Avis uses partner Unidas at Fortaliza Brazil airport. Unidas seizeed car without warning or explanation with prior rental on 5/4/26 leaving me stranded. Rental was prepaid via Amex Cc with Unidas /Avis for 4/23/26 through 5/23/26 per signed agreement. Avis nor Unidas will not credit the 19 prepaid days remaining. Have since found out that Unidas seized car to protect asset due to a US $58 ONLY pending dispute by Amex on 4/27/26 for an unauthorized/declined fuel return charge at 4/23/26 pickup. Unidas did not respond to Amex dispute inquiry. Canceled the 5/23/26-5/27/26 res with Avis/Unidas because of deceptive fraud practice. Avis Budget Group Resolution Team not willing to accurately investigate issue with supported docs., & quickly denied any credit due with only a form letter tesponse. There was also many english language translation barriers with team. Undias unwilling to resolve at pickup/dropoff airport counter.Reviewed May 28 2026

My 2nd time using them. I'm a foreigner from the USA. I get picked up from the airport and also dropped off at the airport. I like them because while I'm traveling they pay for all the tolls while others I've used do not.Reviewed May 27 2026
