Too many

We agreed to pick up the car a bit earlier and return it on time, charging by the day. However, when returning the car (because we picked it up two hours early), they charged us for two days, which seems like a clear case of malice.

Very satisfied

It took 3 hours to pick up the car in LA. Not only did I not get the car I booked—because they didn't know when it would be returned—but after switching cars, I waited another 40 minutes in the parking lot because the car hadn't been washed and needed to wait in line. The chaotic process made me question if AVIS is really a public company.

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!

There was some trouble communicating due to language barriers when picking up the car, but the staff were very patient in explaining everything. The car provided as per our reservation didn't meet our needs, so they helped us upgrade to a newer, larger SUV. The trip went smoothly without any issues. When returning the car, we just filled up the tank as per the contract and cleaned the car a bit. It only took a minute to complete the return at the designated location, which was very convenient. It's best to rent from a big company like Avis; they are well-organized, and both picking up and returning the car are straightforward.
