I reserved a car through their online site for pick up at o'hare airport for November 11. When I made the reservation they immediately charged my card. When I when you go pick up the rental I did not have the card I had originally paid with. The women at the counter had me call customer service. Upon calling customer service they told me that they could not release the rental today because I did not have credit. What does my credit score have to do with a car rental?? I would assume I can pick up my car rental that I had alr... read more

Despite paying top dollar for a rental SUV, I was provided with a lesser vehicle at the Madison, Wisconsin AVIS Rental Counter. The icing on the cake was when I received an email from ***** Fleet Services, that AVIS wanted to collect 'damages' for minor paint scrape-offs on the bottom of the rear painted bumper, that I had not even thought of reporting when I rented the vehicle. FYI - I am a retired 70 year old businessman, who has rented hundreds of vehicles during my career, and this experience represents a new low... read more

Arrived to pick up a vehicle ordered through my corporate company for a work related trip. They not only did not have the vehicle when I arrived but were rude, rushed and simply told me I was "just out of luck and can try another location" for a vehicle as nothing had been returned from the inventory. The problem was eventually solved 30 minutes after my pick up time when there was a "unexpected" return, however had this not happened I would have been "just out of luck". I was advised that although they did have inventory be... read more

BUYER BEWARE / Bait & Switch: As a long time "Preferred" customer of Avis/Budget, I made a reservation on Avis site for one month rental, CDW - Collison Damage Waiver, was accepted and therefore included in the rental price quoted. Upon arrival in Bologna airport, the agent, (very friendly, helpful, and professional), said that I had declined the coverage, and that it was not included. At the time, I had no way to prove I had the coverage as my mobile phone wasn't working. I had no choice at the time but to accept the add... read more

I rented a vehicle for a one way trip to MA; only to find out that I had selected the wrong dates. I contacted Avis to reschedule the one way but the dates I needed weren't available. So I had to cancel my reservation. Normally, Avis hits you with a $50.00 cancellation fee (which I think is horrible) but since my reservation was two weeks out and I had to cancel because they didnt have anything available, the customer service rep said she would waive the cancellation fee. Well after all that bull was spewed to me, they took ... read more

The worst, purposely lied about having cars. Purposely didn't answer the phone to say he didn't have car's. Purposely acknowledge the fact that he was letting the phone ring so the international call center could answer knowing they didn't know if he had cars or not. Purposely walked me out the door and wouldn't direct or help me. Know other Avis would honor my reservation or confirmation number. I never spoke with a supervisor or corporate representative. And repeadly was bullied by customer service and reservation speciali... read more
