San Francisco – Highway 1 – Los Angeles – Kingman – Route 66 – Grand Canyon – Horseshoe Bend – Antel

Picking up and dropping off the car was very convenient. The first car we got had an oil light come on while driving in San Francisco. We returned to AVIS, and they quickly gave us a new car.

The queue was extremely long. The license plate didn't match when picking up the car, and AVS parking staff had to search for the car everywhere. After a long wait, they couldn't find it and had to replace it with another car. Overall, the car pickup process was very difficult.

Did not inform about additional insurance charges.

Highly convenient and considerate

We picked up the car at San Francisco Airport on December 28, 2014. The front desk was an Asian guy who didn't speak Chinese at first, but suddenly spoke it when he tried to sell me additional insurance, fearing I might not understand. We originally reserved a Ford Edge, but it was not available upon arrival and we were offered a KIA SUV. I said I didn't like KIA, so they finally gave us a Chevrolet Captiva for the same price. Later, I realized the Captiva is a compact SUV, while the Edge is a standard SUV, and there should have been a price difference, but we were in a hurry and didn't notice. When driving on Highway 1, a small rock chipped the windshield, but it wasn't noticeable unless you looked closely. We didn't mention it when returning the car in Los Angeles, and the return went smoothly. Overall, I'm satisfied with AVIS, but the front desk service at San Francisco Airport could be improved.
