Liked Customer Service, the lady was very helpful and showed a lot of care. Followed up to find out if i had gotten the help i needed. The desk personnel was also very kind, hospitable, funny, and very professional. Company personel that received the car on return was also very professional. I'd rate my experience a 10

The experience was terrible and I will never again use Avis. The car size I reserved 7 months ahead of time. They wanted to give me a much smaller car that would not have worked for our family of 5. I thus had to rent from Sixt car rental and pay last minute price that was more than 3 times the rate reserved for the Avis car. This is pathetic customer service
