I had reserved a mini van for pick up 2:00 pm on July 4th dropping off at 2:00 pm on July 5th. I was not notified by call or email. I only found out that the reservation was moved to Kily 5th pick up at 7:00 am and drop off 11:00 pm via my calendar. I would never have booked that as my departure flight was at 3:05 pm. Very disappointed. Avis ctold me to contact Kayak and Kayak told me to contact Avis. Will not use Kayak to verify book another vehicle rental.

Full size truck at normal rental price. A+ Getting a speeding ticket for your Nevada vehicle having cali plates. F I was in lane 2 driving EXACTLY with traffic in a “construction zone” Nevada trying to get out of state revenue and I’m caught in the middle with your rental. 68mph in a 55 freeway. Ticket 3x rental cost. Local plates should be on your rentals for THIS reason. I don’t care about your tax or business

On Kayak I rented and paid for a premium Suv category they gave me a different category so I am not satisfied with the value of my money.I paid more for a lower category car. I would like to get a better explanation about this on your side.Please check and inform me. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Offered a smaller car at first. Had to wait 1+ hour to get the right car. Car was not clean when picked up. Avis intends to charge me for supposed damage to the car after the vehicle was dropped off at their preferred location.

The vehicle that was chosen online was not the vehicle they had available. The windshield wipers were dry rotted and the A/C didn’t cool not cool properly. Also I was able to book the reservation using my debit card, but was told a credit card had to be used upon arrival

Perhaps a quick run down of all the controls and options on this particular car would have been helpful. I struggled with figuring out how to use the cruise control etc.
