I paid over $130 in extra fees that were never mentioned when I originally booked. The listed price is a lie and you are facilitating scamming people.

I struggled to lug the child seat along with my child and bags across the parking lot to the car at pickup. Otherwise great experience.

Did have a reservation, but seems with the people in front of who did not have reservation received a car of my class. By the time they got to the 2 people who had reservation who were in the same boat as me.. Had to wait an 1/2 hr plus to receive vehicle(s). Seems this part of the system does not work as well for people who have reservations.. Especially when flight # ,airline and time of pickup was already in thier system... Have been in this posistion before, the difference was the car I reserved was waiting for me, while the people without reservations were the ones waiting for their car...

Initially, dollar did not have the vehicle class that I selected. The manager at dollar did not want to go out of her way to please me. She was very rude. She wanted to give me a Kia as a replacement to my Chrysler 300. She stated that it was in the same class of vehicle. The friendly gentleman who was retrieving cars went out of his way to replace my 300 with a Volvo. Other than the manager of the store, everyone else and the service was fantastic

The car was dirty on the outside. Also, at the airport location, check-out should've been completed at time the vehicle was turned in.

Horrible experience. They gave car with no battery & no curiosity to even serve us first as we return back due to bad car issuance. I dont recommend to any one for this kind of poor customer service & they gave a remote that has no buttons( Mazda SUV). Plus car has all kind of indicators & we are not sure if that car will complete the trip.

When I picked up my vehicle, the agent told me the parking space where my rental was located. However, I did not understand him, and had to return to the rental booth to ask again. It would have been helpful to have the parking space clearly marked on my paperwork. Overall, though, everything went smoothly.

Pick up was a disaster, long wait and much confusion between Avis, Budget and Payless. Car turned out to be an SUV that was backed up to a light post base so the rear door couldn’t be opened to put in luggage. Drop off was also a mess as there was no place to put the car and no directions to bus stop. I was directed into a spot which was partially blocked by a plastic post so I couldn’t get in straight. I also was not expecting to have $250 charged to my card when the rental was PREPAID!

The car windows would have benefited from a treatment of RainX...during a couple of rain storms the raindrops beaded up so much on the side windows and side mirrors that it was very difficult to see through them. I even stopped once to wipe them off, but they instantly beaded up again.

we arrived in Detroit at 10:30 pm to the budget standing spot. No bus ever came to pick us up. My daughter and i and another gentleman stood for 40 min in the cold. We stopped several other rental companies to see if they would please pick us up or call the budget company and they kept telling us one would come eventually finally after 40 minutes I pleaded with a driver to please take us. He was from Avis and took us to the Avis lot. Told us budget was closed and we rented a car from them. Thank you Avis!

The truck had not been cleaned. A dirty straw felll from the passenger visor, the floors were dirty. The truck had a low oil light came on, and the dip stick was dry, so I added a quart. That should never be necessary in a rental car.

The first car budget gave me had a check engine light on for oil pressure. I was asked to take the car to garage and wait for oil change. I didn't have time and requested a new car and received one that stunk like cigarettes. At least it drove safely though. Trash in the backseat and trunk area from previous renter.

From the shuttle driver, to the counter agent, to the man who checked the car in on drop-off I can only say they were all amazingly professional and pleasant. Maybe it's a Michigan thing, but a great experience all around.

The premium suv I reserved wasn’t so premium. A ton of air sound would come in from the windshield once I hit 45mph as if the weather strip was not properly replaced. The breaks were also very bad the vehicle should have been serviced before being rented out.

We were charged an extra $31 for being 3 minutes late on the drop off. Seriously? Everything else was great, including all of the people we talked with. If Corporate policy instructs a $31 charge for being 3 minutes late, we will never rent from Enterprise again.

Van was brought up, left for 6 miles, then low tire light came on, went back, swapped stuff to another van. Sienna was learning curve. Had an emergency, at home. returned car to DTW lot used 6 of the 9 days. Got no receipt from accepting agent. Got home to my wife in hospital and found a receipt from Thrifty charging $198 for AP conc fee which I told them was already in the previous contract. Called 3 times, Thrifty refused to reverse. Even when i said they had 3 days rental revenue to use the van. Didn't want credit for the days, just not to pay twice for airport fee.

The vehicle is clean but not well-maintained. The suspension was very stiff and felt like it did not exist. The door light alarm was always on, even I closed all the doors firmly several times. And I had to walk across the parking lot to find the car in the rain by myself.

Exterior of car was not clean. I upgraded to a luxury car category and the employees working did not really understand well which cars belong in that category. I expected a better overview of which cars I could take out of this category. Next time I will not upgrade due to this.

Everything was excellent except for one thing; the amount charged on my credit card was way higher than my rental agreement and the final amount upon return. The National car rental location was Detroit, Mi Airport and returned to Brownsville,Tx airport. Something happened in the transition and hopefully National can correct the problem! I have a dispute reference number and I am waiting for the call from National at this time.

We had a delay because the vehicle we reserved wasn’t on site and ready at the appointed time. We had to wait a little over an hour past our pick up time. They were as accommodating as they could be considering the circumstances and they adjusted my rental cost fairly to compensate me for the inconvenience. Outside of that, the experience was perfect and the vehicle was great. I would definitely rent again.

I was refused a rental car because the ID reader was not up to date and did not recognize my driver’s license. It is a basic enhanced real ID from MN. Very disappointed and frustrated. I also waited at least 20 minutes for the manager to come “verify” that they couldn’t rent me a car. They didn’t even try to help me find a solution. What a waste of time. Shout out to Enterprise for finding me a rental!
