Total scam is Avis / Budget Total scam is Avis / Budget. Rented a car for 106Euro. Had to pay 179Euro extra for ‘something i signed for’. A windshield protection. They mislead you in signing a vague contract and threaten you with large 3.500 Euro fines for a tiny scratch. DO NOT RENT HERE EVER. This happened at Malaga airport.

Thought I would try Avis at the Salt… Thought I would try Avis at the Salt Lake City airport, worse wait ever, only 2 staff working, 30 waiting in line and no movement.

Bald tires on THOUSAND mile plus family trip BEWARE. Rented a Lexus FROM AVIS. Upon return, shown that TIRES were BALD. Wonderful agent concerned that I was given car in bad condition. Informed me he could not rent this car again until tires replaced. I was SHOCKED and SCARED that I put my FAMILY AT RISK on an over THOUSAND MILE roadtrip to Orlando, FL. When I informed AVIS, they,replied,"Sorry, we took a days rental off." $44?! So, if my family were involved in a catastrophic accident due to bald tires would it have been 3 days deducted?! Oh! Then when car was EXCHANGED not returned, I was levied a $90 gas charge though tank was NOT empty and I'd asked the agent BEFORE exchanging. She replied that it was not a problem. WORSE CAR RENTAL EXPERIENCE. Thank GOD my family was not harmed. Be warned. I certainly was. STAY AWAY FROM AVIS. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE WORTH MORE THAN $44.

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!

Do not waste your time on this company. Do not waste your time on this company. I prepaid for a rental in Seattle to be picked up at the cruise port, was on the phone pre trip for 45 minutes with a lady that double checked to make sure we would be picked up. When our ship arrived I called the Number to be told they didn't pick up at the port and we would have to take a cab to there location to receive the car. So no I am not paying 50 dollars for a cab to get the car when I can pay 50 to the hotel and use free shuttle. Now having a hard time getting my money refunded they broke the contract not me I have emails stating they will pick up at the port. Do not use this company they do not tell the truth and cost way more money than you think.
