31 May 2018
Pros: Hey, you get what you pay for. It was the cheapest of the offers when we booked last minute, so I was just happy to have a car. And the entire staff was WONDERFUL. All very nice and helpful. Yet victims of the corporate monster that seems to run this company.
Cons: Oh where to begin. I was first given a dirty car with a scratched windshield with the window washer fluid warning light on. When this was pointed out, the car was washed, yet the windshield still had this caked on gunk - and the warning light still on. After asking for another car, we were offered a behemoth of an SUV/Jeep box KIA thing - no thanks! Finally, we were given a decent car that STUNK of either marijuana or cigarettes. AND we were told that if we smoked in the car, we'd be fined. We don't smoke. Thankfully the car did what it needed to do and served us well. We also pre-paid for a half-tank of gas and when we returned the car, we were then charged for not refilling (and we hadn't even used the half-tank!), so we had to go back downstairs to get a refund because the half-tank wasn't showing up on the car hikers invoice even though I had it printed on my receipt. Did I mention that everyone that worked there was nice?

Cons: We booked for the wrong airport, our mistake of course. Went to Fox at LAX and the woman could not have been more rude, really made us feel stupid for the mistake then told us there was nothing she could do. We went about 20 feet to the left to PAYLESS and the gentleman there was wonderful.

26 Jul. 2016
Pros: Price for the week Car drop off
Cons: Car was not totally clean, as I have experience with other rentals. At the airport pick up level the Fox representative had most of the paperwork pre- filled out. Including the car pre inspection report. The report was inaccurately filled out and had missed multiple areas of previous damage. The agent did not appear to be happy that I had questioned her report, but did mark the other areas that I pointed out to her. During the week I located the damage report from the person who had rented this car just prior to me. On their damage report the area that I had questioned and wanted noted was marked. I felt that this was an attempt to take advantage of the next person renting this car, if they would have just accepted the damage report as is. I also have noticed that other rentals that I have been contracted with did not have the mileage that this car had. Over 38,000 miles

Excellent value for money!
Pros: Drove a brand new Hyundai Elantra with only 700+ miles. Vehicle had great gas mileage and made my long distance camping drive a breeze. Given the last minute booking, the price was good and the rental process from start to finish was seamless.
Cons: No complaints here.

Pros: The young man at the Alamo desk at Bob Hope was very kind, gracious and professional. I have bipolar disorder and was very rude to him. I didn't intend to be mean, but I was and I still feel horrible about the way I acted. The car we got was a free upgrade. The Nissan was wonderful. And in perfect condition.

Good service, poor car.
Pros: Car was new, clean and pick up and drop off was seamless. No pressure to purchase additional products.
Cons: The car was a brand new Jeep compass, but it felt like a car from the 90's. There was no USB, Bluetooth was impossible to set up (needed some pin number by calling a separate service), etc. For a car built in 2016, this was a disappointment. I think Alamo should reconsider before using cars with the bare minimum in 2016. I would avoid renting an SUV class next time and just go with a full size or standard size.

Pros: Easy breezy. Used automated machine. Valet had the pick-up truck waiting for me.
Cons: I had to catch an uber at a designated lot across the campus of the airport and they charged that uber 3 dollars which was added to my fate for them picking me up In the designated lot. I will never pick-up and drop off a vehicle from Burbank airport again because of this.

Cons: I rang ahead to check with Payless that they would accept my debit card as opposed to a credit card and they assured me they would. However when I turned up to collect my rental car they said they could not accept my debit card. I was left to find another company that would and had to pay a much higher rental rate for the convenience.

Uncharges
Pros: Close to my hotels
Cons: From the beginning, employees were relentless to uncharge. My internet price was $140, and I was quoted $158 upon arrival. My credit card was swiped before I saw the paperwork. Upon delivery of car at location different than rental, I had to present ORIGINAL paperwork, or be charged "damage" fees. Very nasty all around. Will not be using this rental company again.....very dissatisfied.!!!

Pros: We spent a long weekend in San Francisco. With proper configuration we were able to get four adult, three children, two full-size car seat and a booster into the Ford Explorer

The people helping me were great it was very easy
Pros: This was very easy and the car was perfect for what I needed
Cons: Know it can't be changed but the location of Enterprise at Bob Hope airport was very very far from the main doors of the airport. Since this location was sooo far, a shuttle to the airport would have been very nice. I had knee replacement last December and it wad a long difficult walk to get to the import after I dropped off the car. I might consider another option next time because of this. A shuttle would have made the difference

Who thought a 15 passenger van could drive so well
Pros: For a giant van, this thing was incredible. Hauled 10 people and tons of luggage few hours from Burbank to rural town in California for a wedding through winding, inclined roads. Handled great.

After leaving the airport and arriving at my destination, I discovered the dashboard was coated with dust and there was quite a bit of dog or cat hair in the rear of the vehicle. Upon returning it, the agent apologized and indicated he would not charge me for the alleged hourly overage I'd incurred.

Car wasn't thoroughly checked through
Cons: Few things: 1. Rear view mirror was removed and was placed in the back of the car. I lost 45 mins of my day trip looking for the missing mirror and eventually drove over to the Avis desk to help reinstall it back to the center of the window. 2. There was some weird paste-like substance on the little side compartment on the drivers door. Gross.

Was given the wrong type of vehicle
Pros: Everyone I dealt with was pleasant and helped me rather quickly. Easy to check the car out.
Cons: I was expecting a car, but ended up getting a CX5, which is more van than car. Wasn't too pleased with that, seeing as I paid for a Standard-sized vehicle. My complaint is that I wanted a vehicle with a trunk because I had valuables I wanted to conceal. I didn't want people to see the laptops I was taking around in big Lenovo boxes, and I had no abilities to take them into the hotels with me. The CX5, even with the ample storage space, there was no chance to hide anything, even with different seat configurations, everything was extremely visible. Also, I am a tall person and the seat didn't go back far enough to be comfortable in my hundreds of miles of commuting.

Low price but far away
Pros: The price was the lowest of all the car rental agencies .
Cons: It is a long walk from baggage claim to pick up the car. And there was no drop off area for Thrifty at Burbank. You drop off the car the same place you picked it up.

Never again.
Pros: The car.
Cons: Overcharged. Misquoted. When I called to ask about why I was charged more & explained that I was quoted $30 less, the representative did absolutely nothing to help or be kind. He was worthless.

Thrifty Ripped me off

Great except for Lost and Found Process
Pros: Quick process and great customer service (Logan was great). Lost and found was quick to respond.
Cons: This was my mistake but it would have been nice if the attendant looked through the car more thoroughly with me as I left an item in the car. With that said, I had to go through 3 transfers to get an update on my lost item (which turned out to be a robot) via phone call. There should definitely be a more direct number to the Burbank, CA (Bob Hope Airport) location.

Bad service with wrong car
Pros: Return process was easy
Cons: Reserved an immediate size car, but was given a compact car, yet charged for a midsize car! Apparently they ran out of cars and gave me first available. Did not inform me of this until I complained when I returned the car. Compact car was not fit for highway driving with no power. When picking up car, the guy helping was rude! Overall bad experience.

Top tips for hiring a car in Burbank

  • No trip to Burbank would be complete without renting a car. There simply is no better way to see the sights in Burbank and Los Angeles than in the comfort of your own vehicle. Say you want to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for instance. You could take public transport and spend 50 minutes hopping on and off buses and the metro, or you could drive and be there in 30 minutes from Central Burbank.
  • Excited to begin your trip in Burbank? If step one of your trip is to pick up your hire car and your flight lands at Hollywood Burbank Airport, then you can find the hire car desks at the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center just outside and across the parking lot from the airport.
  • Pedestrians jaywalking is very common in Burbank so drivers should keep their eyes open at all times for any potential street-crossers. It is also important to note that drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in California, and you actually risk being ticketed if you don’t yield to a pedestrian crossing the street.
  • Burbank as a part of Los Angeles experiences its fair share of rush hour traffic. In general, drivers can expect rush hour to start as early as 6:00 a.m. and to last until 10:00 a.m. during the week. In the afternoon the traffic starts up again at around 3:00 p.m. and begins to wind down by around 7:00 p.m. I-405 is often one of the worst hit roads during rush hour, as it goes by Burbank, and should be avoided if possible during peak hours of traffic.
  • Book your car hire in Burbank at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
