We were in Tucson and needed a car for a day. We rented a car online but when my wife went to pick it up, she was told they didn't have any cars, unless we were willing to take a dirty car.... Not that big of a deal, and we needed a car so she agreed.
Then the manager asks for ID.. The standard practice has always been a credit card and a drivers license. He asks for a 3rd form of ID and she produces an insurance card and another form of ID, but he says that won't work because he needs two photo ID's.
She left out of frustration and took an uber to Hertz where everything went much smoother and she was able to get a car with no issues. She did, however, call Avis Corp where she was told that the 2nd form of ID was up to the individual store. Julio De La Garza claims to be the manager of the store and claims he has no knowledge of the policy being left to discretion.
To recap:
Only dirty cars available.
Uninformed manager that doesn't know their policy.
Rude manager that needs further training and better people skills.
I'm not sure this branch of Avis is aware, but the rental car business isn't doing very well right now and since our daughter just moved to the area, you've lost a customer that plans on being in Tucson 5-7 times a year... I know where I won't be renting a car for those trips. read more
