The first car had a smoke smell issue which was resolved quickly and fairly. The second car which was exchanged for the smokey smelling car was great. However, we had the misfortune of obtaining a rock chip. When we turned it in, we provided our insurance information and was told they would call us with information if they would need to repair or replace the window. Without any call or notification, Avis decided to charge our credit card for a full replacement of the windshield. The owner/manager, Scott (first he said he was the manager and then later he said he was the owner), stated it is their practice to "usually" (he kept using this word) call the customer. They did not use the insurance company because they have to use a 3rd party service which tacks on more fees and hassle. While Scott did a great job explaining how they "usually" do things at the Minot AVIS company, it would have been nice to receive prior notification of the charge to my bank account, have standard policies in place instead of being told how they "usually" do things, and receive an apology of the miscommunication between his staff members which resulted in not having a choice to submit the claim to my insurance company or paying out of pocket for the damages. Customers should be aware of this for future events. They will need to stay on top of communication efforts with this company. Thank goodness this rock chip only cost a few hundred dollars instead of thousands of dollars. I suspect most customers would like to know when hundreds of dollars are being extracted their bank accounts with some sort of prior notification and agreement. I will say despite this miscommunication, checking the car in and out, was an easy process with polite and helpful attendants. We did have to wait 20 minutes both to pick up our original car and the second car we exchanged because the attendants are often off site cleaning the cars as well as being responsible for managing the front desk. read more
