The agent at my drop off was rude. He told me to park the car in the garage and bring him the key. He did not inspect the car with me or ask how my rental was or help. I gave him the key and he said he’d email the receipt. I got no paperwork. He should not be working with people- rude, uninvolved with his job and not a good representative for Avis.Reviewed 13 Jun 2026

Extremely disappointed with my experience. I attempted to reserve a rental vehicle and was told that a credit card was required. I had a valid debit card with sufficient funds available, but Avis refused to accept it for the reservation. What made the situation even more frustrating was that no alternative solution was offered. I understand companies have policies, but customer service should be able to provide options or accommodations, especially when a customer is ready and willing to rent a vehicle. Instead, I was simply turned away without any effort to help me complete the reservation. This experience was inconvenient, frustrating, and a complete waste of time. If you don’t have a credit card on hand, be aware that you may not be able to rent a vehicle, and don’t expect much assistance in finding a solution.Reviewed 9 Jun 2026

We had to change our pick up time due to delays. We tried calling the Albany location MANY times but no one answered. Then we called Avis directly and they said there were no cars available if we changed our time, even though we had booked a vehicle. We ended up with no car and had to find alternate transportation. Terrible customer service!Reviewed 7 Jul 2025

Perhaps a quick run down of all the controls and options on this particular car would have been helpful. I struggled with figuring out how to use the cruise control etc.Reviewed 3 Jul 2025

I was lied to, overcharged, and spent many days on hold with the horrible customer service in Albany. I will never rent from Avis again.Reviewed 11 Nov 2023
