Tesla wasn't even charged fully after we gave them 2 extra hours to have it ready. We missed a once in a lifetime special occasion due to their poor management.

The agent left work early so I was unable to pickup my car when my flight arrived, even though I entered my flight info in Kayak's database. I had to rent a car from another provider.

Waited over an hour for a reserved, pre paid rental. They did not have the size vehicle I wanted or reserved. Car smelled like cigarettes. The one employee had terrible customer service. No one was there when I dropped the car off. I called the number left on the desk. There was no answer and no voicemail.

Enterprise is one of the best. Someone still walks you to your car, checks for damage before you leave and makes sure you are good. Someone still greets you when you drop off your car. Other rental agencies just hand you keys at the counter and good luck…

Seemingly everything that could’ve gone wrong happened too. I was given a completely different car that was awful on gas, told the car was full with gas but it was at 3/4 tank (of a 24 gallon tank). The car wreaked of air freshener, no washer fluid so couldn’t see through the windshield the whole drive. Got blackmailed about a cleaning fee when dropping off. The person checked out the car in the first place was the only positive experience. Will not be renting from Budget again.

The car smelled like weed whenever it was humid or had been sitting overnight. The carpet was sticking out and had clearly been pulled up on the passenger side and there were stains on the seat. Other than that the car was fine and the staff were very friendly

At airport, no shuttle to off site rental car place. Called 1-800 # customer service to have them get a hold of somebody at offsite Alamo for a shuttle. Customer service agent did call the offsite place and said nobody was answering left a message with my contact # for them to get a hold of me and I still, to this day, Never received a call. It’s been 4 days.

The manager when we picked up the vehicle was extremely helpful. He personally got our vehicle, warmed it up as it was 16 degrees and loaded our luggage for us. He really went above to assist us.

Alamo needs to correct their automated answering messages as they do not direct customers correctly. Was not able to get to a real person, messages sent you in a circle and then disconnects.

I incurred 6.18 in tolls and now they tell me that there are admin fees, which were mentioned in the rental agreement, Now I am billed for over 100 dollars in admin fee. As courtesy to the renter, this should of been made more clear. This is unfair business and have rented so many times and NEVER have there been any problem with tolls. I completed dispute the admin fees. Buyer beware

I picked up my rental car in the morning while driving it a service engine light came on. I then had to drive back to the airport in peak travel time to exchange. I was not happy! It needed an oil change. This is not the first time this has happened to me with this rental company! The employees were very nice however it was extremely inconvenient for me!

The gas tank was only 3/4 full upon pick-up... However, the rule is to return it with a full tank, so that's about a $15 'surcharge'.

Like: Quick counter service; nice car. Dislike: (1) Car interior had heavy, unpleasant smoke smell. (2) Parking area attendant in departure area was missing for about 15 minutes when I and 2 other parties needed him for questions before we could leave (I could not get car in gear). So I was 15 min late to depart. Attendant was very helpful when he appeared. Maybe he had urgent conflict.
