seemed very expensive. My "upgrade" to a better car should have been complementary, or at least would have been at national or avis. I also was talked into using the full tank of gas, and hopefully I don't get charges for that.

The car was beautiful and we enjoyed it. I had never driven a hybrid before so it would have been nice if someone expected that most people haven’t. I felt pretty dumb having to come to the booth and ask someone how it worked. I also found out at the last minute that this agency did not want me to take the car outside of a specific area geographically. Perhaps that was in the information, but I certainly didn’t see it until we went to check out the car. Potentially a big problem and to find out on the day we picked it up was unhelpful.

The price point could be better. Brittany was thorough and efficient. She even got on the ground to take proper pictures of damage to be photographed cheerfully. We would come back just for her customer service.

I was pleased with everything except that they marked off the on me the same minute windshield ding that was noted in the previous damages list when I picked up the car, presumably because I had added insurance, so they can file another claim. Possibly just an error, but judging from the previous reviews it seems suspicious.

I found out I was driving a car which the tab was expired and because of that, they told me to change the car in the middle of my car rental. They told me I would need to pay extra because the car would be upgraded. After a long argument, I was able to keep the car with the expired tab. I also asked to add my husband for the additional driver but their response took so long that I had to drive by myself. I would not use this company ever again.

Needed to cancel 2 weeks prior to vacation and was allowed to within the company guidelines but was not able to due to the cancellation system in place. Felt like a scam.

Overall was lied to by the guy working the desk. When picking up the car I was told I had paid too much money when scheduling rental online. So in order to get the "value" for what I had paid they told me they would add on the insurance and toll pass. Only to find out I would be billed extra for that later. Then I was told as long as I had the car back before they close I would only be charged one day. I had the car 26 hours and returned the car an hour and a half before they closed. Then I was still billed for having the car 2 days.

Price was good for a last minute rental. Pickup was fast and good. Car was clean and comfortable.
When I turned my vehicle back in on the date/time scheduled, it was not registered correctly and I received a text three days later saying my rental car had not been turned in. It is now four days after my rental drop-off and I have yet to receive a receipt from Budget/Avis. The online receipt request form does not recognize my confirmation number. So frustrating.

Our flight was late getting in, and instead of someone staying, several of us were left stranded, and the one hotel near by was sold out. This was the worst experience. We had to pay for a 3 hr Uber since all hotels were sold out within all surrounding cities due to a Taylor Swift concert.

Quick and smooth. Value was great compared to other rental places. I got an SUV for the price of a standard car at other rental car companies. It's winter....who doesn't need an SUV with all wheel drive?

Arrived at the rental car depot for SEATAC and joined nearly 200 people in line for Budget. The estimated wait to see an agent and pick up my reserved car (although I very much doubted there were enough cars for everyone in line) was over 2 hours. I had to cancel the rental agreement and accept higher prices from Alamo on the spot in order to maintain my itinerary. Terrible experience, and not the first bad one with Budget. Won't be selecting them again.

The man that I picked up the car from made multiple mistakes and then took a break in the middle of me paying the final payment for the car. He was nice enough initially, but then he literally left for at least twenty minutes without any real notice and I then saw him just chilling as he took his "break." When he finally returned and gave me the keys, he didn't tell me where to go and gave me no instructions as to what to do. The people at the actual car pick-up in the garage were really nice, but just as confused as me because this man had repeatedly messed up and sent me the wrong information in my digital ticket. Overall, because of this man's errors and the break he took, I didn't leave Budget rentals until at least 90 minutes when I first arrived there.

I canceled the rental which Budget was ok with. I booked through KAYAK Seattle Tacoma International Airport and it was changed 2 days before to Everett Washington airport rental. Either KAYAK or Budget need to stick to their reservation agreement. Your competitor Alamo gave me a better rate at the airport I needed so you lost my business but I am not commercially upset with your change.

Understaffed counter at rental center resulting in long lines. I waited in line for 52 minutes thus missing other commitments. I ended up renting from another agency as I could no longer wait without substantially impacting travel plans.
I went to Hertz and pick up car but they didn’t let me rent it. I need my money back. They said I need to use same card when I purchased from you guys but I payed with Affirm and they didn’t accept my card.

My experience was terrible. Despite making a reservation with Hertz in March, they didn't have the car I reserved and made no attempt to find me an alternative. They cancelled my reservation and did not give me a refund. I will not be renting with Hertz again.

Pickup was delayed by 1 1/2 hrs. even though we had a set time. Dropping off though was terrible. The Clayton, Missouri site was to close by Saturday/noon. We got there at 11 am only to find the place closed. Instructions on the door stated to drop off original receipts and key in the drop box. Problem - there were only three parking spaces available and they were all filled! The 1-800 number for assistance is a terrible phone tree without an option to leave a message. We ended up parking on the city street and hoping the car wouldn't be ticketed. We had to wait until Monday morning to confirm that they had found the car (we had left a note to its whereabouts). This is our second bad experience with Hertz. The people at the desks are just fine but the company policies are not customer friendly.

They gave our car away and didn’t have another one available for another 4 hours after our scheduled pickup time. Terrible experience given we had made the reservation 3 months in advance.
Car was ok, Malibu instead of a Corolla. Pick up was not good. Entire process was too long, then it took forever to get out of the rental car garage at Sea-Tac airport. From arriving at the rental car terminal until leaving with the car was an hour and a half process. Unacceptable. I reserved the car, Alamo had all the information it needed prior to my arrival. My time is valuable.
