      By far the worst experience I’ve ever had with Avis rental car, and not sure that I’ll ever rent from them again. I arrived at Cleveland this past Saturday and had the worst experience at Avis rental in Cleveland. When picking up the car it took over an hour to pick it up due to I kept experiencing with my reservation, including getting several emails from Avis that my rental was correctly canceled due to my flight being one hour late but they still proceeded to charge me $95 extra which I received over four emails back to back stating the same thing. from there, I had to spend over an hour with the manager, getting that all fixed only to be left, receiving a filthy vehicle, by far the dirtiest vehicle I’ve ever received from Avis, unacceptable! I took pictures which I attached which showcase the condition I received the car in. I rented a luxury car expecting luxury, but instead I receded a dirty car. I even addressed with the staff, only to be told there’s a car shortage and to not even offer to clean it up. Again, this is unacceptable and want to make sure this gets addressed. It only lets me attach two photos but i took several, so please let me know how to provide. I even ended up cleaning the entire car on my own which I should never have to do when paying this kind of money.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because I have not received any email for a coupon or refund difference offer from Avis to help address the issue or solution they mentioned. I am not accepting Avis response until I receive any email from them addressing this since I still haven’t received anything from Avis. I see they mentioned emailing a coupon; however, I haven’t received anything and I’m wanting to know what Avis will do around either crediting or refunding part of what they charged me for the rental since I had to spend my own time and money cleaning the filthy car they gave me, and not giving me any other options. Please advise on when I should be hearing from Avis.

      - July 4th, 2025 - Car reservation was set for 10 AM. There was no car available when I arrived at 11:30. I was told that there would be cars in 45 minutes.- I waited for over 2 hours and there are still no cars available. The only one that was available was a car that had a tire missing half of its tire pressure (it was 12psi as opposed to the standard 30psi).- People are unable to cancel their reservations, despite having waited over 2 hours and no car in sight.- There are over 10 other parties that are waiting for their reservation as well.- ************ reviews show that this is clearly repeated behavior and there has been nothing done to correct this.

      I was charged a fee for picking up early the car rental without knowing that there was fee associating with it. When I went there to pick up the car, the agent simply processed my request, gave the keys, and that's it. The agent did not inform me of any fees for picking up the car early. This absurd!

      Dear ******* ****, 

      At **** Budget Car Rental ********** we are disappointed to learn whenever a customer has found some aspect of their ********************** experience unsatisfactory. 

      By way of explanation, due to the car pick-up being early the rental required also an earlier return to avoid being charged for extra time. Generally,  the rental rate is based upon a 24 hour day based upon the start time of the contract. 

      This being said, in the spirit of goodwill we have submitted a monetary credit $48.08 to **** account number ending ********. Allow three business days for the credit to post. 

      We look forward to servicing your future car rental needs.

      I am rejecting this response because: It does very little address any issues specifically , it does not suggest any meaningful action may be taken besides a review . There are typos in the Title of  "Local Operations Manager" , which would be quite a concerning typo if this is legit . Also the fact that another company was mentioned , implies they are not accepting liability, which is quite concerning . Citing that my complaint needs a review Im sure would be part of any official proceedings ; but this does not resolve any concerns of further malfunctions, continued lost wages , and the safety of other rideshare drivers and passengers in unsafe vehicles .

      Dear ****** ******** 

      Thank you for your continued patience as we awaited a full review from the local operations team regarding the concerns you raised.

      Below is the response we received on July 22, 2025, from the Catonsville Independent Operator regarding your rental experience:

      "At the start of each rental, we advise all customers that in the event of any mechanical issue, the vehicle should be taken to one of our authorized service shopseither Mr. **** or Pep Boyslocated near our office.
      Mr. ******* rented a vehicle from us on May 28, 2025 (RA# ********* | MVA# ********). At the time of rental, the vehicle was inspected and showed no signs of mechanical issues.

      On June 11th, approximately two weeks later, Mr. ******* contacted us to report a mechanical concern. We responded by exchanging the vehicle for another unit (MVA# ********). After about a week, he contacted us again regarding mechanical issues with the second vehicle, and it was subsequently towed through Roadside Assistance. Once the vehicle was returned and inventoried, we provided him with a third vehicle on June 23rd (MVA# ********).

      Mr. ******* returned this final vehicle the next day, stating it also had mechanical concerns. This vehicle had been delivered to us the day before, was inspected upon arrival, and showed no issues. It was rented again the following day and has remained in service without reported problems.

      Given that Mr. ******* had the third vehicle for one day, he was charged a one-day rental fee, and the transaction was closed. We believe we made every effort to accommodate Mr. ******** including three separate vehicle exchanges, which is highly uncommon."

      We understand this experience may have caused frustration and regret any inconvenience you may have encountered. Please let us know if you have any additional documentation or concerns you would like us to consider in light of the response provided.

      Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to review your case.

      Clearly there were mechanical issues . They're timeline does not match the evets correctly , as they have not addressed any core issues . They are saying they accommodated by providing a new rentals , and they accepted each return and provided another based , ( which i should not have been charged for or the original rental rental agreement was valid) . I still have photo , and video evidence that very clearly show mechanical issues they say are not present . These mechanical issues upon return are the root cause for my concern while providing ***************** (UberDriver) .

      We rented a car from this location on 5/2/25 and returned 5/6/25.
      The car was returned around 10:00 am at the Tampa Airport location.
      We had a return flight to Chicago that left at 12:20 pm. Per United airlines, we boarded the flight at 11:37 am. Avis did not list our car as returned until 1:38 pm. There were 6 pay tolls charged to my account, 1st toll was at 12:01 pm, and the last was at 12:48 pm.
      I have contacted Avis 3 times to resolve; we are told someone will return my contact. I did receive one email requesting information. I submitted to them copy of my conversation with United that confirms were scanned our boarding pass at 11:37 am. I submitted a copy of our boarding pass that says the flight was scheduled to take off at 12:20 pm. In reviewing the bill for the tolls, the last toll plaza that was charged was close to 40 miles north of the airport. It was charged 50 minutes prior to what time they claim I returned the car. The only way the car could have been returned at that time, would have needed to be driven back 40 miles south in 50 minutes. It also would have accumulated more tolls to drive back, however no tolls were accumulated. I reached back out to Avis today, the refused the information from United Airlines and want a receipt showing I charged a purchase in the airport at a certain time to proof I was in the airport. Luckly, we did make a purchase in the airport, but my statement does not reflect the time the charge was made.
      We returned the car in time, we boarded the flight at 11:37, there is no way we could have been driving the car at the time stated. Dispute has been filed with my credit card company too.

      I rented a car from *********** in ***********, **. I later extended because I wasnt feeling well and even then so they filed a stolen car report on me. I made an effort to resolve it by calling the 800 number and they told me OK and that I could extend one more time and that the amount would be a little over $1000 And I said OK but they told me that I couldnt do it again. Suddenly I get a call from the security department and theyre demanding to come get my car a few hours early on the same said day and that there would be absolutely no more fees If I did that. Youre welcome to verify both phone calls because now I have a bill thats almost 1500 bucks. I literally cooperated with everything they told me to do even though this whole act was unjustified and they literally did the same thing to my mom. Her name is ****** **** and she lives in ******* *********. And youre welcome to look up that information but she spent $60,000 on a rental and they suddenly just demanded that they repossessed it. So now you guys have successfully screwed both of us over and it seems like this is a normal business practice here and Im tired of dealing with it.

      I arrived at the rental counter at 10am for a 10:30 reservation. I waited in line for nearly two hours (1 hour 55 minutes) to be served at the counter, which then took another 20 minutes. As a result, I missed a long awaited reunion. I called **** to complain and they were not willing to provide me a refund or any compensation. Instead they tried to entice me to rent from them in the future.
