Avis gave me a reservation for 36 days of renting a car at a specific price. Some days after the car was returned, I realized they had split the 36 days into two separate rentals, with a total price increase of $69, about 7.5%, The rental office at McCellan Palomar airport in Carlsbad, CA, has not been helpful. Partly they do not recognize that their charges should simply be equal to their reservation. Partly they do not recognize that a limitation in their billing system (no rentals longer than 31 days) does not entitle Avis to increase its price. Lastly they claim that only Corpoate can adjust the second rental to make the total price equal to the reservation. So now I must chase at another place.Reviewed 12 Apr. 2023

The car was ridiculously underpowered and getting to speed on a California Freeway was a struggle!Reviewed 2 Aug. 2021

I found the drop off a little confusing. There were not enough directional signs. The person who took the keys was very nice however nothing identified her as an Avis representative so it was unnerving leaving the keys with her.Reviewed 27 Jul. 2021

Cons:When I booked I put in arrival at San Diego airport and you booked me out of Carlsbad which is an hour away from the airport! Avis was good enough to find a car for me but it was over $100 more than my booking price!!! That is why I booked online and ahead of time to get a decent rate.Reviewed 29 Jul. 2019

Cons:Main issue was that the price rose 200% when I went to pick up the car. Instead of about $250 the rental cost closer to $500. Very disappointed with the outrageous charges for changing pick up location. I expected a small variation but the resulting fees were astronomical.Reviewed 28 Jun. 2019
