If the company had a policy of showing 2 government id’s with pictures then that should be announced clearly in all communications before we go to pick the car ( having it on a piece of paper on the wall printed by staff is not enough) . so we don’t end up having arguments between staff and customers . when I picked the car the staff were Impolite and unprofessional.

Better communication with telephone conversation prior to pickup. Asked if it could be extended as we had 10am pickup and 2pm next day drop off. Person on phone said only an hour. I should have talked to rep at pickup as as we returned it they said we could keep it til next day no cost

I didn't use the car, because they kept me waiting for 1 hour at the airport for the shuttle and then told me there is mileage cost although in the email it was clearly noted that mileage is unlimited. They told me to cancel it through priceline and I asked them for the refund.

It was listed as being at the airport but upon arrival I realized I’d have to take a shuttle to pick up the car. The shuttle took 45 minutes to get me. The location was a warehouse that seemed to be falling apart, the woman working the front desk was rude. Their printer and computers didn’t work so i was made to sign all agreements on my cell phone on a low quality non-legible document. The shuttle driver to bring me back to airport threw my luggage in the seat next to me rather than in the trunk so it was flying all over the place. He was on his phone speaking to someone the whole drive there, and then when he pulled up, he didn’t open the door to the shuttle truck, didn’t offer to help me unload my luggage (which I had to drag across 3 seats to get out) and didn’t acknowledge me at all. Sped off as soon as I closed the door.

Everything was great, our family really enjoys the car we have rent it. Ford Escape hybrid is the way to go when you are travelling. It only cost us less than $200 of gas by to travel 11 days around the east coast of Canada.

The staff at Gladstone Ottawa Avis were wonderful. I did have difficulty figuring out the Avis drop off place in Toronto was actually at the airport. It would be nice if they somehow could convey that since it had a street address. Unfortunately, I had to cut my trip short and was only charged for the days I rented. I will book again wiyh Avis.

Please check the validity of the vendors that you work with. I searched for a vehicle rental through the Kayak platform which directed me to another third party booking site called QEEQ. When I arrived at the location for my booking, the vehicle was not available. I was told they never carry that type of vehicle. I was not able to reach anyone from the QEEQ customer service to sort out the issue. I am now out 500 USD for a vehicle I did not receive
