Personal call when they didn't have exactly the class of car I requested. I told rep what I needed (in terms of room for passengers). He was very knowledgeable about suggesting the best option -- which was a little less expensive than original reservation. Flexible about return time--very convenient after-hours drop box for keys. No surprises.

Issue concerns the rental store not company as a whole. Car given dirty and not preped Returned with more gas in tank than given. Agent didn’t bother to ask why tank wasn’t at full. Just assumed it was my fault. Spent 1 hour on phone to get the charge reversed

Compact SUV

The Kayak website promised that I would get a Compact SUV -- however when I showed up at Budget, the staff said they only saw a reservation for a 'car' and not an 'SUV' and there was no way they could give me an SUV at that rate. They then charged me $35 extra to get an SUV.

Everything was awesome. The drop off was the most annoying part, but still a 9.5 out of 10. Customer services was great and super quick.

Dropoff process was overly complicated, was sent a text to open the app to drop off, but then I had to download the app, create an Avis account, and it didn't link the reservation to my account after manually inputting the reservation info. I would've preferred an outdoors key drop-off and a simple text to let them know I dropped off the car, instead of waiting in line for 5 minutes.

I was refused service because the system didn't recognize my Real ID drivers license as valid. It's good enough to fly but not rent a car?!

I was denied my rental because both of my credit cards “did not have a UV watermark on it”. I have never heard of such a policy, and this was completely unclear to me prior to me booking the rental. I then asked my friend to pay for me because her card had this watermark, but was again denied since the card had to be in my name. So I thought I could book it in her name and add my license too it, but apparently, in order to add my license, they need to add my credit card as well, which, as described above, they apparently couldn’t take. So, I had no choice but to cancel my booking, call the third parter insurance provider to refund my policy plan, and now I am stuck in Madison, unable to return home for a fine print rule I never knew about. Or maybe I just don’t know how car rentals are supposed to work.

I got the bait and switch that rental car companies are notorious for. I rented a medium size 'premium' car and got a Toyota Corolla... a long shot from a premium brand or mid-size car. Secondly, I thought I was renting from the Madison Airport location, but it was actually the service center, about 1/2 mile off the airport. No offer from Avis to fix it, or give me a ride, even in a dirty returned car, to the other site. Luckily the weather was nice and I was not in a hurry, so the walk was enjoyable.
