I wS TOLD THAT SOSMEONE WOULD SHOW ME THE FIXTURES ON THE CAR THAT I WOULD NEED TO USE, OPEN GAS TANK, TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS, ADJUST THE SEATS, ETC. THE MAN THAT POINTED OUT MY CAR SAID "THERE'S YOUR CAR" AND WALKED AWAY. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FINE

I returned the car with a full tank of gas but I was still charged $63 for gas. I called Alamo and they issued me a refund, which I very much appreciate. But I should not have been charged for the gas. Hopefully this will not happen again.

Not bad. However….car only had a little less than 3/4 of a tank of gas when I picked it up. Since I paid for the fuel option to return the car empty, so really I overpaid since the car wasn’t full when I picked it up.

Put in for the rental under the impression it was going to be as listed, only to be hit with a $300.00 add-on fee (they also did not have the car I rented or something similar). They assured me someone called me to update me about the extra security deposit, but going through my phone records says otherwise. I was never notified or even told before they even attempted to swipe my card had I not looked at the device they were using. Left with no car, was not looking to pay upwards of $400.00 plus dollars for a Ford, when I initially listed a BMW, sorry.

Booked flight into Pittsburg International Airport and booked rental car in conjunction with flight. When I went to Enterprise to pick up car, I was informed that my pick up location was on Babcock Rd which is 30-40 minutes North of airport. I was going to Clarksburg WV which is about 2 hours south. In addition I was informed that location closes at 5:00 and since it was already 4:45 that I’d never make it to location before closing. They changed my location to the airport and increased the contract price from $155 to approx $400 which is completely ridiculous.

The woman at the Harrisburg location used a machine that wouldn’t accept my credit card. I called the credit card company to make sure the prob was not on my end and it wasn’t but she was ready to send me away, not that I would have gotten far without a car… I finally convinced her to try a different machine and of course it worked. I understand that she was stressed and working alone but honestly to think she would turn a customer away is astounding. She did not apologize when we realized finally it was her mistake.

My afternoon reservation was confirmed until close. When I arrived, busy office was down to 2 cars. So I'm thankful I was told correctly. It would help everyone to have 2 employees on desk on Friday and Saturday. ******* My drop off.... Car had flat .had to be towed. That was 7/25. I received "reminder" automatic call 7/29 to "RETURN THE CAR ! "... Nothing had been communicated. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK YET....As they cannot "close the rental out" until back at branch ......They are responsible to pick it up!!

Pickup was straightforward. The car we chose, a Toyota Prius had 35K miles and was a bit banged up. Dropoff was a horror show. I caravanned with my wife, who drove the Prius, and I followed in our own car. She drove into the Budget return lot at PHL airport. She didn't receive any help figuring out where to leave the car or what she had to do in order to check out. Then, to make matters worse, there was no place for me to stop and pick her up. My only option was to park where I was blocking cars attempting to exit the rental lot as well as cars attempting to drive into the returns lot. VERY stressful for both my wife and me.

The shuttle didn’t show for pickup. Waited a half hour (another lady waited an hour), ended up taking an Avis/Budget shuttle and walking from there. The dollar shuttle was sitting by the door with the engine running, but didn’t move while I was there. I was one of two customers and the staff was annoyed to have to put their phones down to help me. They told me to take the car in spot 29, it was the wrong car, the agent at the exit said they had been doing it all day. I will not be using Dollar at PHL ever again.

Was told after a 45 minute hold with customer service that Avis would have my reservation. Got to Avis and was told by the agent and the supervisor that I was the 7th person this week with this issue and that they don’t have access to Payless’ systems and can’t look up my reservation. Wound up paying for another rental with Avis just to get out of there. Won’t be using them ever again

Our check-in process at the facility was very smooth. The car was perfect for our needs and a very good price. The only problem was the shuttle from the airport to the rental car facility took a long time. We watched the shuttles for the other rental car places pass several times before ours arrived.

I waited over 20 minutes for the Hertz shuttle to pickup from the arrivals terminal in Philadelphia. It was raining and cold. All of the other rental companies had shuttle buses that went by at least 5-6 times while we waited for the Hertz bus. I tried to call the Philly airport Hertz location but nobody picked up and it went to voicemail. Eventually, I convinced another rental car bus driver to drop us off near (he said he wasn't allowed to drive on the Hertz lot) the Hertz rental center. So, after waiting almost half an hour in the cold rain, we were dropped off and had to walk the last few hundred yards through a downpour to the rental office. Renting and paying wasn't a big deal but there was no introduction to the Tesla controls (I've never driven one before) so I had to park and come inside to request the person to show me how to operate the wipers. Overall, it was frustrating and a huge waste of time waiting for them after a long travel day.
