Liked fuel economy. I think The road noise (tires) in the RAV4 was noticeable. We didn’t get the Camry we’d selected. I’m used to a walk around inspection before driving off, had concerns about that.

We were in a predicament at the Medford, Oregon airport. Our Delta flights were canceled out of Medford, so we needed a car to drive to Sacramento, California to get a flight out of there. Calling direct to the Medford, Oregon airport's rental agencies resulted in being told there were no cars available. But using Kayak resulted in finding a car and being able to secure the rental. Once we arrived to the Budget rental counter, we had care from the friendliest professional agent we could have had. Especially, since our car rented was located at another Budget place a couple miles off airport property. The agent at the Budget counter in the Medford, Oregon airport was able to find us a car at the airport. We thank Budget for the amazing care we received at a time we were under great stress. Thank you, Budget!

Counter staff was great , no one met you at car. I am use to having to confirm that car was ok, With changing time had to write down mileage, how much gas was left and handed to counter staff and walked away

Everything was great except the windshield had pitch spots on it in our viewing area and it was so thick and sticky. Tried cleaning it off multiple times but a razor blade or heavy solvent would have been required and being that we were traveling from out of state, we didn’t have that on us. Other than that, it was great.

It is a nightmare rent a car with BUDGET. They provide a fake rent agreement and I had an accident I have 2 weeks with all this problem they never listen.
7.9 GoodSep 3 2021
Pick up was a bit extended because the budget window was closed and I had to pick up through the Avis window. Overall costs were higher than I wanted, but that appears to be consistent with rental cars everywhere. Drop off went very smooth. My rental had been broken into/broken window the night before drop off. The process went smooth and the individual assisting was very kind. Only drop off complaint was there was no Budget drop off location onsite at the airport, and I had to go through Avis.
8.0 ExcellentJun 26 2021
Staff was friendly and efficient at the pickup location. There was a line, but she kept it moving.Two agents working at pickup would have prevented or shortened the line.
5.6 OkaySep 27 2020
Car was clean and at least they had one for me. The gentleman behind the counter was nice.I picked up my car at the Medford airport. There's no signage indicating you have to go inside to pick up the rental, I just happened to walk inside after driving around the rental vehicle lot. I had booked an economy car (small size) and instead got stuck with a big gas guzzler on a 6-hour drive home. So while the initial rental was cheap, with the cost of gas it ended up being more than if I had just rented somewhere else. I was one person traveling by myself; I didn't want or need a massive SUV instead of a standard sedan and I'm not sure why an airport has so much trouble getting a variety of vehicles.

NothingYou guys could’ve been more reliable Understanding and helpful. You need better communication threw the companies. I had a flat and it took you guys basically two days to get me a new car. You guys charged me twice for insurance then tried to charge me again just to get me my car
Arrived in Medford and Alamo desk was closed but they directed you to National rental desk. National took good care of us and had an excellent rental car ready for us in about 10 minutes. We were very pleased with the service and vehicle that was provided.

nothingI reserved a car, but when I arrived at airport, they told me that though they had cars available, they wouldn't give me one, because they were running low and wanted to give cars to other people who also had reservations.
10.0 ExcellentMay 7 2019
The gal at the desk when we picked up was very friendly, professional and helpful.The Medford car rental parking lot could probably use a little reconfiguring of parking spaces allotted to each company. The first signs we saw didn't even list Alamo so it was a bit of an educated guess to just keep walking until we got to our car.

I was unable to rent your the car due to being from out of town and the color of my skin. I've rented from enterprise in other states and I've never been required to provide so many additional documents. I felt discriminated against from the moment I walked into the door. I will NEVER use Enterprise again. It's sad that it's 2021 and people are still judged by the color of their skin and not their character.

I showed up to get my rental and there was a sign on the door that they unexpectedly had to close due to staffing. They were hoping to open again 9/1/21. I never received my car nor received an alert that they would not be able to fulfill my reservation.

Hertz is off-airport at Medford - only Hertz place I've ever seen not super convenient. Shuttle to pick up car wasn't too bad (although everyone else is onsite) but return location is very poorly marked. Also, they charged a deposit on the car - first time I've ever had that happen with a Hertz car.

When I picked up the car no one was in the office. I rang the bell, but had to wait several minutes before I got any response. Drop off and the shuttle ride to the airport were super smooth

I called and the shuttle came quick.I had a great experience and no recommendations.
It took over an hour after my flight for a car to be available- apparently they needed to be cleaned even though I had this reservations weeks in advance. I liked that they offered an upgrade instead of me having to ask.
10.0 ExcellentOct 7 2019
Everything was well handled. The customer service was friendly and helpful.
This location closes at 2p so if you are planning on renting a car keep that in mind. Also not at the airport with no shuttle. Couldn't even use the reservation we made since it was for 2p and we got in at 230p. This is more Kayak's fault than Avis. First and last time user of Kayak.
3.9 MediocreOct 5 2021
Car was at in town location, not airport. Had to take taxi to get to location as no shuttle. Billing error. Had unlimited mileage on car but charged because used less than 75 miles. Unlimited should be whatever mileage used!

The car was marked as having a full gas tank but had less than 3/8 tank and I had to wait in line a really long time to have someone fix the problem so that the extra charge of $100 could be reversed.

We were caught in a major rainstorm and were 30 minutes past our drop off time. We were charged an extra day.
5.6 OkayNov 23 2019
Nice upgrade to a premium 4WDVehicles were not available. Myself and 6+ others had to wait almost two hours to receive keys. I spent $300 more on a air ticket to arrive early, woke up at 3:30AM for that flight, then had to wait 2 hours to get a pre-booked rental car.... They dropped the price $40, but it was a trainwreck.
10.0 ExcellentSep 16 2019
Pickup and drop off were easy. The vehicle was an upgrade. The price was excellent.The vehicle had a high tech system built into the dashboard to link with my mobile phone. Unfortunately, it was too comp licated to be intuitively obvious. I had to unlink my phone. There were no instructions. They were probably in the glove box, which was locked. The car key wouldn't open it.
6.8 GoodAug 12 2019
PriceThe more fuel efficient car I reserved was unavailable. The upgrade/alternate got much poorer MPG. A phone number not affiliated with me was read back to me at check-in the person behind the counter wouldn’t remove it.
It is highly recommended that visitors of Medford rent a vehicle for the duration of their time in the city. The main reason for this is that there is no other way to get around town. There are some limited bus routes, but their service is often slow and does not cover the entirety of the city. Also, if you plan on enjoying the natural scenery while you are in Medford, having a rental car of your own is certainly the best way to achieve that.

One thing drivers should keep in mind when driving at night on country roads around Medford is that wildlife is very common in the area. In fact, wildlife such as elk and deer are numerous throughout the whole state of Oregon. While this is not an overly serious concern, it never hurts to be a bit cautious when you are driving late at night on dark roads.
Visitors to Medford will be happy to hear that rush hour traffic is not a big deal here. However, there is some degree of congestion during peak hours in the morning, starting at 8:00 a.m. and lasting until 9:00 a.m. Medford’s rush hour congestion pops back up again in the afternoon starting around 4:00 p.m. and then finishes off around 6:00 p.m. Aside from those two periods, though, there is not too much congestion to worry about. Most of the city’s congestion is also limited to Crater Lake Highway, particularly as it nears I-5.

Like any standard city in the U.S., Medford can be comfortably driven in all sizes of vehicles. In fact, trucks and SUVs are quite common even in the densest parts of the downtown area. Parking is also a non-issue, as parking spots in the city are large enough for all vehicles. However, if Medford is just the first stop on a road trip, then a smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicle might be something worth considering.
Speed limits in Medford start out at a low of 20 to 25 mph in residential areas and 30 to 50 mph on urban roads. Outside the city, the speed limit ranges from 55 to 70 mph on rural roads. Interstates, on the other hand, typically post speed limits of 65 to 70 mph.
In downtown Medford, core parking is mostly comprised of on-street parallel parking and metered parking spots. There are a few scattered parking garages and parking lots, but for the most part a combination of streetside parking with private parking at businesses accounts for the majority of parking volume. Parking spots in the garages are generally free for the first hour or two and then charge between $1.00 to $2.00 per hour for additional hours.
