I'm aware of the construction around LAX in general -- but is the Avis experience at LAX impacted enough that I should look to a different LAX rental company?
Having heard no horror stories, I went ahead with my booked reservation. It wasn't bad. When I arrived at 8 pm, there was no actual construction activity. The lot seemed well-stocked. As a Preferred Plus, I had booked an intermediate car and was assigned a Nissan Pathfinder. One downside: the lot was pretty dark where my car was parked -- I'm not sure I would have been able to see small dents or large scratches when I walked around the vehicle. Shuttles are never efficient at LAX; my shuttle experience was no worse than usual
