Excellent.

During this trip, I rented from AVIS twice. The first time, I got scammed. The second time, I made sure to go through all the terms and conditions carefully to avoid being tricked. Now, AVIS requires you to sign and confirm via a tablet, which means you don't get a physical rental agreement and can't confirm specific charges. I picked up the car at Los Angeles Airport and clearly informed the staff that I had already purchased all the necessary insurance and services. However, the AVIS staff still added services like roadside assistance. When they charged my credit card on-site, it was $250, and I asked what the fee was for. The staff replied that it was just a security deposit. After returning the car, AVIS directly charged $125, which I later confirmed through the rental platform was for roadside assistance and insurance services. I feel all charges should be processed on-site during the rental process, which allows you to negotiate with the staff. Deducting the fee after returning the car feels like a hidden trap because the service is already completed and you have no way to negotiate a refund with AVIS at that point.

The car is very new.

Avis's service has consistently been excellent, much better than other rental companies. This time, the car was in an underground garage, and the staff helped drive the car up to avoid potential collisions downstairs—very thoughtful.

Average

The car was old and tired and therefore expensive for what it was.
