The staff from AVIS was rude when I rented the car. My contract included a GPS, but they didn’t provide it proactively. They also gave me a car with some minor issues. Thankfully, as an experienced renter, I could handle it. However, newcomers might not receive good service.

The lady at the pickup service was very nice and even upgraded our car for free (mainly because the original car would take time to be ready, and she was kind enough not to make us wait too long). Initially, there was an attempt to sell us insurance, but when we said no, they did not push further.

The counter staff was very friendly. When I picked up the car and had questions, the on-site staff came to help immediately.

The girl at the San Francisco counter was really pushing for insurance, and even called a Chinese staff member to explain it to us. It wasted a lot of our time. Also, both times we chose a two-door car, but they only had four-door cars available at the counter. Quite disappointing.

The cars from Avis in San Francisco are not very new. When I went to pick up the car, they informed me that the reserved model was not available and gave me a very old Ford instead, claiming it was the only similar model available. If I wanted to change cars, I had to pay extra. I saw many similar models at the pickup point, but after checking and returning to the counter, they still insisted it wasn't the same type and that I had to pay extra. The attendant was Chinese and tried to overcharge me just the same. I thought a big company like Avis wouldn’t have such issues. Finally, after arguing with the manager, they gave me another car, which they claimed was an upgraded Ford Explorer.
