|May 2025After waiting at the reception desk, it appears that we had to pay twice the price that was defined in the online reservation (higher price compare to serious companies like Sixt for instance)! The agent asked us to take a mandatory insurance which was not mentionned online, we had to find a way to use an american credit card because the french one wasn't accepted... That was a very bad experience I don't recommend this company at all.

|Mar 2025Worst experience ever. Had to wait 4 hours to get a car and it was dirty and came with no gas. They also added large fees to the already price we paid. And on top of that the location is outside of the airport and sometimes with traffic it may take you 45 minutes to get to your car or get back to the airport. So stay away from this company

|Feb 2025Awful. They made me wait for 4 hours at the car rental to pick up the car because they only had 2 people working (on a saturday). The customer service was super bad. The only person in the front desk didn't even look at me to respond at my questions. They charged me $30 additional dollars for insurance ( i asked for) and then the receipt showed +$87 dollars. When I asked, he didnt how to explain it to me. I would never ever recommend this car rental. Ever.

|Aug 2023The car was fine. It got great mileage and it was easy to play music off of my phone through car speakers. Pick up and drop off we’re smooth, fast, and easy

|Jul 2023Our car broke down, it was after hours so we couldn’t get a new car. They arranged for the tow but we had to find a new car to rent the next day. There was no follow up after the car was towed. I tried calling the Avis office we rented from but could never get through to speak with someone. When I was able to go to the office in person, there was no apology or acknowledgement that our car had broken down and they didn’t even know if the car had been towed to the right place.

|Mar 2023They gave my car to someone else because I was late to pickup, despite confirming that I would be there and texting the company. Then, even after I had to find another rental car elsewhere, they charged me $50 for absolutely no reason. Their customer service was very lax and unengaged.

|Feb 2023It has been one of the easiest rental car agencies to book, pick up and drop off the car besides the kindness of the crew

|Mar 2026The manager upgraded me to a larger vehicle so that I could fit the 4 passengers and our luggage. The shop was busy and their process to get all the paperwork done was slow and tedious. All employees were friendly.
