. GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!!! The one one specifically on 901 16th street in Sacramento, CA left my husband stranded today, after we have rented two cars for two months back to back. But, that wasn't the first incidence with AVIS. The first incident was that if you reserve a car online at their website, don't make a mistake, because Avis won't change your reservation. The will have to charge you twice, then you have to wait 10 business days to get your m... read more

Avis is a rip off. 0 stars. I was renting from avis all last year with any problems. Once I made a review this year about an bad experience I had with an online booking which cost me to be late for an conference out of state due to no vehicle being available at my pickup time. Avis has been harassing me extremely. So they send me two letters in the mail this month (AUGUST) telling me I owe them 102.87 for damages from my rental in December and another 89.00 for damages done to my rental and January. First off whenever you tu... read more

I booked a 2 day rental using the prepaid option with Avis online. The total estimated cost came to $196.58. I said I would pick it up at 13:00 on Friday and return it at 13:00 on Sunday. My flight arrived early and I asked Avis in Memphis if the car was ready, they said it was so I picked it up at 12:00 noon. I returned the vehicle on time at 13:00 on Sunday. When I saw the final bill, I was automatically charged an extra $75.07 (nearly 40% more than the original cost of the rental) for picking up the car ONE HOUR early whe... read more

I had a online reservation for a standard car from 8/14/2021 to 8/22/2021. I called the local office at ********* Daytona beach Florida, 2 hours prior to my 12:00 pickup, I wanted to clarify their weekend hours. The Budget car representative looked up my reservation, and I told him I would be in later. Shortly after my phone call to the Mason avenue Budget, I needed to change the reservation. I tried calling the local number again, but I received the message that all the local representatives were unavailable and I was fo... read more

We rented a vehicle for 6 days while on vacation at the end our vacation we refueled the vehicle completely before returning the vehicle as agreed upon. We get home to find out we're being charged for not refueling the vehicle so we called and they said they didn't charge us $140 fee and that our travel agency did which we knew wasn't the case so we continued to find out what the charge was and were told we didn't completely fill the vehicle. We send bank statements to provide proof of the gas we put to the vehicle and now t... read more

I am only writing this because I want to see AVIS improve and prosper: I just called Avis and the 1st rep I got just sounded like she did not want to answer the phone; she was not overtly rude , however I could hear covert frustration her voice...and I wanted was some infio ---I called back again and talk to a rep that talked so fast that he sounded like a used car salesman. Again, not overtly rude but he did not express any semblance of customer friendliness. This is the kind of customer service that brings down a company. ... read more

First issue with Avis was their reluctance to refund the difference for paying for a full sized car but receiving only a compact car. They refunded only $12 for a 5 day rental. Second issue was their attempt to charge is an additional $146 upon the cars return which we only noticed on our credit card statement. They quickly refunded the $146 in 3 separate credits (why 3 credits???). They also never explained the $146 charge. We attempted to resolve our initial dispute with them through the Avis portal and they would often re... read more

zero stars. I lost a wallet in a rental car and have spent 4 DAYS trying to speak to a human about it, after following all of their automated prompts (filing a lost claim, etc). I've received no help and spent hours on the phone with them. horrible customer service.
