It took an hour and 45 minutes to pick up the vehicle. And although the Corolla only had 29K miles on it, it was very noisy

Wonderful|Feb 2023Friendly/knowledgeable easy to deal with staff. The vehicle was brand new and could have been set up, navigation, door locks, radio. Navigation didn’t work, radio sound and stations had to be set to be user friendly. Overall I had a very good experience with Alamo

Mediocre|Mar 2023We reserved a premium SUV WELL IN ADVANCE. Budget did not have a vehicle in our class. They tried to downgrade us to a smaller SUV or a pickup truck, both impractical and did not have the space we needed. We had to fight in order to get an SUV one size up. The agent did not listen to us and was not polite or easy to work with, and we had to keep arguing why what he was offering did not meet our needs. It was a very unpleasant experience and started off our vacation poorly. Will never again rent from Budget.

Okay|Mar 2023The lines at the pick-up facility in PHX were very long. Took an hour to see an agent. More staff was brought in to assist which made the lines move faster. Once in the garage there was another line to be assigned a car, another 30 minutes. Staff in garage was obviously working as fast as they could and overwhelmed. I ordered a standard car the attendant offered a small Honda and said that was a standard option. When I mentioned the car was to be similar to a VW Pasat she said that was, She was done with me at that point and said I could "Just wait in line again for another car option". I was then offered approached by another staff member and was offered a truck and was taken to one that already had a guest in it. I was then taken to another section of the garage and choose a Volvo. I felt sorry for the attendants as they trying their best with a crazy busy situation.

Very Good|Feb 2023Since I picked up my car just before the Superbowl-Event it was very busy. So I got a visibly damaged Ford Mustang. That´s not good for a "show-car" :( I rented the car via Budget but it was placed in the AVIS area. So it was way hard to find. Return was easy.

if you book through a third party it's impossible to amend your reservation. It would have been nice if there was some ability to do this

Very Good|Oct 2019The front desk guy was very cordial.
The line to pick up the car was very long and only two guys working at desk. Pretty much ruined all the positives of the experience.

Poor|Aug 2019OK
When I rented/and paid the car via Kayak, it was noted as "unlimited" miles BUT when I picked up the car, I was told there was a 250 miles limitation per day.Therefore, at our scheduled pick up the vehicle time of 10 PM, I did not have other options but to rent the same vehicle BUT twice the cost!

Very Good|Jun 2017The car had low miles which was great. Very comfortable to drive and ride
The wail, over 40 minutes, to see an agent to start the rental process.
9.6
Wonderful|Jun 2017The gentleman that checked us in was very nice, check out was smooth and quick
The line was extremely long, 2 member behind the counter for at least 20 people waiting. There was another employee there not helping customers check in. I'm not exactly sure what she was doing. Once a 3rd member came to the counter things moved much faster.

Poor|May 2017N/a
They didn't have my car for me at 6:00am when it was reserved. They told me to sit and wait for 2 hours because staff went home sick. I went next door to Enterprise and they helped me right out.

Wonderful|May 2017The overall ease of reserving, checking in and out and the quality of the ride.
Hard sell to upgrade.

Good|Apr 2017At the car pick up place I noticed that the mystery vehicle I was rented seated 7 passengrs, way too big for me, one person. The car check out person did exchange the vehicle for a small sedan which was perfect. All vehicles were new, clean, and this part of the rental was easy.
I waited in line for a full hour, standing in line with thirty other people, to get to the counter to rent my vehicle. This was inexcusable. There were two customer service people behind the counter and it took about 10 full minutes per person to check out a car. This was after several hours of travel and I was anxious to get out of the airport and to my condo in the Phoenix area. Incidentally, my check out person had a cold and kept wiping his nose with his hand. Am wondering if he was contagious. You really need to hire more Advantage/E-Z Rental customer service agents to service the renters. Everyone in line was complaining about the wait and I did mention it to my agent who basically did not reply.
5.6
Fair|Apr 2017Car was new and nice. Price was competitive.
After a long flight the last thing you want to do is wait for a car. We had to wait in line for about 45 minutes and they ran out of cars right after we got ours. Can you imagine landing, waiting in line for 45 minutes and then being told, sorry, I know you have a reservation but we can't honor it. That happened to about twenty people that I saw.

Wonderful|Feb 2023I like when I signed for the vehicle I wanted, I only had to go to the slot of where the vehicle was parked, it was very easy and simple to be able to find the vehicle and just drive out, rather than just to line up again to wait until an attendant gets the vehicle for you after lining up to sign for the vehicle, which was approximately 35 mins wait.

Okay|Feb 2023Line to pick up the car was awful. Pricing is outrageous with all of you guys these days . .

Fair|Sep 2017The car was clean and well maintained.
The price ended up being twice what was advertised on Kayak. The agent at the counter charged my card and finished out my ticket before even explaining the charges. When I asked about them, he was unable to satisfactorily explain them. I felt like my questions weren't important and the agent wasn't prepared to answer them.

Very Good|Aug 2017After flying across the country (Syracuse to Phoenix) we arrived to pick up our car and was told they didn't have any and that it could take a few hours to get. The first gentleman was very nice and apologized. He even suggested we check with their competitors. We did, with no luck, so went back to Dollar and the second man was rude and showed no interest in helping us. With no other options, we went down to check in and wait. Luckily, it wasn't long before a car became available. My issue was that I made this reservation months in advance. Dollar should be ready to accommodate those reservations even if that means going to another one of their locations and picking cars up.
8.4
Very Good|Jul 2017Everything was as it can be expected. Low mileage car, practically new. Friendly customer service even at the late time of pick-up.
No car as pre-ordered was available, rental was then covered by a different but associated rental company, in our case Thrifty. Available car was the bare-bone basic model.
10.0
Wonderful|May 2017We liked that we were able to pick it up in PHX and leave it at LAS. The car was clean and very efficient on gas.
Not just this one but ALL car rental places try to sell extra insurance for when the car would be out of service in case of an accident. Why not just charge more and stop this ridiculous practice? . Most people have insurance or credit cards that cover in case of accident.
