RENTERS BEWARE - AVIS
This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had.
* We were stranded on the side of the road for over 5 hours in extreme heat with a 2-year-old child
* Avis was clearly informed this was urgent and that we had a 3:20 pm flight
* Despite repeated calls, we were:
* Transferred endlessly between departments and countries
* Ignored
* Hung up on
* After hours of calls, we were later told roadside assistance was only logged 30 minutes before pickup, despite our earlier requests
* We finally got help only after contacting Amex Concierge
* By the time help arrived, we had already missed our flight
* Assistance would only take us to the airport, showing no concern for the reality of the situation
* When I went to the Avis location to return the car seat and complete paperwork, I was met with hostility, raised voices, and accusations, and told the situation was somehow my fault
No explanation. No accountability. No concern for safety.
If you value reliability, especially when traveling with children or on a schedule, do yourself a favor and rent elsewhere. read more
