This is the most terrible car rental experience I have ever had in my life.

When I showed up to get the car I booked, they had rented them all out, and just told me I was out of luck. Worst customer service experience I've had in a very long time.

Instead of a Mazda 6, we got a Nissan altima which is fine as they say they don't guarantee make and model, but the trunk wouldn't stay locked and the driver's seat adjustment lever was broken off. The younger guy I talked to was awesome, should've got his name. An older guy there was trying to be homophobic against two married women that were renting and trying to charge extra for a 2nd driver despite their policy being not having to pay for a spouse as a second driver. Freshly washed and cleaned car for as cheap as I could find so I was still grateful for them providing the service. Not terrible but maybe I'm just not used to renting a car in downtown Portland.

Car not at requested location for pickup. Requested airport but had to take taxi to downtown Portland in a terrible part of town to get car. Staff was not helpful. Terrible experience.

Quicker pickup when I tried to call on the phone.

Poor|Sept 2021

Our flight was delayed so we got there one and a half hour after our scheduled pickup time. We waited 20 minutes for them to "clean and sanitize" only to get in it and it was gross. Seats had powder on thim, smelled like cigarettes, food on radio controls, tobacco leaves near the shifter, and overall dirty. We will never rent from this location ever again.

Absolutely TERRIBLE experience. I called Enterprise 3 days prior to travel and was told everything was confirmed. I was told on the phone there was a free shuttle from Portland airport to our pick up location (downtown Portland). There was no shuttle from airport once we arrived. We paid for a Lyft to our pick up location and arrived at 12:50 (50 minutes after our arranged pickup time due to looking for free shuttle at airport). When we arrived there was a sticky note on the door of our enterprise saying "Went to lunch be back at 1pm." We waited as until 2:15 until the manager of enterprise arrived. Once she arrived the manager told us she didn't have our phone number so she was unable to call us. The car she provided had completely bald tires and was unsafe to drive. The only other car available was a completely electric car that we were told would need 2.5 hours to reach full charge. We were already late for a wedding due to the late arrival of manager so we took the car which was unacceptable to us because we had a long road trip planned after our wedding through the rainforest and knew charging ports would not be available on our journey. We arrived late to our wedding and then again traveled to a local Enterprise the following day to exchange the car for gas powered car. The manager was very accommodating the following day however this did not make up for the awful experience. The car we were given for the remainder of our trip had many dings and scratches and also did not have full tread on the tires. Overall this was a terrible experience and I will not be using Priceline/Kayak or Enterprise in the future.

I have never in my life had such an awful experience. How I was treated and spoken to by the staff girl was unreal after just not having my car for no reason. Will never rent with them again!

Watch carefully where they book you at. We looked for a rental at the airport and that's what I thought we signed up for, but they changed to a downtown location as the airport was overbooked - Options for $100 Uber rides to and from that location to the airport or a $300 inventory fee to Enterprise... Car was fine though.

Too many cars at one time and it was backed up so many that people were leaving them which made me leave mine. Should have been better organized.

Poor|July 2022

The line to pick up the car took about an hour & a half. The car smelled of cigarettes, had not been washed with bugs on the windshield, had crackers on the floor, dirt & dust on the dashboard and dry mud on the back of the front passenger seat. Clearly the car wasn’t serviced - we would have gone back to the counter but it was still a mob scene. Truly the worst rental car experience ever!

The car had a bad smell so I had to buy an air freshener. Not ideal having passengers or giving the car to valet when there’s a stench like that.

They were absolutely terrible . The Avis at the airport sent me downtown which I had to pay for just for the store downtown to tell me they did not have the vehicle that the airport did. Then then said they had another vehicle I could use. Then they told me they could not rent to me unless I had a major credit card even though I had made my reset two months prior. I was stuck at the airport with 8 month triplets for four hours until I could rent from somewhere else

The first rental car they gave me died in the middle of traffic. The experience of a tow truck arriving, driving an hour back to the rental location despite closer locations nearby, and getting a new rental car was horrible. The new rental car also had malfunctions. I am in the process of getting a refund. Their customer service needs much improvement, and they aren't returning my phone calls despite giving my name and number for a call back.

Price was very good. Car was a good car for my time in the area. Car was very dirty and had scratches on the right door. I took a photo on my phone, and wrote down on the form regarding scratches, and was told I could drop it off before or after renting the car. I went to do it before I left, and the line was so long that people were pushed back outside the very small office in which 15 people were now ahead of me. Decided to drop it off when I returned the car, which I did.

Weekly rate quoted in reservation not honored during check in. Three phone calls have not resolved the issue.

Bad survey. Pickup was not good, drop off was great! Why do you glom them together? The person who I worked with at pickup did not know her job well. I did not receive any information on returning the car or other offers of information. Drop off was great. Rusty and Mike in the garage were so nice and so helpful! They were both wonderful!

Everything went well until they billed me for more than I signed off on. I signed for 220 and got billed for 308. I did not do anything that would have changed the original price I signed for. I’ve been on hold to speak with a representative for 18 minutes now and still waiting. This was my first time using Budget and I certainly won’t go through them again.

Drop off should be better. Airport drop off isn’t an overnight drop off option, I tried.

Was cheaper to rent directly here than to go from the airport - it was a really quick and efficient process and I'd definitely do it this way again.
