Lengthy wait was bothersome. Car assigned had someone already in it, when we approached it, and we had to change at car storage area to a less desirable car.

not the car I requested. They gave a smaller car to me.

2,0 Poor
We waited in line at the service desk over an hour to pick up our car. Once we went out to the parking lot, and attendant had already given the car assigned to us to someone else so we had to wait for another car. When we went to leave out of the Avis parking lot, there was a problem with one of the exit lines so we had to merge with the one that was working which took even more time.

first car was fine. somewhat well used but good on gas. after a week or so there was somesort of "fire" under the passenger seat, maybe some wire burned. it was very fast and we saw some smoke and smelled something burning. It was gone about as fast as it happened. Got a replacement car. Lady said it was new 2025 and was an upgrade. Kia telluride. It was nicer and better other than used more gas. That was our only issue. Everything else was good

Absolutely appalling customer service. Understaffed, 40 minutes to get to counter/agent, and once there, very rude, aggressive and not welcome attempts to upselll everything from unneeded insurance to vehicle type and when not accepted, the agent became surely and clearly 'punished' me with a very small car after I rented a midsize. I will never rent again with Avis.

2,0 Poor
Staff was rude , very rude , I guess their work culture is bad . Not one time, every time I had to experience. They overcharged me. I returned car earlier , they still overcharged, i requested to fix it , staff said it’s not their job , I will need to call 1-800 number, Interestingly, in similar situation I had with Alamo, Alamo staff fixed it right way .
