Renting a car might end up being cheaper than having your own vehicle if you take frequent road trips. For a larger group than two, however, you will want to reserve a minivan. It is important to think about your itinerary while choosing a rental automobile. If you are looking to tour sections of the nation that are unreachable by plane, train, or automobile, renting a midsize SUV is your best bet.

Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
I wound up paying more than twice the quoted rental price. Avis hides the fact that they charge by the mile in paperwork that no one explains to you, and of course there are several pages of it. This is by far the worst business transaction I have had with any company. DO NOT use Kayak or Avis!8.0 Very good

Cons:
The Rental Counter was closed when I landed, and there was no help, or instructions available. The corporate help was non-existent. I was forwarded to another contact, who said that the booking should not have been allowed in the first place, but that did me no good and 7pm & no transportation.10.0 Wonderful

Feb 2021
Pros:
Staff not friendly and not helpfulCons:
They charged extra driver fee because I prepaid for the car with my credit card but the reservation was in my fiancé’s name. That seems ridiculous that I had to be a driver on the car even though I never sat in the car just because I prepaid for the car through kayak with my card.2.0 Poor

Jul 2019
Pros:
Nothing - never got the rental. Reservation was for 8 am and booked two days in advance. Received a call the night before pick up saying the car wouldn't be available until 3:30 pm. Received another call at 3 pm stating there was still no car and "try again" the next day. Still no car...Cons:
If a car is not available after a reservation has been made, offer a different vehicle at the same price. Not an offer of larger vehicle for a much higher cost.9.6 Wonderful

Jan 2018
Pros:

The car wasn’t ready when we arrived and it took 45+ minutes to get the car after arrival.5.6 Fair
Nov 2015
Pros:
There was no option other than going in a picking up the vehicle. The seats were clean, but we had to stop at a gas station to buy paper towels and window cleaner to clean all the windows, inside and out, because we couldn't see.Cons:
There was a mix up at the time of pick up with the amount we were to be charged. They overcharged our account and then they could not recharge the correct amount within a 24hour period. This cause somewhat more trouble in that another 50 mile round trip was needed to pick up someone (whom needs to be present) with a different bank account/credit card.2 locations in Alexandria
