Oct 2020
Pros:
The drop off was easy and efficientCons:
I was told that they did not have my car I reserved, then they did have it. It had no gas, so I had to wait for it to be filled up. They didn’t say anything about a $200 deposit, and they kept changing the price I paid while I was there.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Wasn’t allowed to rent car because I have a NC drivers licenseCons:
between polices and their needs! Due to The environment that we are in with this Virus I’d 2020 I can not get into the DMV to change my drivers license to VA! But If I were traveling and my car broke down and I need a rental ! This would not happen at this location!?2.0 Poor
Sep 2020
Pros:
So I didn’t get to rent the car because of a rule about the drivers license not being VA! I was told that I could not rent !Cons:
Polices are not standard across brand! And each location is given the power to stretch or blur the line between polices and their needs! Due to The environment that we are in with this Virus I’d 2020 I can not get into the DMV to change my drivers license to VA! But If I were traveling and my car broke down and I need a rental !

Jun 2020
Pros:
I didn’t like anything, we reserved our car for 8am, and 10am we were still waiting for them to bring a car from another location. Not only did we miss our flight from DC they gave us a car that was like $28 more per day and expected me to pay the difference which I couldn’t afford. You guys ruined everything and even made us arrive a day late for our vacation. When you’re on dialysis traveling can be extremely hectic & you guys made it ten times more difficult for a single mother trying to go on a trip.Cons:
Only book the cars that you have, we wasted so much time waiting on a economy sized car only to be hit with a 2 door Camero from another lot that we couldn’t afford. You seriously ruined my 1st solo vacation with my kids, nothing went as planned after we didn’t have a car to get to the airport. I seriously can’t think of any way it could’ve gotten worse. You made me look unreliable to the 2 people that were looking up to me for a good time.10.0 Wonderful
Mar 2020
Cons:
If I were Kayak, I would stop selling Allianz insurance with Enterprise rentals, they don't accept Allainz, so you're basically making people throw money away. I didn't appreciate that very much. In fact, I've been spreading the word.Hertz

Cons:
I rented a intermediate car and they gave me a compact. It didn’t have cruise control and the seat was very uncomfortable. I asked the guy about why I paid for an intermediate size car and got a compact and he lied and told me the car he rented me was intermediate.2.0 Poor

Oct 2018
Cons:
Had to book off airport location as airport didn’t have cars. Uber’d to location and there were 5+ customers without cars- they said that vehicles were overbooked by at least 20 for the day and that they couldn’t do anything about it. The lack of effort to remedy the situation was terrible. Ended up going to a low rate provider that had cars available. Their car was terrible, but they actually had customer service.10.0 Wonderful

nothing negative to say6.8 Okay
Jul 2018
Cons:
I arrived at the Richmond airport, where I requested to pick up and drop off the car, to find out that the pick up location was 25 min away and they would not transfer the reservation. I had to take an Uber to the pick up location to get the car.6.0 Okay
Jun 2018
Pros:
The people working with me were very nice. The car was nice and clean.Cons:
I pre-paid, because the ad said that it would create a quicker pick up. When I got to Hertz, the gentleman was working with another person. He kept leaving the room to ask someone a question. You could hear several people in the next room talking and laughing, but no one came out to help the gentleman. When he finally got to me, he informed me that I would have to go to another location ( about 20 minutes away) to get the car I reserved.(Glad I wasn't dropped off the pick up the car!) The reservation was not transferred, so there was more waiting once I got to the next place. All in all, it took me 2+ hours to pick up the car. I found that rather frustrating, as you can imagine. I was VERY late arriving at my destination.Avis

Cons:
I arrived to pickup my car only to find none were available. The agents onsite were not customer service oriented. DId not offer suggestions or help with finding another rental agency. I did however go to the Avis rental agency at theRichmond Airport and they were very professional and accommodating.4.8 Mediocre
Dec 2019
Cons:
They should adopt automatic picking up keys without standing one hour in line.3.2 Poor
Oct 2018
Cons:
I booked a luxury vehicle; they "didn't have any," and "upgraded" me without asking to a Nissan Pathfinder, which cost me much more in NYC parking garage fees, and much more in gas over my 1,000 mile trip, and was difficult to negotiate on crowded NYC streets. Plus,for the formal event I was attending, I wanted a luxury vehicle, not an SUV. When I explained all of that, the customer service person said "so you don't want a car?" And that was that. Uncaring and very unprofessional.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
I was billed for fuel (twice) while having returned the car with full tank, and had that corrected after a long discussion on the phone and at the drop off. A person receiving the car at your IAD location was extremely rude and inconsiderate. He should not be working for Avis.Budget

Pros:
The staff at the original budget rental we went to had poor customer service and was not friendly. After consulting many other rental car places, I was able to find one that could give us a car but it was not within the budget or the car that we requested.Cons:
Staff friendliness, the car being ready and the correct rental that was requested, and better services all around.9.2 Wonderful

Unprofessional and rude employees who did not value the customer. First and last time with Budget Rental because company appears to devalue customers. Terrible value for the money spent.. Not a good recommendation.6.4 Okay
Aug 2018
Pros:
The roominess, condition, and readiness were great, I just didn’t receive the type of car I requested.Cons:
My only real complaint is that I requested a Toyota Corolla (or similar) with the intention of getting a rental that was not a gas guzzler, since we would be traveling a long distance. Instead we received a Dodge Journey and had to fill up the tank multiple more times than we should have had to in a smaller car that I requested.10.0 Wonderful
