    Screengrab from my rental contract.  Clearly shows the damage occured well before I picked it up.

    Renting the car was OK, and it was fine. A little dirty maybe, but nothing terrible. The real fun started a month after I returned the car. I get a letter stating that I owed 629 dollars for glass damage. I looked the car over at drop-off and there was nothing like that. I dig a little deeper and realize that according to the pictures they sent of the car/damage that the mileage was 43,667. Well, nice scam attempt, but the mileage when I picked up was 44,943! I will say I called customer service and explained this and the rude lady agreed to not charge me the $629 and I was sent that letter "by mistake." Yeah right, you tried to scam me! Doing some research, this is a fairly common scam. I've already contacted BBB, Costco Travel and will be contacting my credit card and posting on social media. Pathetic, sad and disgusting business practices from AVIS!!!!!

    Wow. Where to begin. Lady with the tattoo on her chest is a NIGHTMARE. Rented me the wrong vehicle. The correct vehicle was in the parking lot - took a picture of it. Went back in to explain that I had paid for a TOYOTA 4 RUNNER OR COMPARABLE FULL SIZE SUV - they gave me a Hyundai hatchback. I already own a hatchback that size, wasn't gonna cut it. The manager told me TOUGH. I was livid, didn't want to return the car because she said there would be a high % return fee. So I called Avis customer support and after an hour finally got someone to agree to 35% off. I return the vehicle, money settles, there's ZERO discount. I call and they tell me that the discount is ACTUALLY variable. On hold for 90 minutes projected wait time. To talk to a supervisor. All in hopes that they don't screw me. I guess at worst I can file a claim with the bank since they didn't offer the service they claimed to provide - it's not like I'll be renting here ever again - but BET if I'm pissed enough to do this, I'll be doing a whole YouTube video and podcast episode on it too getting into the nitty gritty. Social media stroke is absolutely worthless and lame EXCEPT in situations where you gotta remind corporate Johnny that they can't just go being bullies. I AINT DONE AVIS. And tattoo chest, I hope you learn a very strong lesson in how to treat folks. I am currently extremely sick and dealing with high stress stuff makes me extra sick. I went in that day to get the car dressed like I like rolled out of bed - but you never know who is who based on their looks or what they're going through - or what they're willing to go through when wronged.

    Here he is texting on his phone

    Our Avis rental broke down, and we were able to get the car started and got to the Bakersfield Meadows Field Airport. We got a notification that a replacement vehicle was waiting for us. My husband went in and was told by the agent that he declined our exchange. We are more than 200 miles from home. Our car is malfunctioning, and the agent here decided the was going to decline the replacement. When the agent we had been talking to on the phone said he was able to set up a lyft for us to take us to Burbank (112 miles away) to get a replacement we tried to leave the keys with the agent at the airport but he refused to take the keys, even when the Avis agent on the phone called him and asked. This guy was rude throughout our interaction, has zero customer service or empathy, and is overall a jerk. He wasn't wearing a name badge and did not give his name.

    I've rented from this location more times than I can count and now try hard to only go when Aaron and Tikka are there because they try very hard to make sure you're happy.

    Short wait at the desk to get to the clerk. Friendly clerk. He told me to go to # so and so to get…read moremy car, that part was over with quick. Then I go outside to # so and so, and there is no car waiting there - seems like someone done grand theft auto'ed things out from under me. So I briskly sashayed back into the counter while he is with another customer, tell him we have a problem, and then he comes outside with me to confirm that there is no car in the spot he told me to go to. He eventually figured out where the car was, not in the spot where he told me it would be, and I am not a gat dang lost car detective. Returning the vehicle was much smoother. Friendly (different) clerk who checked in the car and said she would e-mail my receipt so I could get it reimbursed before I would even be through security, which she did. Besides the problem with the missing car at the beginning that took some unnecessary additional time, that was making me later than I already was from all of the delays etc. with the airlines, this was an overall good experience as usual with Enterprise, unlike the Daedric/dystopian/eldritch nightmare that Hertz is always ready to unleash on you as a customer.

I always reserve a compact, but I was kindly sent out to a spacious Edge, great car. Enterprise is always reliable with cars that smell good (I'm allergic to smoke) and are spotless inside, with friendly associates. Great location. Super easy pick up and drop off on sight at the airport.

    Thank you Alberto and the entire priceless staff! This was my first time booking with priceless, I…read moreusually book with hertz! At first I was a little skeptical, I've rented from small companies in LA. ALWAYS A DISASTER. I can't say that about this priceless, because I have a local license there was a mileage cap. I didn't mind the mileage cap for local renters. I was still able to go to morro bay to visit my dad. Back to Bakersfield, then to Oxnard and back to Bakersfield. If you're honestly using the car for simple driving you'll be okay. After talking to Alberto I truly understand why they have a mileage cap. Being a smaller company the cars they have in inventory are important to their day to day operation. I actually loved how quick the pickup process was! A day before I flew in I was contacted by the company. I signed all rental docs, sent my license and insurance documents. When I arrived for pickup it was so smooth and fast! I received a 2024 Toyota cross, very good on gas. Got great gas mileage, car was clean! Fully loaded gps, Bluetooth, nice big face screen. The weekly rate was over a hundred dollars cheaper than hertz, Avis and enterprise. I'm thankful I took the chance, I saved money and now have a cheaper place to rent from. Once again thank you Alberto and team! I'll see y'all when I come back home to visit.

    I'm happy I tried this place out and did not listen to the reviews. We had to head out of town this…read morepast weekend and did not want to put miles on our personal vehicle. Check-in was easy just make sure you keep an eye on your email a few days prior so you can submit all your information and documents. Pricing was amazing especially for the weekend! Way more affordable and then other big corporations such as enterprise or Hertz. The only downfall is they do charge $40 if you are paying with your debit card but still way more affordable compared to the competitors. Customer service was amazing. I was running late pick up and was not able to pick up my schedule time and they totally worked with me. me an amazing clean car drove like a dream so comfortable and great on gas. I definitely will be using them again for any future rental needs.
