GBBald 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.

GBI DO have reservations about Avis Ever wonder what the difference is between making a car rental reservation and just walking up to the Avis counter? At Avis, there apparently is NO difference. Avis can (and just did) call you up in mid-flight to tell you that when you land, you won't really have a rental car available. The agent took it to the next level by leaving me a phone number to return her call. The phone number was to Budget Car Rentals. Avis 3401 SW 11th St -Ste 10 Lawton, OK-73501 Long story short, Enterprise Car Rental was able to save the day yet again. I should have gone to Enterprise first but they weren't an option on the American Airlines reservations site.

GEGood 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.

ESThree 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.

GBDo 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.
