many hidden fees plus an insane charge for gas which unfortunately I had to pay because I was late to the airport due to traffic and couldn't refuel. I won't be using Avis ever againReviewed 26 Nov. 2023

First reservation never happened, could have been a Kayak issue, but showed up and had no car. Had to book another car. After turning in the car, I have not been invoiced and I am having to chase Avis to "Close out the rental"Reviewed 16 Oct. 2023

Pros:Pick-up was a nightmare. Location: 4664 West Gandy Blvd. Suite 2, Tampa, FL 33611 This is a privately owned location and the proprietor IS running a racket. I was dropped off by a relative to pick up my vehicle. I observed the attendant telling the customers ahead of me that he was out of stock on the car they had booked and so they would have to upgrade to a different model vehicle. When it came to be my time, he tried the same thing, claiming he was out of the economy car that I had reserved online through the booking system. I told him I could not afford to upgrade, nor is it the customer's fault that he was out of the proper vehicles as he "claimed." I also saw a car outside that was the make and model which I was supposed to get, so he was obviously withholding. I called AVIS. They said I could try elsewhere and they'd reimburse me if the charge was less. I booked through Enterprise just in case. Little did I know Enterprise was a quarter of the mile down the road. The attendant at AVIS should have had the courtesy to tell me. Stranded, I waited. The attendant took his time with other customers. I WAITED 2.5 HOURS for him to give me the vehicle that was sitting in the front parking lot! I HAD TO ASK HIM WHO IT WAS FOR -- he said someone had prepaid and was supposed to pick it up before he closed at 2:00 p.m. It was a Saturday so he closed early. First of all, the customer who is present is always served, not some person who "might" show up. Also, I saw him scam a young couple who came in to pick up their reservation. He told them he was out of the car they had booked and they needed to upgrade! I nice additional 200 dollars or more. He should have comped the upgrade. The customer is NEVER penalized because the company runs out of cars (which was a lie). This service is terrible. Again, I witnessed the owner pull this scam on four different customers. He didn't want to give me the car because he knew I'd gotten a good deal and I was holding my ground. At one point he became condescending when I told him that I'd been waiting 2.5 hours and to wait on me instead of taking another customer. He ignored me! I then asked, "Why are you ignoring me?!" He then said, "You're the one who wouldn't upgrade!" I told him I shouldn't have to; that it wasn't ethical. I insisted I get the car that was waiting outside. He was not happy. He gave it to me completely dirty. It hadn't been vacuumed or sanitized. I took pictures. Send in a secret shopper to see what he is pulling. FYI: He loves to talk and comes across as friendly--it's an act! He needs to be reported because it is not fair to customers or AVIS/BUDGET.Cons:An honest owner.Reviewed 6 May 2021

Pros:Nothing, no customer service AT ALL!!!!!!!! It was wrong location pick up instead at the Tampa airport, the airport AVIS rep offer me the same car for the DOUBLE PRICE!!!! When I went to the pick up location, spend $40.00 on Uber, who is going to compensate my inconvenience?, the location was closed. When I called the next day, the service rep told me that car was not available and hang up the phone. Will NEVER use your service in the future and posted the same response on all the social media. Your service is horrible and the worth it could be.Cons:Provide the customer service and about customers.Reviewed 18 Apr. 2021

• Where is the best place to pick up my vehicle after I book Avis car rentals in Tampa?

  It should come as no surprise that one of the most convenient options for picking up your vehicle will be at the Tampa international airport. The reason for this is that Avis has a location at the remote car rental center at the airport that passengers at the airport can access by the SkyConnect train. For travelers already in the Tampa area that don't want to head back to the airport to pick up a car, there is an Avis location right in the center of Tampa on S. Florida Ave. that makes a great pick-up choice.

• What are some of the perks of choosing to book Avis car rentals in Tampa?

• Where is a good place to park my rental in Tampa?

  A really nice thing about driving in this southern Florida town is that there are so many great free places to park on streets in the areas surrounding central Tampa. As you get into the heart of Tampa, you will find metered parking in most areas. The cost for metered parking is generally around $1.50 to $2.50 per hour, depending on your location. Most metered parking in the downtown area operates seven days per week from early in the morning until around midnight. Because most meters have a time limit on how long you can park, for longer trips in the downtown area, select one of the many parking lots you will find in this area that offer the ability to park for up to a full day in the downtown area.
