When calling to ask if I can leave my car there when I pick up the rental nobody could give me a straight answer even after multiple calls. On the day of when I called I was told I couldn't. I could've been better prepared if I was told ahead of time. Really unprofessional

I was able to get a car same day

Just about everything. First car had rock damage to the windshield and I was asked to sign off on the existing damage to the car prior to inspecting. The entire facility is trashy and dirty. The worst part is the EZpass charge. Because of the EZpass charge alone, I will not rent from advantage again

We showed up and even though they saw our reservation, they screamed at us that our rental car reservation was not being honored because we made it after midnight on a certain day. We said we’d made it the previous day. They said “oh…” and whispered to each other because they clearly didn’t know their own policy. Then when I asked if that meant our reservation would be honored, they started screaming at us again that we were not getting a car and we had to go elsewhere. We were still charged a no-show fee. Literally never again. I would rather crawl to my destination. This was a disgusting experience.

Car had bad rear tire and was noisy and vibrated the whole 525 miles. US port dis not work, so no music. Crappy car... not the car size I requested, so spent too much extra on gasoline also.

All professional. Courteous staff. Waiting in a long line to be attended to, but maybe due to their prices being considerably lower than other car rental companies. Worth the wait!

Dear Kayak Thank you for asking for my review. I arrived in good time to pick up my car but was deeply shocked that Dollar expected me to join a very long, densely populated, slow moving line with no hope of picking up my car on time. That was the good news. This story gets worse: conditions in which Dollar was operating at pickup time, violated laws, transgressed regulations and ignored guidelines, Had I joined Dollar's line, I would have stood a better chance of catching Covid, than picking up my car anywhere close to on time. The entire building contained a solid mass of car seeking humanity, that spilled into the inadequate walkways. The air conditioning was overwhelmed. The overcrowding made communication with the understandably engrossed Dollar staff difficult. The building is of a type generally known as pre-fabricated and "temporary." Dollars method of pickup operation is seemingly permanent according to witnesses, regulars and observers in the area, Common sense dictated that I decline to run Dollar's gauntlet.

I am not at all satisfied with the rental experience on your site! I found the experience unprofessional. First of all, the car was very small, not even two carry-on bags in the trunk. It said on the website that the car could be that choice or an equivalent model, but ours was clearly an inferior model. Why is it not possible to choose the model? It is important because there is a risk of theft if you leave the car parked with the suitcases in the back seat. Secondly, at the time of pick up I found myself still having to pay a lot of money for: - insurance (which I had already paid with Allianz suggested by your site. At the time of pick up they told me that it was not enough and they recommended another one) - add a second driver (it was not specified on the site that only one person could drive). I had decided to rent a car because it was a cheaper option, but If I had known I would have travelled by plane. I would have preferred to have the final price when I booked on your site!!!!

My agreement was for $405.53, my receipt said $405.53 but my credit card was charged 605.53. This is unacceptable, what is that extra $200? There is no accounting for it in the receipt, I didn't check my credit card charge prior to checking out but instead used my printed receipt to check the charge. The charge hasn't officially cleared yet but I am concerned that this was a bait and switch by Avis.

Overall customer service. The entire staff just didn’t care. The attendant who pulled up the car was on her phone cackling obnoxiously in the middle of my transaction. The man who did the walk-around didn’t offer to help with baggage or go over any features, benefits of the vehicle. overall, poor

Drop off was super easy

Called a month ahead of trip and asked if debit cards are accepted. Was informed that they would accept a debit card but a higher deposit is required. No problem there, but upon arrival was then told I'd be charged an extra $30 per day on top of the higher deposit for the daily damage waiver insur.

I rented a car in advance and the rental company at the airport closed earlier than their stated closing time and I missed the rental. So I had to rent another car and lost the $200 because it’s non refundable due to 3rd party rental. I will rent directly from the rental company from now on.

Easy to get to, shuttle driver was really nice. Not many people there so easy in and out.

They took a deposit and it was not returned within a week, which is when I am writing this review. Spoke on the phone with them yesterday, was told they would refund money that day, but not done. An unprofessional operation - there was no receipt given at return.

Good on gas. Remember, Jersey has gas station attendants. You do not pump your own gas.

2012 vehicle. Bubble on front right tire. Windshield wiper smacking right pilar. Many nicks and dings over the entire car which, as it turns out, blended in with most vehicles in Jersey... Only after you make to reservation you find out where the rental location is. Take the train to the "hotel pickup". Don't go to the "Rental Car" station. READ THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY!

Got in and got out. Was cheap. Drop-off was simple.

Finding the pick-up location was a huge hassle. It's tucked under a parking garage next to a hotel. Can't see the signage from the street.

the car was very old and was malfunctioning. I could barely drive up-hill as the engine was stalling. I had difficulty passing other cars as I couldn't accelerate due to engine problems, I guess? This car should have not been in service as it wasn't safe for the driver or for the passing traffic. Additionally, Ace charged me $350 on my credit card even though I prepaid for the rental. I never got a receipt for the charge and I'm disputing it with my credit card. Ace office was old and smelly, the employees were smoking cigarettes in the office. Terrible experience for a car rental. I will never use ACE again
