You need more staff at that location. When I picked up the car there were 3 people in front of me and only one person in the office to process the paperwork, explain the options and deliver the cars. Your employee was very efficient and professional but he was doing the job of at least 3 people.

Our Van was perfect! Michael, at the Avis rental car in Escondido was professional and efficient. He explained how all of the options in the van worked and was very gracious with his time. Avis/Busget is lucky to have him as an employee.
Maybe check their inventory and make sure they have the car I'm asking for before confirming my booking. Duh

Couldn't get the car because apparently the original reservation had the wrong date on it. It allowed me to reserve again on the correct date even tho they didn't have the level of car I was trying to reserve. They also wouldn't upgrade me to something else suitable for the same price. When I tried to cancel the reservation, the web site wouldn't allow it so I rented elsewhere since they can't charge me anyway.
