seemed very expensive. My "upgrade" to a better car should have been complementary, or at least would have been at national or avis. I also was talked into using the full tank of gas, and hopefully I don't get charges for that.

The car was beautiful and we enjoyed it. I had never driven a hybrid before so it would have been nice if someone expected that most people haven’t. I felt pretty dumb having to come to the booth and ask someone how it worked. I also found out at the last minute that this agency did not want me to take the car outside of a specific area geographically. Perhaps that was in the information, but I certainly didn’t see it until we went to check out the car. Potentially a big problem and to find out on the day we picked it up was unhelpful.

The price point could be better. Brittany was thorough and efficient. She even got on the ground to take proper pictures of damage to be photographed cheerfully. We would come back just for her customer service.

I was pleased with everything except that they marked off the on me the same minute windshield ding that was noted in the previous damages list when I picked up the car, presumably because I had added insurance, so they can file another claim. Possibly just an error, but judging from the previous reviews it seems suspicious.

I found out I was driving a car which the tab was expired and because of that, they told me to change the car in the middle of my car rental. They told me I would need to pay extra because the car would be upgraded. After a long argument, I was able to keep the car with the expired tab. I also asked to add my husband for the additional driver but their response took so long that I had to drive by myself. I would not use this company ever again.

Needed to cancel 2 weeks prior to vacation and was allowed to within the company guidelines but was not able to due to the cancellation system in place. Felt like a scam.

Overall was lied to by the guy working the desk. When picking up the car I was told I had paid too much money when scheduling rental online. So in order to get the "value" for what I had paid they told me they would add on the insurance and toll pass. Only to find out I would be billed extra for that later. Then I was told as long as I had the car back before they close I would only be charged one day. I had the car 26 hours and returned the car an hour and a half before they closed. Then I was still billed for having the car 2 days.

Price was good for a last minute rental. Pickup was fast and good. Car was clean and comfortable.
I rented a car in Olympia, Wa. I drove home to Oregon (about 3.5 hours) and parked the car in the driveway. Two days later I planned to drive the car to an appointment (at 1pm) but noticed a huge oil spot under the car. I called roadside service. They advised me to drive the car to the nearest open Avis (1 hour away). I informed them that I would not be driving a vehicle with no oil that far. After deliberating back-and-forth for quite some time,, the representative finally agreed with me and said she would “schedule” a tow company to pick up the vehicle and send someone to my home with a replacement vehicle. I hadn’t heard from Avis and nobody showed up to pick the vehicle up by 10 o’clock that evening. So I called roadside assistance again to inquire on the ETA. The representative advised me that the roadside tow request had expired, but he would initiate another request. I received a call from the tow company at one in the morning. The dispatch let me know that they would be at my house within an hour and a half. (2:30 am). I let him know. It was way too late to come at that time. He agreed to come the next morning, which he did. I contacted Avis again the next morning and asked them to cancel my request for a vehicle exchange. The representative told me I would be responsible for all charges through the end of my contract, which was going to be four more days. I explained to him that I wanted to cancel the reservation as soon as the tow truck picked up the vehicle. I didn’t feel I was responsible for any additional charges. I made several calls to Avis within 24 hours. At no time was I ever assured that I would not have to pay additional fees for a vehicle. I didn’t have in my possession. In addition to that, I was also told that I may be responsible for the tow fees. I am still waiting on a final charge. This was my first and only experience with Avis. I will not be a returning customer.

When I turned my vehicle back in on the date/time scheduled, it was not registered correctly and I received a text three days later saying my rental car had not been turned in. It is now four days after my rental drop-off and I have yet to receive a receipt from Budget/Avis. The online receipt request form does not recognize my confirmation number. So frustrating.

Our flight was late getting in, and instead of someone staying, several of us were left stranded, and the one hotel near by was sold out. This was the worst experience. We had to pay for a 3 hr Uber since all hotels were sold out within all surrounding cities due to a Taylor Swift concert.

The car had a front end alignment issue that is noticeable at a higher rate of speed it was very concerning for me when driving on the express way.
Pickup staff was not friendly and did not offer any advice regarding the stair going to pickup the car.

Arrived at the rental car depot for SEATAC and joined nearly 200 people in line for Budget. The estimated wait to see an agent and pick up my reserved car (although I very much doubted there were enough cars for everyone in line) was over 2 hours. I had to cancel the rental agreement and accept higher prices from Alamo on the spot in order to maintain my itinerary. Terrible experience, and not the first bad one with Budget. Won't be selecting them again.

The man that I picked up the car from made multiple mistakes and then took a break in the middle of me paying the final payment for the car. He was nice enough initially, but then he literally left for at least twenty minutes without any real notice and I then saw him just chilling as he took his "break." When he finally returned and gave me the keys, he didn't tell me where to go and gave me no instructions as to what to do. The people at the actual car pick-up in the garage were really nice, but just as confused as me because this man had repeatedly messed up and sent me the wrong information in my digital ticket. Overall, because of this man's errors and the break he took, I didn't leave Budget rentals until at least 90 minutes when I first arrived there.

The car itself is efficient and drives well. The pickup was poor: had to wait 10 minutes for agent to come to the door to check me out. The car was dirty inside and out and a few items were in the car from a previous renter. It seems to be a one man show at the pickup location. Not good at all.
Quick and smooth. Value was great compared to other rental places. I got an SUV for the price of a standard car at other rental car companies. It's winter....who doesn't need an SUV with all wheel drive?

My experience was terrible. Despite making a reservation with Hertz in March, they didn't have the car I reserved and made no attempt to find me an alternative. They cancelled my reservation and did not give me a refund. I will not be renting with Hertz again.

Pickup was delayed by 1 1/2 hrs. even though we had a set time. Dropping off though was terrible. The Clayton, Missouri site was to close by Saturday/noon. We got there at 11 am only to find the place closed. Instructions on the door stated to drop off original receipts and key in the drop box. Problem - there were only three parking spaces available and they were all filled! The 1-800 number for assistance is a terrible phone tree without an option to leave a message. We ended up parking on the city street and hoping the car wouldn't be ticketed. We had to wait until Monday morning to confirm that they had found the car (we had left a note to its whereabouts). This is our second bad experience with Hertz. The people at the desks are just fine but the company policies are not customer friendly.

They gave our car away and didn’t have another one available for another 4 hours after our scheduled pickup time. Terrible experience given we had made the reservation 3 months in advance.
Car was ok, Malibu instead of a Corolla. Pick up was not good. Entire process was too long, then it took forever to get out of the rental car garage at Sea-Tac airport. From arriving at the rental car terminal until leaving with the car was an hour and a half process. Unacceptable. I reserved the car, Alamo had all the information it needed prior to my arrival. My time is valuable.
