Good service. No wait times.

many people would probably be happy with my experience, but not so much for me. I was upgraded from a sedan to our SUV at no charge. Did not know that’s what I was getting. Just not my personal preference, plus it cost two or three times as much for gasoline. Other than that, great experience

I didn't like the toyota at all, You had to fall into the front seats and could not adjust them. Very unconfortable. We needed to get from Pittsburgh up to Sharon ( appx 60 minutes) that the seats were horrible. Dash said car needed service and to contact dealer, which we advised the check out guy, but said it was no big deal. The car was clean and smelled fresh.

I booked a rental with FREE CANCELLATION. I specifically needed an out because of my schedule and somewhere in the last steps of the booking the rental it was mysteriously removed and I was unable to cancel for free when my plans changed. I called every department and no one could give this loyal customer a refund. It was a scammy trick and I will never use this platform again.

Dollar billed for fuel when vehicle was dropped off completely full. Vehicle was completely filled with fuel three minutes before drop off. Drop off attendant verified verbally tank was full and said everything was good, and he would email receipt. The emailed receipt had unexpected fuel charges when there was no possible way that anymore fuel could have been put in the fuel tank. It took approx. 3 hours of phone calls and website searching to have the billing department reverse the fuel charges. It appears this is a standard business practice with Dollar and is very unprofessional and deceptive.

The Enterprise staff at Pittsburgh Airport was rude and took almost 45 minutes to get a car. They blamed broken tablets; but other customers were able to get their car quicker. Most of the workers stood huddled near the car exit, and not helping customers. The car given to me was dirty, and obviously had not been cleaned. They also did not give me the car I prepaid for, although it was on the lot. Instead they tried to give me a downgrade without acknowledging the lower rate.

When we arrived on Saturday night, they had no cars left. What good is a reservation if there are no cars when we get there? We had to waste time going back to the airport to get a car the next morning instead of seeing family. Very aggravating.

What could of been better, the lady at the counter had a really bad attitude. I started to feel like she was racist, and was picking at me because I’m Black. I watched a caucasian couple next to me rent their vehicle with no problems. I feel like the lady that helped me need more training in diversity, and a attitude adjustment.

Booked a luxury car and they tried to give me a truck. When I asked for a the vehicle I booked, they refused to give it to me. They said to call Priceline and sort it out. I asked for a lower end car instead of luxury since I needed a car and they said that it would cost more. I called Priceline and they told me to work it out with budget or cancel the reservation. Not a good experience.

Had a reservation for a car to pickup at the airport after arriving on my flight. Gave my flight info on the reservation. My flight arrived early by about 15 minutes, unfortunately for me, the Budget desk agent went home before before that. I called the Budget 800 number and was told that they were unable to help me, however they would hold my reservation for 24 hours. They were not willing to pay for a hotel room so that I could come back in the morning to get it however. NEVER RENT FROM BUDGET, UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET STUCK WITHOUT A CAR!!!!

My afternoon reservation was confirmed until close. When I arrived, busy office was down to 2 cars. So I'm thankful I was told correctly. It would help everyone to have 2 employees on desk on Friday and Saturday. ******* My drop off.... Car had flat .had to be towed. That was 7/25. I received "reminder" automatic call 7/29 to "RETURN THE CAR ! "... Nothing had been communicated. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK YET....As they cannot "close the rental out" until back at branch ......They are responsible to pick it up!!

The agents in Pittsburgh and Burlington were all very helpful, nice, and efficient. However the car that they rented me had previously been rented by a chain smoker and then recently been bombed with "cherry flavored new car smell". The smell was absolutely putrid. Unfortunately I didn't realize the magnitude until I was too far down the road to turn back, at the beginning of a 20 hour drive up to Quebec and then back to Vermont. I spent 20 hours with a jacket and a hood on to stay warm, and all the windows of the car rolled down. It was miserable. My clothes all reeked of cigarettes and cherry perfume, and the smell eventually started to make my eyes and throat hurt - even with the windows down. Every second that I spent in that Avis rental car was dreadful, and I will do my best to never rent from Avis again.

The FOB wasn't working and couldnt lock the car the entire time and it wouldn't start either. The emergency roadside assistance lady had a very thick accent and couldn't understand a word of what she said but she told me to hold the FOB near the ignition which worked but the car kept chiming and showing a message "The FOB has left the vehicle". Extermely annoying. Being a weekend, all Avis non-airport locations were closed.

Was upgraded to a great car, an Audi Q3 SUV. Made the long drive from Pittsburgh to Boston pretty comfortable. Thanks for that.

There was no ticket agent at the National counter at 6AM. Had to go out to the garage to find someone.

Checking in at the counter was super easy - drivers license, a question about fueling the car and another about insurance and we were done at the counter! No pressure to ourchas ethe insurance. Easy access to the car out of one of the airport doors. Had a couple of minivans to choose from. Returning the car was even easier, pull in, let them check the mileage and the fuel level, and receipt in hand. They had luggage carts for us to use at no charge. Highly recommend!
