Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff especially at pick up but also at drop-off. Upgraded the car without any difficulty and were very glad to have a larger car (Camry) for a long trip. Plenty of trunk room-fit two large suitcases and a smaller one as well as a couple of backpacks.

Cons:

I was originally told I could be picked up as long as the pick up point was within 2 miles of the rental place (Fullerton) so I arranged to be picked up but the morning of the pickup when I called to change the pick up time, they had no record of agreeing to pick me up at all!

Pros:

The staff did not notify me that they had no cars eventhough Kayak.com allowed me to book online. But, i was notified 2 hours before I was suppose to pickup the car to drive to my flight.

Cons:

Kayak and Budget need to figure out the rental inventory before allowing customers to book. And the system should also allow ample time for the potential customer to resolve the inventory booking error.

I really loved the professionalism of the desks person at this location, he was super friendly, professional and fast on the process. The car was ok but I was a bit nervous because the first day I drove the car the check engine light pop up and was asking for service I thought it won’t make it to my Northern California trip but somehow it did make it back without any other issues.

Free upgrade bfor my honeymoon. Informative and helpful customer service reps. Pretty good value for the money.

Cons:

The vehicle we used was a jeep grand cherocke, we drove the car a little more than 1000 miles. So a car with better gas milage would havr been nice. But i think the jerp we used averaged apptoximately 21.5 mpg, so i cant complain too much.

Incorrect pickup and drop off time on paper-work for a one-way rental. Vehicle was not clean. Two seats were missing from the vehicle. This is such an insult to a paying customer with reservation. Will no longer rent from Avis if the issue/s on drop off time isn't remedied.
