I was renting a car with Avis@ SLC. Had a the greatest experience ever. Mona Tolentino customer support and expertise was amazing!! This gal deserves a raise! read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. I landed Sunday this week, and was given the keys to a vehicle. Did a brief walk around, things seemed fine. Started the vehicle, and the windshield washer fluid was low (this covered up the check engine light, I should have paid attention to. Asked the attendant as I drove out if he could top it off... He didn't have any option for me except to fill it up myself later. There was a storm coming in later, but I did beat that to get to my hotel. I didn't drive the rest of the day because I fell ill. I woke up early the next morning and drove to get medications. When I started the vehicle, the Check Engine and ABS alarms went off, telling me it was unsafe to drive. But it was early and I needed meds, so I went to get them. Later that day (Monday), after my training, I called filed a request for road side assistance. After waiting for 3 hours (near 7 pm) I started a chat, the chat was not a live assistance. Get a live assistant. They tell me it will take till 9 or 10 to get the replacement. I ask them to wait until tomorrow morning. They state that they will call me in the morning to pick up where we've left off. I let my training cadre know that I will have to wait for a vehicle the next morning and stay back for the transfer, since they won't let me leave the key with the front desk, in case I need to sign something. So, Tuesday, I slept in till 7, had breakfast, and waited. About 8:30, I decided, maybe I'll need to initiate the process again, and contact assistance... chat with computer "I need to transfer you" Chat with live assistant, "a rescue team will call you". 20 min later, get a call from the rescue team. They inform me they've contacted someone to perform the vehicle exchange (mind you not clearly, so I don't know if I'm waiting for someone to bring the new rental and a tow truck, or just the tow truck). This could take up to 6 hrs of my already missed work day. I do get a refreshed link so I know the tow driver and can call them. 3 hrs in, I call, and get "VM has not been set up". 1 hr passes, I call, and a garbled, unrecognizable answer. I start receiving text reminding me, that I need to be there for the vehicle exchange. no calls. Call the 3rd time, a lady picks up "oh, he is close, and he has the replacement vehicle". "Awesome, thank you. He arrives at noon with a Dodge Durango- heck of an upgrade! Pulls it off the truck, give me the keys and I get in. "Low Tire Pressure" is the first thing I see. I ask him if he has an air compressor. He says "It looks okay, just go to a gas station". I say fine, give him the keys to the equinox and ask if there is anything to sign. There isn't. Could have easily been taken care of with the front desk. I drive a block, and the tire pressure sensor seems to have reset, I'm good to go, take it back to the parking lot. This morning, get one of the other training cadre to ride with me "to balance my luck," but also take a 6 seater for today's field trip. The tire is now completely flat. This evening, after seeing that the spare is a donut, and not knowing the distance I'm driving tomorrow, I decide to call Avis, and tell them just to pick up the car. Start the call process again- computer- specialist- rescue team. Rescue team guy says he has someone lined up to get the vehicle between 6 and 7:30. He connects me with customer service to inquire getting a refund. I speak with them, after 10 minutes, they let me know they can't do anything until the vehicle has been returned, which, we know I can't do myself.... It's approx 8:50. At 8, I started trying all of my "Rescue" links to track where the tow driver was... All of them go back to the original assistance request. After 7 tries, they finally get someone to call me. He states "oh, yeah this has been picked up"... I'm not calling about that one. I'm calling about the new one that I can't track. He calls the tow company (doesn't give me the number). And then lets me know, they'll be here in another hour. The vehicle is going to towed tomorrow. Do not recommend Avis is SLC for anyone! read more

The worst car rental experience. We got off our plane in Salt Lake City and headed to the Avis rental desk with our Booking.com rental agreement/voucher in hand. When we got to the counter there was about 50 people in line and 2 agents. There was a QR code to pre-check which we tried. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for Booking.com reservations. The line moved at a snails pace and took 2.5hours to get waited on. During that time, we looked at the other rental companies who had similar lines but were moving efficiently. When we got to the front, we asked about the time delay. The agent just shrugged, no apology, no upgrade, no excuse! read more

The experience wasn't perfect but far better than I've had at vehicle rental places. I had reserved a compact car for three days for $276 using credit card points with Chase. There was no line around 11 am on a Monday at the Avis counter at the Salt Lake City airport. The employee helped me right away, was largely friendly, and processed an upgraded vehicle for me to a Jeep Wrangler because of upcoming snowy conditions. He never told me it was a hybrid though! There was an unusually long wait where he just waited for 10 minutes in silence and didn't tell me what was going on but evidently he was waiting for someone to come up and hand him keys. Otherwise, the process was fairly smooth. I was told where to go (downstairs to the garage), which parking spot the vehicle was to be found, and how to exit. read more

Will wait over an hour to get our car. There's two people working at the Avis counter despite a line 20x longer than any other counter (and two agents to 1-2 customers at all other counters). Avis has no desire to get people through these lines, though the 2 agents are working hard. Will not rent here again. read more

Almost 2 years later and the line is still one here. Only good thing Avis has done is Avis preferred. No more lines just walk to the car. But still this should have been taken care of. Long lines here. read more

Incredibly long wait, about 1 hour and 40 minutes in line. So so slow. Only 2 reps helping about 40 customers in line.

my bill with confirmation number 01681711US3 supposed to be $716.05 they charged 763.20 with no explanation just saying NET charges, customer service is BS. see photos DO NOT RENT A CAR HERE! read more

Terrible experience here at this Avis. Ordered a full sized sedan but they struggled to supply the car I ordered and asked if I would take a Range Rover or Truck. Ended up sizing down to an intermediate car after about 30 minutes of waiting. Step it up Avis! They said they would refund me $50 but never did... Had to contact support and still hoping for the best. Never had a worse experience at any other Avis, just this one. read more

This was my first time renting a car in my entire life, and it was an absolutely terrible experience. I was definitely expecting to wait in line to get my car, and there were five people in front of me, and three people at the counter. This was no big deal at all. The person at the counter who helped me was named SKYE, and they were very helpful. I appreciated the directions that were given to go and find the car, and where to get the keys, etc. When I walked down to where the vehicle was, I found the vehicle easily. There were three gentlemen sitting in chairs in front of where the car was, and I wasn't sure how to get in and out of the space, or the parking lot for that matter. I tried to ask one of the guys for help, and he said what do you want?! I apologized and just asked for directions on getting out of the parking lot. Then, for some reason, they picked up their chairs and moved out of the way, and then glared at me. I wasn't expecting to drive forward, I was expecting to back up, but I assumed that because they moved that meant that that's the way I was supposed to go. I was given no directions, and ended up going to an area in the parking lot where they do car washes for all of the rental vehicles. I ended up getting stuck in a one-way only area, and thankfully somebody helped me get around so that I didn't crash the car into anything. As soon as I looked down and started driving, I noticed that the car was overdue for an oil change. The outside of the car was filthy, and it was kind of difficult to see outside of the windshield. I had to stop at a gas station to clean it. I thought that the cars were supposed to be clean when you receive them, but that was not the case. I had to call the company because I was returning the car a few days early, and the person on the other end of the line gave me so much attitude for it. My trip got cut early, so I just wanted to make sure that I didn't have to do anything extra to return the car. I'm also confused about the total bill For my rental because it was probably $50 less than the original quote, but I returned my car five days early. Sounds like a huge rip off, and I will never be renting from them again. read more

Probably would not use AVIS again. I usually rent from Alamo or Hertz. Avis had a decent price through the Delta app so I chose to try them this time. I was disappointed you don't get to pick your own car. They assign you a car. And there was no one out in the lot to help you like at the other agencies. I ended up using just a tiny fraction of gas, barely even noticeable on the gage, and they charged me for a half a tank at the end. None of the other agencies do this when you bring it back nearly full. Not nearly as personable or user friendly as Alamo. read more

I was hesitant in booking a car with Avis after reading all the reviews in this location. However, they have the best price among all other rental companies and have similar not so good reviews. We landed around 8 pm and the airport was so alive which made me worry that i would either have to wait for a while or will not have a car like what the other reviews were saying... i was wrong! There were maybe 3 people ahead of me and 3 open counters. The other rental booths were busy as well. It only took me 5 minutes before I was helped, only to found out the preferred clients go straight down to the parking lot. Tip: sign up for it! It is worth it. we went down and was greeted right away, i was told that my car isnt available but was given the choice for a bigger car for the same price. Of course i said "Sure"! The reason for -1 star is the quality of the car seat that we got. All their car seats are stored in a cabinet and none looked clean. Each one of them are either stained, has tears or both. They looked gross and not been washed for months. I just picked the least gross and showered it with disinfectant. I hope avis will get this addressed. Return was quick and easy! read more

It's so nice that this Avis garage is walking distance from the airport. I booked my car when I arrived and I was till able to access the discounted rate which was nice. I was also given a complimentary upgrade being that the car in my spot was a jeep when I reserved a compact car, such a pleasant surprise. They were very hospital upon my return. Definitely would rent from this location again!! read more

On our visit to SLC we had a reservation with another company to rent our vehicle. After further thought and research, we wouldn't be landing until 11:45pm. This other location had hours until midnight. We decided to look at some other options in case we don't make it in time. Turns out our flight was delayed and we didn't land until after 12:30am. We thought this worked out well as Avis had a more affordable rental rate and were open later which accommodated our flight time better. We had reserved a Toyota Camry or similar. We have driven Camry's so we thought this would be a good vehicle to rent. We had some driving to do and it would be nice to do in a similar vehicle that also gets good gas mileage. As it turns out when we got to the counter, we were told they had no Camry's or similar vehicles available. In fact, they were almost all out of vehicles. Not sure how that works when you reserve a vehicle type, then it's not available? All they had left were Jeeps and a Suburban. Well our gas mileage dropped by at least a third and the size of our vehicle at least doubled. They did offer those other vehicle options at the same price however it would have been nice to receive the vehicle type we reserved. Returning the vehicle was a very simple process and the airport does have a gas station located on the property which is nice so our vehicle could be refilled before returning it. read more

If you are a preferred member, just walk on downstairs and pick up your car. When I arrived, the sedan that I wanted "wasn't available" although there are plenty of sedans there. The associate said he would look for one for me and give him 10 minutes, he did not look for anything. I did let him know that I saw one readily available after 20 minutes of him not coming back out for me in the heat. I got the sedan I wanted and went on my journey. The return process was seamless. Drop and go. Good experience nonetheless. read more

As a criticism, why would any company have you electronically sign blank forms, and when I questioned them, this was the answer "It's not my fault, it will be on next screen" Then when we received the car it was dirty inside and we couldn't get out because we weren't in the system read more

Monalisa and Yvonne offered the best service ever. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. They upgraded my car at the last minute and was very patient and understanding of the last minute change. I highly recommend Avis and hope that your experience could've as great as mine was. read more

Avis confirmed my reservation for pick up at SLC for price of $341.17, I was given written confirmation of our agreements months prior to picking up the car, confirmation number: 0517083US5. Kathryn Jones then charged me $700.00 on my credit card, inspite of evidence she is still trying to cheat me, my bank saw the evidence and corrected my bill. Now she is threatening me with collections. she should be fired for dishonesty and ignorance. read more

It's a true mystery. Why would it take 15 minutes per customer to get a rental car? We all have reservations. We are all ready to go. Did they lose the cars? The tires? Computers down? Who knows! If you think standing is healthier than driving, rent from Avis! read more

Arrived about 1030 on a Monday in September. The app said, "Your Rental is Ready". I tapped Choose My Car Now but then it said Your chosen car is not available. 1 There were about 30 people in front of me at the SLC airport kiosk waiting for an Avis car. 2 While I received a free upgrade, it was not the type of car that I requested. read more

Unhappy with the quality of customer service or shall I say lack of customer service. My husband and I arrived at SLC with a reservation. We were told they didn't have a vehicle available for our reservation and had a larger SUV. In all cases in which we've had this happen we have always been upgraded with no extra charge to us... we were told it would be $100 more per day. The gentleman who helped me didn't offer any solutions. I followed up by asking about possibly a smaller vehicle instead but was then told they had absolutely nothing. My husband was ready to fold and just grab it but I don't play that. I refused to be up charged. I was able to book at an alternative rental company for a much lower. read more

Extremely easy rental. Car assignment was in place when we touched down. Brand new vehicle with less than 2,000 miles. Convenient location and easy to bring our checked bags right down to the vehicle without having to go curbside to load bags. Limited line at counter that was moving quickly when we passed by. read more

Avis had the longest lines in the whole area. I had a good price through the American App so opted to use them but they are very scammy. My husband and I were supposed to meet in SLC and pick up the car, but his flight was delayed by 3 hours. So I needed to pick up the car without him. The woman at the desk said that she couldn't give me the car because the reservation was in my husband's name. I said ok, lets change it to my name. She said she couldn't do that because my husband wasn't there. I said let me just start a new reservation in my name. She said she couldn't do that because I have the "same last name of an existing reservation." I said that makes no sense. If someone with the name Smith has a reservation, you won't let any Smith's walk up and rent a car? I then said, just cancel the first reservation and let me rent a car. She said she couldn't do that without my husband there. It was beyond ridiculous and there is no way that's their policy. I called customer service and cancelled the reservation and got a new one in my name. The woman at the desk wouldn't even look at me when I got back up to the desk. I said that I didn't want coverage and she tried to sneak it in anyway. She said ok I'll just put the mandatory state coverage on and I said but I have my own insurance. She finally gave in and took it off. I saw her do the same thing to the gentleman in front of me. There were two women working on the afternoon of 3/28/26. The other one had a name tag that said Mona T. The woman who I was dealing with did not have a name tag but had long, wavy, dark hair. I don't know if she was just having a bad day, but if this is the way she normally acts, she shouldn't be in customer service. read more

This business has an extremely deceptive pricing strategy. The cost that was presented to me in my online reservation ended up being more than double when I arrived at the counter to pick up the car. Avoid at all costs. I will never rent from AVIS again. read more

Worst experience ever! We have been waiting in line for an hour and ten minutes and are no where near the counter. By the looks of it we have at least another hour before we get to the counter. Stay away from renting from Avis! If we had not prepaid we would be renting from another company. read more

I rent a car, got a l flat tire and waiting on side of freeway for 2 hours for roadside assistance. No spare to replace so I was towed back to airport and given another car. A short distance from the airport I got another flat, another 1-1/2 hours on side of freeway waiting for roadside assistance, got a third car. Missed whole business day meeting I went to SLC for. When I looked at the receipt, I noticed they charged me for filling up the gas when I had already done it. They gave me a refund. read more

if I could give a zero I would!!! what an absolute shit show they are running! I waited two hours in line to pick up a car I had a reservation for coming in from an oversease flight. The reservation price was 1300 and after waiting in line for two hours and being absolutely exhausted from traveling for 24hrs the price went up to 3600. No help what so ever from the manager and team member. I will never use Avis again. Period! read more

i'd give zero if could. they know how many people pre rent cars on any given day, yet there are 30 people in line and 1-2 staff. Lots if counters but no one to work them. spend the first day of your trip in the Avis line! read more

Stay away from this place! I gave them a 2nd chance when I had my 1st bad experience with them back in 2021. I can't believe I dealt with the same Russian scammer from LAST time!! Once AGAIN we booked our car 4 months in advanced requesting a hybrid or similar. And once again LONG ASS LINES. And once again. The same person that tried to scam me the 1st time was there AGAIN! And he did the SAME THING- Told me there were NO cars available Only trucks and SUVs. This time I requested a full refund which I got and went to Enterprise and got the car I wanted. 2 strikes. YOUR OUT! And I will be reporting Avis to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) read more

Bait and switch pricing - beware. I was quoted one price and at the counter with the most unhelpful person on the planet the pricing went up by 200 dollars - not including deposit. Watch out what they quote and what they actually charge. Also - charged me for a premium car and gave me standard car which was 35 dollars less per day. Shame on you Avis for scamming your customers read more

Worst rental experience from a 'brand' rental car company. Feels like dealing with a budget rental car company. Got a rental car with 3 tires overinflated, we're talking about 45-50 psi based on the car. The other was 28 the day I picked the car up and now has dropped to 18 psi. Was trying to contact customer service to get a replacement, but it seems its impossible to get anyone on the phone though AVIS. Tried the app, rerouted me to the phone. There's no menu option for something is wrong with the car. If you try emergency roadside, it sends a text to some kind of allstate roadside assistance where they're charging for the service. If its a real emergency they tell u dial 911. Basically no valid option exists for if you actually have a issue with the car that was given to you. read more

I had an unplanned trip to San Diego to bring my wife home after an accident and she was left unable to fly. We needed a rental car that was large enough for her to be comfortable in. I booked through Costco.com and the rate I found was fantastic, and almost half what other rental companies were quoting. That's where the good news ends, Avis is a terrible company from start to finish. The agent at pickup at the San Diego airport was disinterested and extremely unhelpful, but by that point I was desperate and needed to get on the road. Our rental was "well used", scratched, dented and drivers rear tire showed serious edge wear. Plugged in the rental GPS unit and exited the parking garage, following signs to a parking area designated for acquiring satellite signals. GPS came on line, sadly the XM radio, that I paid extra for never did connect. The first day the vehicle ran well and I was happy with my decision, the ride, comfort and roominess of the seating was a blessing for my wife. The next morning, after plugging in the GPS tablet again, it would not turn on. After about 10 minutes the screen showed a warning that the power supply was insufficient for charging. The battery had drained overnight even after being shutdown. Then after 9 hours of driving, it still had insufficient power to operate, ridiculous! On the way back home we ran into three tremendous mountain rain/slush storms that reduced visibility severely, which was made even worse by worn out wiper blades, the blade would partially squeegee in one direction but not the other. Another maintenance issue overlooked by Avis! At my destination, refueled before taking back to the Salt Lake City airport rental return. No employees in the return area, instructions on ceilings, said to leave keys in vehicle. So I parked behind several other cars and left. The next morning in my email I find out what the total rental cost is, with taxes and extra feed, just shy of double what I was quoted and it included a charge of $83.89 stating the vehicle was short 1.20 gallons of fuel! I'm not inexperienced at refueling, but when the gas pump stops after numerous attempts to restart it, I had to assume it was full. It was a pretend charge to make up for a great offered rate. Could I have addressed several of these problems during the rental, yes, but I shouldn't have had to when my only concern was getting my wife home for additional medical care. Never again Avis! If the deals too good to be true, it isn't a deal, it's a petty ripoff!!! read more

I had a reservation to pick up a car at 8 p.m., but upon arrival, no vehicles were available. I was informed that one would be provided within 20 minutes; however, after waiting 45 minutes, there was still no car. While the representative I interacted with was courteous and professional, I ultimately had to walk to Hertz, where I was able to secure a vehicle immediately. I believe Avis needs to take stronger measures to ensure car availability aligns with confirmed reservations. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Every car rental place in the Salt Lake airport has no line except Avis, which has about 30 people in line and two people working. Each person in line appears to take about 10 minutes to get a car so at this rate, I'll be in line for 2 hours. Trust me, rent from someone else. Your time is worth it! read more
