Terrible. Had to wait in a huge line for over 1 hour after a long flight. Only two clerks were available, and at one point there was only one clerk. Everyone in the block long line was angry, stressed and complaining. The other car companies next to us were well staffed and had no lines. Then when I finally got my car it was low on gas. I'll never use Avis again!

You said they were renting me a Tesla. They never had or will have a Tesla at that location for rental. They provided me the least expensive car they had after waiting for a return. Bait and Switch. I paid for gas for no reason, I ordered electric. They blame you, you blame them. I want a full refund. I DID NOT RECEIVE TESLA YOU RENTED ME AND CHARGED ME.

Excellent service. Would not recommend renting EVs in general unless you have a dedicated place to charge. If you’re renting a vehicle for vacation I’d strongly recommend using a gas powered vehicle. Service at Hertz was amazing!

I rented a car, prepaid and made the check in, all ready for just pick up and go, but when I arrived to the office, they told me that I had my license banned/blocked for a non-payment in a past claim damage, when supposedly was paid for my insurance company. I was hurry for get the car, so I didn't have time for ask to my insurance company what happened. It took me a couple hours even pay, because nobody knows why I was banned.

Arrived 10 pm. Reservation was made in March. Three preregister e mails were sent. When I went to get the car I was told we have no cars. I said I have a reservation and was told we have no cars. I asked when they would have a car - 1 hour, 2 hours, the next morning. I was told they have no cars and that the employee did not work tomorrow. We had to try the other rental counters until one was able to rent us a car for 2 weeks. Another customer had the same experience at Budget. I will never rent from Budget again. They did not care about my reservation or problems at all.

No cars available for 15-20 customers, myself included. Had to wait an hour before I was finally assigned a car due to my FastBreak status, which I had to let the front counter know about - the system didn’t automatically detect my status.

We had to wait in the Avis lineup at the Salt Lake City airport when picking up the vehicle, even though there wasn't anyone waiting for the Payless representative. It took a long time. There should be a separate Payless line.

I had a blowout on the freeway shortly after picking up the vehicle. Realized then they had rented me a car with no spare tire and I had to get towed at 10:30 at night. The next day they sent a tow truck to pick up the vehicle, but made me get my own ride to the airport to pick up a new rental. They did offer to pay for an Uber, but it was incredibly inconvenient. I had originally been told they would deliver me a new rental, but then they said they didn’t have the staff to do that. It literally took half a day to get all the arrangements in place and pick up the new car. After all that inconvenience, they only refunded me $120 from a two week rental. I will never, never, never, rent from Payless again.
