I reserved a van rental from Avis in June 2022. When I arrived to pick up my rental the location said the didn't have the vehicle. They tried to send me to an airport 2 1/2 hours in which I obviously said no. Avis said that if I went to a different company they would reimburse me the difference. I have been in touch with customer service multiple times about the reimbursement. They claim it will be 48 hours - 5 to 7 business days. Each time I call them it is a different response. As of June 20,2022 they have yet to refund me... read more

We rented from Avis from 06/19-06/25 at the John Glen airport. We had to change cars three times because the oil light kept coming on. After checking credit card statement, we were charged a toll charge of 55.00 for a place we did not go. They also charged us for 239.86 gas and insurance which the gas tank was full when we return the vehicle and paid for the insurance at the counter. Did not receive deposit back, was told they used the deposit to pay for insurance. We will never rent from them again.

We reserved a Ford Expedition 3 months ago. Car was to be picked up at noon. Arrived at Bethel Road, Columbus, OH location and was told the car was at the airport lot and would be driven over in 1-1 1/2 hours and we would be called when ready. No call came.

I had rented a car from 7/7 to 7/16 at Avis for my son's tennis tournament. I gotten a quota for $514 plus tax becoming an overall cost of $714 on 6/22. On 7/7, when we arrived to pick up the car, the worker didn't give me the order I had requested online. He then proceeded to convince me the given car was better than the one I had ordered. With three hours to drive left to the hotel after a plane ride and no other option I just accepted the offer. However, when I first got into the car, i noticed the chair had grease marks... read more

I reserved a vehicle around 10:30 am to be picked up at noon. I prepaid $330.00 for the rental and I received a call around 11:00, staying they didn't have any vehicles available. There was no apology and nothing stating that my money would be released back to my card. I call the rental company to get a customer service number and was given the run-a-round. The agent I spoke to told to redial the 800 number and ask for customer again. I finally reached another agent to be told it would take 3 to 5 days to get a refund. My bi... read more

Questionable. Dishonest. Shady. Fraudulent. That's AVISï��® in 2022! I was traveling to the Atlanta area on business in June. Two weeks ahead, I rented an AVIS car through ********* and paid in advance. When I tried to pick up the car, on schedule at ATL, I was told I'd have to wait "at least 40 minutes" for the car I'd prepaid for, or I could upgrade at my expense. With darkness looming and a 90-minute drive still ahead, I took the upgrade. I returned the vehicle less than 48 hours later, with a full tank of gas. The re... read more
