10.0 ExcellentMar 18 2019
Pros: Drop off and pick up were both very quick and easy. The van we rented was brand new and very nice. The whole experience was excellent.
4.4 OkayOct 30 2018
Cons: when i went to pick up my rental, they didn't have it there. I was supposed to pick it up at 12pm, the lady said it'll be a moment while they get it ready. Then 15 minutes later I asked how long and they said the vehicle wasn't there because someone hadn't returned it yet. (this was opportunity #1 to communicate). So I asked they give me a ride home since my ride had already left. They said it would be there between 12-1. At 1pm I called back to see what was up (at this point I was already 1 hour late to depart for a wedding) and they said they had to go pick up the vehicle and it wouldn't be ready until like 3:30pm (again, they hadn't communicated this until I called them). At that point I was really screwed so I just took a different car. Absolutely the worst rental pickup I've ever had and horrible communication.

5.6 OkayFeb 28 2019
Pros: The car was clean and comfortable.Cons: The attendants at pickup were extremely misleading and unhelpful. I ended up getting charged double what they promised me. Also, they filled out a "Customer Survey" on my behalf without me knowing (this showed up in the Customer Check-Out Summary Report). I'm getting my money back.
10.0 ExcellentAug 15 2018

2.0 MediocreJan 5 2018
Cons: I was not given my car. I arrived at 12 and both employees attempted to lock the door on me and said they were clocked out. I went to Enterprise next door and they helped me out.
9.6 ExcellentDec 29 2017
xmas roadtripPros: we rented a minivan and took a roadtrip from san diego to salt lake city for christmas. It was the perfect solution. We had enough room for everyone, nobody got wear and tear on their car and it was a great value.

10.0 ExcellentMay 29 2021
Pros: LA staff at both counter and gate were quick and thorough. Poway staff was wonderful.
9.2 ExcellentDec 3 2019
Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpful, no issues at allCons: Didn't fully understand the built-in fastrak. It would have been helpful if they had just said, 'if you brought your own fastrak, just close the box on the dash/windshield of the built-in fastrak, and then yours will work instead' or something like that.
4.0 OkayJan 31 2019
Cons: Instead of small economy car I had a dirty inside and outside pick-up truck. It was an extremly noisy and uncomfortable ride. I was told it was the only available car. Very dissapointed.
10.0 ExcellentAug 2 2018
Pros: Good customer serviceCons: Parking space was too tight
3.2 MediocreApr 18 2018
bait and switch at San Diego AirportCons: Take care if you think you are getting a deal with Budget and picking up your car at the main Car Rental building at the San Diego Airport. My online deal was waiting for me at a distant pickup location, NOT at the AIRPORT even though that was what I had inputted during my order. With no way to get to the other location, I had to rent a large car at three times the price.
3.6 MediocreApr 16 2018
Cons: The location showed on booking was supposed to be the airport. It actually ended up 30 minutes away and we had to go to National at the last minute to get a different car.

2.0 MediocreMar 22 2021
Pros: There was NOTHING to like, horrible experience with Avis. Avis (Suzanne, the location manager: San Diego, CA Miramar Rd Location, (858) 271-0018) rented out all of their cars and told me they would not be able accommodate my reservation I made and secured with a credit card days before arriving, ultimately leaving my family of four stuck without a car. I then called Avis' main number, talked to Maggie, they were not able to offer assistance to find a replacement car either and basically told me tough luck. To add to the frustration, a day later they charged my credit card a $50 "No Show" fee for not picking up the car I reserved that they didn't have. From talking to others at the hotel it sounds like they do this often. Live and learn for me, no more Avis car rentals.Cons: Obviously Avis should have managed the situation better. (1) have a car for the reservation, (2) make arrangements for when Avis over-rents and fails to provide a car for a reservation, (3) not charge a $50 to a family that didn't get a car in the first place.
4.4 OkayJul 19 2020
Pros: The clerk was awesome. My issue is that my original rate was not honored! I reserved a vehicle for San Diego Airport online at an affordable rate. When we arrived (after a long day of travel) we were told the address for the reservation wasn’t for SAN, but a location nearly an hour away!!Cons: Our quoted rate should be honored and the website should be MUCH clearer on locations. In fact I would appreciate a refund of the difference in the higher price I ended up paying!
10.0 ExcellentJul 31 2019
Pros: The rate was substantially lower than the airport pickup rate so it was worth the Uber ride to Miramar. Although the location was a bit funky, the car was in perfect condition and clean.
6.8 GoodJul 23 2019
Pros: It was quickCons: The agent did not explain any charges or policies. Said it was no problem to pick up a 20 min early but then charged me for an extra day without explanation. The guy got indignant when I questioned it and said it would automatically credit if I turned the car in within 24hrs. Naturally it did not.
4.4 OkayDec 30 2018
Pros: Nonairport location surcharge.Cons: No afterhours return option. The 5/6 pm is too early for office closing time.
10.0 ExcellentAug 14 2018
Pros: The service was excellent
10.0 ExcellentAug 28 2017
Pros: Friendly and easy. They did not try to sell me more insurance than I needed or anything else I didn't want.
10.0 ExcellentAug 17 2017
street signs could be biggerPros: We got through the paperwork smoothly. As expected, the car was great. Practically no upsell compared to other rentals.Cons: It is located inside a strip mall. The signage on the street was small. I almost missed it at pickup. After returning the car, my uber ride also missed the place and had to do a U-turn.
2.0 MediocreJul 30 2017
Just plain badPros: NothingCons: We booked a rental car which was about 30 minutes away from the airport. We took a $75 taxi to Avis and when we were 5 minutes Avid called and said they had "no cars" and they wouldn't have any cars for a few hours. We then had to spend $75 to go to another rental agency and rent a more expensive car.
10.0 ExcellentJan 25 2017
Pros: The service was fast, courteous, and very helpful. The vehicle was clean and works very well for us.
