AUAvis 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.

NLTotal 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.

GBLost 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

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.

GBAVIS 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!
