I was somewhat of a difficult time by the counterperson in Mobile for looking to pickup my car an hour prior to my stated reservation time, which I've never experienced in all my decades renting cars for business and personal travel. Outside of this, the pickup and return process were good and positive.

The first car we got was infested with ants. We had to return it for another one. That car wasn’t the cleanest, but at least it wasn’t infested with ants. The girl at the check in desk was super nice and accommodating. I just wish budget would clean the inside of their cars between customers.

I reserved a vehicle with the intention to tow a camper the next day. I then called the company to make absolutely certain the vehicle had a tow hitch as other companies I have rented from always did. They informed they did not permit towing with their vehicles. I then cancelled the reservation (all within 30 minutes). They charged me a $50 fee for cancelling within 24 hours of the rental, but they, of course, ignored the fact I did so within 30 minutes of making the rental reservation online to begin with. The rental location was closed as I did this late at night, so they had taken no action whatsoever to prepare for my rental. Long story short, I will NEVER do business with this company. Too many others to choose from. Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me. I don't give second chances to do me dirty.

I called ahead of time to confirm my reservation and was told my SUV would be ready at my scheduled reservation time. When I arrived the car hadn’t been cleaned at all. I received a different car with a half empty gas tank. I was charged for an SUV rental even though I was not given an suv. Staff at the Birmingham Avis location was disorganized and less than friendly. My final bill was $120 more than the price I agreed to at reservation time. The Dulles Avis location was very professional and took care of the issue for me. It still made the drop off process long and inconvenient. I will never rent from the Birmingham Avis again. Don’t let the low prices fool you. There are much better options!

Allowed me to confirm a one-way rental online, then when I arrived at the kiosk and showed the clerk my reservation, I was told there was no car available. Too bad, so sad. Bye bye.

I liked the gas mileage of the car.

Agent at counter advised they did not have the full-size car I ordered, she had no idea of the different insurance coverages offered and what each one covered, told me to return the car with a gas receipt to prove I bought the gas that would be in the car, had to walk at least 1/4 mile to reach the car I rented, the rented car was dirty and had a service light on along with a low tire pressure light, I was advised there “may or may not” be someone there to receive my car upon return so I was to fill out the mileage, gas, condition report at drop off. I could go on but why bother, no more AVIS for me - very unprofessional.

Very poor experience with Hertz, first I wasn’t able to use one of my major credit cards and thenI was forced to use a debit card, and they sneaked in a 500 hold charge. Overall it wasn’t a great experience with hertz and will definitely not be coming back, I would been more open to everything if they were more up front with their charges.

The customer service lady was very nice, professional with a beautiful personality that made me appreciate doing business with Hertz. I was at the wrong pick up location and she took care of getting me a car where I was. She was great. I wish I got her name.

Like??? Nothing!!! They didn't have the van I ordered. Were absolutely no help in trying to resolve the issue. Gave me an 800 number to talk to a robo-machine! Ordered this van a month ahead of time and they had absolutely nothing to say but they "didn't have the vehicle". I will never ore another rental vehicle through Hertz.
