Cheap Car Rentals in Grand Rapids

Last-minute rental gave us a free vehicle upgrade to a beautiful Chevy Malibu--very comfortable and great highway mileage for an unexpected 600-mile drive. Final bill was a bit less than the original expected cost and drop-off/check-out was efficient and hassle-free. Attendant even spotted my credit card in the cup holder and came running to give it to me! Overall, an excellent rental experience!

We had a very good experience getting our car from Dollar in Grand Rapids.

The staff were very helpful, and the process was easy and straightforward. I had a great car that was perfect for my needs.

Everything was done right. Marily was great

I set my pick up time for 6pm on Kayak which was confirmed. I was on a layover in Denver when Enterprise called me and said that they would be unable to create my agreement if I were to arrive at 6pm as their system shuts down at 6 sharp. My flight landed at 5:50 and I would have been there at 6:05. They absolutely refused to do anything to help and I ended up having to cancel. There were literally 0 cars available at any of the rental agencies at the airport or Uhaul. I ended up having to rent a Home Depot van for my trip as it was the ONLY option besides a Tesla for $985 per day on Turo. This was a terrible experience and I will not be using Kayak to book anything in the future as you are clearly out of touch with your suppliers.

It was all good!

Rental experience was very good. Car was nice but you could tell it had been smoked in.

When I arrived at the airport with my reservation I had to wait over 45 minutes for a vehicle, I was given a huge SUV with 60,000 miles on it with expired license plates and several things wrong with it, the engine light was on, change oil soon, navigation system not working and did I mention it had over 60,000 miles and the windows were filthy dirty. I had to return the car after 48 hours which meant I had to drive over 100 miles. I was told I wouldn’t be charged for the gas for my inconvenience and then it was on my bill, all in all a pretty bad experience other than the people behind the counter at GRR trying to be as helpful as possible.

It was a bit expensive and was not clean when I picked it up. The windshield had smudge marks that were hard to see through. There glue from stickers on both the front and back glass. Otherwise it was a fine Camry easy to operate and turned on a dime. Due to on line difficulties it was not easy to reserve and was held at a location a few miles off the airport. This was corrected by the personnel promptly and may account for why it was not as clean as it should have been.

Do not travel until this Covid mess is over. Hertz had 0 cars on the lot.

very clean vehicle. Branden was vey helpful.

Service at the counter was great, but hours of service didn't match service. I arrived at 12am, no one was there. So I have to take a lift to my hotel, and a lift in the morning back to the airport to pick up my rental. When I share this info with the person at the counter, she say...next time give us your number and name and someone will be here waiting for you. Good to know, that info should be communicated to the customer before hand. So the customer doesn't go through much trouble.

The Avis people were all courteous and helpful. The type of car we reserved was unavailable so they gave us a choice of three for which upgraded vehicle we wanted. Thec return was also smooth and quick.

The car was very clean, but I had a couple issues with it: 1. The headlights seemed to be really poorly aligned. I could barely see anything at night unless I turned the high beams on, and that's pretty annoying/potentially dangerous. 2. I was driving on a wet highway in the winter. The road had a lot of salt on it, and it was constantly being kicked up onto the windshield. The wiper fluid that Avis uses must be really cheap, because it froze up in the lines and wouldn't spray onto the windshield. I had to constantly pull off to wipe the windshield manually so that I could safely see while driving. Dangerous! Also, I was in a position to return the car early, but I wanted to know if it would cost more to do so (due to having had a discount for renting over a longer period initially). I called Avis for info about this twice, and both times I got turned away. They said that they could only show me the price *after* accepting the car back. These people do this every day; surely they should have an idea of whether or not it'd be more expensive. In the end, while the car was clean and relatively cheap, my overall experience with my rental wasn't a good one. Based on this experience, I'd be hesitant to return to this Avis/Budget location.
