The pickup took over 45 minutes to get through the line and delayed our travels. The drop off was great.Reviewed 22 Apr 2026

Staff was friendly and helpful. Car was barely drivable. It posed a risk for me and my family. The car needs serious repair or, best, to be removed from the rental fleet.Reviewed 22 Apr 2026

Due to false advertising from kayak, not Avis. I had to do a rebook and pay for a car twice.Reviewed 22 Apr 2026

If you're looking for a rental experience that actually keeps pace with a busy schedule, this was it. We picked up our car at a Scottsdale, AZ location, and the vehicle was in good shape and a great price. It handled the desert heat and the drive out west like a pro. The real MVP move, though, was the drop-off at LAX. We all know that airport can be a gauntlet, but this was remarkably seamless. We literally just pulled in, dropped the car, and left the keys. No paperwork headaches or standing around. The best part? The shuttle was parked and waiting for us the second we stepped out. We were at our terminal in under five minutes. If you’re doing a point-to-point trip through the Southwest, this is the way to do it. Very, very good experience.Reviewed 22 Apr 2026

The person who checked me in was not very friendly. However, everything was ok. I was not expecting a $200.00 deposit charge on my credit card after I returned the vehicle on time as scheduled.Reviewed 21 Apr 2026

the person that was at the counter was very, very slow. A co-worker took care of 4 individuals to 1 for the person that assisted us. The Tolls charge was not explained to us so we didn't take it only to find ourselves going over a toll bridge with ABSOLUTELY NO idea what to do. This was very upsetting. We were also given a space letter/number for the car we were assigned to only to get to the lot and there was no such #. We were not told what kind of car we had been given so no clue what to do. Luckily a lot attendant saw our confusion and stopped to assist us. Even he was confused which car was ours since the # didn't match anything. I feel the counter worker was somewhat competent but probably should not be at the counter. The car itself was great but there was a lot of stress involved with the entire rental process upon arriving at the car rental terminal.Reviewed 21 Apr 2026
