The car was decent

I was price gouged by the counter staff because my reservation had “expired” and they charged me the walk-in rate which included full insurance. Kayak didn’t give me an option to put in a time to pick up the car so it defaulted to noon, and their policy is that reservations “expire” after 3 hours. Their customer service was atrocious and if given the choice I will never rent a cat from them again.

I would of liked the car to already been cleaned and washed when we got there. We did confirm 2 times we were on our way to pick it up. We had to ask if they could please wash and clean it . Gentleman said he was SORRY IT DIDNT MEET OUR EXPECTATIONS…but that’s what all customers want not just me .. to get a clean rental …Other than that it was great!

I made an arrangement to rent an 8 passenger premium SUV at the branch but was very disappointed to find out that the car wasn’t available when I got there. However, Jeff at the branch went above and beyond to help me out and found a car for me. Our family had a great time and it was all because of Jeff’s dedication.

Customer Service Agent Roy at the Ontario Airport Location is the most disrespectful, unprofessional, arrogant representative I've ever experienced. He shouldn't be in customer service at all. A very bad representation to the company. It's time for him to retire ASAP. I will NEVER rent at Avis due to his unprofessionalism. However, I do want to show some love to Customer Service Agent Gabby "budget" who was able to assist me with my reservation in a much professional manner

Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I was slightly hesitant to use Dollar based on other reviews, but it was great. Check-in was through the Hertz counter but there were only a couple people in line. Drop off only took about 2 minutes and that was because I told them about a small problem with the car (warning light).

The manager at the chino hills location for Avis ‏was a big help. Otherwise the service was horrible and I will never use Avis again. I will use them as an example of bait and switch.

Almost everything. Avis is horrible. Thanks to Kayak for providing a good option. I would not take the insurance again as it does not ‏cover the entire replacement cost of the vehicle. Lesson learned to take your insirance option. Slick marketing though.
