Not far from the Los Angeles area.

too long wating time

AVIS is a well-known car rental company, and I've used them before, thinking they should be fine. However, in late March, I rented a car at Los Angeles Airport and encountered an unprecedented situation. Arriving at the AVIS airport rental point around 3 PM, I saw a long queue at the counter, nearly extending out the door. After about an hour of waiting, I finally completed the paperwork. I thought I could just take the contract outside and pick up a car, but was told by the staff there that I needed to wait another 1-2 hours for the car. I was shocked and only then noticed many others waiting for cars. Eventually, I got the car after 6 PM. Not only was the pickup slow, but returning the car also had issues. About a week after returning the car, I found a $102 charge from AVIS on my credit card. Customer service said it was for refueling since the car was returned without a full tank. However, I clearly returned it with a full tank, which was checked by the staff at the return point. After providing evidence and having customer service contact AVIS, I finally got the $102 refunded to my credit card last week. Kudos to the rental service's customer support for their responsibility and efficiency.

Waited for two hours, AVIS had only 3-4 counters open. Everyone in the room waited an average of one and a half to two hours. A week ago, my friend also rented here and waited for two hours. AVIS has no intention of speeding up or improving the service. If you want fast service, definitely avoid AVIS at Los Angeles.

Strongly dissatisfied. When handling the paperwork, they told us we would get a free upgrade for Christmas. We confirmed several times on the spot that there would be no extra charges for the holiday. However, after we returned the car and came back to our country, we found out they charged us $81 on the return day. Through QEEQ, we found out it was the fee for the car upgrade. We couldn't understand the contract and only had verbal confirmation. AVIS really scammed us. The AVIS staff had the appearance of a person from a certain densely populated Asian country! Be careful everyone!

Long queues, no free upgrades. Poor experience!
