The check-in service was fine. The Volkswagen Atlas I rented was not. It is impossible to sleep in the front passenger seat. The computer that runs the car is complicated with many options hidden within menus. It is dangerous to operate while driving. Avis's roadside assistance is a complete joke and absolutely unhelpful. Be prepared to do everything yourself if you have a problem.
