Good. The car has good safety features, including lane keeping, cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and a backup camera.

Had to wait in line for almost an hour

Very convenient.

We picked up the car at San Francisco Airport on December 28, 2014. The front desk was an Asian guy who didn't speak Chinese at first, but suddenly spoke it when he tried to sell me additional insurance, fearing I might not understand. We originally reserved a Ford Edge, but it was not available upon arrival and we were offered a KIA SUV. I said I didn't like KIA, so they finally gave us a Chevrolet Captiva for the same price. Later, I realized the Captiva is a compact SUV, while the Edge is a standard SUV, and there should have been a price difference, but we were in a hurry and didn't notice. When driving on Highway 1, a small rock chipped the windshield, but it wasn't noticeable unless you looked closely. We didn't mention it when returning the car in Los Angeles, and the return went smoothly. Overall, I'm satisfied with AVIS, but the front desk service at San Francisco Airport could be improved.

The San Francisco airport branch is easy to find, accessible via the blue line shuttle. There are a lot of people in line and the wait time is relatively long, but the prices are comparatively low. The cars provided are new, and the sales agents will try to sell you various insurances. Overall, I'm satisfied.
