Cons:

Once I arrived at the Enterprise location, I was informed by the parking garage attendant that this location had been closed down for 2 weeks. I received no communication prior to arriving there, and was then unable to rent a car with Enterprise, as they had no cars available in the entire NYC area.

Both pick-up and drop-off were terrible. There were only 2 staff members, we waited in line over an hour to get the car. No clear information on additional pricing was given. Drop off was similarly bad, no indication on were to leave the car, the location was packed and they asked us to leave the car “wherever we could park” then they took forever to do the final check and the person doing it was annoyed by the crazy amount of work he had to do by himself and therefore quite rude.

The lady behind the desk at the pick up location was VERY rude and she intentionally didn’t want to help me with my reservation. When I finally got the car (after so much delay and struggle) the inside was filthy! The inside of the car had not been cleaned.

Wait time was extremely long, the car was not clean when we picked it up. Also the gas tank was not full when they gave me the car. so it caused a whole lot of confusion when dropping of the car

Avis did not honour the prepayment voucher. I had to pay their rate, which was double what I had prepaid, and the value that I paid was applied against the full walk up cost of the rental. I am spending a long time trying to get this rectified. And there was a 30min wait in line before I was served. The car was good, comfortable and clean, and had a full tank. However, the car is factory fitted with SatNav when I tried to use it, it said that this was a subscription service. It was disabled as I did not add it as an extra.

Great location, quick service at pickup and drop off. BEWARE when picking up your car @ Avis - my car, though new, had a lot of scratches- upon dropping off the Stuart tried to charge me for one which was not ticked off (and was disappointed when he learned I had the full insurance and videotaped the car when picked up)

Katherine, Aug 2020

Pros:

The local staff was very accommodating and apologetic.

Cons:

There was a long line to pick up. Everyone got their car an hour late. The location I was dropping off at changed their hours so they were closed when I needed to swap cars. Your telephone customer service had no idea how to handle this.

3.2 Poor

Ellen, July 2020

Pros:

The pickup staff was okay to interact with.

Cons:

The inside of the car was dirty when I received it, very sad in any situation but in a pandemic it could be deadly. I felt so inclined that I needed to pull over, purchase my own disinfectant, and clean the inside of the car. The drop off was also remote, I wasn’t aware of that, and I still haven’t been notified of the total cost of the car.

I never had more terrible experiences in my life. We came to pick up the car waiting for one and a half hour in the employee was rude and nasty so that we are staying here waiting for the Car and New that she doesn’t have any car available.

It was absolutely horrible. I didn't know when I'd be leaving/picking up the car so I made the reservation for earlier in the day. I had to leave later around 630pm so I got to Budget at 545pm only to find out the close at 3pm on Thursdays?!?! Are you kidding me? I tried calling other locations but all were out of rentals. I finally was able to get a car from Enterprise that evening and they were the only reason that I was able to make it out on my trip.

The car I hired was fine until the left front tyre started leaking. I had to fill it with air in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Richmond. When I got to Charlottesville, I took it to the Budget location at the airport. They did swap the car but: 1. The vehicle was of a lower standard than that I had originally booked 2. The staff did not care 3. When I went back to the counter to report damage to the car they had just given me, I was told they don't check for damage so as not to concern myself with any damage. Why I was not given like for like was not explained. There appeared to be lots of Budget vehicles in the lot that were comparable to the one I dropped off, even if a different make. I find this odd for a car rental company to downgrade especially when there is a mechanical issue with the car being swapped. At the very least I should have been upgraded!

The rental location was closed during the rental time and directed customers to go to another location where they had no cars. I waited for 2 hours then went to another rental place and got a different reservation for twice the cost.

Terrible. The kayak automated reply sent me to a different pick up point. The service at the original pick up point was terrible. We had to transfer to another site to get a car. Both sites did not have the car needed and we ended up having to rent a smaller car that couldn’t fit everyone.

Anonymous, May 2021

Pros:

Not an enjoyable experience at all

Cons:

Pickup — staff was both rude and incompetent. When picking up, I asked to change my dropoff date. After huffing about it, the staff person told me the new price... but conveniently forgot to update the reservation because I was later charged an early return fee. So then I obviously had to call to get it reversed — which no one likes wasting their time doing. Why couldn’t this have been simple and seamless, as usual? Only one reason - the staff. Dropoff — again, the staff person was exceptionally rude. She asked me to get in line when I was only literally mentioning that I was dropping off. Not EVERYONE is trying to cut in line all the time! Sometimes we just don’t want to wait for 6 other people to get helped for a 1 second FYI!

Pros:

Nothing - I would not rent from Dollar again.

Cons:

Overall a huge waste of time. Very inefficient business. Long wait. Unfriendly, unhelpful staff (Evelyn @ 22nd Street). Car was not ready - they quickly cleaned it when we arrived. Rear left blinker was not working. Attitude when we asked to change cars given it was raining and would soon be dark out. Customer service was not helpful when we called.

Pros:

I got a Hyundai Veloster which was pretty cool, I didn't expect that in the economy range.

Cons:

A lot of nickel and dimeing going on when picking up the car. I already bought insurance online, but they tried to sell me another insurance? Over $20 to use the E-ZPass? $10/gal for gas seems absurd, I refuelled myself.
