Cheap Car Rentals in Canyon Sands/ Seven Lakes Country Club, Palm Springs

The Budget/Avis staff were rude and unaccommodating. I will not be renting cars from them in future travels.

Inconvenient 2+ hour wait line upon arrival.

Waited in line for over an hour. 20 ppl in front of me and probably 75 behind me. Gave up and booked Avis for the same money and the next counter over. Walked away with my keys while my spot in line was still 10 ppl from the front. Tried to cancel the reservation twice phone rang out the first time and was hung up on the second time. Last time I ever book budget

It should clearly state that the office is outside the Palm Springs Airport.

Location was not open at 3pm when I arrived. I had to pay for Uber multiple times instead, causing unexpected cost.

The value of the deal was good. Gas mileage was good. The attendant “Jay” was accommodating and helpful…..That’s pretty much where it ended. The location was in no man’s land, and no shuttle service from or to the airport. The vehicle, a Toyota Carolla, was worn out and NOISY. I don’t know if it was from the tires or what, but I could hardly hear the radio, and when on the highway, and conversation was difficult. My wife’s Toyota Tacoma with off road tires rides like a limo compared to our rental. The vehicle is tired and needs attention. Oh, and the “engine maintenance needed soon” light kept coming on. The bottom line is that it got us from point A to point B without breaking down and it was tolerable.

Pick up at PSP was a disaster. Long lines / wait for our vehicle. 1 hour +

A large amount of unreasonable and undeclared surcharges. Would never rent again with Thrifty.

Everything was perfect. This time.

Picked it up at last minute since we'd rented Budget and there was what looked like a multi hour wait in the queue to pick up our Budget rental. Enterprise, in contrast, was fast and efficient.

Confirmed a car for a 12pm pick-up without a car available until 4pm.

Need to know to take cab to off-site location. Rate reflects the savings of airport rental. Return and shuttle back to airport very timely.
