Pros: Cheaper way to travel with a larger family.
Cons: Renting from airport facilities is much more costly due to airport taxing.
With a family of 5 and living on a budget, we don't travel as often as we would like. We usually only get to take a trip once every 2 years or so. So, when we do plan one, it is a big deal and a lot of work. We try to squeeze in as many visits to as...

Pros: price, unlimited mileage, good customer service
Cons: very unreliable vehicles during both rentals
Let me begin this review by saying that I don't use auto rental agencies often. When I do rent a car it's usually because I'm taking a trip and don't want to put all the miles on my own vehicle.
When renting a vehicle, there are certain...

If you've already read this review of mine, please skip to the bottom, where I've added my latest experience!

Pros: Polite staff, competitive rates and cars
Cons: FATAL flaw-- didn't honor a reservation
Planning a trip, I made a car reservation through Avis several weeks in advance. Via an agency car upgrade promotion and a coupon for a free day, I was pleased with the reasonable rate my reservation showed. As most travelers could appreciate, knowing...

Pros: Clean cars
Cons: Mis-informed clerks!
We recently had an frustrating experience with Avis. Our big plan for the day was to visit Disney World. We needed transportation so we called Avis. They gladly sent a driver out to pick us up at our hotel. We were excited and in a hurry to get to...

Pros: Great *base* international prices, friendly and helpful service, many int'l locations
Cons: Extreme additional charges, and a touch of shadiness
How did $430 end up as $1240 and finally $650? A combination of good deals, shady deceiving, small print, and trying harder.
I found an 11-day full-size rental for $430 (plus 1200 miles!) at the avis.com site, which was by far the lowest rate...

Pros: very convenient, nice cars
Cons: may not be cheapest
My experience with Avis has always been at an airport. Many a time I have arrived at the car rental counter at an airport with sketchy information from a travel agent, but Avis has always come through, finding and filling the reservation. Billing to a...

Pros: Great Service, Fast and Reliable
Cons: Can't register for preferred service on line.
Avis makes it so easy and quick to get in a car and on your way it's almost a joy. This of course is only relative to my past experiences which might explain the joy part.
The rates are pretty good, you might be able to save a few dollars...

Pros: Convenient, inexpensive, & free upgrades
Cons: none
I've used Avis for renting a car on my past 2 vacations. Both times we flew into Tampa, Florida. The rental counter was extremely convenient to get to - right across from luggage pickup, and the customer service representatives were extremely friendly...

Pros: Fast, efficient service, serviceable automobiles and a great price.
Cons: None.
I've now rented from Avis twice, and the second time confirmed my initial impression. I don't expect to rent from anyone else again.
I rent a car on the odd occasion -- two or three times a year. After a bad experience with another company --...

Pros: Friendly service, good prices
Cons: not much trunk space
Coming home from my Grandfather's funeral last year I had a 5 hour layover in Las Vegas. It was no problem since I was traveling with my mother who lives there. We decided to go back to my parents home for a while, but didn't have any way to get there...

Pros: Great on the front end
Cons: Forget about them if you have a problem
3 days into arental at AVIS in London, UK I discovered our car had no fuel cap. To some this may seem trivial to me it was a safety and environmental hazard. The rest is just poor customer service on AVIS' part. I wasted a full day trying to exchange...

Pros: awesome cars, good service
Cons: somewhat expensive
I have rented cars with Avis for the past 3 years, since I was 18 years old. Until I recently turned 21, they were the only company I could rent with because of my age. The company I work for (like many other corporations) has negotiated a special deal...

Pros: Quick to get you in your rental and prices are wonderful.
Cons: Locations other then airports don't stay open very late in the evening. Most close at about 6pm.
Rental cars. Anyone who travels a lot has had to rent a car at some point. I myself have rented from several different companies and never truely been satisfied until I had my first encounter with Avis.
My husband does a lot of travel...
