Alisa, Dec 2020

Pros:

I liked that I ultimately was given a much better vehicle than they originally wanted to rent to me. That made up for the experience and made the drive more comfortable and enjoyable.

Cons:

Confusing check-in process on-site--pick up location was inside a parking garage that had lots of construction happening and, thus, was not the easiest to navigate when arriving in another (personal) vehicle. Also, I rented from Alamo and wen to stand at that Kiosk but the service agent snipped at me when I didn't understand that she was telling me to come wait in her Enterprise line. These are miniscule to the fact that they tried to give me an SUV that looked like it had been in an accident - it had a noticeable misalignment on the front bumper but, what 'takes the cake' is that, inside the vehicle, the entire interior ceiling was detaching from the vehicle/frame, including the electrical column on the ceiling that had exposed wiring for the overhead lights and such. The SUV also looked visibly dated. It was so bizarre. The clerk was going to rent me the vehicle having noted the misalignment but I am so glad I pointed out the stuff she missed on the inside because no one should be driving that SUV! After this point, her demeanor changed and not only was she nicer but she got me out of there quick. So, the SUV I ended up getting was much nicer but, as they were originally just backing this one into a stall from the 'returns' area, the replacement SUV was very clearly just returned and had not been cleaned, sanitized (these are COVID-19 times), or thoroughly checked, once the rental was in my hands my S.O. and I pulled over to the side, cleaned and sanitized the entire thing (can't be too careful nowadays). Anyway, it pays to pay attention and look the car over yourself both with the agent there as well as before you drive away.

Staff at Alamo pick up location were amazing and the customer service for extending the rental by one day was superb. Could not have had a better, smoother experience.

Cons:

Didn’t have my car ready for pick-up, and I pre-paid for gas and Alamo still charged me as if I didn’t. Still dealing with them over this. Also, 1 congress st in Boston is EXTREMELY hard to pick-up from and drop-off. Added at least an additional 15 min on both pick-up and drop-off d/t construction in the parking garage. Definitely was not a smooth process and I was over an hour late bc of the above issues. Will not be using them again

Pros:

PIckup was easy - staff was very helpful

Cons:

When I dropped off my car the office was unexpectedly closed for the weekend. I called customer support to determine the process for dropoff - they told me to leave the car and drop the keys in the dropbox. But then I was billed for an extra day - even though I returned the car before the 4:00 p.m. time it was due. I had to call customer support to get the additional charges credited. So that process could have been smoother.

The receptionist was friendly. Good experience. The only enhancement would be an explanation of where to return the car ( a sign would be helpful as the return area is inside a fence area).

I rented through Costco. When I went to pick up my car, the service person said I was on the "do not rent to" list. I believe it had to do with a claim I filed last year that was resolved (or so I thought). The service person gave me a number to call and I got a voice mail twice which wasn't helpful - they never did call me back. The service person then made a few calls and finally agreed to rent to my husband. The service person was very helpful. It would have been nice to have known about this situation before showing up at the Budget counter.

Car reeked of smoke. Was the wrong pick up and drop off location. The Avis rep at Logan airport even admitted that they were over sold and could fill out all orders for vehicles. We were stuck with a car that smelt strongly of smoke the whole trip and we wasted extra time going to another location and having to document the smoke smell before leaving as the rental location had no ide

Cons:

After waiting in line at the Avis counter at the BOS airport, the Avis associate indicated that my pick up location was the location downtown not the airport. I had indicated on my Kayak search that I wanted BOS airport but I suppose I didn't look at the details to see that it was the location on Atlantic Ave. Not a huge deal but did have to get an Uber (or could have ridden the blue line) to get to the downtown location. Upon picking up the car on the 7th floor of the parking garage there was 1 woman working who we had to yell out for because nobody seemed to be around. She came from behind another vehicle and was on a personal phone call and had to tell the person on the phone that she'd "call you back because I have a customer". Not a huge deal I suppose but not the greatest of customer service that the person on the counter downstairs should have called up to the 7th floor to indicate we were coming. The car on the other hand smelled like marijuana inside. Not completely reeking of it but definitely could tell someone had smoked in it somewhat recently. I indicated this to the woman upstairs who said that she would note it and credit my account however nothing has come through indicating any credit. We were in a hurry because of the location mix up so didn't have time to potentially swap cars and the woman did not offer that up any way.
