I landed and the rental car counter was closed at 11pm. I can't say for certain, but I believe I booked it for 11:30pm. Regardless, my flight arrived at 12am. I tried to find someone to help me and when I did find an Alamo person she said she couldn't help me. I then had to get an uber to the hotel and uber back in the morning. It was a pain and I will not be booking travel through Kayak anymore. I am a business traveler and rent with Hertz 95% of the time. This experience solidified my commitment to Hertz.

Unfortunately the pricing was incorrect from when I booked on Kayak to when I went to pay in person. Kayak quoted me $187 and unfortunately did not include the young renter fee or taxes, making the total really out to be $282. I was unimpressed and the employee at the location also did not confirm pick up or drop off times with me.

My flight was canceled, so I canceled my car reservation. I got a cancellation number, but I did not receive the email it said I would receive. I wasn’t too worried; maybe it went to spam. But, they still charged me for the rental. So, who knows what that cancellation number was.

The vehicle was great! Location is housed with 5 other rentals, picking up took over an hour. We were told we got a rental with a full tank of gas but it was only at 1/4 full. They did give us credit for it though.
3.9 MediocreJul 23 2021
First assigned car wouldn't start, second car smelled like it had been smoked in (clean otherwise). Also, I had to extend my trip by 5 hours and they charged another full day. When I had to drop it off later than expected (flight delay) they charged me a late fee even though it was well within the 24 hour period they had previously charged me for. Add to that all the hidden fees, taxes, etc I should have just used Uber during my trip. It would have been way cheaper.
1.9 HorribleJul 23 2021
The confirmed vehicle was not supplied but the charge for a lower class was not reduced. The car was rented with a plugged right front tire that lost air. The emergency road service was a total failure without a satisfactory conclusion. It was necessary to have the tire fixed privately in order to continue our trip which was to be able to attend my sister's funeral and subsequent burial in a different city. I will not be using Budget in the future.

I was charged twice for the rental. Once when I booked the rental through CarRentals.com, I paid $301.08 and was told I had to pay a remaining $86.01 at pickup. When I picked up the vehicle, I was charged a full $387.99.
2.0 MediocreJan 9 2021
Nothing. There was absolutely nothing I liked about this company or my experience.I booked this rental one week ahead of the day I needed it. I called ahead to be sure that I had every document that I needed and the method of payment would be accepted. I was told that I would be able to use my bank card and it could be run as credit (because it has the master card logo on it); just bring my social security card with me as a second form of identification. I have five credit cards in my name and making enough of a payment on one of them to be able to use it for the rental was well within means. However, I didn't think I needed to do that because I was told that I could use my bank card. I showed up to get my rental on the day I was supposed to. I was to leave town the next day at 5 a.m. I was told that, no, I could not use that card and, since I didn't pay my credit card bill enough to cover the cost of the rental, I had no car to use and no one could do anything for me at all. To be clear, I did not have a flight. I was renting the car local to use to go out of town for three days. I did mention this to the person that I called because I have never rented from near an airport before. They told me on the phone that everything would be absolutely fine. I asked twice, are you sure? I was told yes both times. Since it was noon and I needed the car the next day at 5 a.m., it was impossible for me to go to a different company to find a rental. Everyone needs a 24 hour notice. On top of all of it, I drove 35 minutes one way (this took about an hour and fifteen minutes out of my day) and the lady I spoke with when I went to pick up the car was extremely rude. I could not be more disappointed. Very, very bad communication and very, very bad service.

Quick drop offThe salesman asked if I wanted to upgrade to a Charger for $18 extra a day so I said no. Then he’s looking over my shoulder as he’s filling out my paperwork and says wow they’re really fixing you up today and I turn around to see a very nice Cadillac sedan pull up. So I was like- for real? Is this an upgrade for free for some reason? He then stated no- just an option. This was very deceptive in my opinion. He was nice but I felt disrespected as though he thought I was stupid. I work for high end businesses in the financial district in San Francisco. I know a bad salesman when I see them. He was nice but pretty sly.

I had a reservation and I was told multiple times that they have an after hours person to take care of late flights or delayed flights for an hour an a half after they closed which I was also told multiple times that they closed at 10pm. They had taken my flight information and said they would be tracking it.They gave me the direct number to that location and I started calling at 7:30pm to contact them directly, I made over 65 calls, it always went to voice mail which said it was full and if I stayed on the line it would hang up. My flight was delayed and I ran to the rent car desk and arrived at 11:15pm still with in the 1-1/2 hour window, and was told by another rent car company that they had left between 9-9:30pm. that they never stay late. All other companies were out of cars so I had to Uber to my 1hour destination at $95.00. I called the toll free number they said I could pick it up in the morning. So I would have to spend the night at the airport. WHAT SERVICE IS THIS!!!!!!
2.0 MediocreDec 13 2021
The agent told us our licenses (both my partner's and mine) could not be verified, and therefore, they could not rent a car to us. We both have un-expired Massachusetts licenses, with no misdemeanors or felonies, and have not had any issues renting cars recently. When we tried to ask for more information, or provide details like our recent address change, they said there was nothing they could do. I believe this was an issue with Payless's systems, as again, we both have up to date, valid licenses. I will not be renting with Payless again given a choice.

I rented through Dollar, and everything on the website was fine. However, once I got to the pick up location, my card got declined. I moved some money around and went to try again, and the woman working said I couldn’t use the same card because it had already gotten declined. It would have been nice for her to tell me that before I put all of my money into that card. My father ended up paying for it because I didn’t know what else to do. Then when I got back to drop off the car, there were no instructional signs. I went inside and stood in line for 30 minutes for the lady to give me a blank stare and tell me the man already checked in my car and I should have gotten an email. I still got the hard copy of the receipt in case anything else happened. Overall, it was a pretty rough experience.

Dollar closed their lot. -----Couldn't find it. Finally discovered they moved into the Hertz building with Thrifty several blocks away -- found it by just guessing! No sign, no phone number, nothing at the closed lot. That wasn't convenient. Waited and waited in line. When finally got to the check-out person, she was nice, HOWEVER, the price we were quoted on Priceline was NOT the actual price. We received a "pay now bill" of $63 for "fees," "service charge" and other miscellaneous costs that were never mentioned when we reserved the car. We pre-paid the whole amount and thought we were set. WRONG. Will not be going to Dollar or Priceline again. Did not like the SURPRISE bill once we were at the counter to pick up the car.

Car with prior damage and service rep refused to iThe car had significant damage (Red car with dents and yellow paint transfer) when picked up. Advised service rep and asked her to view damage. She told me to fill out a form and said she wasn't going to view the damage. I was the only person at the lot picking up a car and the vehicle was maybe 50 feet from the door. Asked if damage had been previously reported. She didn't know? Gave her the form and took numerous photos. Also noticed while I had car that the left side doors didn't close properly, like the car had been in an accident. Not viewing the damage is unacceptable!

Desk was closed when arrived despite putting arrival time on order, so they sold a rental despite being closed at the arrival time. Called to customer service, when finally figured out how to talk to human, they said I would have to return the next day. Obviously that wasn't an option, so I rented on site from Enterprise. I'm still trying to get a refund, getting to a human to talk to is difficult to do, put a dispute in via credit card company.
