Los Angeles - Las Vegas - Salt Lake City - Grand Teton - Yellowstone - Salt Lake City

The AVIS staff did not inform us what the TAB (car accessory) was before listing it on the contract; later we found out it was a GPS. They failed to inform us in advance. However, the staff was very detailed when recommending vehicle upgrades and additional insurance options.

Satisfied.

When picking up the car, they said the reserved car wasn't cleaned yet and suggested an upgrade for eight dollars, which I accepted. However, the actual bill was $47.84. Returned the car on 7/30, and on 8/15, they charged $450, claiming there was a smoke smell in the car. This is nonsense as I don't smoke, and when I returned the car, the staff inspected it and didn't mention any smoke smell. How could it smell like smoke 15 days later? The rental car customer service was unable to resolve it, so I had to call myself. After some argument, the Avis customer service said they would refund the money. It's simply extortion.

At LAX 5/6, the staff had 6-8 groups, and the speed was quite fast.

Nightmare! Arrived at the pickup point 40 minutes early, waited past the scheduled pickup time, and was told the reserved car was not available, even though the full amount was paid in advance. Couldn't wait any longer, they finally gave us a smaller Ford. We had many people and a lot of luggage, and drove it for 18 days covering 8300 kilometers. It was crazy!
