When picking up the car, the fuel tank was not full. The display showed a range of 758 kilometers. When returning at the airport with a full tank, it showed a range of 800 kilometers. The car's exterior was not cleaned, and there was trash by the seat inside. The wipers did not clean the windshield properly. The steering wheel was too light, the brakes were too heavy, acceleration was slow, and the buttons inside the car were not user-friendly, making it feel like an airplane cockpit. The car's GPS failed to locate the current position all day, showing as being in Alaska, and there was never any response when calling the rental office at Calgary Airport. Despite having already bought the highest level of insurance on the rental platform, AVIS staff pressured me to buy additional insurance, warning that even a small scratch would cost 1000 CAD. This was by far my worst car rental experience ever!

Except for the front desk Indian guy who yelled at us and didn't handle our paperwork until after we had waited, and then he apologized, the rest of the service was quite good.

Encountered a friendly Black gentleman, quick and kind.

The staff were patient and meticulous, especially when returning the car, which was very efficient and convenient.

AVIS is excellent. Both my husband and I drove, and there were no extra charges. However, the previous rental company, ALAMO, charged CAD 10 per day for adding a second driver. At AVIS, the car model we booked was not available, but they found us a much newer 8-seater 6.0L GMC within an hour. It was much better than what we originally reserved, and they didn't charge extra. Very trustworthy!
