John was very accommodating and the airport was easy to move around. He even went out and got the car for us as my husband is handicapped and we were his last customer.

The wait time at the airport desk to get the car that was already reserved. John needed help that day! He was very nice, but out-manned with the requests for cars at the time. Wish we could have had a van instead of an SUV. Cost was HIGH I thought compared to a van rental for the same number of days in Florida.

Gas mileage was very good for a large SUV

The SUV was not washed. Dog hair all over the rear luggage area. The back of the front passenger seat was dirty with shoe prints from a child and the carpet on the driver side was dirty.

Showed up and they said they had no car for me. 10pm and in the middle of nowhere. Apparently they tried contacting me but Hotwire via Kayak gave them a wrong phone #. I have no idea where they got the wrong phone # as my reservation has my phone and e-mail.

The people on both ends were terrific. Friendly and helpful to the max

With the gas shortage it was a little scary leaving on a four hour trip with a little more than 1/2 a tank of gas. Not the fault of Alamo, it was just the reality for me and Alamo. Happily, by driving 5mph under the speed limit, I was able to save gas and extended the expected range of travel by over 45 miles.

Rent the car but needed to cancel. My son is deployed and they keep changing his return home. I rented a car but due to his change of plans I needed to cancel. I’ve been talking to representative after representative and no one will give me my money back. So the company sucks for assisting military families.

When I arrived at the airport they informed me that since I was 2 hours overdue that they gave my car away. All cars were rented and I was stranded. Pretty much the worst experience I have had with a car rental company. I now need a refund.

I found out that it's much cheaper buying directly from the rental car company instead of paying the extra $150 (give or take) for the third party company.

The pick up and drop off was a breeze but I had asked for a compact car and received a pick up truck. And the inside of the truck was absolutely disgusting, there was trash on the inside, melted chocolate on the door, rugs and seats were very dirty and the windshield wipers were broken which is highly unsafe. I wont be renting from avis/budget again in the future.

The gentleman who assisted me with my pick- up rental was like no other customer service I've ever seen. He answered every question, and was very informative about the whole process. He was very professional,kind, and he helped me every step of the way. I had a lot of issues with my traveling and when I went to pick up my rental, this gentleman truly changed the whole vibe of the trip. I can't thank him enough. I wish all companies had people like him !

I asked for fuel prepay and was told they do not offer that. Seemed like the staff just didn’t want to or didn’t know how to deal with it. Ended up not being able to fill up before drop off and had to pay the $9+ per gallon. Not happy. Otherwise was like any other rental car experience.

Recieved the car on less than quarter if a tank of gas. Was told to just fill it up close. “As long as its close you SHOULD be good.” I was concerned of getting penalized for returning the car with less gas and getting extra fees incurred. Car was minimally cleaned, face mask still in the sunvisor from previous renter and used tissues under the seats with trash in the trunk

They did not have a car for my reservation upon arrival and had no other cars, therefore I had no car that say, making me late for my job.

Staff was professional and easy to work with.

The vehicle smelled like cigarette smoke. It took me a couple of days to get the odor out of the vehicle. I was not given return instructions and had to make the return in a Sunday when Enterprise is closed. There is no one you can speak to for instructions or help. There should be weekend check in information sheets or something on the building/door to assist customers. Not everyone has computer access or knows how to navigate websites to find such information.

Drop off was easy. There was some confusion about driving on a toll road and who owned the vehicle and what I should do. I think that should be simple and clear. The stuff is cheerful if not super knowledgeable.

All the vehicles were very dirty, even the one marked "clean". The vehicle they had chosen for us was only a 12-passenger after we had reserved a 15-passenger, confirmed we needed 15, and made an extra deposit. We had to go kill an hour in town and come back for a pickup which they admittedly only sprayed down with Lysol and did a quick vacuum. It was really gross and I had to clean it myself to feel comfortable putting my kids in it. There were visible smears of some substance on the dash and visors etc. The fuel was not full at pickup. I wanted to see how far off it was and it took $6 to fill it. I returned it completely full and told them, but they were apathetic. That's disappointing. *They did offer me a 10% discount for it not being clean. I appreciated that (I did not ask, they offered). This indicated they were aware the vehicle was sub-standard.
