They did not have an economy car available despite the fact that I had booked economy.The car was dirty. The attendant made an excuse to say she tried to clean up the car but in fact she did nothing. There was dirt in the trunk and around the hinges of the trunk door.

The staff at pick-up was super friendly.The interior of the car could have been cleaner. The drop-off experience could have been WAY better. They might be able to update their Computer System - 1 -easy access for local locations to change drop-off if that's what the customer is requesting, and 2 - have the ability to convert currency!

I had a lot of difficulty trying to manage the rental (make changes) online. Also used the chat line, who were unable to help & gave me a phone number to call that was out of service. Then, when I only wanted to change my pickup & drop-off time, it wanted to make me restart the whole rental process.

It should have been made clear that off site pick up was to avoid the Airport surtax. This was not a problem and solved by a short taxi ride.
10.0 Excellent29 Aug 2021
The car was very clean and comfortable, rode very smoothly and quietly. I appreciated the fact that I did not have to return it to the downtown location but could leave it at the airport when I leave. Saves much time and effort when leaving on an early morning flight. The price quoted was very competitive. I will probably use Kayak again when I rent my next vehicle.
4.8 Okay4 Nov 2020
Noone was there when I dropped the car off. I found papertowel (used) in the car. Not acceptable at all given this is a Covid pandemic. I was told after I had booked the car that Costco members get a discount. The agents never really tell you about any features or benefits. When I showed up the woman was not there so I had to wait for her.

Nothing but the initial price of the car itself.Customer service, after hour return policy, initial and final inspection accuracy, insurance plans, ease of finding the rental place, and so many more.

When someone rents a GPS it should have instructions with it or the operation be explained. I could not get sound out of it and old address kept coming up. It was night time rain and it seems all the City is in Construction, and the GPS does not work very dangerous.

Overall great experience. You call for a shuttle at the airport and they come in about ten mins to get you. The car was overall good - we got the surprise one and it was a Kia sedan. We’ll maintained car. We’d rent from this company again!

Did not like anything about my experience. Company called me 7 minutes before pick up to inform me that there was no vehicle available for me. Had to alter my plans for the long weekend. On top of all that, my payment wont be refunded for at least another 10-15 business days. Not a positive experience at all. Won’t use them again.
4.0 Okay16 Jan 2022
Sooo, booking said unlimited mileage but in person I was surprised when the front desk lady said there’s a 200km limit. She was nice enough to make it 300km after I said I was under the impression it was unlimited. I was also surprised again by a $1,500 security deposit which was never mentioned when I booked. Also, I was forced to take the daily insurance. This booking was just full of surprises, not what I expected at all. Customer service was meh, they tried to help where they could but nothing over the top. Overall, I’d go else where next time for a rental.
2.0 Mediocre16 Nov 2021
Poor customer service. No detail information. Hiden charges. Not like other rental companies. Everything you have to read before you book.

We had purchased rental insurance through thinking we were doing the insurance through you but in actuality we later found out that tha insurance agency was a third part called Allianz Global Assistance. The car rental man did not have any record of that so when he asked if we wanted insurance I figured that the earlier transaction for purchase did not go through. In fact I later learned it had gone through and this I was charged for insurance twice.,,once by Allianz Global and a second time by the car rental man. Fortunately I was doing other online banking, noticed the charge from Allianz, disputed the charge with them and was refunded. If you are using a third party for insurance good idea to have open line of communication between you and them so that the customer doesn’t get duplicate charges as in my case.

These guys are extremely flexible. I got stuck at the border twice and both times they allowed me to return the car 4-6 hours late, without any extra charge. Once the car was not clean and had smoke smell so an hour was wasted at pick up. Without any demand from my side they gave me a refund of 25 CAD to make up. The guy Vivek, is extremely friendly and accomodating. The downside of my experience is that I am still waiting for the refund of 500 CAD a month later, despite several reminders.

6.0 Good24 Feb 2022
The vehicle was a year-old, high end Ford Escape SUV. Nice! However, the vehicle had not been cleaned when I went to pick it up at the agreed time, so I had to wait 30 extra minutes in their offices while they cleaned it. Secondly, the vehicle did not have snow tires. It was a dangerous trip. Given the winds, ice, and blowing snow, I was literally worried for some sections of the trip that we would have an accident and possibly die. Thirdly, one or more of the tires was not balanced. We had an 1100 km drive, round trip, and it was AWFUL the whole time, as the whole vehicle shuddered above 80 km/h. Going through Toronto, where the traffic was moving at 120+, the seats and all our luggage were shaking, and our voices were affected as we spoke -- that helicopter pilot sound. It was a long and extremely uncomfortable trip. It gave me a very long time to consider the negative reviews I would leave when I got home. This is one of them.

1.9 Horrible16 Oct 2021
This company is simply not interested in renting cars to people who have money. From the se one I arrived until the second I left , the agent at the counter could not have been any more rude. Not sure if it’s the way I look ( 100% it is ) but for the life of of me I could not get him to give me the car I choose wanted and paid for! It’s was insane, I drive an Audi and wanted something comparable, so I choose premium class , I called ahead and everything was ready until I arrived. This man looked like I was bothering him and then greeted me by saying “ what” ! I politely gave him my name and said we spoke earlier I believe, he said nope not me ! Turns out that all the other 30 vehicles were unavailable and had reservations, the only car he had was a Corolla, and it might not be clean if that was ok, it was all mine! For 25 mins this man did everything he could think up of to make sure that I only got the Corolla. I understood who he was and what he was doing , and I have zero time for that kind of garbage , so I canceled politely and left. Or so he though, took less then 10 mins for someone to walk up and within 5 mins off they went in the bmw ! It’s 2021, last time I checked , my money is just the same as other peoples money. Never again AVIS YOW
3.9 Mediocre2 Sep 2021
The rules at Avis are far too rigid. As a foreign traveller it seemed their policies were set for local drivers only. When I didn’t have the kind of card they accept (German card) it wasn’t possible to use my companions Canadian card as payment as she didn’t have a drivers license. It also took an incredibly long time to process the booking (45 minutes in all) when we had already made the reservation and provided all of our information online. I would not go with Avis again.
1.9 Horrible18 Jul 2021
Truly a terrible experience in both the pick-up and drop-off of the vehicle. The vehicle had been booked weeks in advance and had been set to be picked up at a location that would be open after our flight had landed in Ottawa; the hours on the website and booking site both indicated they would be open upon our arrival. Upon landing we arrived at the Avis location and saw that there was a notice on the door saying that effective immediately their hours had changed. They were closed. The number on the door was for the inside so that was of no use to us. We called Avis (impossible to get through) and they said that our rental is cancelled and that we should have called. All Avis representatives could not comprehend that one cannot call on an airplane saying that we are on our way (flight delayed from 1500-1600 arrival). After numerous phone calls with Avis and call drops (ridiculous wait times leading to call dropping on their end), I spoke with someone the next morning who accused me of not being reliable, and a poor customer. That would be a nice conversation to hear on their recording. He also said that they canceled our reservation and should have shown up… After dealing with that I called the original Avis dealer as they should be open with their new hours (0730), no one would pick up until (0805). The rep said he can see what he can do but that we should have showed up the day previously or called from the air (??). He said he would call us back. He called back and said he could give us a rental. The rental price was not discounted and charged us the extra day. He was also quite accusatory as well. The drop off location no one was on site when we went to drop off the vehicle (1100), so we called the number and he arrived 15 minutes later. When we went to ask for some leniency with pricing because of the issues he said he can’t do anything so just figure it out later. Horrible customer service on all fronts. Would advise to use a different company. Would like to be contacted regarding this issue.

Despite booking an intermediate on Kayak, the Avis received my booking as a compact. Thankfully, Avis found an intermediate car for me at a nearby location for no extra charge, which I appreciated. Seems like a miscommunication between the Kayak and Avis systems.
6.8 Good28 Aug 2020
We received quite a larger vehicle than booked as the type of vehicle we had booked was not available so I think the vehicle should have been the correct size. Also, the vehicle had Florida license plates and being in Canada and driving, because of the travel restrictions and people’s heightened stress, we didn’t feel comfortable driving in Canada with the Florida plates under Covid.
10.0 Excellent10 Apr 2019
After streetparking my mirror had been flopped back. Sure enough-two dents in the door - I had been side swiped. I reported to insurance and Avis Ottawa who were very calm and supportive. Returning the car, an employee immediately told me that it was old damage. Honest and clear service.
2.0 Mediocre25 Feb 2019
The rental place was supposed to open at 8 A.M. (as was indicated on their own front door), which was when my pickup was arranged for. I got there at 8:05 A.M. and waited until 8:25 A.M. until I had to find other arrangements to get to my appointment because no one showed up.
