    Stains in Avis Rental Car
    Dori P.

    Warning to anyone who that needs a car rental at the AVIS Temecula location. If Avis was committed to their Guidance for Car Rental Cleaning & Safety procedures. CDC recommendations for COVID-19. Also quarantine any cars which may have come into contact with Coronavirus. I thought the car rental industry was doing everything it can to help customers during this pandemic. Cleaning supplies should be ready and available at any location. A customer should not have to remind them. On November 10th,, the car I picked up at Avis (27315 Jefferson Ave, Temecula, CA} was extremely filthy with stains and where someone (got sick) on the door panels. The car also had Covid papers in between the passenger front seat and console. After letting her know of our concerns She responded "I can give you a can of air freshener. Also was told there was nothing she could do to help us because this was a pick-up location only. We were responsible for driving the rental to ONTARIO if we were not satisfied and if we wanted another car. I needed to be in SF at a certain time. I was getting misinformation from every Avis customer service 800 numbers I was told to call about trying to rectify this situation. I was told this location was a corporate location, because it was listed as a corp on website. But Avis agents said it was not. Maybe they feel like they don't have to follow CDC guidelines or Avis guidance for safety. I could not believe this was happening during this Covid-19 pandemic. Avis is dishonest and are in the practice of telling customers straight up lies to just get you in the door. When you have a complaint, they really want you to move on. It is not their problem. Now you are in a hard rock situation and at their mercy. You cannot get a refund immediately and go to another company or find another way to get you to your destination. This is a Crime and shame on Avis for putting people at risk of contracting this Virus. I took pics of everything to prove my complaint against Avis. If negative stars were an option, they would have received that rating instead. (droved approx. 55 miles Temecula to Ontario paid $15.75. to refill a gas tank that I believe was not full when picked up). This could have been avoidable.

    Economy sized. Headroom in the back is minimal

I picked up a car and waited about 50 minutes to be helped, then when I dropped off I waited about another 40. They do not answer the phones very often because the employees are oversaturated with customers, and while I feel for them, I was still inconvenienced by the lack of staffing and so were many other people I saw and spoke to. There is also a fee of $500 that is added at the end if you pay with debit, which is reimbursed after you return the car.. I'm not sure if that is standard procedure for car rental places but it came as an unwanted surprise for me. This review is primarily negative due to the long wait times, though.

The…read morelocation advertises an 8:00 a.m. opening time, but the office did not actually open until approximately 8:10 a.m. By that point, a line of several customers had already formed outside waiting to be served. Once the office opened, it became apparent that the vehicles were not ready for pickup and still needed to be cleaned. The first customer in line did not receive their vehicle until 8:35am, resulting in a significant delay despite arriving before opening. The location also appeared to be understaffed. There was only one employee working the front counter, and while assisting customers in person, he was repeatedly interrupted by phone calls. At least five callers were told that he would need to call them back later because he was unable to manage both the counter and phone inquiries at the same time. The employee was professional and appeared to be doing his best under the circumstances. However, the overall operation seemed unprepared for customers at opening time. If a location advertises an 8:00 a.m. opening, customers should reasonably expect the office to be open, staffed, and have vehicles ready for pickup at that time.

No need to wait on hold to get a rep and beg. Accomplished it through a simple text message. The return was great as well. Quick and hassle free! It has been my experience, especially with Enterprise, that if you're having issues it's usually YOUR fault. Show up with all your documents, proper payment, and reasonable expectations and you'll be fine!

While driving to the location, I called ahead because I noticed they close at 6. I was then told that 5:50 PM is their "cutoff" and that since I'd be arriving at 6, I couldn't get the car I already reserved. So let me get this straight: If 5:50 is the cutoff, WHY does your system allow a 6:00 PM reservation? This caused me to waste time, money, and completely disrupted my plans I ubered there and had to uber back. No warning, no notification, no accountability--just "too bad." This is either terrible communication or a broken reservation system, and either way it's unacceptable for a company this size. If you can't honor reservations at the time you allow customers to book, don't offer that time. Simple. Extremely frustrating and unprofessional experience.

The problem? The customer service!! When I arrived to pick up the van, Emily acted like I was trying to pull off a heist because I wanted to pay with a debit card. Never mind that the account had more than enough money to cover 10 rentals. A simple "Sorry, we don't accept debit cards" would have worked. Instead, I got eye rolls, attitude, and a side of judgment. I left and came back later with my magical, acceptable credit card, and suddenly Emily was a little nicer. Unfortunately, first impressions don't come with a reset button. When I returned the van after a week, they asked how everything was. The van? Fantastic!!! Had a wonderful family road trip in it. The service? Let's just say I saved that review for here. I've rented from plenty of Enterprise locations over the years, and this was easily the worst customer service experience I've had. If you're planning to rent from this location, bring a credit card WITHOUT the word "debit" on it and maybe you'll get decent service. PSA: DEBIT CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED HERE!!!!

He didn't even have her on speakerphone and I could hear her tone just sitting next to him. If you're having a bad day, I hope your day gets better. But, I pray you never have to be in the situation we have been in which is already a high stress situation and your unkindness and lack of customer service has not helped in any way. My husband is a very laid back and chill guy and for him to say you were not very nice is saying a lot. We did not use your location, we just called for availability and was rudely rushed off the phone and was told you had no rentals available. We went around the corner to the Ynez location where we treated like valued customers .

I reserved a Full-Size car a week in advance, but when I arrived, they told me it wasn't available. Instead of upgrading me or offering a price adjustment, they tried to force an involuntary downgrade to a Standard car. When I requested fair compensation for the cheaper vehicle class, the counter agent was completely dismissive and gave me a rude "take it or leave it" ultimatum. Because I refused to be ripped off, they refused to rent to me at all. Fortunately, I booked my reservation through Costco Travel, so I wasn't charged for their failure. I walked right across the street to a competitor, who happily rented me the exact vehicle class I needed without any issues. Avis in Temecula has awful customer service and zero problem-solving skills. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere. I had rented from this location for many years with the previous management without problem.

Luckily, there was no line when I went to pick up and I was out in 3-5 minutes. Something I found interesting that has never happened in the history of me renting cars: they offered me a choice-Corolla or Camaro.I went with the Corolla. Not to mention, they are opened on Sundays!! Meaning you don't have to keep it the whole weekend. Who does that outside of airports-not asking you Turo. They're located within the Murrieta Spectrum, a pretty big plaza. However, no real designated place for their fleet. Not to worry because it seems you can leave the car anywhere when returning. Well, anywhere on their section of the plaza. Returns can take awhile-but they don't have to. Mostly if you want a receipt or some type of paperwork. Very old school here.
