Pickup employee was efficient and friendly. Dropoff employee was impatient and disappeared before telling us receipt would be emailed... we had to ask another renter. It would have only taken a few seconds to communicate this, as well as "thank you". There are many other choices.

Reservations vastly underestimate actual charges. Vehicle was dirty inside and out, so i switched to another vehicle that was dirty outside and smelly inside. Charges added for late return of vehicle, due only to the Avis desk being closed during return time. Google maps indicated this one-hour closed period (12pm-1pm for lunch), although Avis still accepts return times during this hour. After waiting 45 minutes for the clerk's arrival, the vehicle will be late, and an extra day's rental rate is charged. Avis, a "budget" car rental company, charges as much as blue-chip rental companies through hidden charges and fees, misinforming customers and scamming for late returns. Car rental companies with better vehicles, service and prices APPEAR more expensive while browsing for rates, but Avis, with an inferior product, will squeeze even more money out of the customer in dishonest ways.

I had to wait over an hour for the only person working the rental desk at the hotel to show up. I kept calling and he said 10 more minutes and I will be there.

I thought my reservation at budget was for a car but when I got there the only thing they had to offer me was a pick up truck at the price quoted. To get a car would have cost an additional $100. The classic bait and switch. Therefore, I just went to Thrifty and got a Camry for $150 less than what I would've paid for the pick up truck. The customer service at Thrifty Rent-A-Car was welcoming, efficient and all-around great! I'll never use budget again.

Crappy bait and switch car. Wanted a car with trunk like Camry, got a ford edge suv with no trunk and no cover for storage area. Shitty mpg and because flight delays they change price.

The first car (a very nice Lexus) we were given had an expired registration, which is dangerous and could have potentially led to us being charged with a crime if we were pulled over in the state that we rented the car in. We then were asked to switch the car out and that it would need to be towed and we might be charged for the tow, which is ridiculous. However, the tow truck never showed, so we drove to the rental facility ourselves. We were told by a manager there that they had a better car for us, but after completing paperwork, that manager went off shift and suddenly no cars were available except for an unclean Toyota Prius that was not in great condition. We were annoyed at all the extra work we had to do just to get the rental we had originally booked.
Easy pickup and the service desk guy was friendly and informative about the area where we were going. They were able to get the car early as our airline had changed our arrival time at the last minute.
We came an hour early from our pickup time and had to wait a 15 minutes or so to get the minivan as it was upstairs. The driver was not the friendliest.
It was the best car rental experience I've ever had. Everything went smoothly and the car was terrific.

I actually got really messed up because I kept putting in tbt airport code ‘PWM’ that works everywhere but on your site, so when I had to type in Portland manually, Portland, Oregon came up and my car was booked for Portland Oregon instead of Maine. So I would like to suggest that people have the additional ability to search via airport codes. The guy at the counter said it happens A LOT. Such a bummer since Portland Maine was the first Portland in America. And Portland Oregon doesn’t even have a port. :-p

The vehicle I reserved was not available when I went to pick it up. It was also impossible to reach a live person via phone. I sent an email and never received a response. I will say that they upgraded my vehicle though since the one I reserved was not available. That was a nice gesture.
