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 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.
