Extremely Disappointed with Avis Ongoing Theft and Lack of Accountability
I will never rent from Avis again, and I strongly discourage others from doing so.
My husband and I initially rented a vehicle from Avis in March, starting with a weekly rate. After extending our rental, we transitioned to a monthly rate. From April through June, however, we noticed a disturbing pattern: unauthorized and excessive charges were repeatedly made to my credit card by the same Avis location.
To be specific:
* In April, I was charged $734, followed by $658 the very next day, and then $634 the day after.
* This pattern repeated in May and June.
* The total excess charges amount to thousands of dollars.
We did not catch the discrepancies until June, at which point I immediately filed a report with both Avis customer service and my credit card company. Unfortunately, neither party has taken responsibility:
* My credit card provider claims that due to our rental agreement, they cannot process a refund.
* Avis has refused to refund me, claiming they won't process anything further because I filed a dispute with the bank.
* Each time I reopen the case, Avis closes it without resolution.
* The employee involved is still working at the location and has now blocked me.
* The manager has not once contacted me, despite being told repeatedly that he would.
This experience has been not only financially damaging, but completely disheartening. What started as a simple rental has resulted in unauthorized charges, poor accountability, and zero transparency. Avis has demonstrated a complete lack of concern for customer protection or integrity.
We've since switched to Turo, and will never use Avis again. I am now exploring legal representation, as it's clear that no one at Avis is taking this seriously. The way this situation has been handled is unethical and possibly criminal. read more
