avoid if possible

the app let me book a reservation at 4pm that they knew closed at 4pm. apple maps said they closed at 6pm. I get to the store and it says they closed at 4pm..so why did avis let me make the reservation?! call customer service all they said was sorry oh well. i had to move my trip back a day for pickup the next morning for $20 more after losing a day. no compensation for avis incompetence. I book a reservation at 8AM for another avis location. apple maps says avis opens at 8AM. I get here this morning THEY OPEN AT 9AM SO WHY DID AVIS LET ME BOOK FOR 8AM ?! avis is a joke man 😂👎🏾

Decline in the App’s Ease of Use

The Avis App was very user-friendly, and easy to navigate and understand. Now, there are so many “hidden charges” and “implied conditions” that it greatly benefits the company more than the loyal customer.

Bait and switch at the last minute

I made a reservation over a month ago for a flight to Detroit with a minivan and a child seat and today, less than 24 hours out from my arrival, I got an email that my reservation was modified and the car seat was removed. I didn’t perform this action but when I called the helpline I was informed that ‘changes can’t be made on a reservation booked with points’. Not true, because the reservation was apparently altered by Avis to remove my add-on. I was then told to just show up and see if they have one. If you can’t tell me if my child can safely travel in the car, what backup do I have in the event that there is no seat? I can leave my wife at the airport and go buy a seat for hundreds of dollars to help Avis make a sale? Zero thought for the customer need in this situation. I was told I could also rebook but the app didn’t show the same class of car available, even after cancelling the reservation.

Japan rental

No issues with the app itself, but really should have warned me about the international driving permit requirements in Japan. I was not able to pick up the car because I didn’t have that

App size

The App doesn’t adjust for use in a IPad! It is quite annoying and really a waste of space, while it could have been optimized for the maximum size of the screen.

Just pick a lane, Avis

The Avis app changes/updates too frequently. Every time I go to use the app, a new version is present, passwords must be changed, preferences need updated. I’m loyal to Avis, but the app changes are really starting to drag on me.

Frustrated

It's frustrating when the app shuts itself down when I'm confirming my selection and reserving a vehicle on my phone. This then forces me to repeat my steps on either a laptop or ipad which I don't always carry.

Canadian Customers Beware!

Normally when I rent a car, I use the Avis.ca site and make sure my currency is set to CAD. When in Europe, I used the app to make a reservation and it seems that it defaults to USD and doesn’t show the currency. The app should allow you to change your default currency just like the web site. Typical American company; thinks that the world revolves around the US.

Customer service is awful

I have had the worst experience dealing with their customer service and how dismissive they are. The chat option is horrendous and they will disconnect you without answering any questions. I am still waiting for a response that was over the weeks ago to receive any type of updates. I am leaning more and more to just do ride share for work or personal travel. I am more than disappointed. Why even offer the features if you just plan on dismissing people so quickly without any resolution.
