The manager is not friendly . She doesnt know how to operate the system even. She doesn’t even know how to take support from enterprise team if there is an issue. She told my license is legit but she can’t provide the car rental.

Mediocre|Feb 2023

The counter has one employee so each contract takes 10 minutes. We stood in line for over an hour. The employee was efficient, but should have had help. There were 4 cars to choose from and we took a semi cleaned one because it's a car I'm considering purchasing in the future and want to see how it drives. The car is mechanically questionable and Hertz needs to stay on top of their fleet servicing. It caused unnecessary anxiety on the trip and even thought I should turn it in early. The car and the long wait left me never wanting to rent from Hertz again. The really bright spot is the airport shuttle driver, he is personable, engaging, kind, high spirits and enjoyed that part of the experience.

Booked my rental through Kayak and clearly labeled that I wanted pick up to be at the airport. Through the point of booking, it even asked for my flight information so I though I was good. When I got to the Hertz at the airport though, they said my car was at a different Hertz on the other side of town. So I had to Uber to that Hertz to get my car. Then had to drop off the car at that Hertz and Uber to the airport.

This was a horrible experience. When reserving this car, I was asked what time I would like to pick up the car. I selected 6:00 pm the night before my work trip, thinking only times ACTUALLY available to pick up cars were shown. Imagine my surprise when I pulled up to Hertz only to find the location closed. I happened upon a Hertz employee leaving in his car and flagged him down. When I asked where after hours pick-up was -- he said they didn't have that service and that they were closed for the day. Oh...really? ME: "But -- I have to pick up a car for my work trip tomorrow" HIM: "Oh well, that's okay. We don't have any cars to rent anyway. Try again tomorrow." ME: ::Watches in the distance as he drives off:: This is ridiculous. I understand there is a car shortage, but if you SEE you have reservations on a day where you run out of cars, the reasonable thing to do is call and alert those people so they can plan accordingly. That's the most basic level of customer service I can imagine. I was able to track down a rental car, thankfully. But I won't use Kayak ever again and I most certainly won't use Hertz -- both have proven unreliable.

I got to the pickup location only to be greeted by an extremely rude employee. I was rudely told we don’t have a car for you even if you have a reservation. Very poor experience to say the very least.

Horrible experience at this location. I realize that this is not representative of Budget as a whole but this location was terrible. I would never go there again and I would highly recommend that everyone else stay away as well.

My car reservation was unfulfilled by Budget despite receiving multiple notifications my car was reserved. I went to pick up my car and they didn’t have a car for me or help me find another car in the area. However, I was able to use a different car rental service and Budget awarded me a 3 day voucher for a free rental . All the Budget staff were friendly and professional.

Rude staff at Raleigh airport AVIS/ Busget. Gave me a crappy car even though I insisted I have a toddler and plan to drive over 12 hours to Canada. USD $315 was charged but they didn’t even bother checking my air pressure.

I booked a 12-passenger van, confirmed the reservation the day before, and then showed up and they did not have any available and only had smaller vehicles. Absolutely awful experience that did not meet our needs. Exceptionally frustrating considering the extra effort I went through to confirm everything was ready the day before. Will not use again.

After I agreed to insurance, the car rental company immediately call me to that the car is actually unavailable. Now I never use KAYAK because there are some double exist that the list of cars available is not updated frequently.
