      DO NOT RENT at ****************************************************************! This location engages in a massive fraudulent scheme. I just discovered that I was charged nearly $300 in toll fees for my recent rental from a state that I didn't even travel to. Not only did Avis steal my money, but I was not even notified about this charge by email, or mail. I was told today that Avis doesn't have my email. Really? So to cover up this fraudulent scheme, Avis is not even sending receipts knowing that most people don't in fact check their credit card statements. It is just a numbers game for you, I see, 90% of people won't discover these sneaky charges. Today, I finally demanded the receipt and I see a frantic state line crossing log I was billed for that resembles an **** car activity. What kind of fraud is this?For what I have been put through, Avis should not only reimburse the tolls, but waive the rental charge altogether.Shame on you, AVIS, you can do better!

Im.over it. AVIS is another fat corporate pig rolling over humanity with no desire to truly serve or assist. AVIS customer service is a self serving maze that only serves to enrage and confound.

      My husband and I return a car rental the Savanah airport drop off for Avis. I stupidity left my small purse in the car. It took us twenty minutes to back to avis. I got my purse back minus the 250. Dollars and change that was in it. I know it was my mistake to leave it. The employee who found it should not have gone through it to take the money. That company employee a thief. Others should be aware before using this company.

      Dear Avis Customer Service,I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the condition of the vehicle I recently rented from your **********, ** branch. Upon picking up the Chevrolet Suburban, I was extremely disappointed to find it in an unacceptable state.The vehicle was filthy both inside and out, with visible dirt and debris. Additionally, it had multiple dents and scratchesall over the body, indicating poor maintenance. The interior reeked of cigarette smoke, making for an unpleasant and unprofessional experience. More concerning, the tires were nearly bald, posing a potential safety hazard. On top of this, the radio, Bluetooth, horn and turn signals turned on and off while driving, further highlighting the lack of proper upkeep.Upon noticing these issues, I immediately requested a replacement vehicle. However, I was informed that there were no other available options, leaving me no choice but to proceed with this subpar vehicle for my business trip. Given the unacceptable condition of this rental, I strongly believe that this vehicle should not have been in your fleet, let alone offered to a customer.This experience falls far below the standards I have come to expect from Avis. As such, I am requesting a full refundupon returning the vehicle. I trust that Avis values customer satisfaction and safety, and I look forward to a prompt resolution to this matter.Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on the next steps regarding my refund request.

      This Avis location will try to falsely charge you for fuel when your vehicle is returned with a full tank. We filled up within 2 miles of the airport and were charged $82.71 from Avis for 7 gallons of fuel. The tank was full and no fuel was needed. Make sure you take a photo of your fuel gauge when in the return lane. I would also ask for a receipt showing the vehicle was returned with full fuel. They let you leave with no receipt and state "you are good to go", but then try to add charges after the fact. Not a trustworthy location.

      The rental and the process was standard and satisfactory. I received a bill after I was charged for tolls that occurred after I returned my rental. I even had a local toll service active during the rental and paid all my tolls. Toll chat was no help and I was told I would have to go through a process and provide proof that I paid my own tolls. I took issue with having to prove anything because I had returned the car prior to the charges. I should not have to prove anything regarding tolls and should not have to go through this process. my refund should be immediate because I could not have incurred the charges. Now they have my money and are withholding it from me.

      Terrible company, they dont stand behind their reservation. In ***********, at the ariport it took over an hour to get to the counter, and then they informed us they either dont have a car, or, if we are lucky enough there will be 2-3 hours wait. No apology, no offer to make it right, no discount, nothing. Hundreds of people were just waiting for hours while their inept employees were all cackling and having a good time,

      Reservations are booked based on our expected availability, however when vehicles are returned back late or returned damaged it can cause us to not have the availability we had expected. In these cases we will try to find a vehicle from another location, if we are not able to we would have to refer you to rent with a competitor. In the event you did rent with a competitor and your rental costed more than your expected charges with us we are happy to review for your charges for possible reimbursement.

      Avis put me and my family in danger. We were given an unsafe car. The tire was illegally plugged and subsequently went flat. After calling roadside assistance they determined that this car should have never been on the road. Avis made us drive the car with a donut back to the airport to get a car exchanged. After getting the car exchanged they continued to charge my account. This was after verifying with 2 agents thats there would be no additional charges on my account. Ive now been charged an additional $232. It has been an absolute nightmare trying to get my money back. Avis has zero interest in rectifying this. And has zero sympathy or compassion for the fact that they put us in an unsafe vehicle. I will never be renting from this company again. Its been over two weeks and I am still fighting them. Avoid Avis at all costs. It will costs you financially if not physically.
