### 3/5 — Wrong car after reserving

*2026-08-22, version 22.26*

Selected standard car pay later, when pulling up reservation car is compact car for different price. Canceled and tried again same thing, need to fix the App

### 1/5 — No cars

*2026-08-18, version 22.26*

Preferred customer with reservation but line is 50 people long with no cars.

### 2/5 — Decline in the App’s Ease of Use

*2026-08-17, version 22.26*

The Avis App was very user-friendly, and easy to navigate and understand. Now, there are so many “hidden charges” and “implied conditions” that it greatly benefits the company more than the loyal customer.

### 1/5 — $50 to cancel 2 days early.

*2026-08-17, version 22.26*

WTF! Are you kidding me. Way to loose a customer for life!

### 1/5 — Norfolk was horrible

*2026-08-17, version 22.26*

I had a reservation for a vehicle at Norfolk Airport. They overbooked and were having system issues. I told them to cancel the reservation when it got to a 2 hour wait for the vehicle. I checked today, August 17, 2026 and the vehicle was never cancelled. I cancelled it and I hope I don’t get charged. Absolutely horrible customer care and service.

### 1/5 — More car options when selecting my car

*2026-08-16, version 22.26*

It would be nice if we got more options when selecting a car. 
Also going from a full-size to a crossover or small SUV is not an upgrade. An upgrade from a full-size car would be a premium luxury or an electric car. ( not putting somebody in a crossover or an SUV.) 
This location also loves to nickel and dime people

### 1/5 — Weekly forced app updates SUCKS

*2026-08-15, version 22.26*

What more is there to say. Stupid.

### 1/5 — Dishonest

*2026-08-14, version 22.26*

Made a reservation, had to cancel it within hours, got charged a 50.00 fee. I had to cancel because a funeral I was headed to got changed!

### 1/5 — NO AVAILABLE CARS

*2026-08-14, version 22.26*

Reserved in advance no cars poor service no courtesy call… spent money on uber to pick up and sat for 3 hours!!! TERRIBLE 
 MISSED FLIGHT UNACCEPTABLE!!! Never doing business again

### 1/5 — Tedious

*2026-08-14, version 22.26*

This is by far the worst app I have tried to navigate and really tedious. Why change my Wizard #? Ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Just make lost time

*2026-08-14, version 22.25*

I rental app that doesn’t allow you to update your drivers license. Not a good app

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2026-08-26*

My email and password work on avis website but don’t work on the app, it says I entered wrong information. Useless app, I am just deleting it.

### 1/5 — Corrupt company/horrible customer service

*2026-08-23, version 22.26*

Stay away from this company, 50% of the time there is always something wrong with the car, no windshield wiper fluid, smells like smoke inside, dings everywhere and will expect u to pay for it if you don’t have proof it wasn’t there before,engine light on/oil levels, etc.. also the points system is corrupt, last I looked they were going to charge me 2100 for one free day when the base price was $42 (which should have been 700 points) but customer service makes up or just doesn’t even check what your talking about and says some BS response.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2026-08-23, version 22.26*

Disappointment of a car rental place as always. Provide card after card for the reservation and even though I accidentally leave the physical at home there’s just ABSOLUTELY no possible way to use them. They must put a hold on all my checking account and do a credit check AND keep my money at least 2 weeks. And THEN when you cancel the reservation they get to keep $50! Great scam of a company you got going. And I’m stranded. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Search

*2026-08-23, version 22.26*

Your search to find available cars makes the user select each individual location.

### 1/5 — Still Supported?

*2026-08-23, version 22.26*

This App no longer launches. On launching it freezes then crashes. So presently unusable and 0 stars.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-08-22, version 22.26*

Won’t add reservations on the app have to go through email and the web. Tried charging me an extra $800 for removing a car seat online credited 80. They should get to work on this app immediately. Completely outdated and unacceptable

### 1/5 — Bad design

*2026-08-21, version 22.26*

Tried to do rental pre check while waiting in a line of 40 people wanting to rent a car. And the app does not even work. Cannot pre-checkin feature is totally impossible to use. Horrible design.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2026-08-20, version 22.26*

Let’s you do a reservation and pay in advance only to be called from store that there is no vehicles available and I need to call a different store as they can’t check or transfer. Now I have to wait 7 days for a refund they gladly took in seconds

### 1/5 — No cars and terrible customer service

*2026-08-19, version 22.26*

Arrived at the Jackson airport and there were no cars for several folks were waiting in line with confirmed reservations. Customer service was terrible. They didn’t care they didn’t wanna help. They just said no sorry call at one 800 number. I called the number and of course it was after hours and they didn’t care. Nobody answered. I tried to chat multiple times and received a response on the chat, composed by copilot. Because it basically was copied and paste it with the information that says copilot says:. Probably not gonna do this ever again with Avis just terrible after our support terrible customer service at the counter and no resolution of the fact that they had no cars for a confirmed resolution. I was stranded.

### 1/5 — Utter failure

*2026-08-18, version 22.26*

Never have a car and never have my preferred reservation- total failure multiple times in Indianapolis and Newport Beach
