AVIS - Miami International Airport Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

Esperamos bastante tiempo para recoger el auto. Sin embargo nuestro turno fue muy expedito. El vehículo en muy buenas condiciones, tal cual el anuncio.

El auto supero mis expectativas pero lo mano es yo pongo mi tarjeta para pagar la tarifa en dólares como corresponde pero me cargan a la tarjeta en soles que la moneda nacional pero a un cambio muy desbentajodo Quisiera pagar en dólares como lo hago con otros servicios

Todo muy bien. Gracias

Had booked the car for 3 weeks , returned it after 2 weeks as engine was over heating. The process took awhile to sort out very poor service.

I had a charge 24 hours after dropping the car back for ‘TOL’ $168.87. This is apparently a fixed charge toll product which was completely mis represented to me. The car was not ready when I arrived at the desk. I made it clear to the clerk that I would not be using the car in an area of Florida with toll roads except for leaving and returning to the airport. When I queried the toll arrangements she told me it was simply a device in the car which would pay the tolls automatically and would recharge my credit card later with the amounts of the tolls. I rent cars all the time and I stay away from cheaper less reputable operators to avoid the type of practices I encountered on this occasion with Avis/Budget. I did not expect this type of deception and mis-selling from Avis/Budget. My point is when the product was sold to me it was sold under false pretences. Nobody would purchase a product for $168 when they know they will use $8 in tolls. That is not right, and is not what should be happening with a reputable rental company. I visit Florida several times every year for the last 15 years always rent a car and this is the first time it has happened. Normally I get recharged for the tolls I use only. Secondly, the car should be ready at the time it is booked, and thirdly a reputable company should not tell you the car is full at the desk and in the paperwork when it was in actual fact half full when I picked the car up, requiring me to go back to the desk and waste more time during the pick up process. It is the worst rental experience I have ever had in Florida.

This company is terrible. I booked for 15 days and when I picked up the car at Miami Airport, the staff asked if I wanted to upgrade the vehicle. I clearly said no. The vehicle I got was exactly the same model as the one I booked, but the contract showed an upgrade fee of $10 per day. Second, they asked if I wanted additional insurance. I told them my booking already included insurance and I didn't need any extra, but the staff still added two more insurances, totaling $394. My English isn’t very good, and when someone checked the contract, I found out about these unjust charges. The next day, I went to the store and the manager immediately acknowledged the mistake with the upgrade fee and canceled the insurance. This company takes advantage of people who aren't fluent in English by adding unnecessary fees. If you rent a car from this company, make sure you understand the contract clearly to avoid being scammed.

Pretty good

The deposit was deducted without sending me the detailed deduction list. I don't know what the charges are for.

When picking up the car, there was a 'routine request' alert on the vehicle. Unsure if it would affect our drive, we asked the rental company and they promptly switched the car for us. Initially pleased, we found upon reaching the parking spot that we were given a sedan instead of the mid-size SUV we reserved. We went back to the service window in the parking lot, but the staff were arrogant, insisting they gave us an SUV and refused to change the car again. If unsatisfied, we had to go to the rental hall on the 4th floor! After multiple contacts with Zuzuche customer service, my child and I dragged three suitcases back and forth from the 2nd floor to the 4th floor four times. Finally, the staff at the rental hall admitted the mistake and gave us the correct SUV. This whole ordeal at the Miami airport rental company delayed us by an hour, affecting our subsequent plans. Although the rental hall staff were very good and Zuzuche's customer service was prompt and proactive, the parking lot staff were arrogant and ignored my explanations and photos. Due to the rental company's mistake, we had to run around in over 30-degree heat, a 40-year-old woman and a minor girl dragging our luggage up and down multiple times!

Forced upselling and very aggressive

They did not use the agreement I had with Zuzuche, instead they presented a long document for me to sign, which included charges different from the rental agreement. They kept urging me to sign quickly while I was in line, otherwise it would be difficult to get the car. This caused me to pay over 100 dollars more.

Car was fine except for the air loss. Woman at the Miami counter was acting up a bit, which was unnecessary.

The staff at Miami Airport were quite diligent and responsible. The contract was explained clearly, and there were no extra charges as rumored. The car pickup was also quite fast.
