Customer service rep had a bit of an attitude! I didn’t feel he was customer driven!

Fuel was at 3/4 when we picked it up. There was only one agent checking people in so it took forever and he didn’t do a very good job explaining where and how to return the vehicle. We had to do a chat while we drove around the parking garage

There was no attendant at the counter at 4:00pm for my car drop off. I had to leave the keys in the overnight box with a note regarding mileage and drop off gas level…. I thought it was strange but the young lady I pick up the vehicle with was excellent! Very helpful & courteous.

Location is not correct - took a long time to even find this location. They said didn’t have our reservation - we had to play phone tag with the support line and on-site agent for hours before they finally got us a car. Then they downgraded our car after we already paid and signed the contracts.

I was unable to pickup my vehicle. Avis stated that vehicle was at a different location but my reservation was the correct one in my email. Avis would not honor the reservation I made with you. I tried contacting Kayak and I was unable to contact or get a hold of anyone to correct your mistake. I had to rent another vehicle with budget and it delayed my whole trip and added expenses I hadn’t planned for. I will not be using your company again.

Difficult to find pickup and dropoff areas. Unclear instructions on the dropoff location and it took way longer than required.

I did't get a car from the category i asked on the internet reservation. I had booked a 'ford escape or similar intermediate SUV" (i have a screen capture of my original booking) and I got a Jeep Grand cherokee. That was 50 cad per day more expensive. I was threatened by the agent to cancel the reservation altogether if I continued questioning it. In brief, this interaction felt disrespectful and manipulative. The car in itself was correct and allowed me to fulfill my plans. I did my part, gave it back intact, cleaned and tank filled. But in the end, i paid way more than expected and booked.

When I arrived to pick up the car, they said they didn't have my car and that I booked it at the wrong airport. When I insisted that they look into it further, they refused. This cost me $30 in international calls to resolve as well as $30 in Uber charges. I would like to be reimbursed.
