The vehicle was dirty inside and outside. I took pictures of everything. Car smelled like smoke and I told the lot attendant when I first got the vehicle. Also a bunch of scratches on the truck, passenger side running board was falling apart. But the worst thing was the smoke smell and I tried calling them but no response. Sent me to a call center.Reviewed 2024 Apr 02

Pros:NothingCons:I reserved by vehicle for 12pm noon and arrived at 12:05pm to find the location closed. Kayak didn't give me any notification that I would have to arrive earlier than noon if I expected to get a car. It caused a huge logistical headache for my trip and I won't be booking cars through Kayak again.Reviewed 2021 May 13

Top tips for renting a car from Avis in Milwaukee

  • Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is known for its varied climate, which spans from frigid winters to warm summers. It’s important to note the time of year in which you plan to visit when booking your Avis car rental in Milwaukee. During the winter months, which can be particularly harsh, a vehicle with all-wheel or four-wheel drive is preferable for navigating through snow-covered streets and icy conditions. Additionally, a vehicle with advanced heating systems and quality snow tires could further enhance your safety and comfort. In contrast, during the warmer months, a vehicle with good fuel economy would be the priority, especially for those planning to explore the city and its scenic surroundings.
  • Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a bustling city that, like others of its size and population, can be expected to experience periods of heavy traffic. During weekday mornings and evenings, especially around major commuting hours, you can expect congestion on highways like I-94, I-43, and I-894, as well as on major thoroughfares like W. Wisconsin Ave. and E. Wisconsin Ave. Downtown regions and popular attractions like the Milwaukee Art Museum or the Historic Third Ward can also become congested during peak hours and on weekends. It is a good idea to plan your itinerary around rush hour. However, traffic is sometimes unpredictable and unavoidable, so choosing a rental vehicle of the smallest size to meet your needs will ensure that you have decent maneuverability.
  • A compact Avid car rental in Milwaukee is the way to go when it comes to parking in the city. In the downtown and heavily populated areas, parking is often competitive and sometimes rather limited. Street parking is available, but it may require diligent searching and often involves short-term, metered parking. There are parking garages and lots scattered throughout the city center, such as the MAC Structure, that provide additional options, though it's important to note that they may be close-quartered and difficult to navigate in larger vehicles.
  • Visitors to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, looking to secure a rental vehicle through Avis will be pleased to learn that the agency offers a comprehensive range of roadside assistance services to ensure safe and convenient driving experiences for their customers. These include, but are not limited to, replacing flat tires, charging dead batteries, handling lockouts, and providing fuel for those times you don't quite make it to the gas station. If the vehicle experiences a mechanical failure, Avis provides towing services to the nearest repair facility and will offer a replacement vehicle.
  • Compact rental cars from Avis in Milwaukee are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average.
