CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON AVIS IN ORLANDO

Very patient in explaining how toll fees are charged.

Great service, so fast and efficient. Lovely friendly staff.

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.

This was a fantastic experience, and I gained some valuable experience myself. As someone who isn't fluent in English, it was easy to find the rental car location at the airport by simply looking for the icon of 'a car with a key on top.' Credit cards with the UnionPay logo were also accepted (I noticed on this trip that UnionPay cards are no longer widely accepted in many places in the U.S., so I recommend switching to a chip-enabled foreign currency card before your trip). The counter staff asked if I wanted insurance. I had already purchased full coverage on the app, but for convenience, I added toll fee waivers and the option to return the car without a full tank. Including the $200 deposit, the final bill came to over $1,270 (the app indicated it would be $860 paid at the counter). Looking back, if you do thorough travel research, there's no need to spend extra money on these options. Picking up the car was very straightforward—just find the parking spot with the rental company logo, and you can drive off. A minor hiccup occurred when there was no car at the designated spot initially, but the parking lot staff were excellent. They quickly arranged another vehicle of the same category. The car was brand new, though there was a small scratch on the rear bumper. They assured me it was already marked. And with that, my vacation began smoothly.

A very enthusiastic Black lady.

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

Avis staff very friendly and efficient but there was only two of them at a busy time so pickup took a bit longer than expected.

QeeQ booking process was easy, price was great and there communication was excellent providing tips for both pick up and drop off.

Terrible long wait of 1 hour 20 at Terminal C. MCO.

I was told to complete pre pick up registration which would mean the car would be ready to pick which I did. When I arrived my name wasn’t on the board so I went to the Avis Preferred desk as detailed in my instructions from QEEQ but they knew nothing about me and directed me back to the terminal. By now a line had formed and I had to wait half an hour. Filling in the pre pick up details was a waste of time and then caused me a delay when collecting

Seemed fine

AVIS was efficient all the way. It was not the same with the previous rental I had two days before in Cape Canaveral, that was a disaster: they dis not have a 12 seater as booked with QEEQ so same morning they cancelled the QEEQ booking and issued a new AVIS only booking, charging me 50% more for a 7 seater KIA carnival in orrible conditions.

Satisfied

I asked for an upgrade and was very happy with it.

Platform was simple to use and also saved me money by rebooking the car for a cheaper price!

Expected a newer car but fine and was pleased with luggage space. Avis representative at Orlando gave the impression he didn’t want to be there.

Good service. Will use again.

Waited 20 minutes at counter, staff very helpful.

Very good booking platform, price protecter works well.

After a few days an engine warning light came on and I had to exchange the car which was a bit of hassle. They wanted to give me a much older car but it shuddered and eventually I was given a nice new car.

Very happy with Qeeq. Already booked for next trip.

Avis was good, EXCEPT, they made two unauthorized charges to our credit card with no explanation, or copy of a receipt that may help. We dropped car off early in the day, so no attendant. Avis was also aware of extended rental, as the desk attendant had to ask another attendant about what to do, and we assumed that this was allowed for, but it wasn’t reflected on our rental agreement. Very difficult to reach anyone at Avis to discuss this. Placed on hold for over an hour, so I just hung up. I will try again to reach them to discuss these issues.

I will be expecting a refund on this guarantee once I receive a receipt from Avis. They have not given us a receipt for the rental, to explain unauthorized charges to our card, that we do NOT know the reason behind.

Pickup was very convenient, not many people around even at noon! The car I got had just been cleaned. I booked a Toyota but received a Jeep instead. Although it had 80,000 kilometers and the steering wheel made some noise, I was still satisfied since it was a four-wheel drive. Having a car is essential for road trips. Especially in the US, efficiency is very low without a car. Remember to complete the formalities at the terminal first, then head to the parking lot to pick up the car. Returning the car is also very convenient—just hand over the keys. They only check if the fuel tank is full. Make sure to fill it up before returning.

Your car will allocated to you - you will get to choose a vehicle.

Everything worked fine

I ended up not picking up the car. The AVIS counter staff had a very poor attitude. I will check immediately if the refund has been processed. In the end, there was no choice but to rent a car at a much higher price—double the cost—or take a taxi.

I reserved a Tesla and was offered a Hyundia and a Mercedes. Hyundai is not the same class of vehicle. The Mercedes software was in beta stages. Lane keep assist would bounce around the lane even leaving it, it was if a drunk driver was driving. Navigation system failed 80% of the time either couldnt' find the location like Leogo land for instance but could find Legoland Holiday Inn. 4 out of 5 charging locations it directed me to were behind locked gates. Charging port wouldn't open and required 20 minutes with another Merc owner to figure out. Regenerative braking would simply give up by design at 20Km/hr in other words stop breaking coming up to another car at about 3 car lengths away nearly causing an accident. Later if stopped at about 80km/hr. The car a is a disaster and would stop anyone from owning an EV if they didnt' know better. AVIS customer support was useless. They told me to drive back to the airport to talk to the front desk about changing my reservation. I asked why would i spend a 4 hour round trip driving instead of talking ot them on the phone to confirm they had a car available. This was not possible apparently as they are to busy for existing customer to pickup. I was obviously annoying the CR asking such questions. Upcharged for Tolls. I was told I would go through a ton of tolls on my trip at least 10-15 and that I should purchase the flat toll fee. I went through two. A roughly $20 charge was turned into $70. Upcharged for charging. Asked how much I thought I was going to spend charging the car up before drop off convinced I should spend $20 to charge it at drop off. The Merc comes with Free 30 minute charging more than enough to charge the car to full. Further lies.
