The process was so quick and easy I was in and out in about 15mins. The gentleman that helped was very professional. I will be back to rent from this location again.
Didn't disclose $100 cancelation fee. Especially for a simple mistake. Don't worry it will never happen again. Will NEVER USE YOUR SERVICES AGAIN!!!

The car was 4,000 miles over due on an oil change. All tire pressure was low. The keys were underneath the seat at pick up as if someone just threw them in there. There was trash in the glove compartment leftover from the previous driver.

The counter has one employee so each contract takes 10 minutes. We stood in line for over an hour. The employee was efficient, but should have had help. There were 4 cars to choose from and we took a semi cleaned one because it's a car I'm considering purchasing in the future and want to see how it drives. The car is mechanically questionable and Hertz needs to stay on top of their fleet servicing. It caused unnecessary anxiety on the trip and even thought I should turn it in early. The car and the long wait left me never wanting to rent from Hertz again. The really bright spot is the airport shuttle driver, he is personable, engaging, kind, high spirits and enjoyed that part of the experience.

Booked my rental through Kayak and clearly labeled that I wanted pick up to be at the airport. Through the point of booking, it even asked for my flight information so I though I was good. When I got to the Hertz at the airport though, they said my car was at a different Hertz on the other side of town. So I had to Uber to that Hertz to get my car. Then had to drop off the car at that Hertz and Uber to the airport.

I got to the pickup location only to be greeted by an extremely rude employee. I was rudely told we don’t have a car for you even if you have a reservation. Very poor experience to say the very least.

Horrible experience at this location. I realize that this is not representative of Budget as a whole but this location was terrible. I would never go there again and I would highly recommend that everyone else stay away as well.

My car reservation was unfulfilled by Budget despite receiving multiple notifications my car was reserved. I went to pick up my car and they didn’t have a car for me or help me find another car in the area. However, I was able to use a different car rental service and Budget awarded me a 3 day voucher for a free rental . All the Budget staff were friendly and professional.
My problem was booking through kayak. It was not clear rental location was not at airport. I went to airport location and waited in line to find out I was at wrong location. We waited an hour only to find out the location I needed had already closed for the night. Lady was very helpful at Avis. Archaic computer crashed 3 times and my dot matrix paper printout had to be hand initialed. Wow Avis is it 1989? No thanks kayak.

It is a sad state of affairs that I EXPECT that going to the RDU Avis location means that I will have to endure people who are angry, disinterested in making my day better or at least how well, and people who BRAG about being mean to customers because they can get away with it. On several occasions, the tone has been one of apathy, anger, job hatred, people hatred, and overall angst and woe, and I’m SICK and TIRED of no one forcing the people who are hired that location to suck it up and be kind or find another source of income. They argue, yell at, or demean and belittle customers REGULARLY, and this is the THIRD time in a row that the most extreme curse words have been used by either a customer or an agent there because of an argument. That’s insane, but they are never friendly. THE ONLY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS PEOPLE ARE THE SHUTTLE DRIVERS, and that’s sad. They are the saving Grace for this location, but they deserve better continuity of kindness once their role is done. Just yesterday when I dropped off the vehicle, the cold agent who approached me said very aggressively, “LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE CAR” I asked, “Do you have to start with that and not a ‘Good Morning’ or a ‘Hello’?” He replied “I’m not the kind of person to be saying no hello” I have asked these people where they think the money comes from in a CUSTOMER SERVICE business. They actually said, “Oh they’ll find a way to pay us either way”. Does it need to made any more obvious that the RDU Avis location’s workers need retraining or need to be replaced with people who actually don’t hate the job? I’m fed up and wish that there were more convenient options that fit my company discount. The Crabtree location is too inconvenient to drop off when my trip is over, and catching a ride in a ride share to and from defeats the purpose.

Rude staff at Raleigh airport AVIS/ Busget. Gave me a crappy car even though I insisted I have a toddler and plan to drive over 12 hours to Canada. USD $315 was charged but they didn’t even bother checking my air pressure.

Pickup took way too long. They needed more people, but I guess that's an issue everywhere now. The building was too hot since it was packed with people waiting. The car we got had an issue. It was impossible to get anyone on the phone. I tried the local number, no answer. I tried corporate number, can't get passed the automated system. We wound up driving back. The exchange went very smoothly and the man who helped us (wish I got his name) was very nice. It sure would be nice if there was a hard copy of the manual. Those of us that haven't had a new car in many years don't always know what words to use to 'search' for info on the screen. The return went very quick and smoothly.

1.) The vehicle was very dirty. It had not been cleaned, vacuumed or anything. There were cigarette ashes all over and a cigarette butt on the driver's floor mat. Soda was spilled in the rear cargo area, etc. etc. 2.) There was only 1 employee working at the time of pick-up, so he could not inspect the vehicle with us. I had to take pictures and finally went back inside and insisted that he come outside, which he did. (I do not remember his name, but he was very good. In fact, he was the only good experience we had with this rental.) 3.) Florida license plates expired in June (06/22), I suffer from severe anxiety and had to drive an illegal vehicle on what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation. 4.) Vehicle needs front and rear brake pads and rotors. It nearly vibrated us out of the van when applying the brakes going down the mountain. I was actually afraid it was not going to stop a couple of times. 5.) This was my first rental with Avis and it was not a good one. 6.) I called Customer Service about the dirtiness and the expired tags, before I knew the brakes were shot. The customer Service representative agreed to refund me $100 from the Total. This refund has not yet hit my credit card account. 7.) In summary, I paid $404 to rent a dirty minivan with bad brakes that was illegal to drive on NC roads with expired tags. I fulfilled my contractual obligations, but Avis did not.

nothing The Avis rep from the location I reserved a car at 3 weeks prior called me at 6:05 pm the night before I was to pick up my car to tell em the location "had no cars". She said I would have to modify my reservation to pick up at another location. I tried the number she gave me and when i selected Modify Reservation from the menu I got an error message and then the call disconnected. I did this 3 times and then tried to call the original rep back and got no answer. Extremely frustrated, I called the customer service number back and chose make a reservation in hopes to speak to a human being. The agent and supervisor i spoke to connected me to a customer service rep named Juan in California who modified my reservation but couldn't 100% confirm a car was available because the location was already closed for the night. This meant I would be flying in to Raleigh North Carolina needing a car to complete the last 2 hours of my trip to another town without even knowing that I had a car available. I wound up canceling my reservation and my girlfriend had to take a day off work and change her schedule around so that she could come and pick me up and know that I was not stuck at the airport 2 hours away. Avis has incredibly poor customer service. It is unbelievable that a reservation can be made for a car and every single attempt to make sure that a car is available for a person is not made. Wiith multiple locations in a city, that agency should have done whatever it took to get a car to the location my reservation was scheduled. This experience was just awful.
