During my recent rental in Huntsville, AL I returned my rental car at 11:09 AM to the parking garage and parked in a spot marked AVIS returns. There was not an attendant in the garage, and when I approached the window in the garage, there was nobody present. There was a key drop box at the counter in the garage, with a note to place the keys in the box. I dropped the keys in the box, and when I received my e-receipt I see that AVIS has charged me an additional day. I called the AVIS help line, and was told that since I did n... read more

I had the worst rental experience ever with that company. Had an agreement for six months and their s. Louise Missouri branch ended up sending a towing car to steal the car from my driveway, where I live, six hours away in a different state. Never gave a call to alert that they have an issue with the car. The towing guy just showed up like a thief at night time, towed the car away with all of my personal belongings inside and started acting like crazy as we were trying to approach and figure out what was going on. Made a sce... read more

Website shows a base price when selecting your rental car. When a discount code is applied the price increases in the total amount owed, making the consumer think there getting discounted price when in actuality they are not. Very misleading to the consumer, thank the lord I caught the deception. Be careful of this company, they are very misleading and if your not careful you will be on the hook and lose your hard earned money. I canceled my reservation, but still have to wait 5 -10 days to get my money back..

I filed a fraud complaint with the FTC against the Avis location at the Atlanta airport. Why? A counter rep surreptitiously added hundreds of dollars in extras to my rental in retaliation for my telling her she was rude When I was trying to pick up the vehicle, she was engaged in a lengthy conversation with another employee. I told her politely, "I'm in a hurry, could I please just get this going?" That didn't sit well with her--she snapped at me through much of the rental process. At the end I told her she was rude.

I returned my vehicle with refueling full tank. The gas station was 3 miles away. I heard hat this issue happens with minor Auto rental company. I asked the agent in Memphis airport to check out to avoid any issue but she was gone with saying you will get the receipt via email. I now was charged 70 dollars of refueling charge. That's fine because i have a receipt. But have to tell Avis, done be evil.

I rented from Kalispell MT. They told me the car was inspected and there are no issues at all. I went outside and found a 3 foot scratch on one door and a dent on the other. I went back in and there was a huge line. I told them the car hadn't been inspected and the lady said go ahead I'll make a note. Two weeks after returning the car I got a notice that there was a small chip on the lower part of the windshield. I'm tall so i wouldn't even see it. They charged me $1200 for the windshield. If you are thinking about renting f... read more

The company gave us a damaged car and no one was at the desk when we went back. We took pictures but it was the middle of the night. We let them know about the damage. They just said okay. 4 months later we got the bill. They would not look at the pictures. They would not even talk about it. They said we should have filled out some paperwork. We did not know about the paperwork. They sent it to a collection agency a few days after they notified us of the situation

Charged me an underage fee for being 24 even though on the site that fee never showed up when completing the reservation even after confirming that i am underage. Wouldn't come to an agreement with me and wouldn't take off the underage fee even though it isn't even on the reservation.
