The car was fine but I reserved a Ford focus for a little more room and was given a Ford fiesta which is smaller and was lower in price. I was charged the price of a Ford focus, which was more.

i will nevet rent from car rentals again: while making the reservation the hours of operation are not clearly stated. a late arrival resulted in missing office staff which then resulted in multiple taxi fees. moreover the hotel name where the car rental service is located had changed morr than 6 months ago but this information was not updated on the
reservation website. the hotel's address was also not clearly visible which caused me extra time after a more than 24 hour journer. finallt the car rental booking company was very difficult to deal with and would not reimburse me for the extra fees incurred.

Not only did I not receive the car I had paid for, the man at the desk tried to up sell me three times. First he tried to get me to take a car for $20 MORE a day, then $10 more, then $5 more. I had to keep saying no until he finally gave me the price I had signed up for. He also told me that he accidentally gave the car I wanted to the guy in front of me, but then later said that I would have to wait 20 min. for the car I wanted. When I said I'd wait he quickly gave me a different car. Overall it was a confusing and frustrating process in which I felt like he was trying to get more money out of me.

We flew into Santa Barbara and didn't get to the desk until 9:20. We were shocked when the lights were out and weren't sure what to do. Luckily the service rep had ran to the restroom and she explained that we should notify them when we arrive 9:00 PM. Check out was a breeze, however, it was tricky finding our car in the dark and drizzly weather.

Hello,
I feel like I got swindled by Avis.
I had reserved a full size car with general liability insurance for $36 for pickup at Santa Barbara airport, and they did not have the car available I had requested. The man offered me a Ford Mustang and I said no that would not do because we had large luggage (reason for requesting full size) He left left to go talk to someone in the back, returning and said he could offer me a “great deal.” He wrote down on a piece of paper that he could give me his employee discount that he could only give out twice a month, and that he had a Mercedes for me for $69 vs $225 that it normally would cost, total additional. Now I get my final bill and check my statement and have over TWICE the amount I was expecting. My initial rental was for around $136 total for full size rental and insurance for 3 days. My total bill now is for $559. Can someone please look in to this?
