Wonderful|Aug 2017I liked two things about Avis 1) Originally I booked car via Rentalcars.com. They had confirmed my booking and 1 day before pick up they cancelled it without even sending me email or letting me know! I chat with their support and they said: Sorry, we cannot help you. WTF?! So I had to arrange everything after arrival - at Avis counter there was very nice guy with fluent English that helped us a lot finding a good deal that would be similar to original booking. Thanks again Mr. Francisco P.! Great help! 2) Our car got some engine issue by the end of our trip in the middle of the national park. Avis call center was helpful and they brought us new (much bigger car) in several ours with no question or extra charge. So: Avis rulez - I will use it again next time Rentalcars.com sucks - never more

Poor|Jul 2017Refused me service even though I agreed to a $5000 hold on my debit card. Had to take a 6 hour cab ride for $275. Thanks for leaving me stranded at the Quito airport at 4 AM Avis!

Okay|Jul 2017The car lacked power for going up hills.

Poor|Apr 2017Nothing about this experience to like
Avis does not honor rentals done through Kayak. Avis don't recognize the car size that Kayak gave me or the insurance I signed up for through Kayak. I ended up spending almost 3 times the amount that quoted through Kayak. I will never do business with neither Avis nor Kayak again. The burrito with a competitive market place is that I choices. I will do what I can to spread the word so other people don't need to experience the same

Very Good|Mar 2017Car was nice and employees were friendly.
More expensive than the estimated total. Insurance and unlimited miles added 30% on top of the expected cost.

Poor|Apr 2022I reserved a car for 6:00 am. Got there shortly before then and nobody was there. We waited until 6:20 am before asking the man at the Europcar window what was going on and he informed us that Alamo does not do single day rentals. This is not a 24 hour service, and they do not respect reservations. Do not use.
6.0
Okay|Mar 2022Base rental reservation was excellent, but they demanded 'mandatory' added insurance which more than doubled the price. DON'T EVEN BOTHER, Uber is much cheat for what we needed.

Good|Feb 2019Staff was very friendly and efficient.
When I picked a category it showed Ford Edge or equivalent. I got Nissan Kicks, which is definitely not comparable. The car was very sluggish on the hilly highways in Ecuador where I vacationed. The price was the same, though.

Poor|Jun 2021Car booked was not available (actually turned out was never at that location- was being used as a shuttle vehicle for the employee at the airport Car was poorly maintained (engine check light on, intermittent fault with remote locking key fob that set the alarm off). No one at the “24 hour” drop off location at airport so had to get security guard to phone someone. They pushed extra insurance on us despite us having adequate preexisting coverage
2.0
Poor|Apr 2022They don’t actually have cars in their lots. They didn’t honor our request because they didn’t have a car, but upon spending the afternoon there trying to find a solution I found out they never have cars there, and usually deliver with delays or can’t deliver the car on the reservation and while hike the prices up to give an “upgrade”.

Internet prices through kayak and car rental com are less than half of the actual cost. Be ready to lay at least twice as much. We paid about 210% of advertised price

Poor|Feb 2019When dropping off the car at the Budget lot there wasn’t an employee working. The doors were locked and it was only 8am. We were told to wait five minutes and after 30 we brought the car to the airport departures area and had to leave the keys with the Budget desk. Who also had employee working.

Poor|Apr 2017From the begging of the rental, it was a disaster. Two hours into the trip the AC went out in he car. I called their support number only to be made to wait 2 hours so they could send a guy without tools to put his hand infront of the vent and confirm that the AC did not work. Then to be told they dis not have another car to give me. When I finally arrived at Guayaquil (where they had another car for me 240 miles away) the people at the counter had left more than 10 minutes early and forced me to lose an extra day. But the best part was the way Ivan Quillupangi (fleet manager), tried blaming me for scratches on a car that were marked on the paperwork pre-rental and for three tire blow outs due to low air pressure (that was also marked on the paperwork). Not only that but questioning why I changed out the tires intead of calling, even after I advised that the tires blew in an area with no reception at 11:00pm on the side of a mountain. I liked the way that when I told them the brakes in the car were pulsating the response from them was that it was impossible because they had just changed them; however, they left the old brake rotors that were warped and caused the pulsating and lack of stopping power. I liked that once I got back to their Guayaquil office and showed them all this they said that although they can see what I am telling them, the guy on the phone 250 miles away that can't see says different that the proof of pictures, paperwork and items present. When I claimed the scratches were on the paperwork, they said that it was a "misprint" when I showed them the warpage on he brake rotors they pretended not to understand telling me the brakes had been changed. when speak My if the tires they said well you could have hit something and when I asked them to show me what exactly makes them say that or to show me on the tire or rim any impact point, they simply shrugged and said that that is what the guy from Quito (who'd never seen me or the car) said. Last but not least they expected me to provide good customer service by taking the car to and from the airport for inspections. Lastly when I got to the airport they did not have a comparable vehicle for me (7 passenger SUV) and merely had a compact, and expected me to provide a new deposit (after having given $2,400.00 on the current car). In short I was left at the airport stranded without a car. To add insult to injury Hertz ecuador has nothing to do with Hertz US. In all Inlost 4 days out of my trip dealing with their problems and spent an additional 3 days without a car, was forced to buy flights from Guayaquil to Quito and cancel parts of my trip.

Poor|May 2022They canceled on us the day before. While we were in a foreign country. We had to find a new car rental in less than 24 hrs.

Poor|Apr 2022The option to hire meant insurance doubled the cost and even then the wheels, tyres, suspension and exhaust were not covered. This felt like theft. Driving on poor roads when there are places where even major roads have pot holes 50cm deep and reach many hundreds of metres long and all the way across the road and the insurance is rigged against you is theft. I will never use Sixt again however pleasant the staff who were charming

Mediocre|Jan 2023It has been so difficult with the rental details, that I decided to cancel the reservation and to use taxis instead. Sixt in Quito did not honor the price or condition that I agrred to when reserving the car thru Kayak several weeks before the trip.

Poor|Dec 2021I have rented a car once before with Sixt in California, and everything went smoothly. Not so this time. I made a reservation for a car in Quito, Ecuador. Within a couple minutes of making the reservation (not before), Sixt let me know about a mileage limit, which turned out wouldn't be enough for the trip I wanted to make. I tried calling Sixt locally in Ecuador, internationally at their 888 number, as well as tried to cancel the reservation through the booking agent. None of it was successful: Sixt never answered the phone locally; the international number would not connect me to an agent (the call dropped 3 times before I gave up), and after an hour messaging with Priceline / Kayak, neither was able to resolve the issue. I eventually opened a dispute with my credit card company, which has temporarily refunded me the reservation money, but the official dispute can take months to resolve, and I don't know what the final verdict will be. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed with Sixt this time around.

The car was horrible. A Chevy Spark with bad brakes and all banged up. I wanted to cancel the reservation and they told me they couldn't refund me for 10 days. They made me wait an hour just to tell me they couldn't simply refund my money while constantly trying to upsell me. Horrible experience.

Poor|Jun 2017Nothing
Everything was horrible. Service, the quality of cars were miserable. the first car that I got broke down within 20 minutes in the middle of the highway and the replacement refused to go above 40 km/hr. The customer care giggled throughout my panic stricken phone call when the car broke down in the middle lane of a highway when cars were moving at 90km/hr. The engine started emitting smoke. The local agency officials giggled and ridiculed me, in Spanish language assuming that I do not understand anything, for being a women driver. I had to ask them to stop and remind them that I do understand the language even if I do not speak it. Then the giggling and smiling stopped. They refused to return the car before the contract was up. But I could not drive the car cause it was in such a bad condition. They have sexists employees who spent more time making fun of me than trying to solve the problem. I had to leave the car at the location without any written acknowledgement for the return and file an official complain with both Thrifty and better business bureau to get my money back including the deposit which should have been returned with the car. I finally went to Avis who gave me a car in a perfect condition which could easily be driven even in mountainous roads.
