First of all my sister had rented the car and I was the driver unable to pick up vehicle and Tony was no help and very rude. 2nd the next rear tire kept going low and we had to stop frequently to our air in the tire. We called a lost the tire issue and was told we needed to take it to Firestone and have the tire fixed or have them change the spare. There was no sense in Alamo sending someone out for just a tire. Well if that tire had blown out you would of been doing more than just a tire. I don’t feel it’s my job to fix the tire on a rental care but then again pick was terrible so why would I think custom service would be any better. Do not rent from Alamo ever

The staff at the Downtown Nashville Enterprise on 8th Street during the Christmas ‘22 Elliott Blizzard aftermath and the Southwest Airlines debacle, got me into a rental car so I could drive over 750 miles home. It was a challenge as they had few cars that morning but they worked hard at it and made it happen. They were pleasant and diligent and caring. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Website allowed out of towners, who were stranded due to personal car issues to book a same day reservation for in town pick up with out of town drop off and once at the pick up location was told can’t do same day one ways. If it’s policy the website should know that to! Never using this company again, but I’m sure they don’t care considering they’re already rich. Disrespectfully a customer you’ll never get rich off. This caused use a lot of stress and inconvenience!!! Never referring this rental company to anyone.

I rented the car in the midst of the bomb cyclone and subsequent Southwest Airlines meltdown during the Christmas holidays which led to tens of thousands of passengers to seek alternative transportation. This led to rapid turnover of cars. The first car I was assigned had a nearly flat tire, so I had to stand in a long line to replace it. The car wash system was inoperable, so the car did not get cleaned. The car wash issue was weather related. Otherwise, it was a fun car to drive from Nashville, Tennessee to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was a Toyota hybrid, which saved on gas. My experience overall was good, considering that it came in the middle of a weather disaster, which led to a host of related problems. I was just grateful to have a car, and I will definitely rent from them again should I need to rent a car in the future. Budget staff performed admirably well during an unprecedented crisis.

Staff at the counter were friendly fast and nice. Car was not so clean and the windshield wipers were torn and worn out which I did not know because it was not raining when I rented the car. The next day while driving in rain for 5 hours it was a problem. Cleaning and maintenance is a problem. Counter staff amazing.

Pick up was easy. Dollar, Hertz and one other vendor were co-located and each was able to assist with the other's customers. Therefore, my wait was minimal. My only issue was trying to figure out what I needed to do to return before they opened at the airport. As it turned out the informaiton was on the envelope and on signs at the airport. Still, I didn't realize that at the time so I tried to call without success. It turned out to be no problem, just left the keys in the car.

The pickup location is very obscure at the Nashville airport. You have to go to the counter inside the airport unlike all the other rental companies. It was very hard to find. Payless is grouped with Avis but you can not check in at the Avis counter with the other rentals. There are no signs for Payless. We found it after waiting in line for a while only to be told we have to go back inside the airport. Then the person at the counter was very rude and did not seem to want to be there. When we returned the car at the Atlanta airport, we were confused as well because we did not fully realize that Payless would be grouped with Avis everywhere.

The pickup was a pain. There were no signs telling me where to find the Payless counter. The car shakes at highway speeds (I assume wheel balancing is needed) and 2 of the tires were at 22 PSI, SO I had to put air in them once I got it
