Poor|Feb 2023

When I arrived at the pickup counter at the off-airport site, and declined the Budget insurance, the staff told me I had to show my proof of insurance (i.e., my insurance card or a copy of my personal car insurance policy). I don't travel with those documents. I have rented a car hundreds of times in my life, I ALWAYS decline rental agency insurance because my policy covers rental cars, and I have NEVER been asked to show proof of insurance. I was not advised beforehand of this requirement. The agent at the rental counter was EXTREMELY unhelpful in having me problem solve this issue.

I have never had such a quick and easy pick up/drop off. The staff was courteous, the car was ready and waiting. It was fast and easy. Dropping off was the same. Super easy and they processed the deposit credit very fast. Very happy with this experience!

The front office was unorganized and unprofessional. Car wasn’t ready until three hours after the pick up time.

The car smelled and they didn't have the SUV we ordered so we were in a smaller vehicle.

Reserved the car for noon. When I showed up, there were no cars available. Had to wait until 2pm for a car. This caused a significant delay in our plans for the day as we were going to visit two different tourist attractions outside of Nola. With the delay we were set back and couldn't do the things we had planned. Had to re-route our trip on the fly.

Avis overbooked and did not have the passenger van I rented months head of time for a school group causing extreme difficulty to our group.

Had a reservation but no cars available. Waited about an hour and had to settle for a gas guzzling pickup which added about $20 to the fill up cost.

Car was not ready at pickup , we had no option but to take a car that was in my opinion not comparable to a ford edge. But as avis was closing in the next hour we were forced to take a car less than expected. The car had several issues. One of the tires half-flattened daily and all tires were worn out, hardly any profile. Also issues with the door locks. First time in my life a very bad experience with Avis. Tried to change the car but for these kind of issues Avis cannot be reached.

Our reservation was for 10a and we were not in a car until 11a because there was no car ready for us. The desk person really didn't know how to creatively problem solve and had to wait for a manager who then had to call another location to bring a car - that could have been done at the time the desk person knew there wasn't a car for us to pick up. We were an hour late into getting started and then as a result got caught in a storm that had we left on time we would have avoided. Overall very poor - what is the point of a reservation and appointment if you have no car to rent? If we needed to go to another location you just simply should have told us that and saved us an hour of our life.

1st of all, no one appreciates poor personal skills at a customer service face to face situation. After that, was instructed to the appropriate number to get my vehicle. I see a wheel cover less banged piece of garbage with significant vehicular damage to its quarter panel, a vehicle I personally would be embarrassed to be seen in! I went right back in and told the agent exactly that saying no way am I taking that car. Without an apology, perhaps even expecting me back, they subsequently gave me keys to another vehicle about 4 spots away, a beautiful Hyundai Sonata with all the bells and whistles (except Sirious radio). Why Avis , who I really respect as a rental company, would not have given me that car originally I have no idea. Because of the “2” vehicles involved, my ratings are what they are. Turned out well, but not without unneeded issues. Take that car off the lot Avis, don’t embarrass the company.
