Avis Monterey, CA airport: Worst rental experience of my life. Rented an economy size Mazda SUV for two days. Long story short, the rental was quoted right around $150/day. Returned it with less than 200 miles on it, full tank of gas, and we were forced to drop the keys in their lockbox because they only had one person at the desk, and a line of 10+ customers. We were well within the 48 hour limit. Two weeks later, I get my credit card bill, and they charged me almost $800.00 for our two day rental. I disputed it with my cre... read more

In Portland, Maine on 10/9/21 there was no way to reserve a rental car. I tried all the other companies. On 10/7/21, my father's wife passed away unexpectedly and had no other option to fly to Portland's Airport without knowing how I was going to get to his house 1.5 hrs away. To my delight, Avis had a car. (Apparently one of the only companies that did). The delightful woman working at the desk said that they only had the options of SUVs and I accepted, since if I was offered a Lamborghini, I guess I'd be driving that to Fr... read more

I rented from Avis on 9-11-21 in Chesapeake Virginia. After picking the car up, while driving I noticed an ant crawling on the dash. I continued driving and didn't think much about it. I then feel something crawling on my leg, it's another ant. Once I got to my destination I looked around the car and when you opened the passenger door I seen over 50 ants. The location that I got the car from was closed so I called customer service. The customer service agent tried to offer me $30 dollars off my next rental. I explained to hi... read more

If half a star was permissable, I would give Avis that. I reserved a car and they did not have the car which I needed so I was told to file for a cancellation and that it would not be refunded. Ok, I asked for a partial refund and received no word except that my notations would be added to my file. Really? I lose out on a fair amount of cash and I get no real explanation. Poor customer service.

Rented us a car that two hours off the lot showed a "break system failure error" and would not refund. AVIS reps told us that their roadside assistance service would not help us so we had to call a third party tow truck company to move the vehicle. They made it very difficult to get the car replaced. Terrible customer service, ruined my vacation. Not reliable. 

Business response:

This is the second and the last time I will be Renting from the Avis location at 5770 Peachtree Industrial Blvd in Norcross Georgia. I needed a vehicle to rent for just 1 day with a pick up time at 12:00 Noon on Saturday. I did not notice the sign on the door with the hours of operations, or else I would have asked a question about it. The manager who upgraded me into a different vehicle because they had no more full size cars never mentioned it. When I came to return the Vehicle on my way to Church Sunday morning shortly af... read more

I am never renting from Avis again. I rented a car this past weekend and accidently lost my key. I called Avis roadside assistance and they said that they would have to tow it away. I was alone and only had an alternate mode of transportation for that night. The roadside assistance stated that they would let the tow guy know that I needed a ride to the rental facility. The tow truck guy came around 10pm that night and they guy said that he could not take me because of their company policy. He also said that Avis should never... read more
