Rented a car with them. Got about 6 hours before the back left tire was flat. Had the people come to change it and they said that that car should have never been rented and it was a disaster, waiting to happen. When the people came to change it, they tried to get the specific piece for that specific car out of the back and it was not there so they could not change the tire. I ended up having to wait a couple days until another tow truck came and loaded the car onto the back, then had to ride with them two hours to the nearest shop so that I could get a different car and drive two hours back. They refused to just send a new car to me, and I still ended up paying for more than half of my rental even though I only got to use the car two out of eight days.

Not expecting to be charged a "location surcharge" not mentioned in my Kayak booking. The booking was around 88$ (I recall) the location surcharge is 51£ (about 65USD) so the booking for the car is almost double. How can one rely on Kayak when making a booking?

A couple of hours after returning our vehicle to an unmanned drop off location, we received an email claiming there was damage on the vehicle. We will fully dispute this claim through all legal avenues. It is deeply disappointing that Avis representatives would seek to fraudulently abuse foreign tourists in this way.
