Picking up and dropping off the car was very convenient. The first car we got had an oil light come on while driving in San Francisco. We returned to AVIS, and they quickly gave us a new car.

Overall average

When picking up the car, they initially tried to sell me an extra insurance for $10 a day. I had already purchased full coverage in my home country and clearly declined their offer. However, the white male attendant insisted I buy road assistance insurance, claiming it wasn't included in my plan. Since the English description looked like third-party liability insurance and he said it was mandatory, I had no choice but to buy it. Later, the pre-authorization turned into an actual charge of over $400. Spent the New Year negotiating this with customer service. Very poor experience. If your English isn't good, just say 'No' and don't pay extra.

This is the first time I've encountered being charged for returning the car early without a refund. I already bought insurance, but they added more insurance, leading to duplicate purchases. This made me have to go to the store to resolve it, wasting a lot of time.

Reputable company.
