The pick up process took a long time. There seemed to only be one person out of the 3-4 working that could get the keys for my car. Drop off was fine. The car also felt old and I was worried about breaking down on the way to Vegas with the hills and heat. I didn’t breakdown but usually cars I’ve rented at other companies the cars were newer or felt newer at least.

Staff was friendly and helpful. They did not have the truck that I reserved but offered me an upgrade for the same price.
Loved the ease of pick and drop off. Really couldn’t be smoother!

Absolutely horrendous. I have never rented a car before and they gave me little to no information about the return process. When driving to return the car I called customer service for some clarity on what to do and it was awful. The guy didnt answer a single question I had which were pretty straight forward questions. Instead he kept saying “Mhm mhm good question” and rambled on about nothing I asked. I ended up hanging up because I was getting no where. They charged me $685 to rent the car for 2 days. $300 one way fee was tacked on during drop off because I dropped it off at the airport. I was never informed I couldn’t drop it off at another location. I thought it was a chain and they all shared cars. Terrible terrible terrible!! $685 DOLLARS is absolutely unacceptable for a 2 day rental. I would have dropped it off at the same location I got it had I known prior to returning that I had to, but I couldn’t go back once I arrived at the airport because I would have missed my flight back home! I feel completely taken advantage of.

I'm not sure I've ever had an experience where you actually get the car you reserve? But pickup in Oceanside was a breeze and it was easy to modify the reservation online.

The Avis/Budget rep at the Haley St location went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, charged appropriately, and able to make our flight on time. It was much appreciated!
I get there with my reservation and they said they had no car for me. You guys took $44 from me for no reason and I was left with no more options because everywhere else was closing. you guys are horrible

Car not available at first in Oceanside. until I insisted on a possible upgrade, then car became available. Return at Torrance, excellent. Car was clean and ran well. Had to throw out hanging scented deodorizer hanging from rear view mirror. HORRIBLE scent. Had to drive with windows down for quite awhile. Not good for those of us allergic to scented products!
