Prepaid for a rental for our first family vacation and when we went to pick it up no one was at the counter and we had to call for someone. Gave license and credit card and he said my card would go through( called bank and that was not the truth) would not run another card for 24 hours. The $250 was the deposit for the rental insurance? Needless to say they would not cancel the reservation and restart a new one under my husbands name... said we would have to wait 24 hours. He was very rude, not professional what to sever and... read more

Dear Ms. ******** Thank you for your report to the BBB organization.

By way of explanation, although the rental is prepaid before a customers arrival per the terms and conditions disclosed within the reservation confirmation. An authorization hold $250.00 will be placed on the customers account to cover incidental charges such as: refueling or extending rental etc. We are s... read more

I rented a car with Avis last week and was given a Volkswagen UP 1.0 5P Eco which only held 10 liters of fuel as methane gas was intended to be used as the primary fuel source. I was given the car in Naples and we were unable to find ANY functioning methane gas stations in the entire south (we were told they are only available North of Milan). This meant that we had to stop for gas 4 times a day AND that because the gas stations are so spread out along the Italian highway we were unable to make it between stations at one poi... read more

We rented a car from Avis, told the agent we were moving from Montana to Georgia and the agent gave us the keys and told us we had unlimited milage. When we drop the car off st the scheduled time in Georgia, my account was drafted for over $4,500 because the agent had written for the return of the vehicle to be in Billings, Montana. This was after we specifically stated that we needed the rental in order to move to Georgia. Upon reporting this major inconvenience to Avis, they refused to work with us. Apparently, the Avis we... read more

I reserved a car from 7/22/2022 to 7/27/2022 on www.avis.com. Things changed, so I decided to return it on 7/24/2022. I called the customer service on 7/23/2022 and asked to modify the reservation. The representative told me the total charge is $260.35. He also told me that since I prepaid $825.62 on their website, the difference of $ 565.27 is non-refundable. I returned the car on 7/24/2022. I understand that they might reserved the car for me and a certain amount of penalty is reasonable. But I called one day in advance ... read more

I received a letter from AVIS dated 7/18/22 claiming that I was being charged $125.00 due to "excessive interior dirt-sand." When I complained, they sent me a report with photos. The photos do NOT show anything "excessive" as claimed in that letter. There was "no excessive dirt" noted in these photos, nor any "sand" as claimed in the report. In fact, AVIS's own report which allegedly supports this charge specifically uses the term "light" in reference to the alleged dirt. So its own report admits there was nothing excessive.... read more

Wow, I wish I read all these reviews before I rented/got robbed from Avis. This was my first & last experience. I reserved car at SeaTac Airport Avis. When I picked up the car, the agent asked if I would like insurance. I said no to the insurance. Once we were finishing the transaction, he had me sign what I was told was a rental agreement. He had me sign on the electronic signature pad. The pad was blank & he didn't show me anything on his computer screen. He had me sign 2 blank screens. He gave me a pamphlet and sent me on... read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. My husband and I rented a car From Avis for pick up on June 17th 2022 for 6 days. However when we went to pick up the rental car it was not available. We contact Avis and were told no locations have our rental available. However Avis offered to cover the difference for us to use a different rental car company. (this is their policy) So we did us another company. We were told by Avis we just needed to send the receipt and Avis will have a reimbursement to us within 48 hours. (All so... read more

I was overcharged hundreds of dollars for an Avis/Budget rental due to their deceptive business practices. Through a 3rd-party site, I rented a car from Avis/Budget for pickup in northern Germany for return a few weeks later in southern Germany. My voucher said I'd be paying at pickup, but when I picked up the car at the airport, I was told I wouldn't be paying for the rental until drop-off. I found that I didn't really need the car for the last few days (although I was remaining in the area for those days) so I returned the... read more
