In the middle of processing my rental at the Avis desk, when I was picking up the car, the Avis computer went down. It ended up that they charged on my credit card twice for the car rental (but only once for the $200 security deposit). When I tried calling their billing, they could not find my rental and then they told me to call the Reno Airport Avis office, but the number they gave me only got me back to the same corporate automatic phone tree. Finally, there customer service office told me that it should work out when I returned the car. I returned the car yesterday morning as scheduled, but I still have not received the final bill.

I couldn't add my wizard number because I booked through Qeeq. So even though I could check in online for the car, I had to wait an hour in line to pick it up. Only one counterperson was on duty, and even once I got through that, the car wasn't available for another 20 minutes.

My drop off was at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. I was not given the exact location to where I would be park in the car and dropping off keys.. there is no indication that it should be dropped off in the second garage on the fifth level. I wasted about an hour and a half trying to figure it out, I called Avis customer service, and the guy was clueless, he suggested I just park it and leave the keys inside the car.

I wasn't able to pick up the car because it looked like they had run out. Stood in line for three hours and maybe 10 people in the main line up were given cars. It looked like they were giving cars as people brought them back since people would wait for up to 30 minutes with an agent before getting keys. Pretty brutal so I just left and borrowed a friends car thankfully but now its very difficult to get my money back...

Straight scammers. Tried to get me to sign contract for extra 2 hours. Had to cancel and rebook online at check in desk. Then when turning car in with full gas they tried to charge $148 for gas. If I wasn't able to return to drop off counter their gas scam would have worked. Budget should be avoided at all costs if possible.

They are scammers. Tried to add 2 hours to a one day reserved rental. I literally had to back away from the scammers desk and make a second booking to avoid that scam by the Ren guy. Then when returning vehicle they tried to scam me for $144 in fuel charges when the car was returned full. I had to make a return trip to the airport in order to get that rectified. Bottom line Budget should definitely be a NO GO and Kayak shouldn't be associated with these scammers.

I reserved a car from Hertz through your site on August 10, for a pickup at RNO on Sept. 22. I prepaid a portion of the charge ($171.20), leaving a balance ($54.62) due at pickup. Instead, was charged $110.64 at the Hertz desk, and told my only recourse was to call their Customer Relations/Billing phone number to resolve the issue. That proved useless, as they would not honor the stated price on my contract. I believe that $56.02has been stolen from me, and I will never rent from Hertz again. Further, if Kayak is unable to get the overcharge reversed by Hertz, I will never use your service again, and I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years. The price quoted should be the price charged. Period.

Gold member. Rented two months ahead of time for a conference. Upon arrival, I went to check in on app, which displayed “unavailable”. Wait at counter to check in, lady tells me car is ready in pick up area. Go to pick up, nobody knows what I’m taking about and don’t care to find out. Walk back to counter, tell lady my problem. She tells me to go back and wait. 40 mins later, my rental shows up covered in dirty water and all the LiDAR sensors are giving warnings. At that point I was late, so I had to take it. Customer service is awful, I doubt I’ll be back.

Terrible experience. Waited two hours. Had to settle for a down grade of what we originally selected just to avoid waiting longer. The wait was due to lack of cars. Customer service reps were nice but there wasn’t enough of them for Volume of costumers
