Worst experience ever. Called in the am to tell me they did not have a car but would have one later that day. I called two hours to verify they would have a car before close. They told me they were waiting on the truck to arrive with the SUV’s and were given permission to stay after close until all customers received their rental. Needless to say it’s been a week after my reservation and never received my rental. The company did not make any type of follow up call about my rental. I was forced to find another vehicle during my kids spring break. This reservation was made a month in advance AND they called me a couple days prior of the reservation to confirm. I will never rent from Budget again.

This was a very pleasant experience from start to finish. We received a smaller pickup than originally requested but the truck was in great condition and performed flawlessly from Tennessee to Massachusetts. Please be aware that you will need to bring your own toll transponder with you when traveling. We thought of it and promptly forgot it!! There are transponders in the rental cars so you will be charged for the tolls but there will be a small fee. The staff was awesome to deal with at the beginning and end of the rental. We would highly recommend Enterprise for vehicle rentals.

Originally they called me at my time of reservation to tell me they didn’t have a car available after making my reservation 3 weeks in advance and didn’t have an solution for me. Something did become available the next morning and they did try to make it better. It was only one person working so it took a while and delayed me getting on the road. The car I ended up with was nice and clean.

Arrange reservation the night before pick-up. vehicle selection was an estimated 30 different vehicle to choose from. Made selection received confirmation along with all conditions listed Estimated costs confirmed. Pick-up date confirmed and agreement time for payment listed. The day of pick-up a voice mail at approximately 9:00 am was left on my cell phone that Enterprise pick-up; location stated that there were no vehicles available for rental and none at any other location.
The layout of parking spots was not easy to find the vehicle. The info sent to me had a 4 digit parking spot id# but they were marked using 3 digits so I wasn’t sure if I was searching correctly. The front passenger window on the van we rented would did not roll up or down so was unable to open it on our trip. We dropped of the van at 11:00am on Sunday and as of 2:00am on Monday still have not received the email with the receipt even though my credit card already shows an additional charge for which I have no way of knowing what it was for.

They had no cars to rent on my date of pickup. I was told to come back in 3 days. My rental contract was for 4 weeks (28 days) but since i could not rent the first 3 days i was charged now for the last 4 days. I was told at rental that i could extend my rental. I was renting because my car was being repaired. So 2 days before the contract was to end i called the local store who told me they did not have the authority to extend and that i must call Hertz 800 number. I spoke to someone i in the Philippines who told me they couldn't extend but the local could. Ultimately i purchased another contract for the same car. When i returned to the local to change contracts i was told the car i had been driving was already sold and i must change cars. There was another customer at that location who made a reservation months ago and told there were no cars for her to rent. Herz oversells continually.

Why would hertz say they would rent me a car and call me after the rental was reserved and tell me they didn’t have a car to rent me. They probably rented my reserved car to someone else for more money.

Took the vehicle to the Asheville, Hertz rental car return location at 9 AM. When the store opened no one was there I waited two hours and then had to leave had to pay a shuttle driver to return the keys later that day. In addition, the invoice I received included five days rental cost for one day rental. In addition, I spent two hours hours on the phone trying to contact someone at Hertz for information total run around Totally unacceptable I look forward to hearing from Hertz to resolve these issues and concerns. My rental contract number is 182634104
No cars available so had to wait approximately 4 hours for a car for the second time in 2 weeks. Will never use dollar again.

After a 1 hour drive to the airport for a one way car rental due to full flight I was told they had no car and wouldn't be getting any. There was a waiting list with over 20 people that had reservations for cars that weren't available upon arrival. The worse experience I've had in over 35 years in the airline business dealing with a rental. After calling Dollar the refused ti believe there was a car issue at that location.

The counter agent actively lied tome, changed my reservation, and ended up doubling my cost. I have reached out to Dollar repeatedly and every single cist service rep I have spoken to has told me I have to speak with someone else. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY
We rented a car. The guy gave us a car with bald tires and 65,000 miles on it. When we said we weren’t taking that because it was unsafe he said well all I have are vans that haven’t been cleaned, but said pick one out. My husband picked one and then the guy started rudely asking why he wanted that one?? Then another couple had just reserved a car online and came right over and he didn’t have a car for them, but told them they could take the one he was going to give us and that guy said he was not taking the one with bald tires either. Unbelievable!!

I made reservations for a compact car. When I get there to pick it up it was not returned yet. He offered me a suburban as a “free upgrade”. I’m driving 6 hours, so that actually not free. I’ll pay more than I had planned in gas. I decided to wait the 45 minutes for the car to be returned. I go back to Avis ready for my compact car, but now there an error that the car can’t be routed in the direction in going. I ended up with a small SUV. I still spent more gas than I wanted, but I had to take it because there were no other options. The guy who help me was nice.

It was a one way drop from Louisville to Chattanooga due to Delta canceling my flight. The rental process was easy and although I booked standard-I got a Jeep.
Customer service was excellent. Car had almost 60k miles on it and needed new wipers and the USB port to get Apple CarPlay to work for navigation was loose and I often could not get it to make a solid connection.
