Quick convenient and so easy to work with! Albert - excellent service! Called, they answered ", processed the registration over the phone and tried to get my family the best price! Highly recommend Avis rental service read more

Options in Camarillo are extremely limited when it comes to car rental. It's either Avis/Budget or Enterprise. When I usually get a vehicle from Avis/Budget, the gentleman who is usually behind the counter (unfortunately his name slips my mind at the moment) is very professional and there's usually no issues with my rental. Unfortunately this past weekend, I had to make a last minute reservation on Saturday night (right before the Memorial Day weekend) and Avis/Budget was the only rental place openn the following Sunday morning. Upon arrival, I was told that there was several of us who made reservations that Saturday night. I reserved my vehicle for 9AM, I arrived around 9:15. They did not have inventory and we were told to come back at 10:30 to see if any vehicles become available. I call at 10:30 and told no vehicles were returned. I was then told to attempt again at 11:30. So I call again at 11:30, then told again, nothing has come in. The following day (Monday), the location is closed. Customer Service advises me that my reservation was canceled and I would be required too make another reservation. I asked who canceled my reservation as I was not informed by the location at all that my reservation would be canceled. So, not only was I allowed to make a reservation when there should've been something in place to not allow it, especially if you're out of inventory, they canceled my reservation without even telling me that was going to happen. So I make a reservation Monday night, to pick up for Tuesday. Upon arrival, Albert who appears to be going to a sporting event (guess there's no dresscode for this location), greets me. I tell him my situation and see if there's anything he can do for the inconvenience and he couldn't explain why no one informed me about canceling my reservation, simply shrugged, and said sorry. Then, as I was I filling my paperwork, he gets to the point of where I signing off on possible damage that's on the vehicle. I've rented plenty of times here and Enterprise, and they always bring the vehicle lot and have you go over it before you sign off on damage on the car. He directed me to to to the back and check the vehicle, and of course, there's a rag in the vehicle. Customer service (besides the gentleman I mentioned), needs to be retaught at this location. I might have to just pay more for Enterprise, at least they seem to care about how they treat their customers. read more

Car smelled of cigarette smoke the entire time I had it. Then when I returned it they said it wasn't a complete full tank of gas because the marker was at the bottom of the fill line and they made me go back to the gas station to top it off. Said they couldn't compensate me or do anything in exchange for giving me a car that smelled of smoke. If you can avoid using them I'd do business elsewhere. Nothing but a bad experience here read more

They have the worst customer service and the rude person on the counter named Kelsey. I had a later reservation and the front desk didn't want to help me. Very disappointed and frustrated with their service read more

Excellent customer service at Camarillo location. John behind the counter was amazing. Very straightforward and easy to deal with. I highly recommend the Budget/Avis establishment at the Camarillo location. read more

John's the best. Very friendly, Great knowledge, and excellent customer service. Cars are clean and well taken care of. No complaints.

My conversation with Avis/Budget on the morning of my reservation: I received a voicemail from John at Avis/Budget this morning. He left this message a few hours before pick up.. "I was I was calling about your reservation for today unfortunately I am out of vehicles at the moment For For today If you have any questions Give me a call 805987 7214 Have a Have a good day talk to you later..." I called back and spoke to John. A: "What do you mean you have no vehicle for me? I made this reservation 5 days ago." J: I have no vehicle for you. A: I don't understand. Why don't you have a car for me? J: I have no control over people not bringing their vehicles back. A: So why did you allow a reservation to go through if you don't have enough vehicles? What is your solution for issues like this? J: People can change their reservations and extend it. We have no control over that. I called you this morning to help you out! I could've let you come to the counter at noon and told you then. But I'm helping you by giving you a call!" A: You're calling me the morning of my reservation. This doesn't help me. And it's your job to call your customers! I have to get home today and now I'm stuck here because of your incompetency. Wish I was on a rotating phone so I can slam the receiver to hang up on him. I feel so defeated. Just another reminder of how apathetic these companies are to the average consumer like me. 0 stars given!!!!!! read more

****Camarillo Avis never again**** They also rent budget. This time I returned my rental ensuring any trash was removed. Previous post where John complained that I left an empty soda bottle in the car. I was out in the desert for the week on travel for work. It was windy and dusty. I returned the car to the Camarillo Avis. John happened to be outside and told me I need to wash the car or a 125 dollar charge. It annoyed the hell out me. I have returned rental cars over the years through rain and snow no issue or charge to clean the exterior. This guy is just lazy. He reduced the charge to 75 dollars. I truly miss Alex who ran this establishment prior to John. Below is the picture of my rental as returned. I going to see what corporate Avis can do, 1st tier unsuccessful, 2nd tier tomorrow. Work will pick up the charge so it's not money out of my pocket; it is the principle. read more

John and his staff are excellent. Don't let the small size fool you. You'll get fantastic, personalized service. Going to the larger hubs is always a wake-up call for how good this office is. read more

Don't rent an electric vehicle! There are no chargers in this city. They charged me $30 because I used 13% of battery. Such a rip off. They didn't tell me this when I picked up car at Burbank. read more

Fast & friendly service . Clean , new cars , With a Full Gas tank to start with will definitely use them again in the future ....

They were very friendly and professional in my dealings with them. They stayed when I was 1 minute late and had no way to get home. They were calm and helpful when I was frazzled after my own car was un drivable after an accident. I would rent from them again. The Malibu I got as a rental had some tech and had apple play and android so I was able to sync my phone and music. No complaints at all. read more

This is for AVIS in general, not a specific location. Bad customer service. Very condescending and arrogant. Not helpful at all. Had to call multiple times for the same issue. When it came to billing they are very deceiving. The worst experience I ever had in terms of rentals. NEVER AGAIN will I use AVIS. P.S. I'm not a person who writes reviews. This is my first but I felt super overwhelmed talking with them and not being heard so I decided to leave a review. read more

I have been renting vehicles on a regular basis from Avis. I have been very impressed with how easy the process is. The employees are always very helpful. I have been dealing with John most of the time and he is awesome! read more

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RUDE OWNER!!!! they are not willing to help if there's a problem. they overcharged us and the owner said because we rented the car in san antonio and it's prepaid, they cannot do anything and we have to straighten it out with them. the owner said she has nothing to do with san antonio because they are a corporate and she is an independent owner for avis company. all i can say is this avis location - their customer service SUCKS and they do not care about their customers!! It ALL starts from the owner herself being RUDE that's why her staff is that way ... RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, and DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS!!!! read more

The Camarillo branch a guy is so rude and just slaps charges left and right without explanation charge me all kind of fees late fee when I returned the car on time never again will I use this rental place I'll give them more review later. read more

Incompetent staff. Took us 40 min to drop off our car, with no line! First guy we spoke to said he couldn't help us because it was his 'first day'. I walked into their back office to see whether I could get some help and saw the staff watching a movie on their lounge TV. Avoid this place! read more

I've had reoccurring issues with this location. The first incident occurred while on government travel. The vehicle was filthy. The representative acknowledged it was filthy and offered another vehicle for an additional fee. I asked that he cancel my reservation and walked out. The second incident occurred while renting a personal vehicle. We booked the vehicle through USAA. The individual at the counter complained about the price and asked how we expected him to stay in business with those rates. He than proceeded to rent us a filthy vehicle. Dead bugs, bird droppings, dirt, and dust on the outside. Spilled soda, food, and debri on the inside. Having previously worked in the industry I decided it was time to contact corporate. They were beyond accommodating and genuinely concerned. Corporate immediately issued certificates and contacted the district manager regarding our less than stellar experience. read more

Based on past reviews , I happened to reserve a car for Budget and this wonderful associate name John was able to do a price comparison and I must say he "saved" me some costs! He was very friendly and informative. He wasnt seeking to just lock me into a high cost contract. I didnt feel rushed when asking various questions regarding different returns dates and locations. Do highly recommend this location. John your customer service was "High Quality!" read more

Avis offers great car rental service. They are efficient and friendly. When they didn't have the car I had scheduled they were able to offer me an upgrade with no charge. I was able to rent very last minute on several occasions and they always pull through. I've only ever encountered one mix up with location of drop if but was easily cleared up. The office it's self could use a little up lift in decor but it's a car rental place you want to be in and out and good to go on the road and that's what they're good at. It's nice they are open in Sunday's. read more

My experience has been consistently outstanding--just like Dawn's. Alex could not be more helpful. I reserve a Premium car and he typically offers me a choice of a few different cars so I get to drive something different every time. His reviews of what each's strengths and weaknesses are is spot on as well. I've rented here a dozen times in the last year, never waited more than a couple of minutes in out. I do remember a long line behind me at opening time once, so I avoid doing that. I would also never pay those ridiculous prices for gas, so I fill up down the street before returning the car. Couple the great service with the way better rates that Avis offers, all the bonus deals they send to my eMail, and the result is that I probably send more friends to this place than any business in town. Taking your own car on any long trip makes absolutely no sense! read more

I rented at this location ONLY because my usual place was booked up. I called to make sure they had vehicles available (after an issue at the Avis in the Oxnard airport) and specifically asked if they had the smallest size/cheapest because I couldn't remember if it was classified as economy or compact which I made clear to him. The guy I spoke with said they did have it and offered a price $15 higher than what's online. I told him I'd reserve online instead and gave him my name. When I went to pick up there was no greeting or acknowledgement whatsoever from him. He walked out while there were two other people waiting ahead of me. Fifteen minutes later her assists me and doesn't apologize for the wait. He tells me I reserved the smallest size, but he doesn't have it. That I didn't ask for a sub-compact car. WHERE AND WHAT IS THAT OPTION??? Then he tells me he'll give me the car he has without charging the difference, but next time he will charge me. He lectured me on this for about five minutes before handing me the keys to a small versa. It wasn't exactly a luxury vehicle so I'm confused as to why he spoke to me like I'm a child. Won't be back. read more

If there were negative stars, I'd use it all on this review. My family & I put 2 cars on reserve last night, via Avis Budget website. Drove 30mins to pick up the entrusted vehicles. Upon arrival, we were informed the vehicles had been rented out. We tried to get a solid answer on what happened. Henry? could not give an explanation & constantly cut me off every single time I tried to ask any question. He was rude, clothes were extremely baggy, customer service less than poor, & did not seem trained in the slightest. His actions spoke as if he was trying to start a fight. The entire experience was pathetic. It's not a difficult job. The person at the front desk must be friendly because they are setting the tone for the company experience. Common sense. Please get it together read more

so annoying when you fill up the tank until it stops and then drive 4 miles to the center, and then get told it will be $19 extra charge because the gas is below full and 7/8 tank is charged that amount. Never mind that i rent 50 cars a year or more from AVIS read more

As a business traveler living in Camarillo I've been renting at the Avis Camarillo for over a decade. When Alex ran this operation everything was great. Friendly customer service and everything was always on point. Ever since the new management took over a few years ago everything about the location has suffered. I got accustomed to the borderline contentious service and attitude from the counter agents. But today was the final straw. Congratulations Avis Camarillo, you've lost me as a customer. This place has become the most unfriendly, unaccommodating, hillbilly hell hole. Customers are treated like an annoyance by the generally disheveled staff who typically have their child there with them, dirty stained clothes on, no longer allow entry through the rear door, have a basketball hoop blocking the parking area, and tell you that they don't have to honor your reservation if you arrive a few minutes late. It's a car rental, not a flight. The fact that they no longer offer drop off and pick up service at your residence takes away anything unique about this Avis. I know they say they still offer it but every time I've called to schedule a drop off or pick up in the past 3 years, Avis says they cannot accommodate me at that time. Which leads me to the assumption that they no longer offer it. Based on other reviews written they have experienced the same. If you want a friendly experience and a clean car I recommend choosing any other rental location in town. There's a Herz location in the same parking lot and I will have my work set up my rentals through them from now on. read more

Just verified with the local avis guy on the phone- they cannot guarantee a ride back to your residence, even with 24hr notice. Why offer a ride to/fm if you cannot deliver? If I knew, hertz or enterprise close by would have been my choice. read more

I rented a car from this Avis a few weeks ago and had a great experience. We wanted to upgrade to a SUV and were given several choices that were all reasonably priced. Everyone at the store was really nice and friendly. Pick up an drop off were hassle free. We were so glad that we rented from here instead of the airport. read more

I wish I could give no stars at all horrible service you book a car and they call you one hour before to tell you that they don't have the vehicle without an apology or with an alternative just a bunch of excuses you book it too late I was busy I came at 8 and didn't have time to help you very unprofessional beware of Avis and the BAD practices again customers ... read more

You have a shitty service at Camarillo location . Employees can't help at all and just cut you off and don't give a good explanation on why they couldn't rent the car . Glad I went to enterprise , an hour and a half late to where I needed to be this weekend . Client after me was disappointed too . Don't recommend your service to anyone . Reserved two days in advance and it was terrible running around trying to find a vehicle for the weekend . read more

Worst rental experience ever -- over $50 in hidden fees. Very rude from the moment I walked in. Will never use this service ever again.

Another bad experience at Avis. New rule you can't walk through the back even though they leave it open. All the cars are in the back so it only makes sense. Also, apparently I'm responsible to throw away my empty soda bottle. The comment from the counter clerk, "I'm not a maid." This is probably the reason why the cars I get are so dirty. Yes, I miss Alex and customer service. I will use Uber/Lyft in the future for any short hauls. read more

Quick service and never had any issues picking up or dropping off my vehicle. Their hours are a bit short some days but you can drop off at an alternative location. I have done many rentals here and never had an issue. read more

I'm a veteran who has rented from this Avis location multiple times without incident. John and Aly are the customer service representatives that work here, and they have always been kind, courteous and accommodating. John stayed late once to take in my last minute return, which was a free truck upgrade when a compact wasn't available.. That's service above and beyond in my book. There are some other rental agencies in town that have failed to pick me up in the past, but I have never had an issue here, and I will refer others. PS: Those Yelpers who complain about this agency are probably idiots who were rude to begin with, trust me. read more

This place takes all the hassle out of traveling. Everyone that works here is kind, understanding, and wonderful at their job. When I used this Avis I would be traveling for work and going here was the easiest part of all of it. They were also extremely flexible with changing my vehicle if I needed, when they had the means to. I traveled so much with work that I've been to at least 20 different car rentals and this is the best one I've ever been to, hands down. read more

Wonderful and professional service from John when I picked up our SUV Friday night. Thank you

Renter beware! I have rented from this Avis in the past with no problems. This time the incompetence was staggering. The vehicle was returned the day before it was due so I dropped the keys in their drop box after hours with the appropriate amount of gas in the tank, which happened to be 3/4 of a tank according to the contract. I was not only charged for the extra gas, which filled it to "full", but I was charged an extra day because the vehicle was checked in later the next day by an employee. I noticed the charges on my credit card and went down to Avis to find out why. I was told by the manager she would credit my card for the $97.00 since her employee made some mistakes when the vehicle was checked in. That wouldn't have been so bad however, I spent the next 3 weeks trying to get the charges removed with no luck. Avis just kept saying they will keep resubmitting the charges and there was nothing more they could do. WOW! I had to call corporate myself and after much confusion and several attempts, with my credit card statement in hand,they finally said they credited my card. We shall see. Avis needs to problem solve and not just keep doing the same thing over and over with the same result. They weren't even willing to figure it out. Somebody needs to be accountable and in charge so things like this don't get ignored. I will not be renting through any Avis in the future. read more

Horrible experience. Booked online and prepaid with my wife's credit card. In the past they have been able to use my card for incidentals when I pick up. They refused today and switched the agreement to her name causing a "young renter fee" because she is 24. They did not allow me to switch the payment to my card only. Very frustrating because I've done this many times at this SAME location with the SAME employee. Save yourself a headache and go to enterprise. read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a customer representative ever. I am disgusted and appalled buy the behavior of the employee named Daniel. He was rude and condescending. He made me cry as I was alone with 5 bags of luggage and 2 kids after driving 400 miles, he refused to help me find a ride home or give me the wifi password so that I could call an uber. And when I asked to borrow a pen to write his name down. He offered it to me and snached it away as I reached for it, commanding me to say please. I can't even start to explain how humiliating and belittled I felt. This man made me feel violated and like I was not a human. I will be going to higher management with this complaint. read more
