The car itself was clean, comfortable, and ready to go by the time I picked it up. However, I had some issues with the payment process. They required a physical credit card, which I understand, but I only had my credit card digitally available. Unfortunately, they did not offer another option, such as paying online at the counter, so I was almost left without a car. If you’re travelling, make sure you bring a physical credit card or pay in advance through the website to avoid being stuck without a rental. As for the protection plan, it was significantly cheaper through a third-party booking site. Avis charged around $48 per day when purchasing the protection at the counter, whereas through the third-party website, it was only $44 for the entire rental and was added to the total upfront rather than charged per day. Overall, the car and pickup were good, but I would strongly recommend reviewing the payment requirements and protection options carefully before arriving at the counter.

I was extremely disappointed with Avis. I had already selected and paid for my rental from NC. When I got there, they wouldn't give me the car without a credit card. I have rented many cars and always used my debit card, no problem. I was stranded at the airport after flying across the country. They didn't care. No sympathy. I was told that if I bring it back to the same airport I didn't need a debit card nor deposit. The lady refused.
