4 days with 2023 Tesla Model Y in Portland

[BMT1071]

The Tesla was at 80% when we picked it up. Avis guarantees at least 70% at pickup.
Avis requires 70% at drop off
If you bring back at 10% to 69% it's a $35 fee, less than 10% is a $70 fee.

Their EV terms are available here: https://www.avis.ca/en/legal-documents/avis-preferred/preferred-global-us-canada

So, "guarantees" is a strong word. A couple weeks ago I ended up with a MB EQS 450 from Avis at IAH. The first one they assigned to me was at 8%. The second was at 55%, so I took it. I returned it at over 70% cause I didn't want to risk getting charged. My guess is that they don't even check when they come back in, but I didn't want to fall victim to Murphy's Law.

Perhaps it is, but that's what their T&Cs ️say:

3) BATTERY CHARGING LEVELS AT VEHICLE CHECK OUT: Avis will rent the EV with at least a 70% charge on the battery.

I wasn't disputing that. Just relaying my experience in Houston.
