It was a very smooth process.

Tue experience with Avis went well, but priceline forgot to mention the charge for a different ciity drop off. The price waz 5 times more expensive thannwhat was mentioned in my contract. That was very unfair and shocking. This is the last time I book through priceline.

Car given to me was new but mechanically failed within a few hundreds of km driving. Don’t fault Avis though. But number they gave me to call for help did not respond for an entire day, and only upon me calling back repeatedly and having the original desk call back on my behalf for it to be towed and replaced (which involved me going back to closest airport to pick up another car). No refund offered, at least not yet.

The staff was super helpful and I was on my way in 5 minutes. A lovely experience.

When picking up the vehicle, the line moved incredibly slowly. The gentleman was great and took care of four guests in the time the two other ladies were still with the same customer. The car was of lower class and category than I booked. Although it was clean and new, the driving quality was poor.

I paid for a complete package including insurance, additional driver, and clean fee from Avis. However when I went to pick up the car I was told that I would have to pay again since the company who actually rented the car to us was not Avis but worked with Avis. That was very confusing to me.

The customer service was very good but the car had a smoky smell that was worse when it sat for a long time I don’t smoke so this was not a good experience for me.

I signed up for a $71 charge -- but my final credit card is showing $91. I can't find anywhere how to see what I was charged extra for. Not happy.
