I have been renting with this particular Avis since I have had my VW which is about 7 years now. It is really iffy when it comes to them. I mean the service is not downright terrible, but its definitely close. 1. They usually only have two people in the building, so they do not have someone to pick you up or drop you off. 2. When i am getting repairs I go to vdubs only which is on the other side of the expressway, so in order to get my rental, because they do not have someone to pick me up i have to cross the expressway... and 3. which is a big reason to why I will no longer rent from them, they ALWAYS add the fuel service charge on the bill. Now i do not drive much, i just need the car to get to work and run errands, so why would i pay 13.99 for a gallon or two, when i can go and pay what I used in gas which is usually between $5 and $7 total? Then the thing about it is, they will go to check the mileage, and not llook to see that the gas tank is on full.
Today I rented a car and there was an extra $15 charge on my bill, and the girl tried to tell me that because i brought it back before the full day of rental, it added that on. What? how does that make ANY sense at all? I had the car a FULL 8 hours and you are charging me an extra $15 because of that? um no maam, you either take the $15 off, or i will cancel my card and you get NO MONEY... rip off. I just rented on monday and saw an extra charge on there so i have to speak to avis customer service.
Also if you make a reservation, you will not pay what you paid in the reservation. This is the only place where I can book a rental for three days, pay $104 online for the reservation, i pick up the car, drive, return it, and im charged an extra $10+. Whats the point of the reservation and paying advance? read more
