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!

Avis is great. Much better than the last two times with Dollar and Thrifty, where the upselling was very aggressive.

Aggressively pushing extra insurance

I rented a Ford Edge, but upon pickup, I was asked to switch to a BMW X5, which increased the cost to over $120 per day. Additionally, if you choose to pay at the store, you'll incur a nearly 50% non-package fee and be asked to add several types of insurance, making the final cost twice as high as what was listed on the rental site.

The car didn’t match the one I rentes. I rented a Toyota 4 RUNNER specifically for the purpose of my trip, turns out ai get a Ford Edge non compatible with my requirements for this trip.
