Good 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.

Three 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.

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!

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.

Beware of Avis scam These are dishonest people. On way to a funeral not far from East Midlands England and pre-hired a car only for named driver to miss flight. So I ask for another car, got quote and signed based on quote. Got billed and double the quoted charge (witness in office when quoted). Queried with Avis and basically said you didn't understand the charge. The double cost stands. So beware when dealing with these Avis car hire - no empathy only greed.
