I initially booked my rental based on the the availability I needed for pickup and drop off. As well as looking at the distance to my pickup and drop off needs. After I booked it, I saw the google reviews and decided to check them. After reading the negative experiences I instantly started to regret my decision. Unfortunately, I was too busy to research and find another rental company to meet my needs. So, I figured I would bite the bullet and live on the wild side. I was overly surprised at the service I received in Austin TX when picking up the car. When I started my drive, I did notice a smoke smell and the drive alignment was off. So I called to make a note to ensure I wouldn’t be unjustly charged. They were very friendly and helpful. I guess when booking I had favor with the fates.

My husband and I had been rented in location for 10+ years. We had great experiences particularly with this Avis location. Our most recent rental was in Jan 2022. They used to be the closest to the neighborhood that we lived long time ago. Even though we moved to another part of the town and they are far away from us, we still go back to rent from them. They were always courteous and had their vehicles clean and ready. There were a couple of times that we had issues with the cars and drove back for the exchange, they always did their best to fit us in another car ASAP. We never had any bill issues, or waited long for our cars to get ready, and the owner or anyone worked there were always professional and nice. We'll go back to rent from them more often for sure.

  • Ann Stewart

Dallas airport is the only place I have had trouble renting a car from Avis. At any other Avis location been to I have had no trouble.. Also, I have had with Avis is at the corporate level. I have been trying to get my company credit card put on my account for about a year now, and have not been able to do so. I have called the corporate office many times and have been told they cannot do this, with no clear explanation as to why not.The problem is still not remedied. It's frustrating. I am really not sure how to proceed and do not get a helpful answer from any of the customer service reps I have spoken to.

  • Linda O'Krent

I had a wreck several weeks back and Chris and Pam were the rental agency selected. It was a total cluster and they continually dealt with and solved the over extended time that it took for my car to be fixed and they worked tirelessly with the insurance company. I was absolutely amazed with their patience, good customer service and ability to solve the issues I was having!!!! I re-rented the day that I finally turned my car in, for a trip I am making here shortly! When I need a rental car from here on out, I will use Chris and Pam! They truly are the definition of customer service! Thanks, guys!!

  • Adindu Okoro

I had my car break down a couple weeks ago and renting from this location was the fastest and most efficient rental car experience I've had. The owner Pamela happened to be in on her day off and helped with my reservation so I didn't have to wait in front of me. Information was exchanged with no hassle and when I needed to extend my rental due to delay of repairs on my car being fixed that process was super easy. 5 stars for the staff at this location. Edit: 3 years later this is still the best location I've gone to. I've rented cars all over the country and felt like updating my review.

  • Deborah Donovan

I love Avis Car Rental. It is one of the few places you can rent a car from on a Sunday that you do not have to go to the airport. I rent from Burnet Road and Research. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. I am usually in and out in less than 5 mins. I have been very happy with the selection of the cars I have rented. The very first time I rented they went through all the policies and procedures and helped me figure out where everything in the car was (gas tank, lights, high tech features). It is that type of customer service that keeps me coming back.

  • Kathy R

It is ridiculously difficult to get in touch by phone with a live person at the local office where I rented from. I called two different times before and after I rented the vehicle because I had questions and the automated menus are so long, plus they didn't even apply to my questions. Both times I ended up so frustrated I just hung up. I finally just drove to the office the next day to see if I'd left something in the car because I could not get through on the phone. That is unacceptable, and probably why I won't rent from Avis again.

  • Betty Z

I live in Austin and rent a vehicle whenever I travel within the state for business as it is cheaper than charging my company mileage and saves the mileage on my own vehicle. I always rent from the Burnet location and always will! Chris and Pam are great as well as all of their employees. They always greet me with a smile and are quick to get me in and out. They always ask how the rental was when I return it and if there is anything they could do better to let them know. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a rental in Austin!!

  • Grace Almada

My truck had to stay at the dealership and get serviced over night. Thankfully Pamela came to the rescue as her agency was a mile away. The customer service at this location has always been fantastic as I have used it more than once. I was in and out very quickly, escorted to my car and handed the keys with a smile. Pamela always makes sure to go the extra mile anytime I've needed a rental. I can not recommend this location enough! Definitely my goto for the rest of my days when I need a vehicle, lol.

  • Monica P

Reserving online was easy and although there was only one person at the desk on Sunday morning, the wait was not long. We were fortunate to get a free upgrade because the class of car we reserved was not available. Our agent was friendly and helped us avoid additional fees by recommending we pre-reserve an additional day if I thought I would not make it back on time. We did make it back on time and paid our original one-day rental. The Nissan Altima was clean, nearly new, and had great gas mileage.

  • Anita Wyndham

The ONLY rental car place I use is AVIS and the Burnet Rd location is the ONLY location I will EVER use! I love the entire staff, so helpful, friendly and FAST! I never have a problem getting the rentals I need when I need them! This location should definitely receive some sort of awards! TOP NOTCH! And let me add that whenever I have come across a billing issue or the such, on those VERY rare occasions, they ALWAYS take care of me and make sure I'm 100% satisfied! LOVE this place, LOVE the people!

  • Lo Lopez

The man at the counter, Mark I believe, tried to scam me. Told me he couldn’t give me my reservation for the price I was quoted, and also told me that he couldn’t bill to insurance - after an hour on the phone with customer service they warned me this is not true at that the location is being untruthful as they do bill to insurance and my reservation and price were secured per my confirmation. Took my business to the Avis down the street and everything was handled with no problems!

  • Brenda Herrera

I live in Elgin tx but I Don't mind doing the drive to Burnet Rd I have rented cars with other companies on the past but there is no comparison with this one I always go back to this location they make things so easy and I always get late model cars, I always tell my family and friends don't waste your time checking around for better deals just go there and I promise you be satisfied, great people working there !

  • bayleigh n.

This is the only facility/company I will ever use. This location is not really near my house, but I know that I can trust them to take care of us and do the best job possible. We had an issue with the car this time around, but they took care of us and went above our expectations to make sure that we were taken care of - and because of that, they will remain the only place I will ever use. Thank you!!!

  • J Curtis

I have been renting from Avis for about 8-9 years now and just love the service that they give me every time I want to rent a car for a week or longer to drive back home to see my family. I go home to Columbia Missouri once a year and I rent from Avis because they give me there best deals and the staff is so wonderful just love this company.

  • E Brooks

The staff is friendly, and they have taken all the recommended precautions. This is my go-to location for rentals (business and leisure), even though there are several locations in closer proximity to my home and office. I appreciate the easy of renting from this location, the convenience of the night drop box is also another plus!

  • Paul Jordan

Great service here, I was greeted right away when I picked up my car and when I went to return my car early on Sunday morning I was expecting to wait but the attendant was early and got me on my way very quickly! I highly recommend this location for locals who need to rent cars and do not want to head down to the airport.

  • Ken Smith (Kid Ken)

No other car rental in Austin can compare to the customer service that Pamela, Jaren, and Chris provide. Pick up and drop off is always seamless, they are always pleasant, and their cars are always in great condition! Also, cars are always full of gas, and clean! This is the only place I will rent from in Austin!

  • Fred R Soto

Got to Austin just in time to find out there were no vehicles available at the airport because of Formula 1. Took an Uber to our hotel and they found us a rental the next day. Traded it in in several days because of a screw imbedded in a rear tire and got a very fair rate for the rest of our reservation.

  • Fabian Segli

Great customer experience. This was my second time renting from this location and Marc provided me with not only excellent customer service, but also the best choice of car for my long road trip. I will definitely continue to rent from this location in the future.

  • Christoph Greiner

Arrived there without any reservation. Very friendly lady at the desk gave us a great car at a fantastic rate and we took off within ten minutes after our arrival. Return was completed in less than five minutes. Same lady, again very friendly. 100% recommended!

  • S.Alexander Neal

My original rental was a great experience but I’m super disappointed when trying to extend it the representative on the phone trying to charge me double the normal writing rent from my first time to extend it is exact amount of days I had it before.

  • Melissa

This is a great location. The customer service is wonderful, very friendly and helpful. SUV was basically brand new. Very clean. The check in and out process was very fast. Go here to get your rental instead of the airport...that location is awful.

  • Katelynn Giao Nguyen

Rented from this location 3x now and every time a great and smooth transaction! Their cars are always clean, I’m in and out within minutes! Great customer service and I can see the guy at the front treats every customer with respect and kindness.

  • Ashley Ellis

I cannot give this Avis Car Rental location enough praise! We were really in a bind as we had reserved a rental in advance from a different company for a large SUV and the day we went to go get it, there was nothing available and nothing

  • Nathan Bracher

The car felt super safe and clean, and when I came to pick it up everyone was wearing a mask. Plus they offered me a free upgrade to an SUV instead of the car I had initially rented. I was very nervous but this was wonderfully easy

  • Matt Cronk

A very good experience when picking up a prepaid car when the Avis office opened in the morning. A pleasant greeting, quick service, and good car for the one way trip. Cruised very comfortably on I-35 and got 40 mpg in a Kia Forte.

  • Rosalind Fowler

Avis has been awesome for renting a vehicle, , my two daughters were needing cars and were able to rent vehicles as well. my insurance didn't provide car rental - after my auto accident, but Avis as offered a claims discount.

  • Yichen Adrianna Zhang (Adrianna)

I had a great experience with this Avis rental! I made the reservation online and prepaid. Was in and out in 5 minutes even though I booked less than an hour in advance. The staff is very friendly and super helpful.

  • Tim Cone

I rent cars two to therr times a month. This place is great if you make reservations online, not so super if you come in ad hoc...anything out of the ordinary dramatically slows the line if the manager isnt there.
