About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Avis rental car counter one night, an employee noticed something peculiar. As he processed a routine return, the GPS on the dashboard began guiding customers towards the exact spot where they parked their cars—even when they were already standing right next to them. Curious, the worker tried it himself—a red sports car appeared on the screen, pointing directly at him. The whole place burst out laughing as he sheepishly walked towards his own vehicle. From then on, whenever anyone returned a car at Avis, employees would joke, ‘Did you park in your usual spot today?’

2. At Avis rental car desk one day, a delivery driver approached with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I just dropped off my truck,’ he said, ‘but when I checked the GPS, it’s still here!’ The clerk smiled and shook her head. ‘That happens sometimes,’ she said calmly. The driver looked around nervously, then whispered, ‘But what if it drives itself?’ Everyone laughed, including the suspicious-looking neighbor who’d been watching from across the street.

3. At Avis rental car lot late one night, a security guard heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Anyone seen my flying car? I left it here earlier.’ The guard shrugged and replied into the intercom: 'Nope, no flying cars around here.' Suddenly, from behind him came a whirring sound. Turning around, he saw an old delivery driver waving his keys in the air. ‘Oh, that’s mine!’ laughed the driver. ‘I just parked it wrong again.’

4. At Avis rental car counter, a manager found an envelope filled with colorful stickers and notes left anonymously. It read: ‘Happy renting! Choose wisely.’ The next day, another envelope appeared—this time with stickers of kittens and puppies. The note said, ‘Choose wisely, but don’t forget to smile!’ Soon, every morning at Avis became a surprise: different themes, funny messages, and even little gifts for returning customers.
