On the Avis website it says this location has an after-hours key drop available, but I walked all around the building and parking lot last night and didn't see one anywhere. I returned this morning at 8am when the location says it opens to find the building locked with no one inside. I waited another 20min until the attendant finally arrived and he was not apologetic or professional - just took the keys and said they got rid of their key drop 4 or 5 years ago (how Avis has not fixed this on their website by this point is beyond me). Not a good location at all, would not recommend. Use the airport location to save yourself a headache. read more

Avis Rent A Car - Car Rental Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Extremely unprofessiona!!!!! I booked for a car Wednesday online for a rental Monday morning at 0800, as I'm on my way to pickup my rental they call at 0750 and inform me there was no cars available. when I booked online it said that there were cars available. To get a better understanding I came to the store and MR. Perry for clarification on my reservation, he redirected me to the airport for a car, not informing that it will be an additional $60 airport fee if I booked there. MR. Perry is very aggressive when he talks to his customer, not aware of what's happening in the store, and gives out false information. Please save yourself the hassle of booking at this location. They have a store full of unsatisfied customers. read more

If we could give it negative stars we would. Poor customer service, horrible vehicle condition(we literally kept our fingers crossed the car would not break down) and windows so dirty that you could barely see out of them. We had to buy windex and paper towels and clean them ourselves. When we shared our poor experience, they could care less. "Sorry we didn't meet your expectations.....next customer in line please...." When I emailed corporate, as they instructed to do when I called them, they replied with the same answer....."Sorry we didn't meet your expectations...." Really????? Looking at the negative reviews here, they reply to cover thier rear end, but never do anything to resolve it. Smoke and mirrors. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT EVER USE AVIS......EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @Monte- I already sent the email with the references- and your company gave a standard "We will try to improve" email. You just add salt to the wound with a no action reply. Response from the owner an hour ago We apologize for any issues that you encountered. Please email us your rental agreement number, renter's name, relation to renter if applicable, confirm phone number to socialinfo@avis.com. Include details of the issue in the email and list "SM #866020" in the subject line. We are happy to help! Hope to hear from you soon! ~Monte read more

I made a reservation day prior to pick up. I went in and he looked me up, found the reservation, but said they had no cars. It says online that they do, it allowed me to make the reservation. Not helpful, didn't try to resolve or really care. There's just no cars, and I took an Uber to pick it up. Meanwhile it still says they have multiple cars and options available online. read more

I recently rented an avis car in Ft Myers for a 4 day conference in Sanibel harbor Marriot. The recent hurricanes and sudden rainstorm downpours resulted in a muddy and dirty parking garage. Inevitable the car floor became dirty and muddy but it could not be avoided. They are charging my credit card $250 to clean the interior. This was my deposit which they said was required in addition to the rental charge. Needless to say I will not be using Avis in the future and I would not recommend them. A reasonable cleaning charge I could understand but they automatically charged my entire deposit . I will take my business elsewhere in the future since their slogan of we try harder seems to be no longer applicable. RM read more

It is 12:11 and we still haven't gotten our 10:00 reservation. This is ridiculous. The man working here is juggling it all on his own. There are a dozen other customers... he is trying to clean the car, deal with issues, return cars, etc. They are short on cars despite everyone having reservations. Update: 12:30 - we have our car now... it came half full of gas.. we don't have enough to get to our destination.. lovely. What. A. Day. So much waiting. DO NOT RECOMMEND. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. read more

Got there super late and then made my dad wait outside in the freezing cold just a minute to get everything set up. Very unprofessional

Wait in line for 1 hour 45 minutes to get to agent for a prepaid car, 4 confirmations from Avis, a disgrace!! Called Avis got an email thus morning telling me they are sorry and please give them another chance. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? read more

Very easy rental experience and clean, nice vehicle. Exactly what we requested. *important to note: they do not have a drop box so make sure you return during open hours* read more

Miss Tanya was extremely helpful and kind in getting us in a rental car. We missed our connecting flight in Charlotte, and there were no cars at the airport or in the city. Made an online reservation Sunday night, customer service number said there were plenty of cars available at this location, but Tanya informed us that our reservation was not there but she would take care of us. We were 4th in line, and she was efficient and disarming with everyone. Got us on the road to our destination. Thank you! read more

I returned an avis rental and after passing the TSA check, I realized I forgot my Jim Maui sunglasses in the vehicle. No one ever answers the phone and I filed a missing item report online. The following week I showed up to the airport again and they said the person in charge downstairs is not available. After dozens of calls, a person from Avis told me they never found any items related to me. I told them why don't you go to the person who checked in my car and get it off of his face. What a bunch of crooks they have working there. No concern for customer service whatsoever. read more

Just showed up at 10:30 to pick up a car I reserved a month ago. The place was supposed to open at 9. It was locked and the lights were off. While trying to call the 800 number to see what to do, someone showed up in jeans and a sweatshirt, didn't acknowledge me at all and unlocked the door. When I went to go inside he said "just wait." Then some other guy comes out and says they have no cars. He said all the reservations are in the same boat and the best bet is to try the airport. When I asked if he's sure they have cars and will honor the reservation, he said no he's not sure. And then closed the door and locked it. Do not recommend. read more

Had a reservation at 0900, but it took an hour and a half to be helped. Staff is unprofessional, unorganized, and unbelievably slow. Do not recommend. read more

So I understand we're going through this pandemic!! But this place has the worse customer service what so ever! I had a reservation online but I had to wait for 39 minutes when they worked with customers who came in after me! And he kept answering the phone calls instead of helping customers in stores!!!! Worse customer service ever!!! read more

Terribly run business. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT CAREFULLY. I've had to get vehicles here a few times and have never seen any customers receive the respect they diserve. Don't bother renting online for 8am, when they're supposed to open. Staff wont be there until 9. Expect to spend 3 times longer getting your vehicle, they are very slow. Fuel will likely not be full. read more

Wish I could give 0 stars. I was supposed to return a car at 8am, and of course no one was there even though they are supposed to be open. I called customer support after 15 mins to see what my options were since they do not have a drop box. Their suggestion to me was I have to wait until they are open, which I could not do since I had other things to do. I even offered to drop the car off at another location that was open, but they said I would be charged for that. Worst experience ever!! read more

Booked a reservation a day ahead of time. I get there on time and they tell me that I need to go to the airport. Very unprofessional place and will never come here again. Place is very ran down and management are no help at all. STAY AWAY read more

If I could give a 0 star review I would. I showed up for a rental needed for business and was informed, while waiting in he parking lot for them to open, that they didn't have the car I booked, didn't have an upgrade and just to call customer service. Didn't offer to call another location, etc. So I called customer service and it was the worst customer service experience I have ever had period with any type of industry. They told me to go a couple miles away and then we're charging me more for the inconvenience. Absolutely absurd customer service. I'm so disappointed that Costco even uses this company for any bookings. Please stay away from this company period. read more

I DIDNT WANT TO GIVE THEM ONE STAR!!! SAVE URSELF AND DONT GO HERE!!! 3WEEKS LATER IM STILL GETTING CHARGES FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! THEE WORST COMPANY EVERRR!!! First i call to check prices (he tells me with the rudest attitude that it'll be 800DAILY bc it Memorial Day weekend) i informed him i was otp with a rep that i was making my reservation threw and he basically told me if i didn't pay HIS price i couldn't come get the car!! So i replied " So your tellin me if i pay the amount that the representative is telling me, i still can't get the car if i don't pay YOUR price??" With an attitude he huffed and puffed and told me IF i can prove to him that my reservation was VALID and not FAKE then i could probably get a rental!!! Long story short i go down there, they bring all this paperwork that they crossed out numbers and wrote in numbers for ex: it said a 200 dollar fee i believe for smoking in the car, well he scratched it and put 450 in place of the 200!!! THEN PUT ME IN A CAR INFESTED WITH WEED STEMS AND TRASH UNDER THE SEAT!!! And said "due to COVID we only clean the outside of the car!" WAIT! WHAT?! .... ok fast forward... the day the car is supposed to go back it gets a slow leak, i call the company and they ask me where the car is and sent somebody to get the car.... didn't ask me, just said they would get somebody out here to get the car. Ok cool, i get hit with the car fee, and they hit me a week later for over a 1,000 saying i never returned the car! Then saying i returned the car and got another rental!! I never did any of this! The tow truck man came in my neighborhood with CAMERAS! AND GET THEIR CAR!!! NOW NOBODY WANTS TO CALL ME BACK! I KEEP GETTING "THE MANAGER IS BUSY ILL PUT U ON A CALL BACK!" MY OLDEST HAS HEALTH ISSUES AND NOW I DONT HAVE THE FUNDS FOR HIS MEDICATIONS BC AVIS!!!!!!!! I HATE THIS COMPANY!! THEY HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT HELL!!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST!!! read more

The personnel working there on 9/20/2021 provided the worst customer service I have received from any business in my life. The gentleman there was uncaring, numb to the core, and it is my belief a scam artist. . They blamed everything on Avis Corporate and would not take accountability for anything that went wrong. read more

This Avis is horrendous, I reserved a car a week ago and when I drove here to pick it up they called and said they did NOT have a car for me, right as I got there. I called customer service and they could not do anything for me. The person who took me there had to go somewhere so I had to find another way to get all the way across the city and get to the airport to pick up another car. When I got to the airport to pick up another car they said it was going to be even more expensive. Ridiculous!! Customer service was no help. I am extremely disappointed. read more

Tonia was rude and unhelpful. Belittling when speaking about different options to do while trying to get out of town on a family vacation that was interrupted by A HURRICANE. A formal complaint has been filed. Also was told by customer service that she did lie to us and tell us very incorrect information. The location smelt, the paperwork still smells. Will not recommend to anyone. read more

11/13/19 Exceptional customer service. The staff goes over and beyond to render excellent customer service. Not only did I receive good service, I had the opportunity to witness the excellent experience of another customer. I will forever rent my vehicles from this location. They are fast, professional, friendly, and above all willing to help. An additional bonus is the prices are affordable. read more

Absolute horrible experience. Customer service is non existent. Waited for over an hour to get a moving truck and once we received the keys the truck had an issue. No apologies no nothing for our wait or poor service. Then when I asked if my child could use the restroom they said they didn't have one??? What place of business doesn't have a bathroom it may not be for customers but you have one. After your customers have waited for an hour you would think that they would be willing to do anything to appease a child. NO! They referred us to the Mexican restaurant beside them that clearly has several signs posted that say restroom for customers only. Stay away! read more

Avis/Budget rental services is the worst place I have ever done business with EVER!!!!!! I can write a book about this place but have no energy from dealing with them for the last two damn weeks.

P.S. will be posting on all major review sites... read more
