I was surprised that I had paid in advance. The check-in took more than an hour with only one clerk checking people in. Apparently she was waiting for cars to be returned.Reviewed Apr 1 2026

The woman who helped us at the counter was kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. We were renting for just one day to see the Redwoods and she gave us some tips and started our day of exploration off on a kind note.Reviewed Oct 21 2025

very little to like. had to wait nearly an hour for a reserved car to become available. initial interaction with staff extremely frustrating (don't know when one will become available)...had to talk with a manager who, in fairness, was apologetic. added fees and taxes added 50% to the rate quoted by Kayak (Kayak's fault to not disclose?). Avis then tried to overcharge upon return; had to call them to correct. Will avoid renting through Kayak and Avis in the future.Reviewed Nov 14 2024

The pick up experience was terrible. I am a preferred member but I still had to wait 30 minutes for the car to come. It was unacceptable so they then had to find another vehicle for me.Reviewed Oct 20 2024
