If i could give a negative rating i would. Absolutely ridiculous service. We picked up our car at Las Vegas and specifically told the lady we need a AWD because we will be doing alot of driving around the mountain areas. So we were told that we were getting a 2016 nissan Rogue with AWD. When we got to the car we see this totally banged up, white 2006 nissan rogue, WITHOUT AWD, and it insideof the car smelled SO bad that it was unbearable. We had to waste nother 30 mins of our time going back and forth to the right decent AWD that we requested for. Thats not be very honest right there isnt it, and no the bad experience is not over yet.
So we returned our car at LAX, after i got on a plane and flew back home to vancouver I realized I have left my sunglasses in the eye glass holder. So immediately i called the LAX location to tell them. The lady picked up, told me to call the Lost and found department and they will help me out, so I did. I called this Lost and found department 5 times without anyone picking up than found out they are not opened during the weekend. Than why ask to me call lost and found in the first place???? Does your employees not know the basics such as the hours of operations between your departments??
So than i called the LA location back ( and im 100% positive the phone number i dialed was infact their number). Than this Justin rep picked up and said he is located in Oklahoma!! So I told him the situation and he said only the LA location can help me put a note on the car to ensure my sunglasses would be retrieved before another person rents the vehicle.
So i was like I did call the LA location but whatever just transfer me over to them, than guess what, all I got was an ongoing ring that no one would pick up and eventually the line gets cut. I tried again and again for over 8 times with 8 different agents and they all did the same thing to me.
So finally i called one last time and i got an agent again from Oklahoma, i pretended to be a new customer looking to rent a car from them. I asked him if you are not from LA, can you still help me get a car rental pick up at LA? He was really nice and said certainly. So i than i confirmed with him eventhough you are not in LA you can still help me out. He again delightly said yes to me. Thats when i confessed to him that i have already returned the car and i left something in the car. Than guess what, he said he cant help me because hes not located in LA. I asked him oh so if im a new customer bringing you new business you can help me out even though you are not in LA, but if im a done customer needing help to retrieve a lost item than all of a sudden you cant help me out? The agent was literally speechless. I asked him for a manager, so he said he would get me a "specialty department agent". Than thats when the real fun starts....
This so called specialty agent told me he ame bull crap previous 9 agents told me, but this time he said because hes in he specialty department he has a special number to get in hold with the LA location so he transfered me..... than guess what. A chinesse lady picked up and asked me what would i like to order. So literally, i got dumped to a chinesse restaurant.
This is no joke, i will never ever go with Avis again and i hope everyone reads this so they will never go Avis as well read more
