Booked a car online Booked a car online, advertised free cancellation. First it advertises 792 USD for the car, on top of which come fees not advertised. With all insurances it costs 1449 that was directly charged to my credit card. I had to call AVIS as regardless of having cancelled it online my credit card was charged 1449 USD, not just pending. Then I called and learnt that either I would pay online at a lower price or pay upon pickup about 150 more and then it would be a free cancellation. However regardless of my choice on the homepage it said free cancellation. On the phone then I learnt that cancellation costs 50 USD. I asked for money back, for cancellation to be waived and overall can only say that renting a car overall is like getting into a racket these days. The fine print is at ≤6pt in size and goes directly against what is printed in bolt at 24pt, like the cancellation fee. Why would someone advertise a price that with insurance and fees is just half of what the actual price is in the end? I would never book a car from AVIS again. The entire homepage is littered with asterisks, because with nearly everything being advertised it is limited to whatever. Make up your mind, AVIS, you are professionally dishonest and that's really all you would get a five star rating for.

AVIS Station Manager Retaliation on Customer Station Manager in Marquette MI mad she had to help me on Easter Sunday - retaliated against me by disregarding her original agreement and charged me $700 to drop off the vehicle I had to swap out the first malfunctioning vehicle for! I had to go back and exchange the disabled vehicle because of a bad tire and crash codes! She sent me out to an empty spot and as she and her family were driving away they flipped me off!! I called Avis, and went through several steps to resolve the charge and now, a month later…still no response. GOODBYE AVIS…BEWARE if you rent from them!

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!

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.

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.
