Satisfied

Overall service is satisfactory.

Well, overall I'm satisfied, but they persuaded me to buy an extra $200 worth of insurance. The one I originally booked on the website was only around $500, but I ended up paying an additional $300. I should have researched this more beforehand.

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.

Returned at the Avis LAX location. It has poor reviews on Yelp, but when I went there, it was not crowded and quite okay.
