AVIS Rental issues

[ColleenK423005]

I choose AVIS car rental because of the benefits that AARP offered.   It was a nightmare experience to say the least.  I picked up a car at the Philadelphia airport and drove to New York.  A relative of mine noticed that the vehicle inspection had expired making the vehicle illegal to drive. The only place to exchange it was 120 miles away to get the same type of vehicle (larger SUV).  So we had to drive illegally to exchange the vehicle and lost 2 days of driving as we had events going on locally and had to car pool with others.  We reported it to AVIS and basically was told that we were out of luck and that they would only look to re-imburse us for gas or lost time with vehicle if we had a Wizard number at the time of rental?  If AARP is going to partner with such companies they need to make sure they inspect there vehicles.
