BEWARE: FRAUDULENT, HOSTILE, AND COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL - DO NOT RENT FROM THIS LOCATION
I am warning everyone right now: DO NOT rent from this Avis location. This was one of the most disturbing and unprofessional experiences I have ever had with any company.
I prepaid two weeks in advance for a sedan (Toyota Camry or similar) with a 6:00 PM pickup. On the day of, they called and told me I had to arrive by 5:30 PM because they close at 6:00 PM--yet they allowed a 6:00 PM booking. Completely misleading and unacceptable.
When I arrived, the situation immediately felt off. The employee helping me was not professional in appearance or behavior and rushed the entire process. I was handed keys to an SUV (not what I reserved) with no real explanation other than "sedans are sent out of Colorado." Then I was aggressively pressured to sign paperwork confirming no damage before I even saw the vehicle.
I refused to sign until I could inspect the car, which clearly irritated her. Instead of doing her job, she lazily clicked the key fob and pointed to a random car outside. No walkthrough, no inspection, no customer service.
When my additional driver asked reasonable questions about the vehicle, another employee jumped in with attitude and defensiveness instead of helping. At this point, it was obvious this location does not care about safety, transparency, or customers. We were told that if the vehicle needed tire rotation we needed to take the car to discount if we felt it wasn't safe. Unacceptable.
Things escalated quickly. When I calmly asked the agent to slow down and explain the return process, she completely lost control--yelling, screaming, and telling us to get out. She literally kicked us out while we still had the rental keys in hand.
It got even worse: her own employee had to physically hold her back while she was screaming at us, and another employee was telling her to "calm down." At one point, an employee even said, "I don't give a f*."** continued to scream like a psychopath. This is the level of professionalism you can expect here. I should have called the cops and reported these people, they were not worth my money being spent, very confused about the situation and what escalated to being kicked out for being a customer with questions went to the vehicle and saw damage, the tank was not full and the entire car inside was dirty. Glad I have evidence of it all. I should have went with Enterprise.
My partner was so uncomfortable and disturbed by the situation that he refused to go on the trip at all.
During the trip, I received a call from this same employee asking how things were going and offering a credit. I refused, because no amount of credit makes up for this level of behavior. When I explained I didn't feel safe returning the vehicle to that location, she became defensive and falsely accused me of smoking in the car--BEFORE I HAD EVEN RETURNED IT. I do not smoke, and making false claims like that is completely unacceptable and feels like a setup for extra charges.
To make matters worse, my sister-in-law--who was there separately with her baby for her own rental--was also forced to leave due to the chaos and threats, even though she had nothing to do with my interaction. She goes down the street to Enterprise almost about to close, mind you without an reservation and receives a car without hassle, wonderful experience the agent went outside to do a walk through and was on her way.
This location is a complete joke--rude, aggressive, dishonest, and operating in a way that feels outright fraudulent. I would never trust them with my money, my safety, or my time again.
Save yourself the stress, the risk, and the potential for false charges--DO NOT RENT FROM THIS LOCATION. read more
