Was not made aware of additional charges when picking up or dropping car off. Definitely bad business to charge new customers without making them aware of mis leading charges. Called corporate customer service and got nowhere. Just kept giving me the run around! This by far is the worst rental company and should not be allowed to be in business!! Trust me, take your business elsewhere unless you like having/dealing with unauthorized charges.

Worst experience ever with a rental company! I had my trip planned , I always rent my vehicles through ********** so going with another company made me nervous. I had feeling something was going to go wrong. I called before my trip to make sure I could rent with my debit, as I did read on their website. I was advised by the lady that they did take debits but it's best to use a credit card and less deposit hold, I said I was concerned about the amount of the security hold, I don't have a credit card and want to make sure I do... read more

1. Customer service is non-existent. I made a profile and it wouldn't let me update my credit card number and asked me to call the customer service. No number was provided. I searched on Google and called them. I had to hop and call 2 different numbers after talking to these people. Then at the end, the rep said some other profile had this credit card and he cannot help it. After wasting half a day, they did not give me a solution. 2. They say the car is cleaned. That too making wide sweeping claims during covid. When I pick... read more

I will never be using Avis again as we have had the worst experience with this company. And after reading their Facebook page I see I am one of many that they have tried to scam. I made reservations online and was supposed to be charged $450. When we picked up the car I was told it would cost $750 because an Avis employee changed my corporate code when I called to have the dates of my reservation adjusted. The car was filthy and smelled terribly of fresh cigarette smoke. I called customer service and after being on hold for ... read more

Rented a car from the Des Moines Airport location for government travel purposes. I returned the rental car with a full tank of gas and I was charged $139.86 to my government charge card for fuel service. I contacted the location to dispute the charge and the employee said they would look into it and get back to me. I still have not received a call from them and they won't answer. I called the general Avis customer service number in which they said if I provide a gas receipt they will refund the charge. So, Avis will fraudul... read more

I am EXTREMELY unhappy with Avis! We rented a car at MCO 5/18-5/25 and after returning home I viewed the E-Receipt only to find out they charged us for fuel. We FILLED the tank before returning and they said it was near empty. We actually took a photo AT the airport drop off of the mileage and showing the gas gauge. I sent the photo to customer service and they said its not enough proof!! It has the SAME MILAGE as on the receipt!! How is that not enough proof?! They ripped us off by $233 and that's NOT OKAY!

I reserved and prepaid a full-size car rental from the Denver Airport. The agent offered me discounted upgrade to an SUV. I declined and said I don't need an SUV and don't enjoy driving them. When I went to the lot, I saw they had assigned me a large Kia SUV. I'd already waited in line for over an hour, so I just took it and drove away. I understand some families have a need for this type of vehicle but it drove like a school bus. On returning the car, I filled up the tank until the pump clicked off. The gauge read full. ... read more

Beware of using Budget/Avis when renting a car with a debit card. Although their website claims you can, it's false advertising and they will hold your money for 5-10 business days and charge you a cancellation fee.

Worst company ever to rent a car from. This place should be shut down. Too many excuses to hold your money up. Do not use a debit card unless you want to go weeks without your money.
