This is my email to the Sedgewick agent, Andrew, who basically did the minimal to help me resolve my claim which is still pending and now I will have to go through my own insurance. An Avis driver who had full coverage, hit our parked car. When we tried to get it fixed...

1st October, just booked my 6th Rental with Hertz, avioding AVIS like the plague!
Update by user Sep 01
AVIS, absolutely nothing happened, therefore moved my 20+ rentals a year to HERTZ. It appears that AVIS do not value customer service, so they can stick their attempts to gain loyalty

Avis review: Car prepaid but not available when pick up
I booked a pre-paid car in Atlanta airport with Avis. When I arrived to pick up the car, the associate named -Gary- without any patience said, there is no car and the system was wrong. I asked him to take a look my confirmation email or talk to their customer service. He refused and said you are the fifth customer today booked a prepaid car, but I know we don't have a car! they charged me more than 250 bucks, they don't have a car and even don't have a sorry!

Hello. While I work for Avis, I am NOT an official representative and cannot respond to contract issues.
I just work for another station. It is true that you must come in each time if you are closing a contract and opening a new one, even if it's the same vehicle. One reason being that we may need that vehicle back or to swap you out for another vehicle. Another reason is that when you prepay we get a voucher code only.
The local Avis would Not have your credit card information and thus you couldn't be billed for additional days or gas if it wasnt returned. While corporate may have your information, the local Avis would need your credit card info as well. If you were to renew your second contract, you would not have had to come in. Furthermore, it allows for us to examine the vehicle.
While I understand you wish to keep it, we must examine the vehicle even if it is closed out and re-rented. It does appear that this location does need additional customer service training in my opinion, but renting cars is an extremely busy task. Apparently yours was busier when you arrived. You have to remember that on certain days, we could have over 500 reservations going out.
Our Monday for example have 453 cars going out. Lines aren't something we like but are sometimes unavoidable. If you want to keep the same car, book the same car class. It saves us on a car.
Unless that car was on recall, 99 percent of the time you will get it back. I only write this because I want you to see it from the perspective a rental agent.
I know this won't change your opinion, but note that none of this was nefarious. Enjoy your day.
