Very disappointed with pickup. Car was not available and I, along with others, we’re waiting in a line waiting for cars to be returned and cleaned before getting our car and leaving the airport. After a seamless and on time flight, it was very frustrating to have to wait for a rental car to become available.

Failed to tell you that you had to take a $20.00 cab ride to pick up your car at an off site location and pay a second time to drop off the car and get to the airport!!! No savings after that.

Even though there was only one person working at the time, he was really quick/efficient and very courteous! When he went outside with the customer before me he made sure to tell me he would be with me very shortly, and he was. The whole process of getting the car was smooth and way easier than I thought it would be (I had never rented a car before)! It was an all-around great experience!

I canceled my car rental because Hertz said they could not guarantee the van that I had rented. I prepaid them in April and they kept $50.00 of mine for canceling. I will never do business with Hertz again.

I had a confirmed reservation priced at $435.20. When I arrived at AVIS, I was told my RESERVED CAR was not available and the only car that was was going to cost me 200 DOLLARS MORE. Given that I was alone, had no way to get another rental, and that time was of the essence because my sister was ADMITTED TO HOSPICE that day and I needed to get there ASAP, I had no choice but to take the car. I’m not sure why I should ever use KAYAK if your your system cannot lock in the price with a RESERVATION. I filled a complaint via your KAYAK customer service and NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. Feeling abused by both KAYAK and AVIS and will NEVER USE YOUR APP and will tell others not to use it as well and will never rent from AVIS again given their utter and complete dishonesty. A completely HORRIBLE experience.

Horrible experience! We were scheduled to pick up our car at 2 on the 8th. Our flight ran about 20 minutes late but when we arrived at the Avis location there was a note on the door that they closed at 2. We called Avis and they told us there was nothing they could do about it. We called the local office the next morning and they told us they did not have any vehicles for us so we just cancelled. Why didn't the office call us on the 8th to let us know they were closing and to make arrangements for us to pick up a vehicle at another location? Definitely will not be using Avis again!

Not much. Car was okay.

Didn't get the car I requested. Received a big gas guzzling SUV instead. Gas tank was only about 3/4 full. Returned the car with a full tank and was expecting some type of credit. Attendant Mike T. laughed and said no, but thanks for filling up the car! Writing letter to AVIS. Not a happy customer.

My car had former damage that lead to a wheel rub when turning. It also smelled like smoke. Neither of which were the fault of the pick up attendant. She didn’t get the car until night before my pick up . When I turned in the car there wasn’t anyone there to talk to and I still haven’t received a final receipt.

Drop off and pick up was super easy. The car was brand new, clean, and had every feature I wanted.

Would love to be able to communicate with customer support over the phone but instead you can only speak with a robot. Good luck getting to speak with anyone if you have questions or issues.

The pickup/drop off location person (Marc) was very nice and did what he could to help but his hands were tied by the company limiting what he was able to do.

The first car we got had mechanical issues and we had to return it 10 minutes after leaving the shop. The second vehicle we got had major mechanical issues. We had to drive 30 minutes back to the shop. The third vehicle we got was a sedan not an SUV which is what we requested when making the reservation. I have lodged a complaint with customer service and have asked for a full credit. We spent a total of 4.5 hours going back and forth trying to get into a safe, working vehicle. We lost an entire day of travel and did not end up with an SUV which was challenging for some of the places we visited. We were not able to go to certain places in the sedan because those locations required four wheel drive to access. Overall it was not a good experience. A car rental company of this caliber should have properly working and safe vehicles for their customers. The individual locations should be able to offer more customer service and better solutions for their clients. Sixt is over-priced for what they claim to offer and I hope that customer service will recognized the failures. The vehicles were unsafe which put us at risk and our vacation plans were significantly altered due to not having four whell drive. Very disappointing.
