I didn’t rent a car in Melbourne, I rented a car in Port Canaveral only to find out they had no vehicles upon my arrival, and said I had to pick up my car in Melbourne. 45 minutes away….. without a car??

There was a long line at check in and it took a while to get my car. The two people behind the counter were nice and working hard but they only had one printer to print out all the forms.

We have used Alamo many times prior to this visit and to be honest was disappointed. we hired a Chevy Tahoe, but was allocated a Nissan Amada on arrival, The car was not in the cleanest condition, but after a long flight we didn't want to make any fuss. soon after we noticed other faults with the car in terms of drive quality and performance. We will likely return to Alamo again but will take greater care with car we are allocated

Excellent rental company, easy check in and out. Jeff gets a special mention as he is very accommodating and gives excellent customer service - a credit to the company.
I don’t know what could have been better because it took me where I needed to go without any incidents. It could be better if I didn’t have to drive myself.

I hired my car for 2 weeks and unfortunately was involved in a crash on day 2, I went back to Avis to report this and was advised that my insurance would cover me, and that I could have a new car. I decided I did not want to drive as I was extremely shaken by the whole incident. I have not heard any more and feel I should have received a refund for the remainder of the hire period.

The avis counter staff was very unwelcoming and didn't even listen when I told him I can't fit my luggage in the car he gave. Made me drive to buena vista 75mins with my 3 year old in lap

The car we reserved wasn't available apparently we wasn't the only people that day who had same issue. Was offered an alternative which they claimed was 4x the cost of what we paid so was an "upgrade" ended up having to drive to another airport with it to swap it out as didn't drive well and got an alternative again still not what we originally booked for.

Avis did not have the reserved and confirmed 15-passenger van we reserved to transport guests from wedding ceremony to wedding reception that we had reserved one-month in advance and confirmed the reservation 1 week ahead of the wedding. When we went to pick it up at the designated time (the morning of the wedding) they said they didn't have it (sorry). PLEASE DO NOT USE AVIS IF IT IS FOR ANYTHING IMPORTANT LIKE A WEDDING.
We had booked on line and selected Melbourne airport for pick up. They had no car for us as the booking was for Melbourne in Florida US and we were in Melbourne Australia

The rental application process with Kayak was easy and clear.
They didn’t Have a car in the class I had rented. It was smaller a significantly more uncomfortable and unsafe.
Surprised at end of pick-up process by he question, "Are traveling out of state?" This was the first indication that the rental was "Florida only," which did not meet my expected requirements.
