Dear Friends and Family--
If you are looking to rent a car, and if there is any remote possibility that you may come in contact with an animal during the time the rental car is in your possession, DO NOT rent your car through Avis. Or if you do, invest in a high-quality lint roller and get used to using it regularly. Because apparently, if you are around pets and some of the pet hair happens to get on your clothes and subsequently into the vehicle, they will slap you with a $250 cleaning fee. I'm not even kidding.
The best part is that their rental agreement doesn't even specifically forbid pets in their vehicles (which--for the record--we never had a pet in the vehicle); it just states that if there is excessive stains, dirt, or soilage that you will be subject to a cleaning fee. So apparently whatever small amount of pet hair was tracked into the vehicle via our clothes was enough to be excessive and warrant the cleaning fee.
Needless to say, we won't be renting a car through Avis again, and I strongly suggest you follow suit, especially if you'll be around animals of any sort while you have the rental.
Love,
Jess
