Good vehicle, clean, easy pick-up and drop-off. Wish I had known how to disable the toll receiver, because budget charges a lot of money for that. However, charges on the credit card are fishy. I pre-paid rent and insurance, but got a vague "non-pkg items" charge of 80$. After complaining, I got explanation that that is for fuel, while I had asked for full-to-full policy. They then refunded the charge, but on the same day made the same charge again, now from another budget office. Still don't have my money back, get all kinds of mails for more details on the credit card transactions, but no fix.

I really like that one of the Budget employees at the desk assisted me to find another vehicle when the car I was originally assigned had a problem.

Seemingly everything that could’ve gone wrong happened too. I was given a completely different car that was awful on gas, told the car was full with gas but it was at 3/4 tank (of a 24 gallon tank). The car wreaked of air freshener, no washer fluid so couldn’t see through the windshield the whole drive. Got blackmailed about a cleaning fee when dropping off. The person checked out the car in the first place was the only positive experience. Will not be renting from Budget again.

The car smelled like weed whenever it was humid or had been sitting overnight. The carpet was sticking out and had clearly been pulled up on the passenger side and there were stains on the seat. Other than that the car was fine and the staff were very friendly

However I reserved a truck and the did not have a truck available.
Desk agent attempted to up-sell every markup possible. Did not even present the options of not purchasing insurance, attempted to add a driver (my wife) without my consent, pushed excessive toll package despite knowing route had minimal tolls, and even said “what if something bad happens to you” when I continuously declined these frivolous packages.

The agent left work early so I was unable to pickup my car when my flight arrived, even though I entered my flight info in Kayak's database. I had to rent a car from another provider.
Everything about this rental experience was great. Easy pickup, clean car, easy drop off, and friendly employees at every step.

Enterprise is one of the best. Someone still walks you to your car, checks for damage before you leave and makes sure you are good. Someone still greets you when you drop off your car. Other rental agencies just hand you keys at the counter and good luck…
Long lines for pickup due to single Hertz counter that was also serving Dollar customers with onky one agent at counter. Car not cleaned and filthy. No checking process; I still have not received a final bill. Never again using Dollar/Hertz.

I incurred 6.18 in tolls and now they tell me that there are admin fees, which were mentioned in the rental agreement, Now I am billed for over 100 dollars in admin fee. As courtesy to the renter, this should of been made more clear. This is unfair business and have rented so many times and NEVER have there been any problem with tolls. I completed dispute the admin fees. Buyer beware

I had a terrible experience with Avis. In the past, I’ve had positive experiences, but I can’t say the same this time. When I went to pick up my vehicle, which was a 12 passenger van, I was told that there was no phone number on file to confirm so they did not schedule a van to arrive. I pulled up my confirmation info and could see my email and a valid phone number. The associate insisted that there was none on file. I was very confused since I had even received an email the day before telling me to “enjoy my ride!” There were no other passenger vans available so they were unable to accommodate us that day. This was a trip that had been planned for a long time and I was upset that Avis could not come through. I am very disappointed and will not book through Avis again.

The gas tank was only 3/4 full upon pick-up... However, the rule is to return it with a full tank, so that's about a $15 'surcharge'.
