Everything was pretty great, except that it was difficult to opt for an electric car even though they seemed to be advertised at the same rate or cheaper than the ICE car I eventually rented.

They called me at the last minute and told me they did not have the van I was going to rent so they would give me a box truck for more expensive so I had to go last mirando find another company to rent from

My main issue is the customer service for pick-up was poor and I was overcharged. I couldn’t find the rental counter and tried to call them. No answer and this was during supposed business hours. After reaching the counter I was pressured to pre-pay for the electric charge (I had a Tesla). I declined and as I exited the garage I was asked again and I declined again. The car was fine during the rental. When I returned the vehicle I returned it with more charge than I received it with. At drop-off I was told they’d email me my receipt (I had a flight to catch). And sure enough the pre-pay was on the bill. Very disappointed that they added in charges I declined numerous times.

Lots of added/hidden fees after reaching the counter even after declining options. That should be presented at the time of checkout. Then for self reported damage, no pen is provided. Most travelers aren't carrying pens. I had to ask the man at the exit booth got a pen to sign off any damage

Rented a large van, which was great. Got a brand new vehicle with less than 50 miles and it did great. Check in took a long time. Seemed to have too few people for the reservations, although there were also a few people in line who seemed confused on what they needed. So may have been walkouts that Avis was not expecting. Return area was not staffed early in the evening, so had to go by the rental counter. Thankfully, there was no line that time.
