4.0 OkayJul 16 2020
Pros: The staff member was very helpful and friendly.Cons: The vehicle was smaller that what we ordered and it reeked of cigarette smoke. My husband had severe allergies and the smoke caused a serious reaction. It took a bottle of Fabreeze and quite a bit of work to rid the smell for the return trip to the airport. My husband was not able to be in the car for the entire week that we had it.
9.6 ExcellentOct 27 2019
Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpful. They even told me the best places to eat in town.Cons: Communication on the website while booking of exactly what insurance coverage, mileage, etc you were allowed or paying for
10.0 ExcellentApr 1 2019
Pros: The staff in Harlingen was amazing! A cold front came in so it was cold and pouring rain and the agent there went and got the car and pulled it right up close to the building so that I would not have to get wet. I was so very grateful for his extra effort!! 10 Stars!!!Cons: Everything was perfect!

8.0 ExcellentFeb 27 2017
IN and OutPros: We had an easy time with pick up and getting out of the parking lot with our car. It only took 10 minutes and we were ready to roll. I was pleased with the car, it only had 2700 miles on at pick up time. The cost was very good for a 4 day weekend.Cons: It took a little bit longer to return the car but it was not bad.
10.0 ExcellentDec 12 2016
Pros: I enjoyed the convenience of the rental pick up and drop off that is located at the airport; in addition, the vehicle was very clean and obviously there has not been a previous renter who smoked in the vehicle. The staff was friendly, professional, and informative.Cons: Nothing not to like.

Why I'll always use AvisPros: GREAT experience with the Avis team in Harlingen, TX: half an hour after I returned the car, they discovered a rather important key on the floor that had fallen from my pocket. They called immediately to notify me and I was able to get back to the rental desk in time to retrieve it and still make my flight.
Can't say enough for the professionalism, courtesy, and diligence of this branch.

Pros: Friendly staff. Got lucky with shuttle back to airport - did not have to wait too long. Good value.Cons: The car was very worn for only having 12,000 miles. Lot's of dings and dents, stained seats, chipped windshield. May I was at Rent-a-Wreck? But it ran fine and no issue with how the car operated.

3.2 MediocreMay 22 2018
Honestly that was the worst car rental experience I've encountered!Pros: I liked the vehicle, Black Mitsubishi Outlander
Drives niceCons: Filthy on inside
Filthy on outside
we actually stopped and had to wash the windows as the vehicle had been wiped with a water cloth that left TONS of streaks everywhere that we couldn't see out
Had garbage / used kleenex inside car / had used rags stuffed in the doors that someone used for cleaning / sand everywhere
The car was 4 miles from airport and they didn't open til 9:00 and we had to be at our plane at 8:30...nearly missed plane
BAD EXPERIENCE...WILL NEVER RENT HERE AGAIN!!
4.8 OkayApr 30 2018
Shady RentalCons: The Budget ad clearly said on-airport vehicle pick-up/drop-off. Not true - the location is 2.2 miles off-airport. And it was not open when I had to be at the airport early in the morning. So I left it in the parking lot, and I still do not have a receipt for my expense report that is due today. The desk staff was brusque and rude, with numerous posted signs informing you of all the ways you will be charged extra: any sand in your car = $250 fee - and that is for an airport serving South Padre Island visitors! If tank is not COMPLETELY full, $7.50 a gallon. Smoking in the car = $250. The signs were just obnoxious, unprofessional and immediately set a bad business tone. I will not re-use the Harlingen, TX Budget office.
10.0 ExcellentApr 17 2018
Great airport service.Pros: I was initially disappointed that the rental car place was not at the airport but the shuttle service was great and prompt. I had to return the car at 4 am and they had a convenient process when it's out of normal hours.Cons: Nafa
8.0 ExcellentMar 10 2018
Cons: It’s not at the airport.
6.0 GoodJan 14 2018
Cons: Car was not washed and dirty when we picked it up. This rental fleet seems to purchase their cars from Payne car sales, a local used car dealer. Still had used car plate on front and a temporary plate on the rear. I was afraid of being pulled over because of it.
8.8 ExcellentDec 30 2017
GreatPros: Pick up was fast and car was clean.

9.6 ExcellentJun 27 2017
Pros: Very comfortable, met our needs. Smooth ride.Cons: We were told it had internet, but rental car agency were not aware internet was locked, it was requesting a password. We were not aware of this until we were on the road. Called car rental agency and they were not aware of this either. Other than that, everything was excellent.
8.0 ExcellentMar 13 2017
Second times a charmPros: Rep was understanding and gave me a different rental when the original was dirty and the tire was missing hub cap.Cons: The original car Toyota carolla was dirty on the inside. As if someone had been eating and left crumbs all over the front. I should've figured when as soon as I saw the car the front driver side tire was missing its hub cap. It was just a black rim.
3.6 MediocreFeb 27 2017
Pros: Nice vehicleCons: I was upgraded but wasn't told about additional charges. Very dissappointed vehicle came out to almost $100.00 a day. That's ridiculous. Very disappointed never going back
8.0 ExcellentFeb 19 2017
Pros: Clean car, just wasn't sure about getting to and from the car lot. Wish they had more customer service to help to your car.Cons: My mom can't walk that far, and we had to walk to the car with our bags. I feel someone should go get the car and bring it to uou. That's what they do at other sirports. Just a little un clear on where to go and how far it is. For me not a big deal, but for my passenger it was a little far to go in the rain.
7.2 GoodFeb 18 2017
Older vehiclePros: Process of getting car was smooth: no wait (it was close to midnight), the lot was not far from the terminal.Cons: The vehicle was a bit older, and had a bit of a funky smell. I also grow weary of the all the "gotchas" connected with renting cars. Pressure to buy special insurance, prepay gas, etc.
