All was fine except the pickup. There were about 6 customers that waited almost an hour for the Budget rep to arrive at the window so we could rent a car. I understand that things were crazy because of the snow, but is snow really that unusual for Aspen? After the Budget rep arrived, he wasn’t rude, but neither was he friendly. I felt more like I was a pain, than a customer.

One way rental from Aspen CO to Bozeman MT. Two day trip. Went awesome. Easy pickup and drop off. And much appreciated being able to upgrade to an all-wheel drive vehicle (nice Bronco Sport) verses 2-wheel drive since I was driving a mountains roads route in January.

Everything was wonderful. Irving was the name of the rep that assisted us. The car model that we booked online was unavailable and for a small upgrade fee - we rented a luxury SUV. Very happy with this rental experience.

I loved how fast and simple the service was. No one tried to push any additional services on me, and everyone was so kind. Customer service was great! Had help with my bags. I have never had such a great experience with a rental car company. Will definitely look to Hertz first. Also extremely pleased with the deal I got. Hertz by far has the best service.

No complaints.

The rental person added an extra $100 to the reservation over what kayak said it would be. Then told us we needed the 4 wheel drive truck he had and said it would only be $100 more. By the end our rental price doubled what kayak said it would be.

Rude front desk woman! She acted as if she really did not want to be working on new year's day. I left my son's water bottle in the car rental and asked if she could flag it down for me. She declined and asked me to fill out a lost and found report. I would have appreciated if she could have just called the staff to see if they found my 2 year old's water bottle.

They grossly misstate the price on Kayak to get you to sign up with them.....then you get there and there are a couple hundred dollars of add on fees. Unethical business dealings.

The car was what we expected, excellent navigation system and good gas mileage.

The Alamo Rep called me about a hour before scheduled time, asking me when to be picking it up. I arrived 10 min. prior, And no rep was present, proceeded to call assistance number and still took about half an hour to get the car once rep showed up. Car smelled awful, hadn’t been cleaned proir.

Easy drop off and pick up.

The car upon pick up was dirty. Plus, it is underpowered and underserving for the area. The attendant tried to tell us all cars have trouble in CO, but we have been to CO many times and this was our first issue. Plus, we rode in friends cars without issue. The attendant nearly hit us when we arrived
