8,0 Very Good
The car rental office is too high, making it inconvenient for elderly people to carry luggage back and forth.
B
6,0 Okay
Had to wait 45 mins for preferred service - customer service at pickup was not ok. Problem was fixed but took WAY too long for preferred.
S
8,0 Very Good
Easy to find the pick up point and to drop off. But insurance is quite expensive.
C
4,0 Mediocre
Had to wait on a line for 90 minutes at RSW to get the car.
J
2,0 Poor
One of my worst experience in car rental History.. Booked the car ahead of time. Showed up to pick up the car. No car available.. The agent promised to call as soon as a car is available. 4.5 days passed still waiting for the call..

DISASTROUS. I failed to notice that the “daily rate” for 3 days is different than 2 days. Using a rental voucher from a discount rental site, all seemed great - good rate of $40 per day. ($216.32) UNTIL I returned the vehicle. I made an egregious error in returning the vehicle (to make it easier on family picking me up)…5 hours 41 minutes TOO early. (Midnight) In fact, if I had waited 4 hrs 41 min. to drop off the key once the office closed at 11pm in Pensacola, I would not have been subject to the criminal fine of QUADRUPLING the daily rate to $174.99 per day! Upon seeing the totals charges of $652.25 (minus my original voucher of $216.32) I spent 30 min on the phone with the rental site & later 30 min with an Avis customer service agent, They graciously 🙄 refunded 1/2 the up charge resulting in me only having to pay … nearly DOUBLE my original voucher cost,.. a TOTAL of $403.95. Quite a penalty for returning my car 5-6 hours early! My oversight? Yes. Will I do business with Avis again? No way.

The only issue is how long it takes to get the car. Lines are long.

10,0 Wonderful
It is a tiny airport so didn't expect much but a gravel parking lot with no directions as to how to get out and lots of potholes was pretty disappointing. Had to drive around it twice to even find the way out. Otherwise friendly agent and easy check out. Same with check in. Rented trough an unknown website and only found out it was Avis by carefully looking at the fine print.
