Nothing to like. Place had 1 staff trying to check-in and issue cars, 15 cars deepnin the process, and they had no cars to rent out. I received a car they had to change before I even left because it had been in an accident that the clerk misses seeing. The car is did take was only 3/8 full. Poorly managed location...avoid using it.Reviewed 4 Jan 2025

I like it. It says there is shuttle service but per review, it's taking long waiting time. So, I took Left and the office is close to the port. Staff is very friendly and no line, All paper work is ready as I registered online. The car is old but comfortable for long distance drive. Return is simple and easy & no any surprising.Reviewed 21 Dec 2024

Kayak and Expedia: talk with Avis and find a way to not take reservations when there are no cars available. I learned this when I arrived at the counter, which caused a great deal of inconvenience. I wasted a lot of time, and time is the only thing I can't recover. If you don't solve this, you'll lose me as a customer, and probably many other people.Reviewed 15 Jul 2024

My experience with Avis Rental Cars at Fort Lauderdale Airport was disappointing. Despite making a reservation, I waited nearly an hour in line for check-in, which seemed excessive given the low number of customers. The staff aggressively pushed extra insurance coverage and were unpleasant when I declined. To make matters worse, the car I was initially given was parked in an aisle where returned vehicles were lined up, making it impossible to pull out. Despite requesting assistance from the staff and searching for the manager, it took an additional 30 minutes to locate and change my reservation to another car. Throughout all of this, the staff showed little concern and were unapologetic. It's frustrating that even with a reservation, it took nearly 1 hour and 30 minutes to leave the airport with my rental. This experience falls far short of expectations, and I won't be choosing Avis for future rentals.Reviewed 26 Mar 2024

Pros:Even with a reservation, I waited 2 hours to get my car. There was only one person working and everyone was pissed. I was in HELL. I only rented because my flight was cancelled. NEVER AVIS again. Enterprise all the way. Also way overpriced especially since it was SUCH a horrible experience. I plan on telling everyone I know to avoid AVIS.Cons:More people working, like 4XReviewed 9 May 2021
