Cleaning charges unfair. Got charged $250 for cleaning because of "excessive soilage". the company has shared pictures and I think it may not be inaccurate and while it shows some dirt, I believe that is in keeping with normal wear and tear and should come out with with their standard prep. I can share these with BBB if needed. The agent we returned to saw nothing amiss and I got a receipt. I have never previously been assessed a cleaning fee. the concerning thing is another family we travelled with and returned to same faci... read more

BEWARE PREPAY OPTION. The conditions are misleading as stated. It says there are no penalty fees for changes to your reservation, including changing the return date. However, toward the end of the document it states that if you turn your car in early you will have to pay the full amount. I paid $2,900 for two days.

I searched for a car to take from Chicago to New York and Avis quoted a price with a detailed list of fees and gave an estimated total. It said that "extra miles" would be charged at 20 cents per mile. I assumed they calculated in some kind of minimum or expected milage to New York as part of the quoted price. However, when I got to New York, they charged me $400 more than the estimated total they quoted me. This comical discrepency happened after they already bait and switched me in Chicago with a higher price than I expect... read more

Do not rent from Avis, They give you a quote when you make a reservation and do not disclose additional fees. They add a $200.00 fee for incidentals which is refunded but why do they even need to take that fee. They were under staffed & then one of the staff members left while there were still 5 people in line. The clerk we had pushed us into buying the Toll Package because she could not tell us with the processing fees would be if you went through a toll, and they dont even refund the money if you never use a toll. The car ... read more

First time renting and last time, horrible experience. Booked way in advance, confirmation of car requested, payment was reserved. Arrived to Bakersfield airport not the car I reserved, would not accept my card I reserved with and run it as credit. Representative smirked at me and advised me if I was at convenience store or grocer my card would be accepted. I was appalled. My son had to use his card, same bank issued cards. Very unprofessional and disrespectful.
