If I could give zero stars I would. RENTER BEWARE. Incompetent employees and Avis trying to scam me out of over $2k.
Photo attached of the vehicle as I received it. This is still in the parking garage without having moved the vehicle.
In this particular location the office is located on the first floor of a building, and you sign the rental agreement and get keys before you're given directions to go up an elevator a few floors up to find your car. There are no employees in the garage. When we first arrived at the office on the first floor, the two employees were talking to each other, using some acronym, about how that didn't have the category of vehicle available for me. My reservation was for a Toyota Rav4 or similar, which is what I received, so this is not about the vehicle type. I don't recall the exact acronym, but let's say it was G & D. The conversation went something like this: Employee 1: We don't have any G vehicles left. Employee 2: I know, I looked earlier. Just give her a D vehicle. I sign, get the keys, head up to the garage. Immediately we noticed the damaged car, I felt like this was unusual since I've rented from Avis multiple times and had never received a damaged vehicle. Between the damaged (and clearly not cleaned) vehicle and their conversation I felt uneasy. I snapped a video walking around the car and a quick photo. Since I had never had any issues previously with Avis, I assumed this was noted in their system and they had no other vehicles to give me. We were in a rush, and there were no employees up in the garage to chat with. We left assuming it wasn't a big deal. WRONG. I am now being harassed to pay for over $2k in damages to a car that I DID NOT DAMAGE. It's horrible customer service. The staff on site clearly don't check the returned vehicles and note any damage, absolute incompetence, so RENTER BEWARE. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. read more
