The cleaning and odor of the car could have been better. The rest was perfect, great people and service as well as great choice of car, all terrain for a 12hrs roadtrip. Drop off was easy as well as pick up, reserving online saves time!

Nashville pick up was AMAZING!! Excellent and helpful staff. Indy drop off was not good.....no one in the office.......waiting by myself for at least 10 mins as well as phones ringing and no one answering them. Finally someone came in, barely acknowledged me, took my key........and that was it....didn't go look at the car, didn't ask if it was full of gas, where it was parked etc. No paperwork to show I dropped it off before time either.........not good experience in Indy.

They were super busy when I got there and it took quite a while for them to acknowledge and help me. However, the van I rented was full of gas and ready to go. I honestly expected it to be much cleaner inside and out for what I was paying. But once we got on the road the van was perfect. We actually fell in love with the van. I would rent from this Budget again.

Pros:

The employee we had contact with was outgoing, kind and friendly.

Cons:

They didn’t have the car we actually booked (it was being given to another customer as I arrived) so we were switched to something similar. We were up sold on insurance coverage after being told that the Allianz policy offered online didn’t really cover anything. If we wanted to leave on Sunday there were really limited hours (12p-3p, leaving us to rent the car another day to eliminate the hassle/give us the freedom to leave when we wanted). The option to pay with my credit card online didn’t work causing some confusion before picking up the car.

The online reservation process seemed easy, and confirmed I could pick up a car at a downtown Nashville location. But at that location, I was told I'd have to pick up a car at the airport - a time-wasting hassle. There, they couldn't honor my reserved car, requiring a new reservation for ~$50 more. Directions from the airport desk to the pick-up location were confusing. Then, canceling my first reservation was another confusing, time-wasting hassle requiring several calls. Once I finally got to it, the car itself was fine and my drive went smoothly - just a little more tired...

All was good exept the deposit we paid was never released , we can not get our deposit money back as our bank need a letter from Avis to release the deposit back to our account .

Horrible. Rented a van weeks ago. Verified the day before and response was YES! Arrive and no van available. Zero. Nada. And we had a card load of people to transport. Very disappointed. Avis is on our “avoid” list.

The avis location closed at noon and our pick up was at noon. We had to pay for an additional lyft to get to the airport. After talking to avis on the phone we had to change the whole reservation. Why would they schedule a pickup at the time they close?

Pros:

Staff at pickup was excellent. Car (Camry) was even better than we expected.

Cons:

Price was high, but we know that there is a shortage of cars available. Person at check-in didn't visually check out the card or give us a "clean bill of health" until we asked.
