They are the worst customer service ever. They said they had a truck online and then when I went to pick it up. They didn’t. And then they did nothing to help me. They suck

The vehicle was supposed to be at an offsite location. I hailed an Uber at the airport and went to the location at around 4pm on 3/3. It was closed, no one alerted me. Cost me $40 to go back to the airport. There were no other rental cars available. We had to hire a Lyft ride to take us from Grand Junction to Aspen.
So i arriving at the rental company before they opened that morning. 5 minutes before they opened they called me to tell me they did not have a car for me and they had over booked. I then was stuck in Grand Junction because of this rental that i had reserved did not exist. I will never use avis again and i am questioning future reservations with kayak as well. If you don't have the car don't make the reservation vs calling and canceling on the person the morning of. Thanks great service Avis it was going to be $505 for a one day rental and you still screwed me over.

I was charged an additional $500 for a “one way fee” however no one could explain to me why I was charged. It was not on my original receipt and the worker at the return desk could not explain it. I called customer service and was only refunded $300. No workers could explain why I was charged this fee. I would like an additional $200 refunded for this fee that could not be explained to me.
10 minutes after making the reservation they called me and said they had no rentals available. After I landed their row was full of cars. They just did not want to rent one-way rentals so they should say that upfront and not waste people's time.
