Drop-off location has been closed down for years but still showed up on reservation. Waited on hold over 30 min to talk to Hertz rep. Hertz rep on phone also said it was still open. When I arrived, the receptionist at the connected hotel said it had been shut down during pandemic and had never reopened. Had to drive to airport to complete return.

The car smelled awful - clearly used long term by a smoker. The key fob was smashed so hard that the "lock" button didn't work and I had to lock from the car door on my way out. I was the last customer before closing so I wasn't able to tell the counter. Service at both drop-off and pick-up locations was good.

I would have appreciated someone to mark the dents on the car/cigarette smoke in the cabin (instead, I was told to mark them myself, and tell the employee at the receiving Budget Rental facility at the end of my place (different return) that they could call the originating Budget for "verification" even though they refused to mark anything in an official record). I found the overall price paid to be higher than what I was charged. They also refused to accept my auto insurance as coverage, requiring me to take full liability if something happened to the car. Very frustrating. Would not recommend.

I was told I would only be charged $36 for taxes since I prepaid with a third party. I have a charge to my credit card of $236. Hopefully $200 will be credited back soon?

Drop of was fast and the attendant was very friendly. The car was not what I expected, it was very dirty in and out, it had a strange smell and it was missing the front right hubcap. I was very disappointed with the car. I won't use Dollar again.

Waiting time was too long. Not enough people working. I ended up paying for insurance coverage which I didn't need because it was not explained clearly to me.

There were at least a hundred people in line in front of us. They were estimating 2-3 hours to get through the line. We luckily had a friend who had just received a car from another company and so we bailed and rode with him. Next time I'm paying more for a better company.

I had to wait nearly as long in line at the Sacramento airport Dollar rental as the flight from Portland had been (& I was 4th in a line of probably 40). 2 agents handling Thrifty/Dollar, appeared quite relaxed in their tempo of work. When I finally got to speak to the agent I asked if they were short-staffed. “Oh no, it’s always like this at Dollar/Thrifty). Probably a good idea to go with Hertz even though it’s going to cost a bit more.” I will be needing her advice.

There was a sign on the outside building stating that I should go to the main desk, but it didn't say anything about where the main desk was. I had to go into another building and find it.

Didn't have a car resembling the type I had reserved. Outlandishly high rate for collision-damage waiver: approximately 3 times the standard online rate (which I tried to buy but the website malfunctioned). Agent was condescending, and tried to persuade me that Enterprise's insurance was somehow better than the standard insurance available, which is absurd.

I rented a Premium class car and they gave me a Chevrolet Malibu. As I loaded the car and began to set the mirrors, seat, etc… I noticed a bad smell. Like someone had smoked in the car or something, so I rolled down the windows and continued but once I started driving the car the smell got worse. I also noticed a warning light on the dash. Being only a short way away I returned to the rental area. I explained what happened, and the agent smelled the car and apologized. He said he was going to provide an upgraded car and he told me I could have the Infiniti Q60. I didn’t know what that was, but once I saw it I told the agent it wouldn’t work as it was too small and only had two doors. He said it was a much upgraded car and that he didn’t have anything else. So I loaded the new car and was on my way. After a few miles I began to get cold as the a/c was pushing cold air very strongly. I tried to turn it off, but couldn’t figure out the system. Also, this was a night and the dashboard was lit way too bright, but none of the manual controls were illuminated (a/c, radio, etc). Again, I couldn’t find a way to dim the light. No scrolling wheel near the steering wheel like most models. It must have been in the electronic settings somewhere, but I couldn’t find it. Finally, as I drove back to the airport the following day I noticed the dash clock was like 10 hours off. I also couldn’t find the method to set the clock on the dash. To say the least I was not happy with the rental. I share that at the return counter and after some time they returned some of my rental fee, but that didn’t not negate the fact I didn’t have a suitable car or one that was easy to use during my shirt stay. I hope Alamo considers this in the future when renting future cars.
