The agent that helped me at the check in was delightful. So friendly and assisted me with an issue I had encountered securing a rental car from other agencies. She was dedicated to making my experience seamless and successful.

My CAA membership was not accepted to add an extra driver at no cost. It is supposed to be a benefit of membership. It has been four days now and there has been no contact from Hertz with my final bill. They owe me a deposit refund.

I liked that they accommodated by request to pick up the care earlier than originally booked. Albeit for the price of renting it for one more day. I did not like that * the car I got warned that an oil change was required right from the pick up and all through our holidays. Turns out the regular car inspections had already been delayed by nearly 10,000 km (needed at 30K, we got the car at 38K). * when calling them, it always took several attempts to get through, the connection was always spotty * upon pick up, a sequence of "just 5 minutes", "just another 20 minutes" resulted in waiting nearly an hour for the car to be ready

Absolutely horrible customer service. They did not honour our reservation or give us a car. We were kicked out of the rental agency even though we got charged the full cost of the rental. Never renting with Hertz ever again.

Did not have the full-sized Premium car I had ordered, and tried to convince me repeatedly that a Malibu was the same size and class as a Charger and would not offer me a discount when requested. Also took almost an hour to process - seemed quite disorganized and disconnected to customer service.

I got problem when picking the car. it rumbles seems chassis issue from bottom. I immediately went back and talk to avis representative. he checked and drove for 2min and back confirmed issue, he immediately replaced a new honda odyssey van for me. the honda odyssey was super clean, quiet, new(1K+ miles). though I wasted some time due to this incident because I was in a hurry to drive to airport, I am very happy with the customer service, he made me feels very comfortable and in warm hand.
All worked well, easy pickup/dropoff. Courtesy car dropoff for the next leg of our journey was really appreciated.

Car was clean… but there were scratches,scrapes and dints that were not recorded when picking the car up! Nobody was there to record the damage to the car upon pickup or drop off, waiting to get scammed off car damage

the only thing you need is better signage at nanaimo airport, I saw where to park the car but could not see where to drop keys off. I was not aware there was a counter inside the airport.

Our experience was not good. We didn't get the vehicle that we reserved (which was reserved for a specific requirement). A customer checked in beside us with no reservation but was given the type of vehicle that we reserved (an SUV) and we were given a car after waiting an extra 20 minutes. The windshield was dangerously filthy with the sunshine glare! Our first stop had to be a service station to clean the inside of the windshield. I would not recommend Budget to anyone
The car rental place I picked my car up from took 20 minutes to see me, 15 minutes to process and it took 25 minutes for my car to o be ready. Total time to get my car was 1 hour. Nice staff but extremely inefficient. Why not have the card ready when clients come in.

I was very upset with the rental agency. My husband went to go pick-up the car. First it was the wrong place. So they sent a car to pick him up and take him to the right place. Then upon arrival at the other location, they tell my husband that they need to first have him get in touch with ICBC to show his driving records before they can rent him the car? I have NEVER come across this once in all the car rentals I’ve had over the years. So after he proves to them that he’s a good driver, then they take a $1,000 deposit? We only had the vehicle for 5 days? Usually at other rental agencies the deposit has been no more than around $300-$500 max. So I think there was some issues there as well. We finally got the car. In all fairness the car itself was great. We got a Toyota Corolla. Very clean and it was great on the trip. Very comfortable and great on gas. The one thing I’ll say is this, they tried to make things better, but when you have a child and you’re ready to go and all you want is to get the car and get going, to have a delay for over an hour is not good. Things aren’t being done on the scale of a larger car rental agency and it’s very obvious. They need to be more organized and the fact that they don’t mention the ICBC check on their website makes me think they don’t want the customer to know about it, since it would result in going elsewhere On a scale of 1-10, the car itself was a 10 the experience was a 2 . I will take my business elsewhere next time.

The location is very convenient and I appreciated being able to leave the car in their parking lot to pick up after our dinner and show; it saved me the hassle of having to find a parking spot and paying for it. We were also given an upgrade from compact to an SUV. I’m indifferent about this upgrade as I purposely chose a compact size so it would be easier to park. However, I recognize that we were give a hybrid SUV with many features and the car was nice to drive. I’m sure drivers with better parking skills would appreciate this upgrade if they were given the option.
