I had no idea what to expect here but it was such a great experience renting from Avis! It's a…read moresuper, super small car lot but I found they did a wonderful job. My friend from Europe was visiting for the week and wanted her own car to be able to get around. She originally tried to get a rental at the Tampa Airport, but they tried to make her pay an extra $300 for being international which was a hidden fee. Super shady. So, we decided to come to Avis and make sure they could help with a rental car for an international. The gal who helped us was super sweet and even called her manager to make sure it would be okay. We came back 2 days later and got my friend a rental car, no issues. Another gal helped us that day and was also really helpful. Then, once it was time for my friend to leave she was able to just take the car back to the Tampa Airport and drop it off there with no hitches. Trying to get services in the U.S. as a non-American can be overly complicated at times, but Avis made it very low stress. Since they are such a small lot it can be a little slow to get service if there's even a short line of people. But I do think it's worth it.

I had an SUV reserved with Avis for several weeks and received pickup notifications leading up to…read moremy reservation. Avis never called, texted, or emailed me to say there was a problem. I paid for an Uber to get to the location. After I arrived and provided my driver's license and credit card, I was told they did not have the SUV I reserved. The only vehicle available was a van. What concerned me most was that the Avis employee herself told me the van had a cracked windshield but said it "should be fine." The crack was substantial and clearly visible. I was not comfortable driving a rental vehicle in that condition. Another person was with me and also witnessed the condition of the windshield. My choices were essentially to take the damaged van or come back later. I left without a vehicle, incurred additional Uber expenses, and ultimately had to obtain a replacement rental elsewhere at a higher cost. My experience with Avis Customer Service afterward was equally frustrating. After several calls, a supervisor told me the matter would be forwarded to a District Manager. He also suggested I could register online for a free rental day, but when I asked him to explain how, he told me he was at work and did not have time to assist me. At the end of the call, I was told, "Thank you for letting us resolve this issue." When I tried to explain that nothing had been resolved, the call was ended. My biggest concern is not simply that the SUV wasn't available. It is that I arrived for a confirmed reservation with no advance warning and was offered a vehicle with a substantial windshield crack as the only available option.

The absolute worst rental car experience I've ever had…read more I arrived at the airport and shortly after realized their shuttles do not actually go to their location. According to the Expedia description, you're supposed to call them for pickup. Sounds simple enough, right? I called their number ten times in a row -- no answer. After getting nowhere, I gave up and paid for an Uber to their location, which is about 4 miles from the airport. When I walked into the office, it was a complete ghost town. I waited about five minutes before someone finally came to the front -- and they had a smug, unprofessional attitude from the start. My rental was already prepaid through Expedia, but then I was told I needed to pay nearly $700 just for insurance for four days. I have Progressive insurance, I'm in my 40s with a clean driving record, a valid driver's license, and major credit cards -- and somehow that still wasn't enough. Between the lack of shuttle service, no one answering the phone, the surprise insurance charges, and the terrible customer service, this was hands down one of the worst experiences I've had with any company -- especially in Florida. I would absolutely not recommend renting from here.

I would strongly recommend avoiding this rental location…read more I booked a rental through Expedia with Rent-A-Wreck based on the advertised price. When I arrived, I discovered the rental was actually being handled by APM Rentals. Instead of paying the remaining balance I was expecting, I was presented with numerous additional fees that were never disclosed during booking. I also paid for the unlimited toll package and a $500 security deposit. We returned the vehicle exactly as required, on time, with a full tank of gas, clean, and without any damage. We even took photos of the vehicle before returning it. A few days later, our $500 security deposit was released, confirming there were no issues with the vehicle. Then, six days after returning the car, APM Rentals charged my credit card an additional $467.15 without any explanation. I immediately contacted the company and was told no one could explain the charge over the phone. I was instructed to communicate by email instead. Despite multiple written requests, I have not received an explanation, an itemized invoice, or any documentation showing why I was charged. The most concerning part of this experience was not just the unexpected fees at pickup. It was being charged hundreds of dollars after the rental was complete with no explanation and no response from the company. If you choose to rent here, read every document carefully, take photos of everything, monitor your credit card after you return the vehicle, and keep copies of all your paperwork. Based on my experience, I would not rent from this location again.

If I could give zero stars. I absolutely would. Long story short. I'm a truck driver and was coming…read morehome to get me a rental. Called and spoke to a representative who scheduled my pick up at the plant city enterprise. However when I showed up. They had no vehicles in inventory. I was then directed to call customer service to find a location where I could get a vehicle. I was then directed to the one here in Lakeland to pickup a half ton pickup. Whilst on the phone. When I was asked how I would be paying. I said " debit ". When I arrived at the location. I was told to I would need a credit card to reserve a pickup truck. I did not have a credit card so the manager then referred me to another option that would work with a debit card. HOWEVER, I now needed to show 2 proofs of residency. As if my license and my insurance are wasn't good enough. Now I needed to come up with 2 more ?? Anyways. I went outside to get said proofs of residency. I then walk back in. And wouldn't you know it. They said " we will not be able to help you or anyone else making a new reservation ".. we already started the process to get me into a Nissan and all he needed was those 2 forms of residency. So after wasting an hour of my time. I had to now get an uber for a third time to get me back to my semi truck back in plant city. By far the absolute worse experience I've had. Some criticism. You should have your customer support reps make sure to tell your customers they need credit cards for your more " luxury " vehicles.
