Cheap Car Rentals in Baltimore/Washington Airport

a car was ready; the agent saved me a long walk by driving it up to where I waited. The agent was courteous and helpful. The instructions for returning the car were given by another agent. They were clear and easily followed. Altogether, a good experience.

Easy to rental process, friendly personnel,

The registration agent was professional, but not friendly.

Next car may be your next car also. All car companies @BWI are all off site together and require a shuttle, so go with the cheapest for the size you like essentially. ( Except SiXT which had poor service in past).

The car was good, pick up was ok and fairly easy, but drop off was confusing (maybe blame Google maps for taking me the wrong way) and no one in the booth to take back the car, so I had to walk towards check in counter before the assistant from the counter met me half way and took my keys. No receipt received, so only guessing at the “extra” fees incurred.

The space, the beautiful

I went to the counter but didn't finish the booking since the agent required that I produce all of my insurance papers not just my insurance card...which I had. This is the typical proof of insurance. They had some questionable reason for this requirement but it was obvious that it was just a ploy to force me to purchase their expensive insurance. I walked away and didn't finish the booking.

Thrifty had no available cars with a 3 hour wait for people with reservations. It was an awful experience.

Although I had a reservation, Thrifty did not have any cars available when I arrived. In order to make the event I was attending, I had to find another rental car agency and pay double the amount of my Thrifty reservation.

No cars available with a minimum 2 hour rate for reserved cars

Excellent service AT BWI airport

Car reservations made in advance (2 weeks) but car was not available at reserved time and we had to wait for a car to arrive. The wait was not long although it was 2 hours after scheduled pick up time. It would have been appreciated if we received a text notification earlier about the delay. The car rental agent was otherwise excellent.

Very understaffed, only one staff for 10 customers. Very long wait, 30+mins. The staff member was extremely kind and apologized for the wait. Not her fault that Budget at BWI did not appropriately staff their counter.

My reservation was for a Nissan Pathfinder (3 row SUV) or similar. I received an email the morning of my reservation confirming my reservation was up to date. I arrived at BWI car rental building and I was told there would be a 4 hour delay to pick up my car. I was told I couldn't leave the premises as they would be calling out loud my name whenever a car was available. Whenever I went to the desk to ask for an update I would get a terrible look and a "I don't know sir" response. I waited and waited with two hungry 4 year old twins in the waiting room until I was finally approached and told that no 3 row SUV vehicles had been returned and that they couldn't tell me how much longer it would be. I had to accept a chevy equinox (much smaller 2 row SUV) that reeked of cigarette smell and we barely fit for the same price. I feel that the same way that people are penalized / charged for returning the car late, I should receive a refund for being given my car 4 hours later and a car that was lesser than what I paid. Terrible experience overall with very poor communication from staff.

Comfort of the vehicle was great, as were options. The car had obviously been cleaned, but there was residue left over from the cleaning.

The car was not available.

Fast pick up and return. Reserved a mini van for 6 adults. They didn't have a minivan available when we arrived. They tried to put us in a smaller vehicle. Eventually they borrowed a minivan from another rental company.

Good little suv. Luggage space was limited Overall good little car for trip

The van was dirty when picked up. I had to leave the windows open overnight and use fabreeze to get the odor out of the seats. There was a dust buildup all over the steering column and dashboard. Very unusual for a rental.

Pickup was a disaster. They said they had no cars -- why do we make reservations? It took an hour to finally get a car. The attendant pointed at the Tesla we rented and we asked her about charging cables (so we could plug in at a more easily found "level 2" charger, not just use a Supercharger) and she just shrugged. Drop-off was also frustrating because the attendant didn't know if we get recharged for using a Supercharger or just a flat fee, so we left without knowing what the charges were (turns out it's $35 if you return it with less than 70% and also you will be recharged for whatever you ring up at a Supercharger). The car was great, the facility is overtaxed and understaffed.

Unless you're a Gold member expect to wait awhile for your vehicle.

Pickup was an absolute nightmare. 25 people at least waiting for their car rental at Hertz. Initially told 30 minutes… it took over 2 hours. I will never rent from Hertz again.
