Mostly good. When I rented the car on line, paid all but taxes and fees, 62. At checkin, taxes and fees were 122. That’s not fair…. Great car..

I showed up to pick up the car rental. I waited 45 minutes and called yet no one showed up or answered. I was forced to not only miss my appointment that I flew in for but I had to pay more money to rent a car through Avis. Needless to say hertz has lost my business. Hertz is the only company I use to use and now they are the only company I will not use. Please advise? Sincerely one pissed off customer, Aaron Kent

They had no cars and left me stranded! Had to pay an extra $100 at Avis at the airport
I booked thru Kayak. That was my mistake. Despite the confirmation email and the app saying my pick up location was CLE airport location. Kayak scheduled it for Beechwood location and I had to pay $717 instead of $333 as promised in the app. I’ll never book thru Kayak again.

I was so impressed with Budget! They overbooked our reserved vehicle, but made it right and then some! They gave us two Chrysler Pacifica Van's in place of the one big passenger van, and even provided gas for the inconvenience. The van's were clean and drove like a dream. I have never experienced such great customer service, and will be a return customer! Thank you for going above and beyond in making the overbooking right. I am so grateful and impressed with the customer service of this company!
Convenient Picking up, paying for full gas tank , not having to worry about and returning at the airport that worked out well too!

I rented a premium car (Passat, Altima, etc) and got the counter to hear "sorry they never brought us your car". They tried to pawn some Kia's, etc but ended up giving me a RAM truck. Truck was nice & clean but after 2 miles down the road on freeway the check engine light came on and cutoff while going 55 on freeway. I started it back up and soon cutoff again once over 50MPH. Please mind you this is a 2-ton truck with very little control when engine dies (power brakes/steering). I called the local rental co and the suggested I take it to airport since I was so close and could take side roads under 50MPH. Airport Avis was very rude and said the company I rented from was a "franchise" and we are "corporate" and that I needed to drive it back to them for the exchange. I spoke to a manager and made it clear the engine died twice on I270 over 50MPH but they could care less. I took back roads back to the local Avis but they didn't have a clean ready car. They were kind and setup a Ford Edge for me to go back to airport to exchange. Car wasn't cleaned but she knew I needed a car to get back to the wide assortment of option at Avis Columbus Airport. Finally got my "premium" Chevy Malibu at Avis airport and went on my way. 2 days later I get an alert via phone of a $106 charge for the 1-day rental of the dirty Ford Edge. I called Avis and spent 2 hours telling them the story. They finally refunded me after I threated to call my CC company and dispute. I've rented 100's of cars in my life and never had such a poor experience such as this.

I have been a loyal customer at this location and have rented vehicles for years here. However this is the last time I will rent from this location. The agent/manager/whatever was rude, condescending, and obnixous. He made it more than obvious he treats "certain" customers much better than others. I witnessed it first hand when I came to rent the vehicle. Then when I returned the vehicle he was literally fawning over the gentlemen in front of me and DID NOT treat me the same AT ALL when I was renting the car. Also the location was absolutely filthy. I will not return.
I hate these ridiculous hidden fees that companies like this continue to charge: Price Breakdown Already paid Car hire charge $444.99 Subtotal $444.99 To pay at pick-up AP CONC FEE RECOV $49.72 COUNTY SALES TAX $12.98 CUST FACILITY CHG $48.00 OPERATION AND MAINT FEE $1.76 STATE SALES TAX $33.16 TRANS FACILITY FEE $29.68 VEH LIC FEE $2.56 Subtotal $177.86

I left a pair of sunglasses in the rental and after realizing it 15 minutes after drop off and returning to the Hertz drop off to retrieve my sunglasses, customer service was extremely terrible and that I had to wait 30 minutes only to be told that they could not retrieve my sunglasses as they were unable to locate them. Knowing with 100% certainty that they were in fact in the vehicle and given how the events unfolded after the fact, I will never book with hertz or dollar again. I am a frequent traveler, and I will not support these companies. I feel so bothered by this incident that I actually took the time to fill this out when generally, I never write anything as I’ve always had pleasant experiences with other rental agencies. This speaks volumes to me.
While Payless advertise a 100% smoke-free fleet rental car had definitely been smoked in. I tried to clear the air every time I got in it losing a can of febreze but could never overcome the smoking stench. Additionally, the car had numerous dings and the transmission made noise whenever it was in gear. The car definitely had mechanical, cosmetic, and smoking odor problems.

Your pickup was not at the airport. I had to pay $50 to Uber 25 miles to pickup the car and was not able to drop the car off at the airport which meant I had to drop my people off at the airport and then drive 25 miles back to the Avis location to return the car. Then I had to have a friend take me to the airport.

The car was dirty and smelled like feet. There were also plenty of marks/scratches on the vehicle.
Customer services was top notch. Andrea from National was great - very friendly and gave her business card in the event anything went wrong. Pick up and drop off were both easy and enjoyable.

National was just fine in terms of all the pick up/drop off functions, I'd use them again. But currently the price for a car is way out of proportion. It could have been due to the July 4th weekend, but I'll start looking for alternatives when I can!
The counter agent was friendly, quick and a pleasure dealing with. The car choices were good and I didn’t feel like I got the “bait and switch” treatment I have received from others before.

Very unrealistic policies with respect to the use of credit cards. I got a new credit card which I had forgotten to call and activate the card. While at the Alamo counter in Columbus, the card after swipe did not go through. The bank immediately sent me a text and requested I call to activate the card. I showed the text to the Alamo staff and said I was calling to activate the card and will let her swipe the card once more. She bluntly refused, and I could not have the car. A complete mess of my entire plan. While we can understand the emphasis on the use of credit cards for car rentals, however, the company should be pragmatic to serve its clients better. Thank you
