Avis Car Rental

Dec 29th, 2023

Smooth process, got a challenger as free upgrade. Easy check in and out. One of best experiences with Avis in general.

The experience here can be summarised by quoting the attendant "what do you expect, you're in Vegas". The first car we entered was dinged beyond belief it looked like it was in a hail storm, no washer fluid and tire pressure warning on the right rear tire. The second car was so dirty, it smelled of smoke and had zero washer fluid again. The third and final vehicle had half a tank of gas, and was a much smaller car than we had booked as this was all that was left. The lot where you pick up the car has no signage you just walk around waiting for someone to get out of a car in casual gear (no uniform) who can give you keys. As an Avis preferred member next time I'm in Vegas I will be going with another provider. Avis corporate needs to give this location a lot of support to bring up the standard.

When we picked up the vehicle we just gave it a quick lookover assuming that it was a rental vehicle that we could trust. We then proceeded to drive from Las Vegas to Death Valley. Along that trip the check engine light came on so we then had to stop at a gas station and get engine oil and coolant because we didn't know what the issue was with the car. Once we were able to stop long enough to let the engine cool down we then checked the oil level and it was over a quart low on engine oil. At that point we thought we were OK to drive to our next destination. Along the drive we noticed an abnormally loud noise coming from the tires. We just assumed it was something that was normal for the vehicle. Once we arrived at our final destination we ended up in a spot where the tires were parked in a way that we could see that there was a huge deformity and the deep inside tread was nearly non existent. It was on both back tires in the same location. So, either Avis knew about it and didn't fix it but instead tried to hide it by putting the bad tires on the back wheels. Or, Avis does not properly inspect their vehicles. Damage like that does not happen after one trip, it takes a lot of miles and a lot of time to wear the rubber down on a tire like that. We were put into an unsafe vehicle during a trip where we spent a lot of time in very remote places. That left us with an unsafe feeling and for that reason we will never use Avis ever again nor will we recommend them to anyone we know.
