1. The rental office forced a Roadside Assistance Package (RSN) on me for $78, explaining it as 'various taxes and fees.' I was not careful at the time and did not question it. Remember to clearly review and ask about all charges before signing anything, since once signed, you cannot appeal. 2. I did not use the Toll Pass, but I was still charged $28 (4 dollars per day for 7 days). I suspect it's because I accidentally went through an electronic toll lane on the Golden Gate Bridge (although I had paid online in advance), which activated the toll pass and resulted in a daily charge. This is completely unreasonable.

Poor maintenance

I waited in line for twenty minutes. At the counter, I wasn't informed about the extra insurance they added. Later, I noticed unexpected charges and realized they had added all the extra insurances without telling me. The staff at Avis never mentioned it to me.

All rental companies at San Francisco Airport are in one location, making it very convenient. Plus, AVIS car pickup is on the first floor, which is great. The first staff member we met insisted there were no Mustangs and kept pushing us to upgrade. We went to the car lot and saw numerous Mustangs, so we talked to a different staff member and finally got a Mustang! Los Angeles Airport is not like this – each company is quite far from the others.

Terrible service and I will never use Avis again. They overcharged me for fuel, included unexplained charges and incorrectly informed me on charges for a GPS. I plan to complain to their head office on the numerous inconsistencies in charges. It was my first time using the company, and if their intention was to never get me to do business through them again, then they succeeded.
