Arrived at the Denver Airport Avis facility at approximately 12:45 am on Saturday October 18, 2025. The line of 50 customers was wrapped around the waiting area (think Disney ride line). Avis had 1 (one) agent on duty. A second Avis representative came out and addressed the crowd of customers by stating “We don’t have any cars but we can rent each of you a 15 passenger van. You can come back tomorrow and try to exchange it if we have any cars by then.” The customers became irate. Many left but many, including me, stayed because there were no other viable options at that time of the day. 2 hrs later I was issued a vehicle. I received an email from someone claiming to be an Avis representative at that facility the night before my rental period was scheduled to end. They asked for photos of the key fob and vehicle information since they didn’t know what vehicle I had been issued. I called the Avis national call center because I suspected that the email was a phishing attempt. The representative recommended that I not respond to the email and that the branch could contact me by phone if they had questions. I returned the vehicle at approximately 4:00 am on Monday October 20, 2025. The parking lot Avis representative scanned the vehicle in and told me that I would receive my receipt by email. I phoned the Avis national call center multiple times after I returned the vehicle and finally received the receipt 6 days after I had returned my vehicle. Interestingly enough, I also received a second email from the branch 6 days after I returned my vehicle asking for the same information about my vehicle. This was the single worst rental experience in more than 40 yrs of renting cars.

The pickup line took 45 minutes, which really needs to be addressed. The staff were very nice and helpful, and drop-off took only seconds, so it’s clear the issue is with the pickup process itself. I had already filled out all my information in advance to expedite things, but still ended up waiting in line for 45 minutes. It seems this is a common problem, yet the technology exists to make this process much faster and more efficient.

Waited over 30 minutes for transportation from the airport to the rental office before we decided to take an Uber! Long lines, long wait times, unhelpful agent, poor communication, dirty car (even after a quick rinse they call a car wash), no up-to-date charging port in the vehicle…. Probably one of the worst experiences in recent times.

They rented cars they didn't have. Forced dozens of renters (including me) to wait for 2-3 hours to get checked in and get their cars because they were waiting for returned cars to get cleaned and ready to go. Gave totally lame excuses for the delay. Even FastBreak customers were having to wait in line for cars. It is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE for a car rental company to be completely blind to how many cars they will have at any given time and rent more cars than they have available. I AM NEVER RENTING FROM BUDGET AGAIN!

We had to wait for three hours to pick up our rental vehicle because the line was too long. We had no control over the situation, and they were not sympathetic about it.

Entry agent was agreeable but not overly friendly. We received a different vehicle than I thought we were getting. I had reserved a Ford Econostar 12 person van but ended up with a Kia van with a third row. It did meet our needs and was a very nice car, but you had to climb in through the hatch to get to the third row. Thankfully we only took a few local trips after we reached our destination.

Terrible. After waiting for over an hour past my reservation time I was told that no cars matching my reservation would be available for another and if I wanted to something now I’d have to pay another 25 as day for a pickup. I was late for a meeting and paid it like a real sucker. Don’t think I will do business with Payless again.

I got picked up by the Payless shuttle and then dropped off at the Avis counter. The Avis company had a hard time finding my reservation even tho I told them it was for Payless. They finally found the reservation after looking in the Payless system. I had reserved a 2 door like vehicle but they gave me a 4 door Volvo instead. The car turned on and went on my way, but then realized main control screen that did the radio and air conditioner did not work. I pulled over on the highway and watched a video on how to reset the Volvo display system and then it worked. I just won’t use Payless or Avis again.

Absolutley terrible. Worst car rental experience I have ever had. Did not get the car rental that was reserved and purchased. Waited for over an hour to get a different car than the one was reserved and it was also not fueled up. The pickup location was a total mess and very unorganized, probably over 30 people waiting in a tiny lobby. Will never be going through hertz ever again. Absolutley terrbible experience!!!

When I booked this car rental through Kayak, the listing gave me a set price that included unlimited miles, multiple drivers, and my insurance. After waiting nearly two hours in line at the Thrifty counter in Denver, I was told that the listing was incorrect and that I owed twice as much as I'd already paid -- and that if I wanted multiple drivers, it'd cost me much more. I really don't like being lied to, and both Kayak and Thrifty lied to me and gave me terrible service. I'll never use either company again.

The people at the service counter were friendly and tried to be helpful, however, they could not give me the car I had reserved or the equivalent. After an hour at the counter I had to insist that I get the car I had reserved (or equivalent) at the price I had reserved it. In the end, I had to pay more and did not get a 4 wheel drive. I had to add over 100 miles to my travel to avoid a snowy route.

Rental car level was wrong when we picked up, then they lied about the coverage and he added more than asked for. We went to pick up the car and the lady outside then said we have an electric car, but we had a large SUV. Made me prove it in an email after the guy inside said we had a small SUV. It was a joke from start to finish.
