The cost of returning the car is very unpredictable. There are hidden charges. I expected the rental to be 97, but ended up having to pay an extra 120 for three-quarters of a tank of fuel. Absolutely ridiculous.
The staff said that since I had been in the U.S. for over six months, I was not eligible for the prepaid discount. They issued a new order on the spot, costing an extra $40! The service attitude was very unfriendly. Despite a long line of customers behind me, she slowly explained that I couldn't get the discount package.
“Awful experience with Budget/Avis scam auto toll charges.”
About AVIS:5.0/10
I had a charge 24 hours after dropping the car back for ‘TOL’ $168.87. This is apparently a fixed charge toll product which was completely mis represented to me. The car was not ready when I arrived at the desk. I made it clear to the clerk that I would not be using the car in an area of Florida with toll roads except for leaving and returning to the airport. When I queried the toll arrangements she told me it was simply a device in the car which would pay the tolls automatically and would recharge my credit card later with the amounts of the tolls.
I rent cars all the time and I stay away from cheaper less reputable operators to avoid the type of practices I encountered on this occasion with Avis/Budget. I did not expect this type of deception and mis-selling from Avis/Budget.
My point is when the product was sold to me it was sold under false pretences. Nobody would purchase a product for $168 when they know they will use $8 in tolls. That is not right, and is not what should be happening with a reputable rental company.
I visit Florida several times every year for the last 15 years always rent a car and this is the first time it has happened. Normally I get recharged for the tolls I use only.
Secondly, the car should be ready at the time it is booked, and thirdly a reputable company should not tell you the car is full at the desk and in the paperwork when it was in actual fact half full when I picked the car up, requiring me to go back to the desk and waste more time during the pick up process.
It is the worst rental experience I have ever had in Florida.
