They show themselves as being at PIE, when they’re actually not at the airport. Deceptive advertising.

When I went to go pick up the car. The Avis person was very stressed and a little off putting and very quickly said they wouldn’t give me a car until after my scheduled appointment time. They had a few suvs and a lot of electric cars on their lot (none of which classes I ordered.) I was very calm and explained that I had an appointment I had to make, so they gave me a different class of car. The car was fine, just not what I ordered. Return experience was fine

Canceled the reservation the same day I made it because the date was wrong and almost a month later and still no refund when I spoke with the woman on the phone she told me it was canceled and I'd see my refund in 5-7 days and nothing

Pros:

We cancelled this vehicle via phone call and on line. We are still being charged for the car.

Cons:

Accept a cancellation by phone and via online and refund charged fees to the customer in a timely fashion.

Pros:

Pickup experience was a nightmare and I was placed into a dirty car.

Cons:

Speed at checkout. They should have cleaned the car... esp during Covid. They should have placed me into a different car if they didn’t have time to clean the car they put me into. I also could not get ahold of customer service for the life of me. Awful experience.

2.0 Poor

Jacob, Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Drop off at SFB was easy. We had to change our drop-off location mid-trip and this was easy to do over the phone using the “rental extension” phone number on our initial receipt.

Cons:

Was traveling with an IL driver’s license that had its expiration date extended 6 months by the state of IL due to Covid-19. No issues with TSA in 3 different airports. No issues anywhere except Hertz in St. Petersburg where the store manager would not allow me to pick up the car. In the state of FL, Hertz does not have good options for dealing with toll roads. You can either pay an exorbitant amount of money up-front (for our rental period something like $70, way more than the amount we would pay in tolls), or you can get charged afterwards for the tolls you use + a $10 administrative fee for each. There are several toll roads where you can only “pay by plate” or transponder and there is no option for paying with cash, so if you don’t know the area and your navigation takes you on one of these roads, Hertz has you over a barrel.
