They gave me all electric car without offering me an alternative. Never used one before and was not aware of the hassle it is to find a charging station.Reviewed 11 Aug 2026

The requested car, automatic, was not available. The wait to pick up the car was long. The car was dirty and nearly empty of fuel. The rental car company insisted we but insurance even though I told them I had bought insurance separately. Drop-off was smooth and quick.Reviewed 11 Aug 2026

Could not book insurance online, due to service provider limitations (priceline/kayak), so had to buy more expensive one at the counter. Other than this and waiting in line for 50mins (peak season, 2 flights arrived just before I came) it was seamless experienceReviewed 11 Aug 2026

Very easy to pick up and drop off. The jeep was just what we needed to explore the parks!Reviewed 10 Aug 2026

We were lucky to receive an unexpected upgrade when the car we had reserved was being checked out by another agent at the same time. The hybrid sedan we received instead was perfect for our traveling since we were driving many miles between destinations each day. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and it was a part of our very enjoyable stay in the Albany/Hudson Valley area.Reviewed 10 Aug 2026

The main problem was at the new LAX rental center. This place is massive, and not so easy to find where you need to go without someone giving you directions. But the real problem was with Avis staffing and car management. There were only two agents at the desk, both who were amazing in dealing with the stress, but the line move so slow - it took 30 minutes to process all of 6 or 7 rentals in front of me. And then when my rental was processed, I was asked to sit and wait while they found a car for me. Another 30 minutes. And then when I was assigned a car in a spot, I went to that spot and there was no car. So I went to the counter down in the parking area, and a very nice attendant went and found me a car. Took her two tries, but she did find one, changed my paperwork, and I left the rental center almost 90 min after arriving. If this was at a super high volume time I would understand a little more, but this was 9pm on a Wednesday evening. Again, the staff was doing the best they could, and everyone was very professional and working very hard, best I could tell. This is a management issue plane and simple. Maybe the LAX rental center is to blame. Don't know, I was renting for a one way to get to Bakersfield the next morning to pick up another vehicle, but had I just finished a 12 hour (or longer ) international trip, gone through baggage claim and customs, waited for and taken the shuttle to the rent center only to wait another hour + to get my car, it would have been hard not to lose it. To everyone's credit that night, despite some tears and clear expressions of frustration, the renters and the rental car employees kept things civil. I don't pretend to understand the challenges at these mega rental centers, but the one at LAX seems to be a disaster. I'll avoid it as much as I can. And for Avis's part, I can only guess that they had their part in it, too. We rent from Avis often times because my wife's employer has a corp account with special pricing, but the service is always hit and miss. Its a tough biz……...Reviewed 10 Aug 2026

The worst experience ever. They make their own rules, they don't care about the Terms and Conditions published online. NEVER AGAIN.Reviewed 10 Aug 2026

I arrived at Bedford to the power being off in the building. There was no way to get the car other than wait for the power to come back online. I sympathize with those working at there at the time - clearly not their fault. I got on the phone with the avis national line - they were hugely unhelpful in helping remedy the issue, finding me a new car, or helping reimburse the travel expenses of picking up a car somewhere else.Reviewed 10 Aug 2026

The office was severely understaffed for the late night pickup. I, and 20 other customers waited over 2 hours in line to get the reserved car.Reviewed 6 Aug 2026
