Cheap Car Rentals in Sarasota

Not washed .gas tank not completely full

It was more a cheap flights and Kayak problem. I specified renting at the SRQ airport and my car was actually reserved at. LocTion downtown but I was never notified that this was not at the airport. We waited over 40 minutes in line o my to be told there was no car reservation in my name and no cars were available. Agent did not try to help in any way.

Great customer service, quick, clean and fast in/fast out!

Excelente servicio el personal muy amable un joven de nombre Roberto en el aeropuerto de san Antonio muy atento con el cambio del vehículo, pues me vandalizaron el primer vehículo y me lo cambiaron súper rápido

I waited over 3 hours in line to check in for my pickup, then another more than 30 minutes outside waiting for them to drive up my rental.

Pickup at the airport was horrible! Long line abs only one Thrifty rep. Took close to an hour for the pickup. Drop off was wonderful.

Checking the car out from SRQ took over an hour. Reason for long lines? Short staff and same process for getting a car that Budget used in 1980’s . It should have been faster.

Took about 30-45 minutes to get the car.

Great experience fast no problems Will rent and recommend

$300 in surprise add-ons after paying the original amount to rent the car. Why advertise a price online and charge that price, to only add to the bill once your at the counter and have no other choice. I will not be renting from dollar again

Waited in line for 1-1/2 hours, and then the lone agent at the counter (who was already working at a snail's pace) announced he was going on break with 20-30 people still waiting in line. When I finally got my vehicle it was filthy. Dirt and spills on the interior, outside unwashed, sticker residue on the windows, and the rearview mirror was coated with so much grime I couldn't see out of it. On top of that it only had 1/4 tank of gas and there was no one around to show it to. When I returned the car the agent told me that I needed to take a picture of the odometer and fuel gauge when I picked it up, otherwise I had to bring it back with a full tank! The lady next to me complained that her car was empty as well.

Had to wait forever to get a car as it wasn’t available when we requested. However the front desk manager gave us a discount for waiting so long which was very thoughtful

Our flight was late arriving and satasota airport was helpful was able to get another car Mr Lopez was awesome when arriving back. Very helpful and friendly

Jonathan was great at the Thrifty deck in Sarasota

They did not have a car so we had to take a Jeep which was more $ telling us to return next day to change out. We did still no car told us to come back next day which we called 1st to confirm. Arrived they 1st told us they had to clean the car then said it was cleaned. It was not cleaned we found personal items in car including an apron and bottle opener in addition there was a film on outside of windshield that made driving at night dangerous. Returned the car to the Fruitville location to learn we were charged the $25/day insurance which we told Clark Rd twice we didn't want & we advised on lack of cleanliness.We told if car came from them this wouldn't have happened and that we would need to call Clark Rd to resolve insurance issue.Tried to call Clark Rd from the time we left Fruitville and was on hold from the time we left to almost to airport. Clark Rd staff was rude and ubrupt on insurance and as I explained we were never given a paper copy or email or charges. Did get charges removed. Recieved same inquiry as this from Enterprise and I sent all of above and have heard nothing. So now will see if I hear from this. Lack of reponses will certainly impact my choices in furture.

My reservation was wrong. Tried correcting it at the counter. The sales person fixed the issue but had the days wrong. I ended up paying way more then expected. I called hertz to fix the issues was treated very poorly on the phone by the customer service rep. He was unwilling to fix the issue. He talked over me and wouldn’t let me explain the situation. I ask for his supervisor only to be given excuses as to why I couldn’t speak to him. It was very frustrating. I will never rent from them again. It was my first time and will be my last.

We discovered after driving 7 miles that the gas tank had not been filled. So we had to go looking for fuel. Then, we notified Hertz. When we turned in the car in West Palm Beach, after having to shell out my cash, all Hertz would give me was a credit for a new rental.

Rental good, but bait and switch on pricing. Additional costs not disclosed in confirmation when I booked the car. Made it impossible to compare apples to apples when booking.

They leased me a car without current tags and I got a ticket. They replaced the car and gave me some gas,but it cost me half a day to deal with it.

Only two agents were working the desk. It took an hour and a half to get my car. Agents were friendly enough but needed help to move the line. There was nobody in the car rental lot to report any car inspection issues. Additionally, while the car was relatively clean, certain areas like the windshield and rear view mirror were dirty and I had to clean it myself.

I canceled reservation after 45 minutes in line with 40 people despite booking with priority. One person at the Sarasota airport counter. Crazy the other person left (originally 2 at counter) and never returned. Dollar rent a car had NO wait and a very efficient person working. Boo Avis.

Great location (walking distance from downtown), very clean building/cars, and very friendly/knowledgeable staff. The owner/operators are engaged and it really shows. On our visit we took Uber to hotel, then walked here in the morning for rental car pickup. Hassle free and quick.

excellent service. great experience!

How did they charge me $284 for 2 days???

They share a rental desk with other rental companies. It was busy and they only had one agent working the desk. He did a great job and was moving really fast, but it was just one guy. When it came time for our rental, the agent had to login again to the payless system, which took about 5 minutes. So, in all, we waited approximately 50 minutes to get our vehicle, causing us to miss a dinner reservation. I just wish I had known prior to renting that this would be the case, I guess it was still a good value, but unexpected delay.

So convenient and simple.

Understaffed with a 1.5 hour pickup line for prepaid cars. The vehicle was not what we expected or what was stated online. It also had interior damage and was visibly dirty. Will not rent here again.

Maintenance light kept coming on tried to call several times basically was left on my own. The tire pressure light came on for two tires at separate times and had to fill them. I felt like I was driving an used truck that I had to fix. For $300 on vacation it sucked!!!!

Car needed to be washed and wiper fluid was low and none was available.
