Pros: The car operated well.

Cons: There was no one at the counter when I went to pick up the car - I called National. They charged me for an extra day when the car was late and didn’t even mention it at checkout. Also, there was a shot of whiskey left in the driver’s compartment - not something o should be finding in the car.

Great car, great service

Pros: Our car was brand new - literally. It had three miles on it. Ms. D, the attendant at the car pick up area was super helpful. She was very friendly and showed us all of the features of our car before we left the lot.

Never again!

Pros: Select vehicle on the lot

Cons: When you book with kayak, National considers you a second-class citizen. They want you to buy their $28-a-day insurance. (Warning about loss of use fees.) They say the Alliance insurance bought through kayak is insufficient. They charge $15 a day to allow your spouse to drive. They upsell, upsell, upsell: class of car, insurance, etc. etc. I won't rent with them again, either directly or through a third-party website. Use Budget!

Really Good Rental & Office Help - What More Can You Ask For?

Pros: #1 Office was close by. We live in the NE Heights and most of the rental car offices were at the airport on the other side of town. So having a rental car place so close by was really good. #2 The agent who helped us - Rita - and her mgr. - Chelsea - were nice, friendly and knowledgeable which is always a really good thing too.

Cons: Only complaint was the car we got - a nice, expensive recent model Jaguar - was a little snug and we felt a little cramped but everything else about it (the ride, air conditioning, radio, gas mileage) was great and we definitely saw why customers would request that car. We thought we were getting a Nissan Altima and would've been happy with that but lucking out and getting a Jaguar for a day was also nice and really good.

Car was fine. But Off Airport Location was a drag

Pros: Car

Cons: Car was not available at the airport. We had to take a $30 cab ride plus tip to get the prepaid car at a distant in-town Hertz location. We had to wait for a car to be prepped, when cars had been available at the airport.

hertz manager trainee bailed me out

Pros: I searched for a car at Albuquerque International Airport and did not notice that your best offer was at a site in town. When I showed up at the airport, the nice manager found me a car and allowed me to pick up and return at the airport with only a minimal extra charge

Cons: The fact that an off-airport site came up in my search of your offerings.

Make sure pick up location is correct

Pros: Hertz was great, helpful and professional.

Cons: It isn't always apparent where the pick up and drop off location is located just by viewing the Kayak rental information onscreen. I flew into the airport but found out that my rental location was at another (in town) site. After a taxi ride to the location and paying the drop fee to return the car to the airport, suddenly my cheap car rental wasn't such a great deal after all.. The Hertz attendant said that this was not uncommon for Kayak customers.

Did not get the rental because the office was clos

Cons: My assumption was that the Enterprise office was at the airport. This was wrong. My plane arrived at 7PM. This rental was placed at a downtown office that closed at 6PM. I had to rent from the Enterprise at the airport. They didn't have an intermediate car so I paid $184 instead of the $107 quoted. Kayak did not share everything I needed to know. Disappointing.

One way rental gets worst car on the lot?

Pros: The drop off experience was very good, with very friendly/understanding attendants.

Cons: I don't know for sure, but it seems like more than a coincidence that a very damaged car was provided to the renter (me) who would drive it far away (one way rental). Worse was that they made no effort to detail the numerous damages to the car. I'm accustomed to having to check out a car, including going over damages. This pickup points expects you to drive away. I had to find someone and make them document the damaged trunk (like someone pried it open with a crow bar) and dislodged bumper; and many small dings. Furthermore, there was dirt inside. I was charged 2.5 times their local rate and was given their worst car, with service that bordered on deceptive. Thrifty, who is one in the same as Dollar at ABO, is NO LONGER my rental company of choice.

Don't rent from Thrifty at ALB

Cons: We went to pick up the car and they told us that it was be another $78 than the quoted price for instance. We told them it's on our card and our personal auto insurance and that we didn't need it. They told us we had to no matter what. Also my flight was delayed and my friend had the rental confirmation. They were incredibly rude and wouldn't let her pick up the car until I called thrifty and changed the name. Horrible customer service.

Cons: Car had some kind of transmission problem. Sluggish with acceleration problems. Delays in returning car. One guy for a lot of over 50 cars. Also, at checkout our final bill was MUCH higher than printed quote. Some sort of typo caused by clerk at check-in that resulted in an over charge of more than $200 while attempting check-out. This error took 7 days to adjust on our credit card statement.

So far off the mark.........

Pros: Easy return.

Cons: 1. Long line at the rental desk - with just ONE employee working there at the time. 2. They had NO (zero) cars available EXCEPT ONE Nissan Frontier mid-size pick-up truck. (I had reserved a compact car). The two renters in line ahead of me were told they could wait for a car to become available - or go to another car rental desk. 3. I chose to take the pick-up truck as I did not have the luxury of waiting an unknown amount of time for a compact. The rental price was the same as my compact reservation price, but I ended up paying a LOT more for gas.

Pros: Absolutely nothing

Cons: Unbelievably slow, but that was only the beginning. The agent said my (only) card was being declined, twice. Called my bank, Payless had not been declined, hadn't even connected. I stood in line behind one person for a further 45 minutes, and this time the agent said they had a new "system", and it couldn't read my card! He suggested I try another rental company, so I tried, but cost was exorbitant. So after TWO AND A HALF HOURS trying to rent a car, almost all of it spent at the Payless desk, I decided to use a taxi. It was a good decision. They were cheaper than a car would have been, even Payless, prompt and courteous. This is the second time I've tried unsuccessfully to rent a car from Payless at ABQ, and for sure the last.

Feb 22 2016

Pros: decent care for a reasonable price

Cons: at pick-up sales person tried to sell me an upgrade, then added some kind of roadside emergency coverage without my consent ($4.99/day), and misinformed me about local gas prices hoping to entice me to purchase pre-pay gas option. The cost shown on my original reservation was $205 and the initial contract the agent printed up was $275. I hate this kind of nickel-dime stuff at the desk and he had to redo the contract to remove the roadside emergency coverage that he hadn't mentioned and thought I wouldn't notice which cost me time at the counter. I know employees are trained in these deceptive practices and find it deplorable.

Cons: When I returned the car no one was in the booth. There was a note "I'll be back in 20 minutes". I was unable to wait 20 minutes because I had to catch a plane. It was uncomfortable just putting the keys in the box. I still have not received a receipt for my rental car 2 days later.

Pros: Good car

Cons: Overcharged. I was promised a charge around $240 upon pickup. I had paid $60 for insurance offered by kayak. The clerk tried signing me up for the insurance Payless offers, amounting to a total of over 500 dollars. Had i not been alert, i would have signed up for both policies. I was also overcharged on my credit card; Payless estimated the overall cost for the week would be around 240 dollars, though a charge of 319 dollars has appeared on my statement.

Deceptive pricing. Renter Beware.

Pros: Rental car was clean, roomy and got good gas mileage. Comfortable and handled well in snowy conditions. GPS worked very well even in remote areas of northern New Mexico.

Cons: Slow leak in left rear tire required continual filling. At pickup I was informed that I could not use my Bank of America debit card. This meant that my traveling companion needed to use her card which added approximately $200 more for the rental (extra driver and other charges). I was quoted $230 online but ended up paying around $560. At pick up the woman at the counter said I could sign up for a top-up refill at $1.98 a gallon which I did. At return, I was charged for an entire tank of gas at $1.98, not a top-up. I will not use Dollar Car Rental again.

Don't be scammed

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I made the reservation for four days and just used the default drop off pick up times of noon. I've never had a problem with any rental car company in the past picking up a car as much as a day early. I arrived 1 1/2 hours early and was told that if I picked up the car even ONE MINUTE before noon that my contract would be invalidated and a new one generated. So I asked what the "new" price would be. Instead of the $90.00 rate on my contract the new rate was quoted as $150.00. So I asked what would happen if I picked up the car one minute after noon and received a shrug. I started to walk away and the lady called me back and said maybe she could "do better." So I let her run another quote and she came up with a total of $110.00, still over the original rate, but my daughter was waiting for me at the terminal so I took it. The car initially looked fairly clean, but as soon as sunlight hit the windows, they were so smeared I could barely see out of them so I had to stop at the first gas station to clean them. Also I was told if I chose the "bring it back full" option I had to save the receipt to prove I had filled up within 10 miles of the airport. I did this and when I tried to give it to the lady who checked me in, she said she didn't need it. All in all extremely poor experience with Dollar and I will never rent with them again.

great 9.8/10

Pros: Early drop off (4am) worked seamlessly.

Cons: The kayak price was the price I ended up paying, but the woman at the counter increased the price by about $20. She said there were extra taxes not included in the final-tax-kayak price, and she was wrong ultimately in terms of what I was billed after the car was returned, but it's never fun to deal with those hard-to-avoid car rental indignities.

I will never rent from Dollar again.
