Had to wait in line for a long time. There is some confusion about the charges because I didn't pay directly through the app. The price at the front desk was about a few dozen dollars more expensive than shown in the app. Now I'm contacting customer service for after-sales inquiry.

We were given a complimentary upgrade and the car and the process all worked very well. Because I'm AVIS preferred I could skip the incredibly long queue in the main booking hall and go straight to the preferred desk. If I wasn't I think I would have waited over half an hour to get to the front of the queue (which we stood in first before seeing the sign to AVIS preferred)

All worked vey well and when I had a support query it came back quickly with an answer

It was okay. Parking in Cambridge is particularly difficult and I received a fine. The rental company did not agree to deduct it from the deposit, so I had to go to the Cambridge Traffic Management Center to pay the fine myself!

They added extra insurance without explanation (I had already purchased it during the booking and provided it along with the rental reservation form). They also switched to a fuel-empty return policy without asking. During the pickup process, the staff barely spoke five sentences to me, mainly urging me to sign the contract without showing me the specific terms. It was a deceptive transaction and a very unsatisfactory rental experience. I won't rent from AVIS again.
