The guy working at the Avis was rude. He called because I was late, which I know is my fault, however, I told him I was still coming to pick up the rental around 4pm. He told me that I was out of luck and that he couldn't honor my reservation because he only had 4 cars and 7 reservations. He had a terrible attitude through the entire conversation. I offered to pay over the phone and sign whatever he needed electronically but he just continued to be rude as he told me that wasn't an option. I said I would call back when I was on my way and see if a car was left and he just blew me off and hung up. I did call back and his response was "see you when you get here". Once I arrived he asked for my name, then ID and credit card, which he ran without giving me a total or letting me see any paperwork first. Once given the paperwork, he went over nothing, did no walk around of the car, just expected me to initial and sign blind. I was then given keys and off. He also didn't ask if there would be any other drivers so I was unable to provide my wife's info. I'll never use that Avis again.

Even tho’ I made a reservation and had a confirmation number, Avis did not have a car for me. They called me a few minutes before I got there to pick up and said that they don’t have cars for a lot of people. Never once did they apologize for the inconvenience. They told me to call back the next day, which I did. They were rude both times and never once apologized that they still do not have a car for me. I suggested that they stop giving out confirmation numbers to people because they don’t have enough cars. Employees did not seem to care about that. It really really messed up my plans.

If the app allows you to book a car and set up a time for pick up, it should know if the location has cars available and the location is actually OPEN at pickup time.

There was no car despite having a reservation. I wasn't notified there was no car until I showed up to pick it up. This rental was to travel for my husband's funeral. Hertz saved my day. I will probably not use Enterprise or Kayak again.

What did I like? A decent selection of vehicles to choose from. What I didn't like? 1. I payed thru this website just to get down there to pick up the car and be told that I couldn't use a Chime Credit card, I had to find a 4th party to put up the stupid deposit AND pay the extra daily fee for the "extra driver" since my friend, well he was not going. Avis / Payless, at least here in Topeka, suck mouse balls. 2. They didn't even walk me to the car and inspect it with me, I can only assume because he knew it was filthy and had plenty of dents and scratches to go with it along with a 3/4 full tank of gas.
