Terrible Service. Booked a car for 8 days and pre-paid it. I called to try and come a day later...nothing else was changing. They told me it wasn't possible and that they would give my car to someone else. If you want a company with service think twice.

We went to Italy on Mar 30th, 2019 to April 12, 2019 and rented a car from Avis company. Everything went well there until two (2) months later, we start getting these outrages charges on our Visa for unexpected tickets. There were 4 tickets of which 3 tickets were of the same day. Avis decided to charge us four times for these tickets and called it admin fees totalling a grand amount of $259.49, just for "admin fees". We weren't even notified of these tickets/charges until i got my visa statement. They charged us on the visa... read more

The front desk associate was friendly and professional. I booked through ****** travel and was given a rate. My rental agreement signed at the counter displayed the same rate. There was no mention or confirmation of drop off time, but my agreement showed 2:42pm. I returned the car by 4:05pm and my receipt showed 4:15 due to the rep looking over the car and taking some time to print my receipt. Later in the airport I noticed I'd been charged an entire day for returning just over an hour later than the pick up time. I called t... read more

I was on a family vacation In Florida from 4/8-4/13/21 and had a rental with Avis. The experience was great up until I returned the car. I stopped to fill the truck up at a 7 Eleven 20 minutes always from Airport and when I checked truck in they checked everything off I get all the way back to Michigan and then they try to charge me $162 for gas stating that I never put gas in the car. I went through circles to get a receipt to prove that I filled the tank and finally got a copy and all they can do is apologize and credit my... read more

This is a Buyer Beware review. When my husband and I made our reservation to pick up a rental in Florida, we declined all additional insurance coverage. It says that on the reservation. When my husband picked up the car from the airport, he simply picked up the car. Did not look at the receipt unfortunately because we had already had a confirmed reservation. ALL of the additional insurances had been added on WITHOUT his knowledge or consent. Because he received that contract, we have now paid over $1000 in extra charg... read more

Please save yourself the heartache. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. 4 hours sitting at the rental car agent because 3 different people at the company didn't know the card that PREPAID the rental could not be done on that card. Despite at least 3 times asking the specific question. They already HAD their money. They cancelled the rental, required a different card which had to be driven to the location to be physically presented and then they rented the car to someone else and said oops out of cars ve... read more

I rented a vehicle at the Flushing, New York (JFK Airport). I prepaid on my credit card.. When I noticed the pick up time was 12 noon, i called to correct and they proceeded to charge me extra which i understand. Three days into my trip I got a Check Engine Light and Low Tire Pressure Light. I used their Roadside Service to tow car away. I waited 2 1/2 hours for the service to show up. They could not provide me with a car that day and had to go to another office the next day to pick up a car. Their billing is atrocious. I wa... read more

Rented an intermediate suv for $430.03 (prepaid) on March 19 2021 at the Tampa airport for 6 days. When we got home and looked at our e-receipt they are charging us $392 dollars more. They said I went in and made modifications to our reservations. No modifications were made and they cannot tell me what changed. After the phone call with the rep. I got an e-mail saying reservation confirmation. What?? This is some shady **** here. I am in the process of disputing this. 

Business response:
