The location was convenient. I arrived in San Francisco at night and there weren’t many people. There were only 4 people ahead of me in line.

We arrived half an hour early, and the staff initially confused the timing, almost charging us an extra $60. However, they offered us an upgrade. The car was brand new, a 2024 Durango V8, which was incredibly enjoyable to drive and had plenty of storage space. The downside was its fuel consumption, which made refueling painful.

The store staff was very nice. Due to the language barrier, they noticed our hesitation while signing the documents and proactively used a translation app to explain the content to us, making us feel very reassured.

Avis at RDU makes everyone wait forever. This has been happening ever since I moved to the RTP area, i.e., since August. While I am an AVIS preferred customer, I find that I could not use my "Wizard" or AVIS preferred number for this booking and therefore have to wait in line - it has never been less than an hour waiting time. If they assign you the car quickly, you'll spend 30+ minutes waiting for the car to actually become available. Or you might just spend an hour standing in queue. My flight from New York was 1 hr 48 minutes long. I spent 1 hr waiting in line at Avis RDU. I have also rented from Hertz/Thrifty in the same RDU location. Their process was painless and swift. The staff at AVIS is trying their best but obviously something is not working. I think it's because the staff are so polite that customers like me return time after time despite the frustrating and lengthy pick up process.

I really like Qeeq. I found them through Kayak. Its a huge relief for me to have the collision damage included, even though I normally waive insurance because I have my own. The affordable prices don't hurt either. My one complaint is that I cannot use my loyalty number when booking though Qeeq, which can result in huge wait times and sub optimal experience at car counters. Rock on, Qeeq! Going forward, I would be open to buying the toll option and other add-ons via qeeq. I feel like you would get me the best offers.
