An employee, named Stephani C, was especially helpful to me. I had a negative experience with a different rental the day before, and she made it right. Really appreciate her being supportive and providing excellent customer assistance.

Unable to get ahold of alamo or priceline after flight was delayed. Ended up sleeping in the car rental lobby because we missed them by 15 minutes and went with another company that opened earlier the next morning.

Waited in a slow long line to be told I would need to wait an additional 45 min - one hour for the car I’d already paid for unless I wanted to upgrade for an astronomical cost over $400 additional dollars. The car was not fully cleaned and smelled of weed

Very slow at pickup. Took forever to get to the counter. There were lots of people on line who didn't have luggage whom I took to be locals getting a car for the weekend. All the other rental agencies had minimal lines. I then waited a long time in the garage to get the car. At some point I asked one of the desk employees in the garage why I had to wait so long and he told me the car was being cleaned. I went back outside and no one seemed to be doing any cleaning and continued to wait. Finally, another desk employee happened to wander out and notice me. She asked me what car number I had been assigned and then proceeded to grab one off the lot and give it to me (with an apology). I'm not sure why they had several people behind the window in the garage, but no one outside making sure everyone was being taken care of. I had an important event to attend and missed most of it (also because of a delayed flight). Dropoff was quick and easy.

The line at the airport was 20 customers long. The other car rentals had no lines. We waited for a while but we were going to miss the event we were in town for so we had to go to another rental agency. There had been no movement in the Payless rental line.

Absolutely nothing!

Everything! The customer service in person at the counter and trying to call in was terrible! They didn’t have the type of vehicle we reserved or anything similar and was assured we could swap it out at our destination city which was a lie since the only branch was in New Orleans, two hours away from where we were at. I would NEVER use this service again after being hung up on for two hours when trying to correct the issue.

There was no option to modify reservations as I was in need of car seat for infant. Return was inside a hotel where there was no board signs, it took lot of time to figure out. Atleast hertz can put up sign boards visible from Main Street and update info on google!!!

Pick was as easy as it could be made in New Orleans. The shuttle buses ran often. As someone from out of town who does not rent vehicles often, finding the drop off was a little confusing. Signage was great until almost to be very end. I got turned around a bit but was able to find my way. Turning in the care was simple and the shuttle was easy found.

Found old groceries in the van... which is not the vehicle we rented. Stood with my family for 45 minutes waiting for them to find something and they brought out a van and said this or wait. Not sure how it was cleaned when there was a bag of food under the seat. Oh well. Won’t do it again.

The staff at New Orleans was extremely helpful and made the process of picking up the vehicle very easy.

The vehicle was a new large suv that did not have any of the current safety systems and it did not have the XM radio turned on? For that rental price I would have thought that they would have included those items? Maybe next time?

Went to confirmed pickup location...location was closed and no notification at site. Went to another location and was so poorly organized with pickup and return.

Web site should have said original pickup location had been closed.

We had to wait an hour and a half in a parking garage for our rental car

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

The car would not start the very last day. I called avis and was put on an endless hold. The car eventually started and I immediately returned the car. Opon returning, the associate said the computer was down and to just leave the keys with her. I wish the car was as nice as the associate. The car has 37k miles on it and should be taken out of service. This was the worst car I ever rented from Avis.

Drop off super easy. Very nice car.

Vehicle had not been cleaned when I picked it up. Something sticky had been spilled, like a soda, and it was on the passenger door and on parts of the dash, such as the radio and air controls. It was also dirty on the outside.
