The premium suv I reserved wasn’t so premium. A ton of air sound would come in from the windshield once I hit 45mph as if the weather strip was not properly replaced. The breaks were also very bad the vehicle should have been serviced before being rented out.

Did have a reservation, but seems with the people in front of who did not have reservation received a car of my class. By the time they got to the 2 people who had reservation who were in the same boat as me.. Had to wait an 1/2 hr plus to receive vehicle(s). Seems this part of the system does not work as well for people who have reservations.. Especially when flight # ,airline and time of pickup was already in thier system... Have been in this posistion before, the difference was the car I reserved was waiting for me, while the people without reservations were the ones waiting for their car...

Initially, dollar did not have the vehicle class that I selected. The manager at dollar did not want to go out of her way to please me. She was very rude. She wanted to give me a Kia as a replacement to my Chrysler 300. She stated that it was in the same class of vehicle. The friendly gentleman who was retrieving cars went out of his way to replace my 300 with a Volvo. Other than the manager of the store, everyone else and the service was fantastic

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.

we arrived in Detroit at 10:30 pm to the budget standing spot. No bus ever came to pick us up. My daughter and i and another gentleman stood for 40 min in the cold. We stopped several other rental companies to see if they would please pick us up or call the budget company and they kept telling us one would come eventually finally after 40 minutes I pleaded with a driver to please take us. He was from Avis and took us to the Avis lot. Told us budget was closed and we rented a car from them. Thank you Avis!

When I picked up my vehicle, the agent told me the parking space where my rental was located. However, I did not understand him, and had to return to the rental booth to ask again. It would have been helpful to have the parking space clearly marked on my paperwork. Overall, though, everything went smoothly.

Pick up was a disaster, long wait and much confusion between Avis, Budget and Payless. Car turned out to be an SUV that was backed up to a light post base so the rear door couldn’t be opened to put in luggage. Drop off was also a mess as there was no place to put the car and no directions to bus stop. I was directed into a spot which was partially blocked by a plastic post so I couldn’t get in straight. I also was not expecting to have $250 charged to my card when the rental was PREPAID!
