Going through Kayak and price line was horable. Flew into Pitsburg and Hertz said I had to take a cab 40 minutes away to get my car. Spent 2 hours on the phone with Price line and Hertz. Finally Hertz said they would cancle my reservation with no cancelation fee and make me a new reservation at the airport at over twice what my original reaervation was for. Got a refund for the whole amount. Two days later they charged me $200.00 cancelation fee. Never doing business with either company ever again.

We arrived the night before our scheduled rental pick-up and the man at the desk worked with us to pick-up early. We were very grateful for that. We have no complaints or improvements to suggest.

What could of been better, the lady at the counter had a really bad attitude. I started to feel like she was racist, and was picking at me because I’m Black. I watched a caucasian couple next to me rent their vehicle with no problems. I feel like the lady that helped me need more training in diversity, and a attitude adjustment.

The drop off site lied and told us to rush our return to 4:30 even though our reservation was until 5. Threatened us that the gates would close so that we would not be able to return until the next day. Resulted in fuel surcharge and 6 hours of stressful driving. Customer service upon arrival was beyond rude.

Good service. No wait times.

many people would probably be happy with my experience, but not so much for me. I was upgraded from a sedan to our SUV at no charge. Did not know that’s what I was getting. Just not my personal preference, plus it cost two or three times as much for gasoline. Other than that, great experience

I booked a rental with FREE CANCELLATION. I specifically needed an out because of my schedule and somewhere in the last steps of the booking the rental it was mysteriously removed and I was unable to cancel for free when my plans changed. I called every department and no one could give this loyal customer a refund. It was a scammy trick and I will never use this platform again.

Dollar billed for fuel when vehicle was dropped off completely full. Vehicle was completely filled with fuel three minutes before drop off. Drop off attendant verified verbally tank was full and said everything was good, and he would email receipt. The emailed receipt had unexpected fuel charges when there was no possible way that anymore fuel could have been put in the fuel tank. It took approx. 3 hours of phone calls and website searching to have the billing department reverse the fuel charges. It appears this is a standard business practice with Dollar and is very unprofessional and deceptive.

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.

They canceled our six-week two 15 passenger van rental, offered us no options, cost us thousands of dollars and a lot of inconvenience showing no remorse- after 10's of phone calls over three weeks time, at the last moment, they offered us incomparable vehicles (four 7 passenger vans- it was ridiculous, as if we had two extra drivers and could have our extra passengers commute some other way?). Due to high demand and very short notice, Budget helped us some and we had to BUY a van.

Reserved a mustang convertible (or similar). When it came time to pick up the car, my choices were SUV or pickup truck. My opinion, false advertising. Either don't offer what you can't deliver. Or, hold that specific vehicle in reserve, for such reservations. Quite disappointed.

Booked a luxury car and they tried to give me a truck. When I asked for a the vehicle I booked, they refused to give it to me. They said to call Priceline and sort it out. I asked for a lower end car instead of luxury since I needed a car and they said that it would cost more. I called Priceline and they told me to work it out with budget or cancel the reservation. Not a good experience.

Had a reservation for a car to pickup at the airport after arriving on my flight. Gave my flight info on the reservation. My flight arrived early by about 15 minutes, unfortunately for me, the Budget desk agent went home before before that. I called the Budget 800 number and was told that they were unable to help me, however they would hold my reservation for 24 hours. They were not willing to pay for a hotel room so that I could come back in the morning to get it however. NEVER RENT FROM BUDGET, UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET STUCK WITHOUT A CAR!!!!

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!!

Avis rental facility was closed when I arrived, leaving me stranded in downtown Pittsburgh alone with three large heavy suitcases. I had to pay cab fare there and then back to the airport. The Avis at the airport would not honor my reservation which was for $60 dollars approximately and I ended up having to pay $300 for a rental car- plus the $100 worth of cab fare. Absolutely horrible experience, will never rent from them again.

Was upgraded to a great car, an Audi Q3 SUV. Made the long drive from Pittsburgh to Boston pretty comfortable. Thanks for that.

There was no ticket agent at the National counter at 6AM. Had to go out to the garage to find someone.

Checking in at the counter was super easy - drivers license, a question about fueling the car and another about insurance and we were done at the counter! No pressure to ourchas ethe insurance. Easy access to the car out of one of the airport doors. Had a couple of minivans to choose from. Returning the car was even easier, pull in, let them check the mileage and the fuel level, and receipt in hand. They had luggage carts for us to use at no charge. Highly recommend!
