I reserved the car the night before. The website indicated that I had a reservation, but when I got to the Avis office the next morning, no cars were available.

I reserved a full sized car and was given a giant raised truck. They said this was the only option. So for my 500 mile trip I had to drive something that gave 12 miles to the gallon. What's the point of a reservation if it's not reserved...
