They had an issue with our reservation after they took our payment. They canceled our reservation and had to find a new way to pay since we desperately needed this rental. Once that got sorted out, we loaded up our kids and found trash and beer bottles in the back seat. Pretty sure the vehicle had an oil leak as well. We won't be using them anymore. read more

Avis - The beer bottles in the car - Car Rental Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I scheduled a 7:30 AM pickup and arrived on time. The store operator, DJ, unlocked the door at 7:03 AM without so much as a hello--just walked to the counter silently. I told him I had a reservation made online. He asked for my ID and credit card with no greeting or acknowledgment. Based on past reviews, I was already hesitant, but chose this location due to its proximity to my job. He then informed me they don't accept debit cards--even ones that run as credit--even though the website allowed the reservation that way. When I mentioned I might return the vehicle earlier than the five days I prepaid for, he told me no refund would be issued for early returns. I signed the rental agreement, and he walked me to the door, pointed toward the lot, and sent me out--again, without a word. The car itself was in rough shape. It smelled strongly of mildew and the odor never went away. The windshield washer fluid was empty, so I had to refill it myself. On a very rainy weekend, I discovered the wipers were worn out and the headlights were so dim I could barely see at night. I attempted to exchange the car at another location, but they were out of vehicles. When I returned the car on Day 5, the employee Nick was friendly and respectful, though clearly busy. I later called to share my experience, and while Nick listened, he also tried to justify his manager's behavior. I appreciated his professionalism, but overall, this experience has convinced me never to rent from this location again read more

We made the reservation weeks ago. When we arrived the man behind the counter wouldn't let my brother rent the vehicle because his name on the insurance and credit card did not exactly match his ID. Totally ridiculous . So we went to the bank and changed the debit card / cc and went to the insurance office to change the name to match. Went back and then the guy says he can't take the debit card . And that my brother needs a utility bill to prove he is who he says he is. This is absolutely absurd . We went to Enterprise and no problem at all. A little pricier but Avis is a joke !!!! Don't bother with them !!! read more

If I could rate zero stars, I absolutely would. Darryl Johnson is literally the WORST manager I've ever encountered. When I came in he had a very nice employee helping people. Once he couldn't take care of the issue for a customer he called over Mr. Johnson. He started yelling at a customer about how he never spoke to her when she claimed to have spoken to him in person and all he had to say was "oh I thought you were someone else, I can't do anything for you". He was gaslighting the customer and refusing to listen to her until she spoke over him and continued saying she spoke directly to him IN PERSON. When it came to me, he just kept laughing through the issue. I walked out without a car. Rent from enterprise. I went to enterprise after this terrible experience, they gave me a car in less than 20 minutes, upgraded me for free AND added my second driver for FREE. I only paid $10 more than what they would've charged me here at Avis. Mr. Johnson was trying to change my $360 rental (which I got from renting in advance) to $700. Went to enterprise and paid $370 for a larger car and better insurance. Seriously, listen to all the reviews here. Don't come here. Maybe there are better Avis locations, but do NOT come to this one. read more

Rates at the time were 240 for an EV and 260 for a gas vehicle (before fees and taxes of course) and I had reserved a gas vehicle just because I hate EVs. I get there and he tells me that there is no gas vehicles so he's giving me an EV. I ask if the rate will be the slightly cheaper one since I'm getting an electric vehicle. He says that he reserved me for a gas vehicle so even though there is none he's going to give me that rate. This place is terrible and I do not recommend anyone come here. If I could, I'd give them negative stars. read more

if I could give this place 0 stars I would. charged me 1900 cause they can't do their job and check the inventory like your supposed to. bad service, never have the car you order on the website. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE OF CROOKS! read more

My son just got told he has to pay 400.00 for the cleaning because there were ashes in the car. He has never smoked in his life. Obviously, they didn't clean the car before he got it. read more

This place was so un professional. When I returned my car the agent ran outside to tell me I needed to park the car in a different space. Then he asked for the miles and I said "here's the key," he said, "oh no I can't get into that car it hasn't been sanitized." Really? He was horrible. I asked if he could add my preferred number and he said no but didn't know why he couldn't add it. Ridiculous in my opinion. He didn't even offer a number where I could call and add. Only one star because I had to. Next time I'll rent at the airport and pay the extra chargers for better service and a better vehicle. read more

Do not rent from this location. They are dishonest. Returned the car, no one inspected it...just took the keys. I didn't think anything of it. 4 weeks later we get a bill for "excessive sand"??? We did not go to the beach. Ridiculous. $125 excess cleaning fee for sand and we did not go to the beach. Stick with other locations for your safety. read more

The customer service at this place was terrible. When we returned the car there wasn't any spaces to park the car so we pulled in front of the business and parked. They made us move the car over by the fence which i didn't know was there parking lot. They didn't inspect the car for any damage when we returned it. We received a letter in the mail a month later stating the fuel tank had been damaged and charged my wife $700. Do yourself a favor and don't rent from this place. read more

Terrible location. I reserved a vehicle a month ago and then came to pick it up on the designated date and time. Surprise, we don't have any vehicles in any size you need. Idiots. Will you take a smaller vehicle? No. This is the size I ordered. I want what I ordered. Is this rocket science? Must be. It is a privately owned, not corporate location. If that matters to anyone. read more

I don't recommend renting a car here. I rented a Ford Explorer for a quick trip with my cardiac service dog. When I brought the vehicle back the owner/operator did not inspect or review the vehicle. The next day he calls and states that he found some dog hair in the vehicle and he was "imposing" a $75 vacuuming fee. He then argued that it cost more than $75 to vacuum the car. So if you are veteran, service animal owner, or just someone who does not like a cheap hustler imposing fees to make a little extra money, I would highly recommend another company or for sure a different location. read more

Already had a reservation, went to pick up the car and told that he wouldn't accept my card which was a MasterCard.

Do not rent from this avis. Had a reservation cancelled by some sort of accident online. Got told oh well we are keeping your $150 dollars and no your reservation can't be uncanceled even though it was never cancelled to begin with . We're out a cancellation fee of $150 and we had to go and rent a vehicle through another company so we wouldn't get screwed again. 09624226us3 read more

DJ and staff are awesome. Avis traditionally has the best rental car rates, especially if you look for codes online before you book; That being said, if you wait until the day of or a day before, sometimes you may have issues with being able to apply coupon codes and/or just general car availability. I love how all the locations share vehicles to get you what you need and I've never had to dispute charges or been unfairly charged for cleanings or other fees. Avis does have a rewards program for frequent renters or if you fly a lot, you can choose to get airline miles for your rentals instead. read more

Perfect service in every way. Patient, helpful and knowledgeable staff. We will be repeat customers. Thanks!

Waiting for car to be prepped. Long trip ahead--I've had the reservation for days. Why isn't the car ready???

I wish I could give them 20 stars because this Avis dealer deserves it. Was in Texas for my sons Air Force graduation almost 3 yrs ago. Well the company we used to rent a car screwed us and left us stranded at the airport with no car , The manager of the office took us to this location . Darryl Johnson went out of his way to give us the same offer we had with the other company and rented us a better car than what we were supposed to get for the same price. Now that's customer service. 20 Stars in my book. read more

When ever I need a great deal on Rental cars I have always received awesome deals from this Avis. They have the best customer service and they even picked me up at Sears all the way over at Rolling Oaks mall once. I always send my family and friend to this Avis for cars. Thanks Avis in Stone Oak. read more

If I could I wouldn't even add a star. First and Last time I'm going to rent here. I made a reservation 1 month prior for a suburban. I arrive and the lady gives me a Ford Explorer. Not what I reserved. She calls her boss and tells him that I did not want the explorer and that I must have been confused when I reserved. Which is funny because I went to the place in person to reserve a "suburban". No apologies or anything. For the mess up, then assuming I'm the one who messed up, then wasting my time. read more

First time and LAST!! Rented for 1 day Van and at the pick up time van was not ready. Had to follow a Avis worker to finish filling up the tank. As I return the van the next day, I was told by the Owner that the gas was not fill up all the way. I was about to be charge $9.98 per gallon. Drove to a Valero and had to put 0.52 gallons $ 1.40 so the van could be return. SERIOUSLY!!! read more

If there is a negative star that would the one I will give them. The online reservation process is a disaster. Even if you reserve a car online and paid for it the probability of get it by the pick up time is not granted. read more

If this would allow me no stars, that is what this place would get. I reserved 2 days a head of time for a car seat. When we arrived from CA, due to my husband's brother dying, we were told they didn't have one in. It was actually suggested by the lady at the counter, that we go to Walmart and buy one. Are you freaking kidding me!!!! I was so ticked off, that I demanded for them to find us another car rental place at the airport that had one in stock. Time was of the essence. The owner, begrudingly did so but let me know that he didn't have to. Excuse me! We reserved one and YOU screwed up. We had to take the bus from there back to the airport and get back onto another bus to go to Hertz.. This took up a good hour of our time. Two and a half hours later, his brother died. Thank you Avis for taking away one of my husbands last hours with his brother. I really hope you can live with that. There is nothing in this world that you can say, to condone your awful behavior. read more
