Unsatisfactory Experience

The waiting time was quite long!

Since I only had a US driver's license and not a Chinese one, Avis did not accept the order from the car rental platform. It took two hours to resolve the issue through the platform’s customer service, placing a new order and negotiating a refund for the difference. Avis customer service was not very friendly, but thanks to the platform’s customer service for their patience and solving the problem over the phone. I will use the platform again, but not Avis...

Arrogant attitude

I filled the gas tank before returning the car and confirmed with the staff that everything was okay, but still got charged an additional $20 for fuel! Ridiculous!

At the Los Angeles airport location, there were long queues and poor efficiency; it took nearly an hour to get the car. On-site, I was informed that only the main driver's credit card could be used for the deposit, not MasterCard UnionPay, and only Visa UnionPay. The reservation was made under my friend's name, who is the main driver and only has MasterCard. I had prepaid for the car and had a Visa. I contacted the rental company customer service to change the main driver to me or coordinate somehow. Despite explaining the issue three times, they kept repeating: 'You need to prepare a MasterCard or Visa credit card. We're sorry, but we can't solve this.' They totally didn't understand my issue! Eventually, the on-site staff coordinated with a supervisor to use my friend's MasterCard, but it added $150 for insurance!
