Jon, who was working at Hertz actually, was amazingly helpful and kind to me when I got in late. He is one of the most friendly people I’ve dealt with in my many years of traveling for work. I don’t want him to leave that desk, as he’s so wonderful at dealing with customers, but that man deserves a promotion. And if not that, a raise. Travelers are weary and tired and sometimes difficult. Jon could lead a very good team in dealing with those difficulties. Best, Jessamyn

The lady at the MKE counter told me there were no cars and she was closed, but I was able to get a reservation online, so she then said “I told you we didn’t have any cars, why did you do that…just a minute, I’ll ask my boss” I waited about another 15 min and then she said into the phone “oh great, it’s a one way”. She then said “well, I guess I have to give you this car” So I said, “oh, I’m sorry, you don’t sound happy” and she said, “well I’m losing a car ma’am”. I did finally get a car-but it took forever and she tried to make me feel bad for renting a car!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Drop-off was a breeze.

A staff person called me a few hours after picking up the car saying they needed to verify the mileage and it may need to come back and swapped for a different car due to a possible need for an oil change. Tried calling back, but they were closed, and didn’t open until 9:00am the next day. The main Enterprise toll free number we tried had hours that started at 7:00am, but we would have been already long gone. When I picked up the car, the staff said to “call us anytime if you need anything” but the branch’s restrictive hours and the toll free number’s lack of 24-hour service prevents this. In the end, the staff person said don’t worry about it, there’s typically a 1500 mile buffer built in. All turned out well, but we were stressed after getting that initial voicemail because there was no way we could go all the way back to swap out a car, nor divert our course to go to a different Enterprise to do it, as we were on strict time constraints.

I work in hospitality and legit have never seen such racial profiling. The old white ladies at every counter and agency including Alamo are all programmed to give non white customers a hassle. I sat and saw white after white in and out within seconds. Speaks to the culture of oak creek, Gen Mitchell airport, and its predominately white staff! Black travelers and renters be advised that the agents here will profile you and give you a hard time and steeper soft holds on your cc. Do better!

If you’re making reservations through Kayak/or third party, don’t pay for their liability / collision coverage (Allianz Global Assistance) and wait to purchase those additional add-on’s when you pick up your rental! When I checked in at Avis to get my rental I was told the $11 I spent for the Allianz’s Global Assistance liability / collision wouldn’t cover the rental car if an accident / damage occurred and i needed to buy Avis liability coverage for an additional $33.

Our reservation for a speciality van was at noon. We arrived at the location at 12:07 and the location was closed. The sign on the door and the website both said the location was open until 2:00. Avis was very unhelpful, insisting that it was my fault for “missing my appointment.” I told them that there were several steps they could have taken to make the situation a more customer service friendly experience, when the rental office saw they had a specialized reservation at noon, and they closed early, they should have had the courtesy to call us to alert us that our reservation was at closing time. The evening before, I called Avis to confirm the reservation, at that point the agent should have mentioned that the location closes at the time of my reservation. Neither steps were taken. I ended up having to drive to an airport location, and pick up a much smaller car, they didn’t have my specialty van in stock. I now have to pay $400 in shipping to get the remaining items shipped that was intended to go into the van. Avis customer service has been unhelpful, and maintains this is “my fault.” Buyer beware.

I still did not receive a refund until I filed a chargeback two days later. Very frustrating experience.
