Fast, efficient and kind service. The location on Virginia Beach Blvd in Virginia Beach is the best I’ve used so far.
Mechanically the car was great. I have 2 issues I need to report . The first one is that the car had been smoked in . It had a strong smell of cigarettes. If the local rental office would have been open I would have returned it but they closed not long after I picks it up. The 2nd issue was the Budget location at RDU airport. The restroom was filthy and by that I mean there was toilet paper all over the floor and had been there for quite some time, the only door to the toilet area did not have a way to secure the door from the inside , there wasn’t any soap to wash my hands and to complete this the staff who I told about these issues gave me attitude. So in all my Budget experience has me thinking I will most likely look for another company when possible to rent from . Thank you for the chance to express my experience.

AWFUL customer service. We arrived five minutes after they closed due to being stuck on the runway for an hour… I called from the runway to let them know we were coming and they’re only answer was that I could book a new booking for tomorrow, but there is nothing that they could do to call down and ask them to stay five extra minutes tonight… I had two young children with me so I could not just get an Uber and basically their attitude was that’s too bad you can just be stuck in the airport. AWFUL.
Very happy with the price for a van. We were helping someone move and the agent put the seats down for us in a Chevy Pacifica. That made it perfect for stowing all her stuff. The van was easy to drive and used very little gas. The agent was friendly.

Ease of picking up the car was nice but I did not like how it was not explained to me during pickup about gas, allowed mileage etc. I also found the car to be overpriced for what it was. It wasn’t a bad or good experience, just “okay” overall.

When I picked up the vehicle, it was so dusty/dirty on the outside that I couldn't safely see out the front window. The inside had tags everywhere from the last renters clothes shopping experience and strawberries which were molded and truly disgusting. I rented flor a week and throughout the week found clothes tags in every nook and cranny. Also the rear back right seat would not fold down which I didn't find out till I was hours away from the rental agency which made the trip significantly more difficult to negotiate luggage packing. The overall experience was great, the cleanliness of the vehicle is <1 star.
Have the rental available plus you kept $44.00 I cancelled at the desk

I wasn’t able to retrieve my rental because it was paid though Affirm. They needed the credit card that was associated with the reservation. I couldn’t provide a card if it was paid through Affirm. So they wouldn’t let me get the rental and I was forced to cancel. I called customer service and the guy was talking about their terms and conditions. But had no answer when I asked why it’s not in the terms and conditions to accept a reservation through a payment plan company like Affirm knowing a credit card is needed upon pickup of reservation.

Staff at Washington National and Melbourne were exceptional in their customer service. Genuinely hospitable and professional. So easy to pick up and drop off!
I’m going to focus on the negatives. The biggest two negatives were: (1) it took over three hours before my rental car was ready; and (2) the electric car’s batter would not charge beyond 43%. When I made the booking and when I was checking in to pick up, it was clear that I was dropping the car off at the DCA airport, which is around 190 miles from the rental pick up. After being assured the distance of the car would be around 250 miles, I agreed to use the electric Chevy. However, because 43% charge only can go around 100 miles, I had to charge the car 3 times. Each charge time was about half an hour and charging ports aren’t that populous so it would take a fair amount of time to be able to even get to the port. Ultimately, what should have at most been a four hour excursion ended up being 8 hours.

1st of all, dollar was not even open and we had to check out with Hertz. Secondly, they didn't have the kind of car that I reserved, so I ended up paying an extra $100, plus fees which came to an additional $200 above what I had already paid and reserved. Thirdly, the car was in need of servicing, and they said they didn't have another car to give me so I had to drive it around with the oil light flashing on the entire time. Because of this, we did not feel safe going to Shenandoah Park, which was supposed to be a major part of our trip. I will never rent from Dollar again.

Insane wait time wrecked my day and vehicle was not what I reserved
They didn't tell me I was on their "Unable to Rent" list until I was at the airport counter with my family waiting for a car to take us on vacation. I guess there is something on my credit report I was unaware of that caused my name to be in their database. This is not proper or good communication during the rental process done weeks in advance. I promptly walked over to the Avis counter and had no trouble renting a car.

We picked up at Airport but we didn't fly in and it was a little tricky getting to the office when we were driving in. Once inside we went to the National Desk but there was no one there, the issue was that there was a window open and it had a coat on the chair so it looked like someone had just stepped away. We waited, knocked and called out but no one came. Finally a worker passing by said we needed to go to the Alamo window and that did work fine But there should have been some sign at the National desk telling us to do that. The rest of our experiences were very good.

Strong smell of smoke in a partially cleaned car. No mechanism to report existing damage. Thankfully none major. Despite airport mask mandate, clerk did not wear one. Important to me traveling with family with lung disease. Will not use same company again if reasonable option exists.
