My experience started off a bit bumpy. My reservation was for a 5pm pick-up, but when I showed up to the location the office was closed, and the business hours indicted it had closed at 4pm. I should not have been able to make a reservation outside of business hours if that was the case. Funnily enough I had also called a few days before to ask if I could pick it up earlier but they said it wasn't available any earlier than 5pm.... again, I don't see how that's possible if it was outside of business hours. Anyways, I called the customer support line and they re-booked me at another nearby location so in the end it worked out, but all in all it took me 1.5 hours longer than planned...

Reserved a car on the same day. Arrived at the Avis Car rental shop, within minutes I was driving off the car lot. The car was a little dirty but I guess it was due to the short notice of my rental reservation.

We booked a vehicle and we understood the option of AWD was not a guarantee, but we took the chance and made our reservations. I called the shop and spoke with Bennet who assured me he'd do what he could to get us a AWD vehicle. Low and behold, I had a partially new (8k miles) Clean AWD SUV waiting for me when I arrived. Very helpful and friendly staff made it happen.

I chose Budget for ease of pick up, not wanting to take a shuttle offsite. I reserved a Hyundai Elantra (or equivalent intermediate). I received emails daily that better deals were available elsewhere but kept this reservation for convenience. When we arrived we were given numerous ominous warnings since we declined the rental car coverage (have coverage through Amex Platinum). Was told I had my choice of a Nissan Sentra (no other choices). Took Nissan, got most battered car I've ever seen in a rental.

I booked this rental through the site, when I got to the rental place, they first could not find the car I reserved, then they final put me into a different car (A free upgrade they said) but then they started in with the add ons. They flat said that the insurance I bought through the web site was useless and would not cover the vehicle. They insisted that I buy there insurance for 16.99 a day right then or I would be dinged for anything that could happen to the car. I would like the insurance I bought through your site refunded and you should make sure that your customers know it is not the rentals insurance.

There were no issues with the pick up and drop off but after I drove away I realized that the car smelled like soured milk. Maybe the previous renters had spilled milk in it. Luckily it was only a one way rental to LAX.

What fuel policy do you recommend?

Tips before you leave the lot

Make sure you go over a few things before you leave the car rental lot on your Santa Ana adventure. You should:

  • Check out the vehicle and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
  • Check the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
  • Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and wipers
  • Get comfortable operating the entertainment and GPS (if available). It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are driving around a new city
