I had a reservation with Avis for the end of April 2021. Booked the vehicle for $425 out of Fort Myers FL. Doing some pre vacation checking I realized I forgot to add a car seat for my 2 yr old. Went on the Avis website to add, charge of $70 plus tax. Received a new email confirmation of the booking for $508. Logged back in to my Avis account to check only to see a new balance of $1,147. After calling Avis they told me that because I "modified" the booking, I had to pay the new rate. Over an hour on the phone and they refuse... read more

Reserved a vehicle through Avis at the Waterloo, Iowa location on 2/24/21 for a pick up date of 4/14 at 3pm. I was contacted by Avis at noon on 4/14/21 (the day of my pick up) and Avis informed me that they gave away my vehicle and no longer had ANY vehicles available and cancelled my reservation. I contacted the corporate office of Avis to see what other options I had, I spoke to 3 different people who, in my opinion have NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. They did not apologize of even sympathize with me on my current situation. ... read more

Worst Car rental experience I've had. I know how car rental places work, so before I returned the car, I went and paid to get it washed and detailed so they couldn't try charging me for cleaning services. Upon drop off, the lady behind the counter said they discovered pet hair. I advised that's not possible, as I don't have pets nor were there pets in the car. I leave, and behold the $162 charge on my credit card a few days later. I called customer support, and asked for the photos/proof/supporting documentation of the pet h... read more

Rented a car from them on 5/15/2020. I rented it for 3 months. Five weeks later a recovery company called me and said that the vehicle was reported stolen and wanted to know where I was. Turns out the the person that rented it to me only did it for a month and I didn't catch the return date on the paperwork. I told them the situation and they had my credit card so I told them just to charge me for 3 months because that is how long I need it. They told me that they could not do that and I had to go back into the store to get ... read more

Rented from AVIS Daytona Beach International Airport. The car was fine as I was about to leave the lot I notices a hand held radio in the car. I figured it was a staff radio so I walked back to the terminal counter and returned it to the desk agent. The rest of the rental was uneventful and the car was returned the next day. Several weeks later i received a letter that there was glass damage to the car during my rental and I was to be billed $424 for the damage. I called the number on the letter and stated the car was undama... read more

Everything went smoothly with my car rental and return in College Park, Georgia. Customer service was friendly and helpful at pick up and drop off. What I have an issue with is being charged $250 over a month after returning the vehicle for "damages", while I was never notified of the "damages" or that $250 would be charged to my credit card. I feel that this is a HUGE lack of respect by your company to think it is okay to charge my credit card without any notice or my knowledge of the incident. I was offered $125 back by th... read more

Business response:

This literally made me cry. We've lived near this location for three years. Rented several times. They even upgraded me to a Camero once just because. It was disappointing when the deposit was increased period as middle income deserve vacations too. But we were like ok. But this time, I deal with a woman I've never seen in there. Gave her my info and she claims they need to run a credit check because I'm using my debit card. Ok. Cool. THEY DENY ME MY RENTAL FOR MY CREDIT. We've given them business often because our car is cr... read more

UNSAFE RENTAL COMPANY THAT DOESN'T EVEN CLEAN THEIR CARS DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC!!!! I rented a vehicle from Avis on March 13, 2021 for 9 days for the cost of $474.58. Upon renting this vehicle I expected to receive a clean, well maintained, and reliable vehicle. The vehicle I received was dirty, to include sticky residue on the center console, steering wheel, gear shifter, and door handles. There was also an area that looked like puke on the passenger seat shoulder area that had not been cleaned at all. During this glob... read more

This freaking company is ridiculous - they overcharge you and dont seem to care about getting you your money back - never use this company at all - the vehicles are dangerous and they dont seem to ever maintain the vehicles.
