What Worked: Competitive pricing — thanks to Kayak. What Didn’t: Vehicle cleanliness was unacceptable. The car clearly showed traces of pet hair, odor, and dust — evidence of insufficient interior cleaning between rentals. Front desk professionalism needs serious attention. Being greeted with “What’s up?” by an untrained employee attempting to impress peers is not the standard expected from an international brand. This isn’t a local mom-and-pop business — staff should be trained to represent the Avis name with professionalism and respect. The return agent, however, demonstrated excellent customer service — courteous, efficient, and customer-focused. Maintenance: Within days of pickup, an oil change/service notification appeared on the dashboard. Vehicles should not be released without completing scheduled maintenance. Regular oil changes and inspections are basic customer assurance measures that prevent dissatisfaction and potential liability. Final Note: Kayak — excellent as always. Avis — you can and should do better. Train your staff, clean your vehicles properly, and maintain your fleet before renting. Your global reputation depends on it.
