When I arrived I did not have the cc that I booked the car with due to my bank sending me a new card because of a fraudulent charge. The agent refused to accept another card even though I had proof I was the person that booked the car. She offered no assistance in resolving the issue and told me my only option was to book another car at 4 times the rate I originally booked the car for. I tried to contact someone in customer service but was unable to get an actual person on the phone. In order not to be stranded I booked another car. I finally got someone from Hertz on the phone the next day and was bounced from one person to another. I was finally told that I would get a call back from someone that could help me resolve the issue. That was July 2. Today is July 9 and I have yet to hear from anyone. I do not expect that I ever will. I WILL NEVER RENT A CAR FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

I got a better deal than with other rentacar vendors. Hertz, who used to be a pricey and snooty car rental agency, gave me a better deal than I could get with Dollar, Budget, Thrifty, etc.

The lied me. The agent sold me an upgrade that I didn't want. He didn't tell me anything about the upgrade, he just said that there was an error that would be solved when I return the car. Surprise: there wasn't any error and they regret to return the money because I signed the contract (that wasn't well explained). It's a scam. Don't rent a car here or in avis.

Check the vehicle over before next renter. The tank was not full, the back passenger side tire was under inflated and I have had to add air 3 times since rental, and lastly the vehicle had a Florida tag that expired in June 2022. other wise vehicle is comfortable and runs well. I would use Payless again.

All good except the line at the Oakland Airport is too long. The whole Avis, Budget, Payless section was run by 3 people and there were at least 25 people in line most of the time. I had to wait close to 45 min to get to the counter. Once there, very quick and efficient.

Custumer service in location pick up really need to be change in total, people there look like they don’t know what custumer service is, plus the 45mi to an hour that you have to wait for the pickup, my first time using this company and never I’ll rent a car again from them.

Definitely Custumer service is the worst they have.

The car was great, no complaints. And the lady at the pick up counter went out of her way to make sure everything was right- kudo's to her. My one issue was when I called to ask about shuttles returning to the airport from the Car Rental Center about a mile and a half away. We had an early flight (5:40 am) and I was told the shuttle didn't start until 6:00 am. This didn't seem logical, I couldn't see you doing that to your customers, but he insisted. That means I could drop off the car and put the key in the drop box, but have no way to get to the airport in time for my flight without taking a taxi, Uber, or Lyft??? I suppose I could walk it through Oakland, CA at night, with one of the highest crime rates in the country. I wouldn't look like a target at all to the gang bangers in my cowboy hat and boots, dragging a suitcase, with my wife and daughter trailing behind dragging theirs... I'm sure we'd blend right in. Thankfully, he was wrong- the shuttle did run as logic would dictate. But he had me in panic mode scrambling for options. May I suggest updated training and reference materials. I was ready to blackball Fox Rentals from all my future business and personal travel.

No cumplieron con lo que ofrecieron, un sub estándar y me querían entregar un sub pequeño, para hacer el cambio tuve que pagar más, pero en su publicidad eran claros en decir que el precio que yo estaba pagando esta por un sub grande, luego fui clara en pedir un gps y la persona me dijo que si, tuvimos que regresar tres veces a la oficina, primero porque no correspondía el suyo, segundo porque no tenia gps, y tercero porque no estaba el gos donde nos indicaron, nos demoraron mucho. No nos gusto el servicio ya que no fue lo publicitado.

When we picked up our car, fortunately before we left the lot, we noticed that we had been given a car with an almost flat tire. Alamo quickly put us in another car, but it wasn't until after we left the lot that we realized we were given a car without a full tank of gas. This location doesn't seem to pay attention to details.

We were upgraded automatically. We wanted a car that got good mileage and car got 30 miles to a gallon but it used premium. We were in California so it got expensive.

Miscommunication with the local office and remote information staff. I was told there would be no fee for dropping off the car an hour late but instead I was charged an extra hour plus a day official insurance fee and the excuse was that the 1-800 help line does not always have information reflective of each rental site's policy, which should not be the case! What's the point of getting misguided info?
