where to pick up of a car at the Omaha Nebraska airport. From the very beginning, a very rude woman came up to her Uber driver and yelled at him very loudly for him, dropping us off there. He had to drop us off there because we were not getting off of a flight you're coming from somewhere else. She did not have to do that. I think it took us about 60 to 90 seconds to get out from the car and he left. Ever since then the lady at the counter was rude, snippy, bitchy all of them there, Palos, and Avis. They SUCK!! DO NOT RENT FROM AVIS/PAYLESS!! ** we got a dodge charger which I thought was really fun but the whole car was so smoky like smoky smoky. We didn't wanna go back to the rude person at the counter so we just sucked it up.

Appreciated small SUV style Ford EcoSport for travelling, had just enough space for all our luggage. Didn't have great gas mileage but very good otherwise (comfort, driveability, storage space, flexibility of putting back seats down for luggage, etc.)
Nobody was at the counter or parking lot when I arrived. I had to call Budgetbcorporate, they couldn’t do anything and said come back tomorrow, so I cancelled

Hard when flights are delayed there is no signage that all customers should go to the parking lot kiosk.
When I arrived in Omaha, I had to hunt for the relocated rental car counter. The agent was a very surly 30-something who mumbled directions for finding the car. There was no one at check out from the lot to check for damage, etc. The next morning at the airport hotel, I took pics to document the numerous dings, chips and scratches on the Nissan Rogue. There was either no cruise control or it was not working which was inconvenient since the bulk of my travel was on the mostly lightly travelled interstate. Luckily, my trip was incident free. When I returned, the agent was a very pleasant young woman who assured me that I didn't need to worry about the chips and scratches.

They don't make it obvious that there rentals are only allowed in the state you are renting them from and the surrounding states. They will tell you it's in the fine print.
