The location I booked at had cars in the lot but didn't want to honor the rate I booked. He told me he had no cars for me and I had to contact Avis support to book me a car at another location.Reviewed 6 Mar 2026

The car had 50,000 plus miles on it and the very helpful AVIS clerk said I could return it if there were any issues. It showed signs of wear but that was ok with me. When one of the tires started losing pressure after a week or so I took it back but they didn’t have any replacements. They told me to take it to a specific tire dealer to get it fixed at no cost. The tire dealer said in addition to the leak, the front tires were bald and they shouldn’t have rented it in that condition. They replaced the front tires and fixed the leak and in under an hour.. Avis paid directly so I didn’t need to put out any money. Overall it worked out fine but Avis shouldn’t have rented the car to me without ensuring the tires were safe.Reviewed 6 Mar 2026

I was not charged by Avis what I agreed to with Kayak. I called & was told that within 48 hours I would receive an e-mailed correction. I still have not seen that.Reviewed 3 Mar 2026

Lincoln Navigator was a nice rental. Clean, low miles (3k on it) and fun to drive. Only disappointment was being a 100k vehicle I felt my insurance was inadequate. So i bought Avis insurance at $50 a day almost the cost a daily rental.(which is my opinion kind of high.) I was hoping that kayak would offer some Insurance at a lower cost for Avis but was unsuccessful.Reviewed 3 Mar 2026

Fuel was at 3/4 when we picked it up. There was only one agent checking people in so it took forever and he didn’t do a very good job explaining where and how to return the vehicle. We had to do a chat while we drove around the parking garageReviewed 2 Mar 2026

There was no attendant at the counter at 4:00pm for my car drop off. I had to leave the keys in the overnight box with a note regarding mileage and drop off gas level…. I thought it was strange but the young lady I pick up the vehicle with was excellent! Very helpful & courteous.Reviewed 1 Mar 2026

Location is not correct - took a long time to even find this location. They said didn’t have our reservation - we had to play phone tag with the support line and on-site agent for hours before they finally got us a car. Then they downgraded our car after we already paid and signed the contracts.Reviewed 1 Mar 2026
