Horrible customer service with Roadside Assistance reps and on site rep at Avis Preferred desk. I picked up my vehicle at PHX airport on 3/14/23. In less than 24 hours, the check engine light came on 2x with the engine shutting down in traffic while stopped at traffic lights. I had to turn the vehicle off and restart the engine both times while praying it would start back up. I spent my first full day of vacation 3/15/23 waiting for a tow truck, going all the way back to the airport to get another vehicle and 1.5 hours on th... read more

Follow up to case: 54387538: AVIS is only partially correct. After 4 calls, I was informed a decision had not yet been made on the claim and it would be several weeks before charges would or wouldn’t be levied. The only time EZ Refill has been presented to me as an option is if I had to rent a car from the desk. AVIS Preferred is designed to bypass the desk. Maybe in the fine print but no where was I clearly made aware by AVIS or my booking agent that I would be charged or I had a choice. U4308758 26 under “Rental Options” –... read more

Avis Preferred. Almost weekly rental. Mostly BWI. Corporate contract. Three damage claims in a month for issues caused by prior customers or non-existent (smoking charge, I don’t smoke). Also, 25% of my rentals include the $15.99 fuel surcharge when I fill up less than 3 miles from airport. Avis expects me to walk back to the counter to fight the fuel charge I receive electronically while I’m on the shuttle to the airport. Avis is understaffed, under trained, and expect the customer to spend time fighting each claim. Called ... read more

I recently rented a car during a trip to Las Vegas at Avis rental **** ******** Street. The estimated expense for the rental was $444.00. I returned the vehicle after 6 days and requested a printed receipt but was told I would receive a E-receipt. When I received the E-receipt it was $1600.00 with obvious calculation error. When I contacted the local facility I was not able to speak with anyone and had to call the corporate office to get a live person. I think it is insane that due to a calculation error or intentional scam ... read more

March 3. 2023 —In anticipation for a flight delay out of Chicago en route to Salt Lake City due to a winter storm, I prepaid $386 for a SUV to await my arrival I’m SLC. I received a message from Avis Preferred that my white Toyota 4-Runner was waiting in the Avis garage in space A08. My flight was indeed delayed leaving Chicago (1.5hrs) and was also rerouted to Denver due to an on board medical emergency. We finally left Denver after midnight on March 5th and arrived in SLC at 2:00 am. I walked from the terminal to the Avis ... read more

Worst experience. I booked a Yukon size vehicle 6 months ago. Arriving at the airport Avis app could mot assign vehicle and directed me to Avis Preferred counter. The attendant was extremely rude, did not care a bit and forced a minivan on us promising to call once the correct vehicle arrives. The call never came. I tried to call but they divert all calls to central customer service where they gave me the worst scripted story and runaround. To be fair I was just completely duped by Avis. What a horrible company with the wors... read more

This is the second time I have had an issue with Avis’ bill at check out and the invoice that is billed. Customers should closely look at the two bills and invoice. A very bad practice!!

I rented a van in December,2022, for 3 days. After returning it, I received a letter saying that I returned the van dirty and was going to be charged $125 for washing and vacuuming fee. I called and complained so Avis said that they would refund half, $62.50. It is March 11th and I have not received my refund. I have called multiple times, received refund confirmation numbers, yet still no refund. AVIS IS NOT A TRUSTWORTHY COMPANY.
