Screen shot of how "Avis does business".
Robert G.

This is a reflection of the HR/Recruiter side of the company, and since this is the location (LAX) I was set to work at THIS COMING THURSDAY, 17th of July, it's only fitting that this review is specifically aimed at this particular LAX based location. So after numerous interviews and almost 3 weeks in total, the best Avis can do is a half baked, half-assed text resending the job offer for absolutely no legitimate reason whatsoever. (See the text-pictured). And while it's certainly legal to do so, it shows you the depths at which Avis operates, both from an internal point of view towards their own "prospective employees", as well as from the customers on the other side about to make a big mistake and actually give them their business and rent a car here from them. Just look at the reviews people. When you're that far in the hole with that many negative comments, you know something's up. The text (pictured) from the Avis Recruiter goes on to mention some hogwash about why they would have to rescind the job offer (I was set to begin work as a sales agent on July 17). you would think that common decency would have had them either place a phone call or at the very least an email. No, not avis, they're bottom dwellers, so they're going to employ the absolute least amount of effort or energy. No consideration whatsoever. Now I, (and hopefully you)...will see why there's such a miserable and low down company. But when you're in need of a job, and seeking employment, you really don't go on here and look for reviews from a customer's standpoint. Now I wish I did, but still consider myself fortunate enough not to have wasted any time under the "Avis False Flag"! Do yourself a favor and run like the plague from this company. DO NOT ENGAGE IN BUSINESS with Avis rental especially here at LAX. To conclude, the new facility is an absolute nightmare anyways, so unless you plan on meeting Freddy Krueger and chopping it up with him for a bit, do yourself a favor and rent elsewhere.

Tried to get 3 premium suvs for our large group. We rode a shuttle to Avis with a reservation only to have to wait almost 3 hours while we see people go in and out. One of the guys in our group ask what is the hold up and was told we have to basically make sure you can pay for the vehicle. After waiting the guy handling our order suddenly left the counter and we were told a hour later he was in the restroom. Grant it we are traveling with 14 kids and they are very restless, we have been at the airport in Houston since 4 am. That's 12 hours, I went back to ask the status and the other worker and she said she is handling our case. This is bad business when we clearly have everything they needed. 4+ hours later we got two premium suv

I'm an Avis President's Club member who rented a vehicle on 12/12 from the new LAX Consolidated Rental Facility, with a return on 12/15. I usually rent a midsize car, but Avis assigned me to a Ford Expedition, a very large SUV. So I requested a smaller vehicle and was offered a Jeep Wagoner. I thought that would be fun to drive, but I regretted it soon after I left the garage given the excessive tire noise. But this isn't why I gave them one star. I returned the Jeep 30 minutes before my scheduled return time and the Avis employee scanned my car and said the receipt would be emailed. That usually happens in only a few minutes. When I got home about six hours later, I noticed the receipt was never sent. I went to the Avis app to see if I could access it there. This is when I discovered they thought I still had the car and hadn't returned it. I spoke with the Avis President's desk on three occasions to try and get this rectified. I finally received an email on 12/25 with my receipt. Ten days after my rental ended. I was fearful that Avis would accuse me of stealing the vehicle. Fortunately that didn't happen. I told Avis that they film all cars entering and exiting the garage, so they have proof that I returned it. I noticed an option on the app to use when you return the car. I plan to use that on future rentals, plus taking a picture of the odometer. The lesson I learned? Don't assume the Avis employee will do what they say.

SCW and I used Avis during our recent trip to Santa Barbara. Upon exiting LAX you'll go to the dedicated pickup area for rental cars (I think it was purple zone when we were there) and await pickup. And await we did. Our flight got in around mid day and we waited a good 15-20 minutes for the shuttle. Quite literally many other companies rental car shuttles came by a few times before the packed Avis shuttle arrived. When it did arrive, packed it was, and made several more stops with more people coming and going. They really need to get more shuttles/drivers. Once we arrived at the facility there are two stops, one for preferred members and one for everyone else. Fortunately I am a preferred member but it really didn't save much time. After waiting in line for about 15 minutes (there literally was one person checking everyone in) we got our car, which turned out to be an upgrade from the one I reserved. That was nice as it was a Jeep Cherokee Hybrid. Not something I wanted, or needed but I actually quite enjoyed it. It was clean, low mileage and comfortable. Would have been nice if they had plugged it in to charge the battery, but anyways. Return was quick, they had far more agents at the back end. We got our stuff and we went on our way. We didn't take the return shuttle as we were staying the night at a nearby hotel for a very early morning flight back. I would probably rent here again but a drawback is the frequency of the airport shuttles and staffing on the front end.

Saying I hate enterprise is an understatement- these people don't even deserve one star. CALLING…read moreTHEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT GETS YOU NO WHERE-I AM PROOF. Their branch in Miami airport is a flaming dumpster fire (have called customer service 5x no resolution ) - Miami gave us a broken car with a faulty engine - and the enterprise at LAX isn't any better. I lost a custom dog collar in the Range Rover we rented. Immediately called them and filled a form online. Got a message hours later that they didn't find it- a month later got a call from a guy saying he found a dog collar in the Range Rover as he'd accidentally dropped his credit card between the seat . He was kind enough to contact me and send it to me via mail (what was left of it) What I got back was basically a few stones and my dog's tag. Some certified a hole ripped up the collar, made a piece of jewelry for themselves with the clasp and then dropped the pieces they didn't want back in the car. I hope you go to hell. So, not only does enterprise not do their job when it comes to lost and found- either the employees themselves or the people renting cars are kleptomaniacs and steal valuables. Humanity is in a sad place if someone doesn't have money to buy a necklace and steals a chain made for a dog. Enterprise is a disgusting organization and anyone who works for them is inept. A bunch of criminals work here. Truly the worst of humanity and low IQ. Oh and their lost and found doesn't have a phone number. I can't even imagine the things they've stolen from customers / had stolen by the people that rent their cars due to their inability to do their job. This corporation is a subsection of the worst of humanity. * Also in response to Nellie- what a liar. You guys aren't going to do ANYTHING. No one has reached out to me I keep having to chase to get help or a response. LIARS. "Be prepared to share" - what a joke

Great customer service, good cars and ver reasonable one-way dropoff rates…read more Give them a try - we are happy we did.

The worse experience I've ever had with a rental car company. My experience with SIXT at LAX was…read moreextremely frustrating and disappointing. When I arrived, there was no line, and I was helped immediately. I thought I was going to have a quick and easy rental experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. After providing my driver's license, I was told that SIXT could not rent a vehicle to me because of the condition of my ID. My ID is legitimate, chipped, scannable, swipeable, and completely legible. I also had my passport with me as additional identification. At no point was I informed of any alternative forms of identification that may have been accepted, such as a temporary paper ID or an expired ID. The policy was not clearly explained, and based on what I read, my ID met the requirement of being legible. What made the situation even worse was that I had booked through a third-party service and traveled to the rental facility with my two young children and a car seat. I spent approximately $50 on a Lyft to get there and another $50 on an immediate return Lyft because I did not feel safe standing around the busy shuttle and traffic areas with my children. The entire experience cost me time, money, and a great deal of stress. I was already dealing with the loss of a loved one that same day and was trying to travel to be with my family. Instead, I was left stranded in Los Angeles while the rest of my family was together. I felt defeated and emotionally exhausted. I can't help but feel that assumptions may have been made about me. I was grieving, tired, traveling with children, and probably looked disheveled. Whether intentional or not, I left feeling judged and unfairly treated. I firmly believe that additional effort could have been made to verify my identity and complete the rental. I just didn't have the strength to go back and forth with the employee about their policy at that time. I don't usually leave reviews for companies, especially bad ones. But to know I had other options and wasn't presented with the alternatives led me straight to yelp. I've rented from Hertz, Alamo, and Enterprise many times and have never experienced anything like this. Those companies have always treated me professionally and worked with me to resolve issues. This was my first experience with SIXT, and unfortunately it will also be my last. If you are booking through Priceline or another third-party service, I strongly recommend researching SIXT reviews beforehand and making sure you fully understand their identification requirements before arriving. Had I known this would be my experience, I would have chosen a different rental company from the start. Because even when they have time to provide the best customer service, they didn't do it for me. The other reviews reflect they should service the customer better as well.

DJ went out of his way to personally locate the vehicle, investigate what happened, and make sure the rental was properly closed out. It turns out the original check-in was never processed. DJ showed exceptional customer service, professionalism, and genuine care. He didn't brush me off or pass me along, he owned the situation and fixed it. Cristina also assisted and was helpful throughout the process. Because of DJ, what started as a frustrating experience ended on a positive note. Employees like them make a huge difference.

That's how I decided to rent a car from Fox Rent A Car. I caught the free shuttle outside of Terminal 6 at LAX. It did seem like other rental car companies had more shuttles pass by, but not a huge difference. The clerk that helped me was friendly and efficient. I found my assigned car fairly easily and rode off uneventfully. So far so good! I didn't even have to fill my tank up yet. Haha! I will fill it on my own instead of paying $5.99 per gallon of gasoline of they fill my tank. I'm quite sure that I can find a lower price than $5.99.

I waited about 10 minutes. Once at the location, the line moved fairly quickly to get to the counter. I must have arrived at an off-peak time, the line was short. The cars are located in a large warehouse, so they are out of the sun and are not baking hot. They have you fill out a damage form to show any existing issues with the vehicle and then hand it to the attendant on the way out of the lot. I made sure to be very detailed in my walk through, just to be safe. Returning to the lot is simple, just pull in on the same road the shuttle came in on. The lot attendant will take the keys and finish up the transaction. The shuttle back to the airport picks you up from a canopy by that driveway. Overall, it went well. Just make sure to give a little extra time for transportation to and from the airport.
