Returning the car was a piece of cake with no hidden charges (they even made sure that the price billing sounded right before processing it). —SeanRegan

Avis now rents to 21-24 year olds. However, there is a $25/day surcharge and they won't rent you a passenger van, full-size/luxury SUV, or luxury car.

I had a pretty unique request: I needed a car to take my driver's test in and Avis let me rent out the car unlicensed as long as another licensed driver was doing the renting, and accepted full responsibility for what I did with the car. They added me on as a second driver, I got the optional insurance, and they gave me the paperwork necessary for the DMV. The lady at the counter was a bit spacey and I had to explain things multiple times. Another issue is that I had to return the car with a full tank since I supposedly rented it out on a full tank but that wasn’t quite the case so I ended up giving them at least a gallon more than I used. When I returned the car, there was also an issue where I had scheduled the car to be rented for about a day and a half but they assumed only a day and were about to charge me for two but they gave me a discount due to the discrepancy, so I was good. —RachelPeters

Davis-Avis has always been my location of choice. The lack of a night-time dropoff is kind of a drag, but otherwise this place is great. —BarryRice

2009-08-23 23:27:28   Today, my friends and I were at the Nugget Market on Covell which shares the parking lot with Avis. As we were leaving, a red 'Focus' belonging to Avis came speeding through the parking lot like a maniac in front of Nugget, nearly slammed into my car and then another, all the while screeching tires and blasting the horn repeatedly, with no concern for pedestrians crossing the road in front of the store. We watched the car return to the front of the Avis office. The driver could have been a customer, but also may have been an employee of Avis. It was quite unsettling as the driver nearly plowed into 2 cars driving dangerously fast through a 5-10 mph parking lot. We will be seeking to confirm the identity of the driver as they were endangering the public and should not be permitted to drive anything. If the person was just a customer, we certainly mean nothing against Avis as they cannot control how people drive the rented car. If the person works for Avis, immediate action must be taken before they hurt someone. —JSully
