AVIS LAX zero stars
I would give AVIS at LAX zero stars if that were possible.
In January, I picked up a rental car at Los Angeles Airport. Unfortunately, the experience was highly disappointing and deeply unprofessional.
The wait time was extremely long, and when we finally reached the counter, the car was not ready. I had booked the vehicle through my travel agency with full insurance coverage, a full tank of gas, and the rental was fully prepaid. The arrangement was very clear: I only needed to collect the car. The employee at the counter explicitly confirmed this, and my entire group heard him state that everything was prepaid and fully covered.
When we eventually received the vehicle, it smelled strongly of marijuana. The odor was so severe that we immediately returned to the counter and requested another car. To their credit, we were given a replacement vehicle.
However, after returning home, I checked my bank account and was shocked to discover that AVIS had charged me more than $1,000 for insurance and fuel — services that had already been prepaid through my travel agency. This is completely unacceptable.
Charging a customer twice for the same services is not only poor customer service, it is unethical business practice. The handling of the rental at the counter was misleading and unprofessional, and the additional charges were never clearly communicated or authorized.
This experience reflects very poorly on the management and standards at AVIS LAX. I expect transparency, honesty, and professionalism when renting a car — especially when everything is prepaid in advance.
I cannot recommend this location and strongly advise other travelers to carefully review their final charges.
