On Saturday evening, Dov Bergwerk arrived at the Avis branch on West 76th Street and Broadway. Accompanied by his wife Ruth, the Bergwerks were planning to join friends for dinner in Westchester. Mr. Bergwerk, a senior vice president and general corporate counsel at the Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva, got out his driver's license, reservation number and "Wizard" loyalty card - he's rented from Avis dozens of times before - and anticipated the usual smooth transition into a nondescript mid-sized sedan.
That's when the trouble started.

The problem is not Avis but the people working in the office. Avis needs to clean out that office and train new staff
Mental note to self: Never rent from Avis again.
Sounds like planned infiltration.
Sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

Their FB response
On Friday, a customer seeking to rent a car from Avis Car Rental was not allowed to do so because he failed to provide the required documentation. Visitors to the U.S. From other countries must provide both a valid drivers license from their country of residence as well as a valid International Drivers License or passport in order to rent from Avis. We are aggressively investigating the customer’s allegations regarding the handling of this matter, as we do not tolerate any form of discrimination. So far, our ongoing investigation suggests that this customer is unfairly maligning us with unfounded accusations.
I usually say “I can’t boycott businesses I don’t patronize” but it applies in this case. It is the height of stupidity to turn away good business. The car rental business is cutthroat - I can easily find an alternative to avis.
There’s no way those two were following company policy. This was a case of a couple of local employees at that particular office who had an agenda of their own. Unfortunately, this will reflect badly on the entire company. The rental agent and her supervisor should be fired, but they won’t be. After all, as we all know, that would be racism.
Here is what she is doing in her spare time:

When you hire people based primarily on the color of their skin, you get the attitude that goes along with it.
I won’t be renting from Avis again.
Several of the Avis offices I’ve been to were ran by muslims.
I await a rental car agency, or any business that requires valid ID, to deny service to ID holders that are not outwardlh identifying in public as the sex indicated on the ID. Holy hell will break out everywhere and it will force a push to allow sex to be changed on original documents.

I’d boycott Avis.... but I quit doing business with them years ago.
Avis is the armpit of the rental car industry.
Incredibly, I never did once rent from Avis. Usually it was Budget or Hertz as Hertz usually accepts a debit card if you didn;t have a credit card, but Im not sure what their policy is now.
How about compiling a list of public-serving businesses that employ Muslims â and conducting boycotts.
Sent an email to Avis, posted on their Facebook. Will be sending this article to all my associates, family and friends. This is outrageous. Thanks for the heads-up. P.S. I’m Catholic.
Doubling down on dumb.
