Nightmare at Avis

Very patient in explaining how toll fees are charged.

We were given a Buick Encore which is much smaller than the RAV4 we booked. This meant we had to reconfigure the trunk to fit our luggage in. When we started the car a warning light came on - replace oil now. This happened each subsequent time we restarted the car. After investigation the engine oil was nearly exhausted and we spent $96 to replace it. Also the sound card didn't work. This meant no radio and also no sound when the trafficators were activated. The car clearly hadn't been inspected/serviced before we collected it. The process to communicate with Avis, in order to organise a refund of the $96 spent on replacing the engine oil, was difficult. Following return of the car we have now been promised a refund but have not yet received it. In summary not a happy experience and a poor advert for Avis In our opinion the car should not have been allocated to anyone until a full service had been undertaken. Communication with Avis is also difficult. They have an automated call handling system which takes you around in circles

I've used QEEQ before and it works fine. The $1 reserve function is great and, although not triggered in this occasion, the price drop protector is good

We were supposed to get a saloon car but they didn't have one so we had to make do with large pick up truck. We told them we wanted a car or even a SUV but they wouldn't entertain us. The girl at Avis was very unhelpful. We managed to go to Avis office in Kissimmee the following evening and they exchanged the truck for a saloon car. However the saloon car then became faulty with all electrics closing down. So no blinkers and nothing showing on dashboard. Very frightening. We had to go back again the next day and eventually got a small SUV. Terrible service from Avis at MCO.

Waited 20 minutes at counter, staff very helpful.

Very good booking platform, price protecter works well.

The pick up was slow, 25 minutes, despite there only being 3 people ahead of me in the queue, but at least it was in the terminal.

Booking worked well and the price drop guarantee worked with a reduction on the original price.
