Avis Car Rental

Ordered a Tesla as knew there was a massive Tesla supercharger point over the road. Got given a mustang which was a lovely car but my God is it difficult to find a charger point! There is one at the Circle K which takes about 1.5hours for a full charge but this was so new it didn't come up on Google so we ended up wasting more or less a whole day driving around trying different points. Most didn't fit or we had to get an app which wouldn't download to our UK phones. At one point we found one that fit and left it for 2 hours only to find it had charged 3%. Honestly it was such a perfect storm and it would have been avoided if we had actually been given the car we had ordered. It meant we had to pay a late fee and waste a whole day just to get it charged. Secondly I've just been told they'll be charging me more This is more than a month after I rented the vehicle and they've said they charged me too little for the unlimited tolls. I am glad we went with Avis however as even though there were some extra fees these weren't extortionate and obviously we understand the late fee is justified. I've read some horror stories about other companies and I do trust Avis not to make up that I damaged the vehicle or left it in a state etc.

overall, we were satisfied with our experience. we had a major glitch on our way back to return the car. Unexpectedly the rear tire blew out in the highway in an unknown area to us. Neither AAA or Avis responded in a timely fashion. We sat on an exit ramp for over 3 hours. Our daughter suggested asking for a replacement car. I would have thought Avis might have suggested that as our first option. After much searching by us, we located an Avis location 5 miles away. We had the car towed there expecting that we would have to Uber (paid for by us) to the Tampa airport. However, Erin at the Brandon location was able to provide us with a car. She was, by far, the most helpful person. Because of her, we would use Avis again. No one expects to have these issues and it was a learning experience. I wish that someone would have taken the time to tell us what to do in an emergency situation or perhaps a card that says steps to take if (fill in the blank) happens. Too many layers of people to talk to when you call.

Atendedores muy amables y con paciencia a los hispano hablantes. El vehículo impecable. Hicimos cambio para devolución al aeropuerto y no hubo problemas...ojo con lo que cotizan y pagan por Internet que finalmente terminas pagando más caro en la oficina en seguros...pero con bastantes opciones.

This Avis was wonderful. They upgraded me and they got me in and out and I was able to hit the road within 10min of giving my credit card and drivers license. I rented with them because TURO wanted $75 to rent a car, plus $75 for the app fee, and forced an insurance policy. Here the rental was $69 plus tax, unlimited miles, and they had an overnight key drop.

"I rented a car for the first time with AVIS, never again! Terrible experience! The car came with dents, the air conditioning didn't work, there were cockroaches crawling inside, and there was marijuana in the car along with various other messes! I went back to the agency to try to exchange the car, but they simply refused to do so! I don't recommend this shameful company that doesn't respect its customers! Don't rent with AVIS, go to ALAMO instead!"

First, The car has many scratches and dents. We picked it up from the airport when we landed at 9/10p, drove to the hotel and the next morning 9a while trying to take our kids to the theme park we paid for, the car would not start, they sent a service to jump it but it would not work, we managed to get it started after 2 hours and got ourselves to the nearest Avis where we were almost turned away until insisted because we want to get our kids to the park. The attendant was ultimately helpful but extremely slow and nonchalant while I was under stress because time and money has been wasted. We also got a smaller car with no discount. I’m very unhappy with Avis.

Ran into an issue with a reservation - our fault; well, the wife's fault ? - and the AVIS customer service rep. referred us to JR's location. He took care of our issue, and had us set to go in minutes! Thank you for your help, JR. ?
