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.
I booked a Ford Edge, but they gave me a smaller Chevrolet Equinox instead. When I argued with the front desk, they said they didn’t have any Ford Edges available. If no Ford Edge was available, why not offer me an upgrade? Why downgrade me? For years, I've rented cars at Los Angeles Airport in the U.S., and at other rental companies, I could choose any car I liked from a parking area filled with medium and large SUVs. I could pick any one and drive off. At AVIS, however, they assign you a specific car, and in this case, they even downgraded me. This is truly unacceptable!
The overall service is quite good, and there was no hard selling of insurance.
