Pros:
The look, price and comfort of the carCons:
Never rented from this location and directions to the car were less than explained. Told if I get back early, the price was prorated but on return they told me "no" and asked me if I wanted to keep it for a few more hours--- uh no, and then I explained my pick up experience- they quickly gave me credit for 3 hours early return. Better drop off than pick up.9,6 Wonderful

Pros:
Absolutely nothing was good, everything was a nightmare.Cons:
Everything. The personal mocks the client with requirements get from nowhere, with abusive prices, and a bad service, and makes you waste time to find out better options. The worst car rental ever. Also, the employees were extremely racist with us, and they showed a clear bias due to our ethnicity, awful as hell. My travel were in Laredo, TX. Please, Avis, fire those employees, their service were awful, and there's no way Avis can change my opinion, I will never going to rent a car with you again.10,0 Wonderful
