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.

Unexpected charges without my consent! My recent experience with Avis at the Orlando International Airport was disappointing and frustrating. Upon arrival to pick up my rental car, I was confronted with unexpected extra charges that were not clearly explained by the Avis representative. After informing the Avis representative that they charged me more than my agreement with booking.com he acknowledged that I was being charged more than the agreed-upon amount. He stated that he was unable to adjust the charges in the system and suggested that I return when a manager was available to address the issue. Given our early departure on April 30th, I asked about the availability of a manager at 4 am, to which I was informed that the manager won’t be present at that time. Instead, I was advised to contact Avis via email. So unfortunately, i trusted him and went ahead and signed the contract not knowing what the extra charges were for. Notably, at no point during our interaction did he mention any insurance options or asked if I wanted additional coverage. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue with via email, my request for a refund for the excess charges was denied by Avis, citing that I had signed the contract that included insurances (which I already had paid for through Booking.com and they know it!) This experience has left me deeply dissatisfied with Avis and their lack of communication and transparency. As a result, they have lost a client, and I will be seeking alternative rental options in the future.

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!

Avis Riga - stolen money Dirty car received from Avis, covering a small scratch UNDER the car. Returning the car, I had to pay 180 eur despite the obvious photos provided to them. Be aware of thiefs!

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.
