Avis outrageous cancelation fee For the first time I paid for a vehicle upfront. Then had to cancel. Cancelled 19 days out from pick up, 3 days after paying. Out of a $296 hire charge Avis charged $82.50 cancellation fee. Now that is a disgusting practice.

Good experience with Avis at Oslo airport Despite some bad reviews, I'd rented an SUV in Avis at the Oslo airport and was completely satisfied. Nice car, good service, no lines, no hidden charges. Everything was great.

Avis doesn't try harder- they try hardly at all Avis doesn't try harder- they try hardly at all! Given a defective car in Miami airport with low tire pressure and leak right out of the airport- the tire alert went off and we had to make an appointment so figured I could deal with this after we arrived. Couldn't get anyone to help me on the phone, tried to replace the car at a local avis place and they literally laughed at me and told me I had to go back to Miami airport (45 min away). Put air in the tire on way to Key West and the tire continued to leak air and returned it a day early to avoid a flat. The car was supposed to have a Nav system (it did not) and satellite radio (it did but no channels subscribed so useless). So called to complain- what did they offer me? A free day (I returned the car a day early already) and would take off of the satellite radio (which I didn't get anyway). Would never rent from them again. If I could give 0 stars I would!

Three long hours in the middle of the… Three long hours in the middle of the night to get a car at JFK. Horrible, terribly slow and incompetent or intentionally bad treatment from one of the agents. When we finally reached our turn, the reservation has been a "no-show" (??!). After a vigorous discussion that they half-mouth confirm it was not our fault, but the only way to get a car is to pay again on the spot (we booked and prepaid for a car through a 3rd party). We were given a smaller car than the 7-seater we requested. We were supposed to receive a refund of the second payment in a few days, which has never happened. We were asked to speak to our agency and ask for a refund from them, though it was not the agency's fault. After a lot of back and forth we received partial refund of what we paid to Avis and were advised that they have event given us a "bonus". So, in a nutshell, they made us pay a second time to get a car and declined refunding the undue payment. Ridiculous, arrogant service! Avoid.

Avis Riga - stolen money Dirty car received from Avis, covering a small scratch UNDER the car. Returning the car, I had to pay 180 eur despite the obvious photos provided to them. Be aware of thiefs!
