They didn’t have the vehicle I reserved. After 3 phone calls and 4 hours, a vehicle was found 2 hours away. No apologies, no credit given…nothing. The vehicle was nice, clean, and exceeded expectations. Bringing the vehicle back was easy and didn’t take too much time.

I’ve been online and did ExpressCheck in. When I arrived, I had to wait in line, which was fine, except that there was no privacy for discussions about money, and the person in front of me are very upsetting experience. I did finally reached the counter and ported that I had already checked in through Xpress and paid, the staff person told me that I had not paid that I had simply entered the information. He then charged me. I now have two charges on my credit card of two fees from two separate agreements. I also see that the receipt I got was for one price, $77 I don’t my credit card I still see the deposit charge of $200. All toll I have a charge of over $500 for a car that was supposed to cost me $77 for 24 hour period. I fully expect to get the deposits back because the car was in good shape and the attendant at the New Orleans airport and drop off, the nicest person in the whole process, told me everything was fine. So yes got a good experience.

Staff were unfriendly and unhelpful at both locations for my one-way rental. At the pickup, they had overbooked, and I had to wait over an hour for a car to come in (some people with reservations were turned away). I was also told I had to buy their insurance to take the car, and had to work very hard to get that charge removed.

The Budget online system directed us to a location that had zero cars. We had to go with all of our luggage to second location. Our order confirmed by credit card was for a convertible Mustang or similar. The second location doesn't have any convertible cars at all. Because of Budget we wasted 3 hours. They offered us only one uncomfortable car, which was not even washed. I expect a refund. I paid for something completely different, plus Budget caused a long delay in my journey, which impacted the day.

For the drop off at thr airport, no one was at the counter from 8:30 - 9:00am. I had to leave the key in the lock box with a note. The car had a smoke smell and made my clothes smelled weird. It was muddy on the outside and when picking up the car there was no one to talk to about the condition of the car. I had to get on my way, so I left.

The employee came out covered in sweat, gunk all over his shirt, pants falling off. He wasnt the most pleasant person to deal with and asked me for a copy of my insurance. NEVER in all my history of renting cars have I ever experienced this. I travel for work 2.5 weeks out of every month getting rental cars all over the global and have never had this. I don't have a copy of my declaration page on hand with me so I was forced to pay an extra $31 a DAY. Unbelievable but I had no choice since I needed the car asap

Car was not ready at pickup , we had no option but to take a car that was in my opinion not comparable to a ford edge. But as avis was closing in the next hour we were forced to take a car less than expected. The car had several issues. One of the tires half-flattened daily and all tires were worn out, hardly any profile. Also issues with the door locks. First time in my life a very bad experience with Avis. Tried to change the car but for these kind of issues Avis cannot be reached.

Teka was very friendly and helpful. This car rental company is off-site from the rental center to provide lower rates, so the facilities are sparse. The car was great and clean and it was an excellent experience.

We had difficulty reaching the main number but were finally picked-up at the bus stop at the car rental center. The vehicle was great except for the dirty inside of the windshield.

Pickup was great, Nick was very friendly and helpful. This is a budget operation, so the facilities are sparse. The car was great and clean, except for the inside of the windshield.

The drop-off was on a Sunday, and handled by someone who was not an actual employee of the company. It was NOT a good experience!

Just a heads up. This rental company IS NOT LOCATED AT THE CAR RENTA CENTER. You have to take one shuttle from the airport to the car the car rental center and the call them for them to come pick you up there to take you to their place. I specifically chose companies at the terminal to avoid this, but still got this as a choice only to be surprised once I got to the rental center that it was not there

It was very easy to schedule the reservation online. The price was unbeatable. The staff was very friendly and pickup was smooth.

We had cancelled a reservation from Hertz when we reserved the Thrifty rental because of a $170 price difference. Since the companies are affiliated somehow, the agent could see both rentals, even though one was cancelled. Rather than trying to investigate more using confirmation numbers, she just picked one and told us we would need to call the hotline to make sure it was the right one. The hotline was also not very helpful, so we just prayed it was the right one and we wouldn't be out a a couple hundred dollars. It is still unclear what exactly the cost will be, as there are still charges pending on our credit card.

The staff was very nice and professional. Getting to the location was a bit confusing as they were across the street from where all the other airport rentals were. The car was incredibly dirty and had cosmetic damage at pick-up (despite it being only 2 years old). Had issues with tire pressure on the second day of the rental and I had to refill one of the tires. The windshield wipers desperately needed replacing as well. Very good fuel economy though!

You should know this site is not at the rental car site near the airport where the other rental car companies are located. There is a shuttle that picks you up from the airport and takes you to that common rental car area. You then have to take a second (NOLA Rental Car) shuttle to their location. Pick up after that was easy, car was clean. HOWEVER, when it came to drop off (ours was at 4am to catch our 5:30 flight)), there was no shuttle back to the airport shuttle, like they told us. The place was locked up, and we waited in the dark at 4am for someone to show up. Ended up having to take an Uber back to the airport, losing valuable time. Will not rent from them again.

Price was good but not worth all the extra time it took to follow their extensive -- and confusing -- directions to get to the car rental location, involving several van rides, and then do the drop-off. Also, holding my breath that they got the car since we dropped it off at 6 pm at the airport on a Sunday after they had closed earlier that day -- which I hadn't realized. Our instructions, delivered by text, were to park the car at the long-term parking lot and leave the doors unlocked with the parking ticket and keys in the glove compartment! And take photos to show where the car was parked and text them to them.

Awful, awful company. NEVER, EVER RENT FROM ACE OR NIFTY. The reservation said unlimited miles. After I took a cab to their scary rental location on Poydras, I was informed that unless you have a round trip airline ticket to and from New Orleans, you only get 125 miles and then you are charged per mile. IT DID NOT SAY THIS IN THE RENTAL ADVERTISEMENT. Do not try to save a few dollars by using this cut rate, awful company and stick with the national rental companies.
