It takes too long at the counter in spite of being a member. Also, truck died on me which was not a great situation. Having access to an Uber was great though

It was not an airport pickup, and that was not clear when making the rental. Had to take a taxi to the pickup spot off-site. Was also downgraded without compensation from a Tesla to a regular gas sedan.

The security deposit is pretty high (around $2000), and they accept ONLY a physical credit card. I didn't have my main credit card physically, so I had to buy a protection plan to lower the security deposit. The protection plans are so overpriced—I paid over $400 for PARTIAL protection of a standard car for a week—it was over x2 of the rent price. I can't imagine what the price would be for a higher-class car. The good part: the cashier was pretty friendly and helpful; luckily, I hadn't any issues with the checkout and no additional charges (well, I still paid quite a lot for a kinda useless protection plan, so if you opt-out, I guess they might try to find some issue—make detailed photos and videos before and after you use the car).

The location was billed as Palm Springs downtown,but it’s it. It’s in a light industrial area on other side of airport. It’s further from downtown than the airport with no shuttle. And an extra $20 at least to uber to it and back to airport. Car we ordered was not available.

Avis made me miss my flight because they only had 1 person checking in cars that returned and that took 20 minutes… made me spend $800 extra

Didn’t like how I had to sign the paperwork without knowing what price it would be

Not happy with staff in Windsor claiming there was a mark on the return rental. When it was picked up in Mississauga the receipt showed no marks, I drove the car for 3 and half hours to Windsor and never left the car. So how can they claim there was a mark on the car!

The staff was excellent to work with. We will definitely work with them again.

Terrible They indicated that the auto insurance policy that I purchased thru your associated company would not be recognized by Avis and therefore I needed to purchase another policy. I believe my $54 purchase should be refunded. I paid another $72 to Avis.
