    SHADY BUSINESS & RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more I rented a car from this Avis location for a business trip through my employer's travel department. When I got to the counter, the workers were very kind and I gave a credit card for incidental charges. After I returned the card, my personal credit card was charged for the full amount of the rental instead of the company card. When I called to request a correction, the customer service person was extremely rude and told me that the only way I could fix it was to come in to the physical location with the physical company card (2,000 miles away from where I live). They refused to charge the card that the reservation was made with and the customer service person I talked to after escalating this issue said that it "sounded like I had a lot of issues to deal with."

    We reserved a full-size sedan nearly a month in advance. When we arrived at the desk to pick up…read moreour car, we were told there was NO full-size sedans available. They offered to put us in a Toyota Tocoma but my husband declined due to the truck bed being open. The ladies at the service desk literally tried to pressure us into taking the Tocoma by stating that those were the only vehicles they had that could be rented there and returned in Pittsburgh. Somehow they "found" a camry and proceeded to fill out the paperwork. Once signed, keys in hand, and us physically walking to get the car and leave..... one of the counter representatives (that had JUST FILLED OUT THE PAPERWORK FOR/WITH US) cornered us at the rear door of the business (opening into the airport parking garage) and impolitely requested we return to the desk because that particular car had already been rented..... HOW can you rent a car to two different people???????????? WHO had the rental we had already reserved and paid for????????????????? LOW AND BEHOLD, they found a Dodge Charger which turned out to be slower than my grandson's tricycle!!! It was a 4 cylinder with ZERO get up & go! IT did get us from point A to point B just without any sense of speed!!! Prior to leaving, we were informed that we could drive through tolls and that the tolls would be added to our final total upon return........... NEVER ANY MENTION of the $20 "convenience fee" for using the toll-by-plate feature. ALSO, no mention of the excessive charge of the tolls that a new-comer to the state would never know about. I can't blame them for our not knowing of the tolls --- but for damn sure NOT mentioning the extra cost associated with using the "toll-by plate" convenience. Also NOT mentioned was the $22.50 CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGE (WTF is this?) The Energy Recovery Fee of $12, the $11.11 concession recovery fee, the 2% passengar car rental fee of $4.77, the state surcharge of $2 per day and then the Pennsylvania passenger car rental tax. With all this being said............. I most DEFINITELY WILL NOT be renting from AVIS nor BUDGET again!!! There should be a full disclosure policy for any rental location to allow the customers to know exactly what they are being raped for!!!! Finding out AFTER the fact, in our case after we had returned home and checked credit card bills before paying them & found out about the tolls) is piss poor customer service. Having rude service representatives as the face of your business franchise is definitely going to speed up your business' failure , as well. There are plenty of other options to choose from and word of mouth spreads at rapid speeds!!!!!!!!
