  •  Bergstrom Airport (AUS) is the nearest airport to land when visiting Bastrop, and it houses several companies for Bastrop car rentals that you can hire to travel around the city and the neighboring areas.

Cons:

The biggest problem was the extremely high price - over $700 to go 800 miles in a day and a half. I understand the reason why - short supply of cars and the upcoming holiday, but still...!

Pros:

Drop off in vegas was easy and staff was kind helpful.

Cons:

Pick up process in Austin was poor. Agent just said follow me. He walked around vehicle and then said i could go. He did not do a vehicle check with me meaning confirming there are no damages. Didnt tell me where keys were and did not ask if i had questions regarding vehicle functions. I had to go get him and ask where keys were. At that point the agent made me feel rushed and as if i was an inconvienence not a customer. I had to fingure out how to use lights, cruise control ect. I had never driven that car before so perhaps the agents should be mindful of that.

Pros:

Stuff was friendly, processing was quick

Cons:

I made a reservation for Mitsubishi Mirage, but they made me take Chevy Spark. The Mirage has standard seating for 5 passengers; the Spark can only carry 4. The Mirage Hatchback has 3.2 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Spark. I am not going to use Enterprise car rental next time.

Pros:

We originally booked a rental with Hertz, and had a nightmare. The vehicle broke down and it took 4 hours for Hertz to come pick up the vehicle and we were told there were no more available. We got online and booked with Alamo, which was more expensive but the transaction was a breeze, and pickup and delivery was fast and simple. The car was extra clean and ran like a dream.

Cons:

I wish we hadn't had to pay twice the rate of the other rental companies.

Pros:

Clean car

Cons:

No chance to review pre-existing damage with employee, I documented a paint chipped area myself, but when I returned the car they said I was lying. Now they want to make an insurance claim against me! Poor customer service, I will avoid Alamo/National from now on unless they admit their mistake.
