Car Hire at Charlotte Douglas Airport

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Canceled the car because mileages was unlimited now I know not to rent there

Unable to contact

Cons: My flight was canceled and I couldn’t get ahold of anyone to change my reservation. I was charged for a car I was never able to use. My voicemails on their system went unanswered.

Hidden information

Pros: The only reason I booked with them was because of their price.

Cons: But I guess you get what you pay for. When I first booked the car online nowhere did it say of you are in-state you have to have a credit card or that you have limited mileage. How is this fair when if I was from out of town I got unlimited miles and could use a debit card for the 200 deposit??? Getting to the place is where they tell you all of that. Since I dont have a credit card I waisted money on a reservation with them. They wouldn't let me add another driver to the policy since the reservation was done online (yet online...it's not an option to add another driver). I couldn't use someone's else's credit card with the same last name as me (and who was right there with me to give consent for the use of their card) yet at other car rental companies I have done that before in the past. I needed a car and theirs was cheaper so I ended up getting another reservation with them in someone else's name. With this reservation (although it was also done online) I could now all of a sudden and an additional driver to it. They said when we turn the car back in, any occurred charges could be paid for with another card. When we brought the car back, they lied and said they wouldn't charge us for an additional driver however, they did anyways placing that charge on a credit card that no charge should have been made to. I had absolutely no problem paying for the additional driver, however it would have been done with a debit card so don't lie to me about where it's getting charged to not mess up people's credit status.

Mediocre at best

Pros: Car was clean and easy access from airport to rental area.

Cons: I rent d a Toyota RAV4, a mid size SUV. I got a Ford Escape, which was NOT midsize. The car was horrid, the rear squeaked with every bump and it was cramped. NOT what I had signed up for. Very disappointed, as I had specifically NOT chosen the Ford Escape choices online, yet still ended up with one.

First and Last Time Ever Using Advantage

Pros: That I eventually got a car.

Cons: The process of picking up the car in Charlotte was outrageously terrible. Truly, their operations felt like it was their first day...in the 80s. Seriously, how can it take over 30 minutes to pick-up a car for which you provided all the essential information in advance? I booked this for price but it was not worth it.

smelly car w/ ants

Cons: car smelled like BO for the first two days. Had to keep the windows rolled down. There were ants crawling around the console and dash.
