Long Beach Municipal Airport car rental reviews and directory
When a line formed at pickup, another agent jumped in and took care of me. Gave me a choice of vehicles, both of which were newer, in very good shape. Almost no wait. Super easy drop off too.

I purchased insurance for $13/day with Kayak. They said they couldn’t bill me for it. The rate at Hertz was $25/day. I’m disappointed that was a difference of $36!

I didn't like that they didn't have the car I rented or any electric. The trip cost me $50 more because I would have been able to charge the electric very inexpensively at my house. I had to have a gas car. It was nice of them giving me a slightly better car but I didn't like that it didn't have windows I could put down if I wanted.

They did not have a car available in the class I selected. They charged me the upgrade difference for something that I did not have because they did not have cars. She blamed on me arriving early, but I was only 45 minutes early because our flight arrived early.

Car was dirty exterior and interior, I was lied to, and the car smelled like wet dog when the ac was on. Customer service by phone was non existent. Worse experience ever. Never use Budget again!

You rented me a truck they did not have. I needed a truck bed to move a couch. I has to scramble and waste time to get a replacement. I spent more time and money, all because I relied on your reservation. Had I not, I could have easily gotten another truck.
This was by far the best car rental experience I’ve ever had. Everything was handled quickly and efficiently. There was pressure or efforts to upsell. And the return was extremely fast. I will use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone interested.
Alamo charged me an extra $100 after the rental was returned on time according to contract. No explanation.

Pick-up truck
The customer service was great the whole team At the LGB Airport location went above and beyond to make sure I got the vehicle I reserved. Thank you everyone!
Never had a chance to pick up rental. Upon arrival at the Avis desk I was told the reservation could not be honored. No call, no text and after an $80 UBER to reach the airport for the sole purpose of picking up the car. Needed to do a walk up rental with another company and paid dearly. To make matters worse, the Avis agent told me she couldn’t help with a refund. When I contacted Kayak as the agent instructed, I was referred back to Avis. So now that transaction is in limbo and I’m disappointed and annoyed.
