Mr., Mar 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was friendly and quick to assist.

Cons:

The car was not cleaned or washed yet when I picked it. We waited for the car to be cleaned and washed. The wait was okay, but the cleaning process was rushed and not very thorough. Car windows still had water. I could still see some dirty marks on the exterior.

Pros:

It was okay

Cons:

They need actual wash the cars right & not just rinse them down fast, no vacuuming in the inside. I found trash that was left behind from the people who rented it before I did & oil life was low didn’t even bother checking it.

Pros:

I was given the car I requested after I called them prior to the pick-up date. And once I was checked in, the car came quickly, and I was out of the lot quickly.

Cons:

It took some time to check me in. Everyone was buzzing around, and there was only one person checking in customers.

This AVIS location is a joke. I had an 8AM appointment because I was leaving on vacation early and there was nobody in the office when I arrived! I waited 15 minutes and nobody showed up! I had to book a last minute rental through Hertz because this independently owned AVIS location is a joke. Good luck if you end up being sent here by Kayak.
