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.

The EZ-Fuel policy is the worst policy. It is not a service to opt-out of when you pick up the car. If you drive less than 75 miles, you are charged a flat fee about twice the amount you pay in gas. Only way around it is to show a fuel receipt at drop off but if the people are late (return at 5:05 when open at 5) how are you expecting customers to get the fee removed. Customers...scrutinize your return receipt for hidden charges you are not told about up-front. 

Business response:

Regarding the BBB as mentioned above, thank you for allowing us to address your concerns. Avis values the relationship that we have with our travelers and always strives to do the right thing. Our goal is for our services to meet our customers' needs consistently; We apologize that the EZ-Fuel policy is not favorable to you. The EZFuel is most beneficial to travelers who drive fewer than 75 miles; it saves time by not refilling the tank. If you refill the tank, present a receipt to counter or customer care, the charge wi... read more

Working with Avis has been a complete nightmare. Not only did they cancel my reservation and leave me stranded at the Calgary Airport with no options to get to where I needed to go. They proceeded to charge me for a no show fee when they cancelled the reservation. When I tried to call they told me they were not responsible for the charge and I needed to call someone else. Absolute nightmare to do business with and will not ever use them in the future. Customer beware! 

Business response:

Company will rent out already damaged vehicles. They do not thoroughly inspect the vehicles when they get returned. I rented from the Bishops International Airport in Flint, MI in July. After about 30 minutes on the highway the small sun seemed to have some hesitation issues. Shortly a light came on the dash but we made it to our hotel destination. The next morning we got in the car and it started and within a couple minutes it started to die. We were able to turn around and coast into our hotel parking lot. I contacted cust... read more
