When my rental had a bubble in the tire I was first asked if I could fix it, next I was asked to drive 37 miles to change it out, third I was asked to drive 27 miles to a repair shop, and lastly, only after I asked, was a service truck sent to my location.

I didn’t like that the car they gave me hadn’t been fully evaluated by their staff prior to renting it to me. The “ maintenance required / bring vehicle to dealer l light came on the dashboard the day after I Picked up the car

The negatives I have were based on the small size of the car, which I chose and the price which was a little less than other rental agencies. I had never been in a Nissan Sentra and never will be again. Rental car rates are more than double what they were before. I have to accept that, but I don’t have to accept that it represents decent value. Everything else was fine.

Vehicle was ready and was the vehicle we expected and wanted. Vehicle worked well, and we traveled more than 1000 miles with no issue. Downside was long lines for pickup and very limited Alamo locations for return in the Northeast part of the US.

Really wanted and needed a car. The truck was not a real practical option, but no cars available at the time of booking, and quite expensive when we arrived.

Desk staff were friendly & helpful. Online tools for reservation management, both web & app, were pretty much useless. Online customer assistance tools were equally useless. Speaking to an actual customer service human costs $30. Rates were deceptively presented nearly to the point of fraud, and in the end unreasonably high compared to competitors. Provided vehicle was in poor repair, with warped brake rotors and a totally worn out suspension. Would not recommend, will not rent a vehicle through Hertz again.

The comfort issue was just down to the size and styling of the vehicle. The step into this Malibu was tight for my husband. A big guy. We would just ask for a different vehicle the next time; Live and learn.

I paid for a mid sized SUV and instead was given a car no bigger than a sedan. My whole goal in paying TRIPLE the price for an suv was to feel safer while driving in the snow (there was a major snowstorm while I was there). When I complained at the counter, the lady said there was nothing she could do even though there were bigger SUVs available in the lot. Instead, I slid and slipped multiple times and was terrified I’d get into an accident. It was traumatic.

Poorly staffed, huge backup at pickup counter. Apparently they did not have staff to clean returns. After waiting almost an hour we chose to take a "dirty" car just to get out of there. The counter staff was pleasant, felt bad for them having to deal with the situation.

The car wasn’t really dirty but could have been a bit cleaner, especially the inside of the windshield. That said, overall I was happy with my experience with Avis at the Burlington VT airport, the car, and personnel. I’d rent from them again.

The additional fees that I incurred were outrageous. Almost $500 for renting a 4 cylinder non-luxury vehicle. I’m sickened by the price and will never use Avis again after their lack of communication, and uncalled for prices. It was not worth the money.

For older and physically impaired users, better description of the size, leg room, comfort and entry and exits are needed. We may not know the car name and type. To us mid-sized means a roomy sedan not a compact car. Our expectations include an odometer, easy adjustment of the steering wheel and seats. This car was like driving a roller skate. We hit our heads getting in the car, banged our knees on the dashboard and I struggled to get out of the car. Also, personnel need to offer to show the car features and explain them. We didn’t know how to remove the ignition key!

Thrifty seems willing to refund me the insurance if I send them proof of payment.

I had already purchased insurance through carrentals.com and then was billed for it again on the rental. I asked for snowtires and was told they didn't have any. They driving at this time was very treacherous without snow tires.

The staff were all extremely friendly, the shuttle was prompt and the car was exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price.

My only suggestion would be to be more clear on how to reach the business from the airport. I had to go to another business' rental counter to ask so they could call the shuttle for me. The shuttle arrived quickly after that.
