First, I'm only leaving one star because that's lowest option. The real star rating would be at a -100.
To start my four hour journey with Avis I arrive to pick up the car I reserved TWO weeks in advance to be told, "we do not have that car. You have to reserve vans two weeks prior." Can we take a look back at the time frame in which I reserved the car? Okay, great. So let's move on. I ask, "Well, what do y'all have that can accompany six people?" "A Tahoe." "Okay, I will take that, but I will only pay my original price." We go back and fourth and she finally agrees. Now onto the second issue. "Ma'am we do not have any car seats." "Um.. well I prepaid for them..." "Well, we will reimburse you." "Okay fine."
Now, at this point they tell me approximately where the car is that is parked in a Walmart parking lot. So, now I am walking around the parking lot clicking the lock button following the sound of the horn in order to find the car. I get In the car. It has not been cleaned. At this point I'm over it. I call customer service and they agree to reimburse me $40. I think that's really not enough for a dirty car, but I agree to it anyways. I get home, and I begin to clean the car. I open up the center consul and I find trace amounts of marijuana. Now, this is when the problems really begin. I called customer service probably 10 times to come to some sort of resolution for the pot being in the car. I go back to the rental location they clean the car out, they tell me I need to call customer service for a refund which I had and they told me the people at the actual location will provide the refund. So, I once again call customer service. I tell them the employees here can only refund up to $10 anything else has to be done through y'all. The guy proceeds to ask if he could speak with the employee. I say, "No, I would like to speak with the supervisor." He proceeds to tell me, "No, you have already spoken with one today." This is when it really went downhill. After a few choice words, I finally am transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor is clearly annoyed but finally agrees to $250 and the $40 originally agreed upon. Needless to say NEVER use Avis. The customer service is beyond AWFUL. read more
