    I would like to thank Debbie that works at Avis for her great hospitality, make me feel like Family. She made sure that I was taken care of and got me back on the road. Thank you, Debbie. She put me in a great car at great prices. I don’t think I’d go anywhere else. And this rental company is located out of Bloomington, Indiana.

    Avis in Sterling Heights, MI. What can I say but praise. I had an exceptional experience with them from start to finish, especially working with Ms. Cindy. When I arrived, she and the staff greeted me warmly, checked me in quickly, and provided all the information I needed without any hassle. Also, with my full-size reservation, she immediately gave me an upgrade to an SUV.

    The vehicle itself was spotless—both inside and out—and drove perfectly throughout my trip. Where I was going, it has AWD which helped because of the snow possibilities. She wanted me to have a vehicle that was safe, reliable, and ready for any weather changes. She was also proactive, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure I had a smooth trip. My wife especially appreciated the extra leg room and extra luggage space! Ms. Cindy, you are truly amazing!! I can’t thank you or the staff enough. There is no doubt I will absolutely be renting from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality service and great value. A truly top-notch rental experience! MS8 rocks!!

      I rented a car from Avis at Casablanca Morocco airport for 10 days. It is very conveniently situated at a walking distance from the airport. The agent Bilal, who spoke fluent English, was very helpful. I got an upgrade to a hybrid car. The paperwork was taken care of promptly and was given good advice by the agent regarding safety in Morocco and thus not needing an additional super insurance. He also advised that it was better to pay cash rather than take a Jawaz pass for tolls as it would be a cheaper and a convenient option.

      The price of the rental for the automatic car was the best amongst all rental agencies at airport. It took a while to get the car as it needed to be washed. Almost an hour’s delay as the car wash opened only at 9.00am. The car was great, the process was fast and the big advantage was the ability to return car, drop keys and catch an early morning flight back home. I was told car wash would be taken care of by them for no extra charge and deposit hold would be released in 4 days which they did. I would highly recommend Avis rental in Casablanca.

      Avis has been my families go-to car rental company for decades. The number of locations, price options, car variety, and customer service is far superior to any other company in the industry, based on my experience. We have used other companies every now and then but there always seems to be an issue whether it's inventory, hidden fees, or just simply nobody working the desk during our drop off or pick up time which has added unnecessary delays and stress. With how much we travel; we need a reliable car rental company we can count on to make the trip as smooth as possible and we have never been disappointed with our experience from Avis.

      Recently, we traveled to Utah to visit family and originally booked a car through Budget as it was bundled with our flight tickets. We landed around 8 pm which was the pickup time we had reserved, but when we got to the Budget counter, they stated they had no cars available. Luckily, our tried-and-true Avis was there to save the day and even gave us a discount even though a different company inconvenienced us. That reminded me again why Avis will always be our first choice.

      I return the Van with no problem and they returned my 200 deposit. 2 weeks later they billed me 450 for cleaning fees. I communicated with Avis budget manager Richard **. He assured me that he would take care of it, but he didn't. Also the customer service reps are unprofessional.

      If you plan to rent a car at the Palermo, Italy airport, DO NOT rent it from AVIS. I prepaid $680 for a car with the insurance coverage through AVIS. When I went to pick up the car, the woman at the counter refused to give me the keys and let me pick up the car I already paid for unless I purchased the Super Collision Coverage and Wind Damage insurance for an additional $923.21. I called AVIS International while I was at the counter and the customer service rep said there was nothing they could do bc it was an open rental. They could fix it and refund the additional $923.21 when the car was returned. I called them and emailed them when I got back to the US and sent them all the proof and information they asked for and now they are ghosting me. Tried to dispute with Capital One but AVIS fought the dispute and Capital One recommended to try again with AVIS.

      Had a rental car that I took from Brighton to Tampa. I rented it for 24 hours. When I got the car it had an empty tank of gas and I was told that it would reflect that in the system. Drove the car to Tampa and turned it in within 24 hours. They proceeded to charge me for 2 days and charge me for an empty gas tank. When I went to dispute it they made the process impossible. I believe they knew what they were doing and that they intentionally scammed me.
