Obviously, I have choices in rental car companies and I have chosen AVIS due to their better service. We've recently moved to Sandy Springs area and since I use rental cars all the time, I tried the agency closest to me which is Dunwoody. Unfortunately, they have poor customer care and always deny car confirmed rental on the last day. With my luck, I started doing business with Roswell (Mansell Rd) agency and they have been pretty professional. The reason for this review is to appreciate Julia at Mansell Rd, Roswell, GA. She has been an asset to Avis. She tries to resolve problems, care for customer's needs, and gives a lovely human face to this agency. Every time I go there, I feel like giving them more business. Unfortunately, Julia works weekends only and don't get to see her all the time but all I can say is that Avis management has done an excellent job hiring such dedicated workers who bring care and professionalism to this location. Thank you and thank you Julia for your smiles read more

This place should just close. They don't have vehicles the day of your reservation and will give you a stupid response like "go to the airport to see if they have the car you were looking for". Bump - they're way better places to rent from! read more

Worst experience. Very unprofessional. No cars even though I had a reservation. Would never use them.

I have always received exceptional service and support from this Avis location, and today was no different. They truly care about their customers - from check-in to support throughout to the cleanliness of the vehicle to drop off. read more

Not sure why they have such low reviews. My car was being repaired at the dealership for a few months and needed to rent. I ended up renting around 10x from here and also rented for a work trip and never had any issues. Overall super friendly staff and great car selection. Will use them again for my next work trip. read more

I always have a great experience at this location. The last two times they upgraded me for free! Very friendly and great customer service.

Never rent from this place! The manager was not trying to help or listen to what the issue of the car that we rented. He was worried about his own business and not representing Avis well. He cut me off when I was politely explaining the problem of a cracked window that we did not see when we rented. Poor service and unacceptable customer service from the MANAGER! read more

This location is not very tech oriented. You fill out everything online for expedited check in. Then when you come in, the person has to essentially do the same thing while you wait. They have a bizarre rule about driving less than 75 miles and being penalized with the gas. They gave me a car with 1/2 tank then proceeded to ask me over and over if I filled up the tank when I returned it. I brought it back how you gave it to me. There is a man there that has zero customer service skills. He was curt and borderline rude. He approached me in the parking lot like I was supposed to know who he was with no name tag or Avis shirt asking me for the keys. The woman is much more friendly and customer service oriented. My rental was dusty and not "super clean" inside yet they give you all these signs about cleaning fee this, pet hair that. Well you should have it way more clean than what I was given. It even drove horribly over 55mph. They never asked about my ride or experience when I returned it. Also, they let you reserve a car at 2pm to be dropped off at 2pm on Saturdays. They close at 2pm on Saturdays. I get in and they say no you need to be back by 1:30pm or it is likely you will get charged another day because the computer will shutdown. What? So are you reimbursing the 30 minutes? And why not have 1:30 as the cut off then?! Lots of annoying non customer friendly things that make this not the most ideal place to rent. If you get a really really good rate then maybe but otherwise hard pass read more

We were used to the previous owners customer care and kindness. these new owners are so much into greed and no kindness .we will never use them again. read more

The worst attitude anyone can have in the retail business. I walked in with a smile and created him with how are you sir - how's your day but The man was rude and demeaning- idk why even though I was so nice to him. I had no choice but to rent there because it was too late to go shopping. But Never again there! read more

Good: Helpful Staff Bad: Small location Overall: Great Experience I rented a car from the airport and had to wait a while because of reduced inventory. I was given a Mitsubishi which was an awful experience. I called customer service and they told me I could visit another location to exchange it. I was greeted by a very nice man. Unfortunately I do not recall his name but he was wearing a turban which I expect makes him stand out from others that work there. He was incredibly helpful and friendly. I am grateful for his help and would high recommend him if you need something from Avis. read more

overpriced, they charge me for full size car and i got the smallest compact car possible, if you want to extend you are paying additional fee. Price on line way less then when you go there. read more

The lady at the front has a heavy accent. The guy is somewhat reasonable, but do not go here. Terrible service not to mention, the run your debit card and make it fail, saying they only accept credit cards. Another guy was having this issue and when I brought it up, the lady got mad at me refusing to acknowledge what I said and said I should stay out of that conversation. read more

Avis Rent A Car - Car Rental Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

My husband reserved a rental for us to drive a long trip this weekend. We get there and are completely taken around the block with his card won't work, I can't use my debit card even though it's a large bank, we need to use a credit card. I asked if this information was sent when he made the reservation and she just brushed us off and kept saying "I'm not the one to answer these questions, call this number." What do you mean you're not the one...this is your job! Needless to say we will not be renting there ever again. Also, your store smells like garbage. read more

Terrible experience, these people can't be trusted. They make up stuff to get extra money at drop off. Absolutely my worst avis experience in 40 years of renting. read more

Had a great experience with the owners of this Avis location. Had unexpected car repair issues on Labor Day weekend. Other rental agencies were out of cars. The owners here were friendly and accommodating and were able to assist me. I would recommend them read more

STAY AWAY FRO THIS PLACE!! They are cheaters and will rip you off!! A friend of mine rented a car and drove me around. So I paid for the weeks rental. When we returned the car the lady at the desk refused to tell me how much was owed until after she swiped my card. She then tried to say we had the car for a week and two days. When we had had it for a week. When I showed her we had it for a week she refused to admit she made a mistake. Until I said I'd take it up with my credit card company. Then she got nicer. She then tried to charge me a cleaning fee, when the car was clean. read more

Poor service, limited car selection and dishonest salesmen. Avoid this location if you can.

This location is terrible , I was suppose to pick up my car at 9 AM, they call me and say they have no car. They finally call me at 4PM and say they have a car for me. They also overcharge me for my rental car. read more

denied on a credit check!! my debit card has 30k in the bank i own three properties ...use entrrprise! read more

Rented a car to take on a long drive. Great experience. I've rented cars many dozens of times all over the country, and this was some of the most friendly and helpful staff I've ever encountered at a rental counter. Unlike some suburban rental locations where you just get whatever car they assign you, they had several on site. We got to sit in a couple and choose our preference. Pricing was competitive. Easy location. Will definitely use again. Only drawback is that with only one person typically working at the counter, you may have a brief wait to pick up / drop off at peak times. Signing up for an Avis Wizard number online before you pick up the car will handle most paperwork in advance, and speeds up the process. read more

Called ahead at the end of the day before to confirm that they had the car I've rented and asked for the earliest I could get the car - they sad 8am - came at 8am they were closed; waited until 9:03 and nobody showed up. Had to call the 800 number and rearrange to pick up in another location. COMPLETE DISRESPECT!!!! read more

This location is an absolute joke. Reservations are meaningless, and they will present you will terrible options when they are unable to fulfill their obligation. My choices were to take a car to Jiffy Lube and have it made roadworthy, or take a truck. After taking the truck, I quickly determined that the turn signals did not work, and the windshield wipers would not turn off. The owner / operator found it shocking that I found this car to be unsafe, despite that fact that I was unable to comply with local laws because my turn signals were disabled. The operator of the location put my life in jeopardy and argued that this sort of thing is somehow acceptable. read more

Showed up to pick up my reservation and they only had passenger vans. So like Seinfeld said they can take reservations but can't keep them. Totally incompetent. This place needs to go away. Do not come here unless you want to see failure. read more

I called ahead to see if I could get a ride home. The guy at the counter did not speak English and once I got there said that he would call me a cab and I would have to pay for. I told him that was not what you told me over the phone and he said tough he couldn't leave the store. I strongly suggest going to enterprise Rent-A-Car across the street which have much better employees read more

Terrible service manager has a bad attitude and is argumentative. Delivered a dirty car and when I complained she tried to blame it on " nature"...I explained she needs to clean nature. After all that she sold a premium car but delivered a new full size car..ugg Go somewhere else there are many choices I am a very experienced travelerwith membership in all travel clubs. ..I know what should be delivered read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The rudest people I've ever encountered in my entire life and completely unprofessional. I booked a car the day before I came in and received a confirmation of my booking. When I came in at the scheduled time to pick up the car, the two ladies behind the desk told me I was NOT picking up a car. Without as much as getting my name, she told me there was no car for me and I had not made a reservation. I informed her I had, and pulled up my confirmation on my phone. After looking at the confirmation (which listed the location, time of pick up, etc) she didnt even acknowledge that, CLEARLY, I had made a reservation. Long story short, I was not able to rent a car (even though I had booked one). Not even an I'm sorry for your inconvenience. I will not be booking with that location again, or any Avis, in fact. Enterprise all the way. read more

I got a good price on an Avis car via Costco travel. The staff was really nice, and I had a decent choice of cars (the web site said "Chevrolet Cruze or similar"; I had a choice of two Mazda 3-series and a VW Jetta, which in my opinion are a bit nicer than a Cruze). However, Avis gets deductions for three main points. By 10 a.m. on Monday, the guy responsible for cleaning up cars over the weekend had not shown up, so the poor receptionist was stuck doing a bit of cleaning, and the car wasn't vacuumed. Later, I also found a used tissue and an iPod from the car's previous renter still in the car. Yuck. Avis also does not offer the option of leaving keys in a drop-off box. Cars can only be returned during business hours (which do not include Sundays. Final negative: Avis insurance is ridiculously expensive. I do not spend most of the year in the US and no longer have a car/ insurance here. The last time I rented a car in the US, the cost of comprehensive insurance was something like $30 for the entire rental period. Avis insurance was nearly $50 a day! It was cheaper to call my parents from the car rental station and have myself added to their policy for about a month. I genuinely don't know if I will rent from Avis again. read more

We rented a car over Thanksgiving. The reservation was made several weeks in advance. They day of the reservation I received an early phone call notifying me that the car was delayed an hour coming from the airport. I appreciated the heads-up but then I received a second call saying it was delayed another hour. My reservation was cut short two hours and then when I arrived to pick it up, it still wasn't there. We had to wait around another 30 minutes. The lady at the front desk said there was nothing she could do about it. When the car finally arrived, she said she would credit us back a small amount for the inconvenience. We appreciated the gesture but the credit was never given to us. It was a busy, hectic time of year and the delay set us back a bit. We're pretty reasonable and understand things happen but the total inconvenience cost us about 2.5 hours and then there was no compensation for it. I still had to pay the full amount for the rental even though I didn't get it for the full term. There are just a lot of options these days, so customer service is key. read more

I never rent cars, never had a need to do so, until my parents came in town, and we all decided to drive to Miami. We went to Avis, and were pleasantly surprised with their prices, and on top of that the manager who works there was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure talking to her, and she gave us a good price on an SUV, which is exactly what we wanted. When it was time to return the vehicle it was the snow week...so everyone was closed including Avis, so we got to keep the car for 2 more days. When we went in to return the car, of course some charges had accumulated, and the girl who was there at the time told us that we will have to call customer service to have the charges removed, b/c she could not do it at the store. I was a bit disappointed, but the next day however the manager called me herself and notified me that all the charges were removed. Whoohoo for good service! Definitely a place to get a car at a good deal, I will be going back. read more

Personable staff. They have a polite, professional and enthusiastic style of doing business! I got a clean, great car at a decent price and they picked me up from my house to boot! This is my 2nd time renting an SUV from this location and because of the service I get there I will continue to go back as long as it's run by its current management. read more

I chose AVIS because they have a fleet of Ford cars, and I drive an ST. They have the Ford Edge listed as one of the vehicle classes and I'm in the market for a new one. I reserved my car 2 months in advance for pickup on a Monday. The Saturday before I called the local number and was routed to a call center. I requested an Edge, even though I realize that they cannot guarantee a specific car. The rep noted it on my reservation and we hung up. Moments later, mister Singh (listed as the manager of the Roswell branch) called me to try and 'save me some money' by renting for a week instead of a weekend. Ummm...my res WAS for a week, so he wasn't paying attention. Then he wanted to upgrade me to an Explorer for $300+ more dollars. Nope. I repeated my previous request to him, and he stated that an Edge would be there on Monday. Lo and behold, when I arrived there was no Edge. Just Escapes and an Explorer with 10K more miles on it than both of my own cars, and it was in bad shape. I decided to use my own car for the trip. Bottom line: He had ONE JOB....to provide the vehicle I requested, and he lied about doing it. What a jerk. read more
