We had one issue. On arriving about 9:30p 25 Apr 25 in Tucson, computers were down so the fellow checking us in had to fill out the paperwork by hand. But he was excellent, with a totally positive can-do attitude and everything worked out fine. I didn't get his name, but he was the only agent there at the time and he deserves a 5 star rating for his work. Definitely above and beyond. The car itself, a Mazda CX-50, was also a pleasureReviewed May 1 2026

Oly was a wonderful person who provided a couple of different models that were available. He did not rush me and explained the features on the vehicle before I left. It was an experience I have never had and highly recommend Avis in Alhambra.Reviewed Apr 30 2026

When I got there, they only had 18 passenger vans. They did not have the car reserved. It was 11 PM and I had my two nephews with me. They ended up giving me an electric car that was not charged. It was my first time driving an electric car, and I actually loved the way the car drove, however, we had to stop and charge it to get to my brother’s house because it only had 30% charge when we left Avis. By the time we got to my brothers it had something like 9% charge left. We charged it for 40 minutes and only gained 1%. The next day I had to park the car at the charger and leave it. I was not able to use the car at all. It only served me to get to my brothers and to get back to the airport. And I could only get back to the airport by charging it for six hours. Meanwhile, my brother had two electric chargers that we could not use because they did not have a Tesla converter plug in the car. Those plugs are free from Hyundai, but they didn’t have them so high-speed charging was out as an option. The car was dirty as well. I was told I could exchange the car, but the only Avis dealership within the range of the charge that I had had no cars. So I paid a lot of money for a car I couldn’t use.Reviewed Apr 30 2026

Avis promised a Cadillac, a full luxury car. Instead, they provided a Kia with 35,000 miles on it. It was a mediocre exchange. I asked for a financial compensation for that downgrade and I was told that Avis may take care of it later. It feels like a bait and switch to me.Reviewed Apr 30 2026
