It was determined that we might encounter severe weather conditions during our trip so the Avis attendant provided an all wheel drive car as requested. We were very thankful for the quick ability to provide for our needs in helping us reach our destination safely.

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable however not the most professional. The car was vacuumed but the windshield was not cleaned on the inside. The windshield wipers were terrible and need to be changed. Closing at noon on a Saturday is ridiculous.

The manager at the front Desk argued with me and insisted on trying to overcharge me $100 more for my car rental even after showing him what my quote was. I had to strongly express my concern and to get my point across Very rude and unprofessional.
