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.

Avis making illegal charges to your credit card I have been Avis customer for many years, since 2007, every time that i rent a car i used to thought in Avis, My mindset changed last week when i got a letter from Avis asking for USD 400+ due to Smoke Smell. I rent this car to drive around Texas, i visited some friends in Houston, San Antonio and South Texas, i drove the car all the time, and all the time i was with my wife and two teenager girls. I felt rip with this charge to my credit card, i called and explain that i never smoke and i was all the time with my family, that is impossible that the car smoke smell, but the customer service insist that they found cigarettes on the car. Im really disappointed, i believe that Avis did not clean the car well before handover to me otherwise their service contractor is not saying the true and trying to get money illegally and somebody in AVIS is taking advantage of this situation. I asked to talk to a manager but they asked me to wait for the call. a day later i got a letter saying they will charge to my credit card. I will report it to my account manager, i work for international company, i will make sure that they know about this incident, this is very embarrassing, Happily I will share this with my friends to make sure Avis dont steal their money like they illegally did with me, this is a shame. I hope AVIS investigate what is going on with their crappy service,

Avis Savannah. Nightmare Avis Savannah 4/3/24. Reserved car…50+ people in line…NO cars line not moving Spent $320.00 on metered taxi to get to a meeting 11/2 hours away. All customer service after much time spent offered a coupon or $50. Not acceptable

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!

Lost and Stolen, Avis Does not TRY at all On 22 March,2024 I returned a truck that I rented from Miami Airport the week before and exchanged it for a car at Palm Beach international airport, Unknowingly, I left a Ryobi pressure cleaner in the backseat and when I realized this later I filed a lost item report, # 19206369. Over the next week and a half checked with the lost and found at Avis but it never showed up. I checked for two weeks. I called a few times no call would ever go through. On April 4th I drove to the Avis at Palm Beach County airport to speak directly to someone at the counter to see what happened. They had no information. They told me my item was never logged in to lost and found in Avis. Frustrated I spoke to one of the customer service reps, Frank, that accepts cars and removes anything that that might've been left in the car. Frank clearly remembered the truck because it stayed in the same place for a couple of days where I parked it. He remembered seeing the pressure cleaner in it and he had no idea what happened to it, but he remembered clearly that it was in there. He thought maybe somebody had taken the truck home and somebody had taken the pressure cleaner and not turned it in. This constitutes theft. I've spent a lot of time every day checking to see if it's showing up and lost and found, calling and then having to drive all the way up to the airport all because somebody didn't do the job that they were required to do and were stealing my personal possessions. I have since filed a police report on this theft and gave a copy of this to Avis and they have done NOTHING to Try Harder to make things right
