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.

Long line at the pick up desk, and only one person working. About 20 minutes later, another person came, and it took her about 20 minutes to get situated and log in the system. Excuse was they have a new system and she had to reboot her computer. Then, she told be I had to pay for an upgrade to a Rogue, but that is what I had already reserved. She rechecked, and confirmed. Then, I had to pay an additional daily fee to add me as a driver. I explained when I made the reservation, it was paid by my husband's credit card, even though he cannot drive, he paid for it. The on line reservation would not allow me to change the primary driver to me, so didn't think it would be an issue. At DTW, suggest putting the sign for Dollar with the Hertz sign. We walked down to the Dollar sign, and was surprised to find out he needed to walk back to Hertz.

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.

Our flight was delayed and Budget was closed. No phone number to call. Fortunately, a random shuttle driver told us to go to Avis (along with many other people who were also delayed). Line out the door at Avis and only 3 people working there. We waited about an hour. Staff was extremely friendly and god humored but over worked and tired. Sent to a space number with no car. Back to the counter. Upgraded to a bigger car that wreaked of cigarette smoke and made a terrible noise the whole weekend. Bottom line, budget closes at 11:00 and renters should know to go to Avis. Pack your patience. The 3 employees were doing their best and everyone waiting on line recognized this.

I gave them a low rating because I had to call 4 times to make a change to the reservation. They said they would call me back and they never did. Then when I arrived at drop off, the change I'd called about 4 times wasn't recorded properly so I had to wait 20 extra minutes while they worked it out. It was mostly the Detroit Metro Alamo location that had poor customer service. It was a simple change. I needed to change the drop off location from Chicago to Detroit because my mother died during my reservation period. They wanted to charge me $600 extra to make the change. Ridiculous. Won't be using Alamo 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.

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!

The customer service representative was extremely unpleasant and combative. From the moment we walked in, there was an attitude of hostility. Simple questions were answered with abrupt and unhelpful responses. I was not expecting for the red carpet to be rolled out for me and I understand that the night shift may come with a bit less of a cheerful attitude but her abrasive attitude was completely unnecessary. What was particularly disheartening was the fact the woman behind us in line was greeted warmly and helped promptly. It was clear the service representative decided she did not like us from the moment we walked up. We nearly cancelled our reservation and left for another rental car company but luckily the manager Zachariah came to the rescue to assist with our reservation when the woman “helping” us decided to disappear while we waited. If this Russian roulette of service representatives is what I can expect from Avis, I don’t plan on using their service in the future.

I booked through Kayak and the price was $70, including taxes. When I dropped off, multiple charges I never agreed to were added and the total became $140, including $32.99 for waiving the extra insurance and $16.99 for a fuel surcharge when I didn’t use any of their fuel. So a good price became a bad price.
