They are sneaky, crucial payment terms are not explained. They talk about all the services that don't require payment, but make you sign for $845 insurance, hidden in very faint print. Lesson learned!
Avis service was mediocre. The reserved car model was almost unavailable, and I only got a car after strongly insisting and waiting for half an hour. When picking up and returning the car, make sure to take photos of the fuel gauge as evidence, as Avis tends to arbitrarily deduct fuel charges from the deposit.
We were delayed getting the car because my daughter was hungry, so we stopped for a meal before heading over. It ended up being a bit later than planned. We got a Malibu, but the back seat had a strong smell of dog odor, probably because the previous renter had a dog there. We had to keep the windows open the whole way. While driving, I noticed the steering wheel was a bit off-center—when driving straight, the wheel was slightly turned left, and when centered, the car would go right. It was okay for temporary use, but not ideal. My next rental in Hawaii was also with Avis, and that car was in perfect condition. Honestly, it feels like a matter of luck.
Avis could have been more flexible if the car that we chose is not available, better if they can give us a refund on the difference, but in my case, they won't even entertain us.
The major brand is reliable and straightforward. However, the originally reserved SUV was replaced with a business car, which wasn't as easy to drive.
