The provided vehicle was not on the list, and the condition was average, even the car emblem was missing. There was a noticeable premium compared to other rentals during the booking process. They charged a one-way fee, but there were additional charges after the order was completed. After contacting the rental platform, no proper resolution was given. This was a very poor rental experience! Both the rental company and the platform were disappointing!

The queue was very long, and they tried to upsell too much.

I encountered an unethical staff member at Avis who seemed to be a manager—an outright scammer. Here's the story for everyone to understand. Avis requires the tank to be full when returning the car, but due to heavy traffic, a 40-minute drive took two hours. Worried about the time, I decided to refuel near the return location. To my surprise, there was no gas station nearby (which is unreasonable because if you refuel far from the return spot, the tank will not be full by the time you get there). For everyone's information, the return location has a gas station, but the price is $10 per gallon instead of the normal $3 per gallon. So, we were fined $61. Isn't this a deliberate rip-off? That's not all, though. The worst part is yet to come. We tried explaining to the staff to avoid the extra charge, but if it didn’t work, we were ready to pay. The staff introduced us to an American man who seemed to be a manager to resolve the issue. However, this 'scammer' pretended to help us. He printed a receipt, intentionally showing a charge of 61 and then a -61, making us think the fee was waived. He also added a charge of 17, supposedly for the regular gas price. We trusted him without thoroughly checking the contract filled with English and technical terms, and thanked him repeatedly. Later, I found out I was charged on my credit card. Upon inspecting the receipt, it all became clear (I kept the receipt just in case). The $61 was not a big deal; we were ready to pay but just tried our luck. Who knew people in the U.S. could be so unethical? Even when we picked up the car, the front desk staff was unfriendly. Maybe it was due to the cheaper rental rates for Chinese customers through Zuzuche? On a positive note, the customer service at Zuzuche was excellent.

They persuaded us to buy extra insurance when picking up the car, costing over $100. When returning the car, they tried to charge us an additional fee for returning at a different location, which was already included in the order. In total, they overcharged us by more than $200.

Returning the car with Avis was pretty easy. Sometimes, if you rent from younger staff, they might suggest upgrades. For an extra $10 a day, I upgraded to a GMC YUKON, which was worth it. But occasionally, you get an older staff member who doesn't offer upgrades and lacks knowledge. They equated a Ford Expedition with a Chevrolet Tahoe, which is clearly smaller. While the Expedition handles better, if handling was my priority, I wouldn’t rent the largest car. The office staff were generally friendly, but the Mexican or Asian staff inspecting cars at the parking lot were quite arrogant. Definitely a bad experience. Why put on airs when you're just inspecting cars? I will never rent from Avis again. Most expensive, yet the service isn't that good!
