Bad from the start. Checked in and had to provide card used for booking. Since it was booked online through apple pay, no card was used. I was forced to call customer service to change the card although it was pre-paid. This caused a 15 minute delay. Then when I went back to the counter, after checking me in, they said the car would be ready in 40 minutes at 2:40. My check in was 1:30. Of course they offered that if I paid for an upgrade it would be ready now. Scam.

I have Hertz Gold, but they still made me go through all the license and credit card stuff because their computer can't handle that the reservation came from Kayak, even though the booking was on their site. Took forever. Also the car did not have a functioning air conditioner, and it was a hot weekend, so the whole experience was bad.

We booked a full size SUV (GMC Yukon) 2 weeks in advance, when we reached to pick up first of all we had to wait in line for more than an hour and then we were told that the vehicle we requested ]wasn't available and had to downgraded to a minivan the guy at the counter had an attitude of take it or leave it.

Had to wait 5 hours to get my car. Due to weather and people not returning the car. Nothing Hertz could have done but it was very exhausting waiting that long and then having to drive in traffic back to Vegas.

A one day rental is over priced for a compact vehicle. Pick up took over 1 hr. Drop off: closed upon scheduled arrival time at 2pm and had to wait over 35min for the office to open (20+min more than the sign said on the door), which is ridiculous bc it was still unannounced since the scheduled time was 2pm. Basically causing delays of almost 23rd in our plans. Not professional or acceptable to repeat business with Budget

The pick up wait time was horrendous. They had one person working the counter and said person seemed more focused on chatting up the customer they were working with instead of recognizing they needed to expedite the check out process to get to the other customers,

I booked an SUV and they offered me a Camero or Challenger. Then had to wait 20 minutes for them to find me an SUV and the gentleman helping me could not get in contact with other people to assist us faster. I don't think the car was cleaned very well or wiped down prior to giving us the keys, but overall it was fine. Dropping off the car was possibly the worst experience I could imagine. I got there before they closed and waited almost 20 minutes until someone came to help me. The woman was rude and told me I had to use the drop box because they were closed, though I was there prior to closing. If she had assisted me upon arrival, I would have returned the car a day early and not had to pay for the extra day but the lack of customer service and willingness to help me costed me an extra $150. I would not drop off at this location again unless it was made aware prior that you need to use the drop box and not talk to anyone.

Upon arrival, Thrifty Car Rental did not have a car available! We were left without any choice but to rent a vehicle from Budget Car Rental at 3x the price. Will never use Thrifty or Kayak again!!

I had to wait almost 1 hour for my vehicle, offered a lower class vehicle for the same rate, cost to insure the vehicle is very high and I had to search for the manager because the employee would not call him. The good news is that the manager comp me for some of the rental fees.

Checkout with Dino at John Wayne airport was flawless. I loved the car and Phoenix Checkin was a breeze. I plan to lease with Alamo again as the entire process was seamless.

The documents received from the Alamo Rental Car desk team at SNA did not include their particular location’s phone #. Once finding the SNA Alamo Rental Car phone # on the web, their hours of operation were listed incorrectly, and I then needed to phone the MAIN ALAMO CUSTOMER SERVICE # to reach an agent to extend my reservation for another day. It would be helpful for the SNA Airport Alamo Rental Car franchise to include their office phone # and update the corrected regular business hours on all documentation given to clients and on the internet. Thank you.

Drop off location in SF was closed without warning. The sign on the Alamo store directed us to another drop off location that refused to accept the car. We needed to go to a third location which was hard to find.

Waiting in line for a rental pick up in this day and age is ridiculous. Doing so in an uncomfortable parking garage with no seating even more so. Add that to the not-very-pleasant people working there (barking at waitining customers, no eye contact mumbling at counter) and you get the picture. Plus, the car itself had terrible highway noise. Going with the recognized "brand" turned out not to be much better than the super-economical rental agency I decided against.

Pick-up was fine and initially the car seemed fine, then it started leaking gas the first time we tried to fill the tank, when we only two hours from home, and it took Avis 5 hours to get us into a new car, leaving us stranded in a parking lot in Phoenix, AZ with no bathroom from 9pm to midnight, and then waiting at PHX airport for another two hours to get a car. In the end they offered us almost no apologies, a tiny 50.00 dollar discount, and turned what should have been a straightforward 7-8 hour car ride into a 13 hour ordeal, which meant I ended up being awake for close to 24 hours. And to top it off, they didn't extend our rental period so after finally getting home and to sleep at 5am (I should have been home by about 11pm and in bed shortly after if all had gone well) I had to wake up a few hours later to go return the car and avoid the fees for a late return.
