We felt bad when we dropped off the vehicle that the spikes ruined a tire. It's hard to see coming into the parkade from the bright sun, while looking for signage of where to go. A different system would be helpful, or signage warning about the spikes.

I had a terrible experience. I ordered an SUV and when I arrived the ride AVIS person said I ordered a Tesla. I showed him my reservation with a picture of the SUV in the reservation and he said well you ordered thru a third party and you need to call them. I always rent thru Kayak and Allvis. It was late I had no choice but to take a Yukon truck with was more than double my reservation I had. So disappointed. I travel every week and was treated very unprofessionally. I will never rent AVIS again snd will make sure everyone knows about my experience!!

Everything went smoothly with easy pick up and drop off. The only issue we had was with the brakes after the 3rd day. They were making a thumping noise when we applied them going down steep inclines in the rockies and the steering wheel was vibrating. I was told by a mechanic that the issue was probably a warped rotor so he advised us to not ride the brakes going down a steep hill and to use them moderately.
