Jun 2020
Pros:
I wasn’t even able to rent the car. I reserved it online with an Apple credit card. When I was dropped off at the airport to pick up the car with the SAME CC I used to reserve it I was told I couldn’t rent it because they don’t take that CC. I had no ride home, no other CC’s. I was forced to use a different rental company that was more than twice the price. And the guy was a jerk about it to boot.Cons:
Update your systems to take CC that online allows. It was a terrible inconvenience and put me in a financial bind considering I have to pay almost $400 more for a rental. I’m beyond disappointed.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
The person Sarah who I encountered at Alamo was rude and refused my reservation!! The reason given was that the reservation was made within 24 hrs and it was not! There was no options given to us by her not until we contacted the 800 number and asked for a supervisor we got our reservation! Also we had booked for 3 days and set the return of the vehicle to 12 midnight and Sarah change it 948am! Extremely dissatisfied with AlamoCons:

The representative on the return if the automobile was rude, condescending and telling us that we were lying. We were told by the representative while renting that we could return an hour late and we made sure we asked that again to avoid late fees or at worse paying for another day. The cars AC did not function and we given an invoice to pay for another extra day. Worst customer service I have experienced.Fox

Pros:

I was price gouged by the counter staff because my reservation had “expired” and they charged me the walk-in rate which included full insurance. Kayak didn’t give me an option to put in a time to pick up the car so it defaulted to noon, and their policy is that reservations “expire” after 3 hours. Their customer service was atrocious and if given the choice I will never rent a cat from them again.2,0 Poor

Apr 2021
Pros:
The manager at the chino hills location for Avis was a big help. Otherwise the service was horrible and I will never use Avis again. I will use them as an example of bait and switch.Cons:
Almost everything. Avis is horrible. Thanks to Kayak for providing a good option. I would not take the insurance again as it does not cover the entire replacement cost of the vehicle. Lesson learned to take your insirance option. Slick marketing though.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was friendly when they told me I could not pick up the rental because according to them the bank I have used for the last 5 years is not a "real bank" to them. Then I tried to add my second driver which I was told was free on the website and they wouldn't let me do that. So I never received my rental car.Cons:
Communicate that Chime bank cards are Not accepted so then I know to have a second driver registered who has another bank card.Payless

Cons:
I had asked for a midsize sedan and they said none were available and gave me an SUV. When I got to the lot there were several sedans out there and people coming out after me were getting in them. Also the gentleman took note of my car number and said he would bring the car up. Which he did not do. After standing in the sun for some time I had to ask another attendant and then walk to the corner of the lot to get the car. They did not have a record of me renting through Kayak and had to call over the supervisor to change the pricing which took up time. JoannaAvis

Pros:

Everything else. Dirty car, inside and out. Including dents & scratches. When I have rented with Enterprise, they won’t rent out cars with damage larger than a golf ball size.

Jul 2020
Pros:
The rental price was very reasonable.Cons:
Through KAYAK I was quoted "Unlimited Miles," however when I arrived to pick up the van, I was told that there was a 375 mi/day limit and that I would be charged $.45 for every additional mile. Apparently, there is a discrepancy between what KAYAK quotes and what AVR quotes - and the customer is responsible for uncovering that discrepancy. The address that I was given by KAYAK to pick-up the vehicle was incorrect... closed due to COVID-19. Luckily, there was someone at that closed location who was able to direct me to the proper address (which was only 2 miles away). The van was clean... sort of. There was a noticeable amount of sand in the carpets from the previous users who, most likely, went to the beach. In light of COVID-19, I was told that all the surfaces were sprayed with Lysol.2,8 Poor
Jun 2020
Cons:
The first van I picked up failed to start after I brought home and packed the van with my luggage. It took me about 30 minutes to reach someone to report the issue. I had to drive back to the location and exchanged out for another van. The overall experience was a bit frustrating.2,0 Poor
Jun 2020
Pros:
Horrible experience will never use AVR.Cons:
For starters, I made a reservation and the office was never open. I waited 2 hours and called the number and no one ever answered or anything. Not even an apology or anything. I had to go to another agency and had to pay more because it was a same day reservation. So upset. Never using Kayak again either.2,0 Poor
Jun 2020
Pros:
When we went to pick up our van, no one was on property. My husband called the number provided. When a lady answered she stated they had no vans available and all reservations had been cancelled. She stated everyone was contacted the day before. I can assure you NOONE from any company contacted us to cancel our reservation. This was for our daughters ‘drive thru’ graduation so we could take our family to see her graduate. This company ruined that experience for her and our family. We spent the entire morning scrambling to find another van, ending up spending 400x the money. Our attorney is contacting this company. What a horrible experience. I would NEVER recommend such an unscrupulous business!Cons:
The business should have honored their reservations. The corporate office should answer their phones and emails. I’ve yet to receive a response from their corporate office as to an explanation. Do Not Trust this rental company. We were not the only customer standing there.2,0 Poor
Jun 2020
Pros:
Absolutely nothing.Cons:
This place was shuttered and in the ghetto and did not answer our many calls previous to and during our pick-up time. It is literally a shell of a rental company and a scam. We were left high and dry on a van rental for a family vacation and had to scramble to figure something else out for ourselves after we spent much time driving out to them and trying to get them to respond. Disappointed and angry!10,0 Wonderful
