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.

The service was okay, and they did try to sell insurance. Just inform the store that you already have insurance via the platform.

The process was quite fast even though the customer service staff were chatting, it didn't take long. I chose a Ford but got a Nissan, which was new and easy to drive. When returning the car, the person at the lot intentionally made things difficult by saying my order was closed by someone else. When I went inside, they said it wasn't closed and sent me back out to ask him. This back-and-forth happened three times until someone inside came out to help me and I finally got a number to complete the return process. The lady inside firmly said the order was fine, and only then did the man, with a cunning look, write down the number. I was already in a rush to catch a flight, and this made my experience quite bad! If none of these issues had occurred, it would have been great!

Very good

The distance from Los Angeles airport to the rental company is not far, but the line was too long and there were too few staff. We spent two hours just waiting in line. After getting the car, it had issues, and we had to return it to get a replacement. Altogether, it took three hours. It was exhausting and caused us to find accommodation only in the early morning!
