First time renting with Budget. The Tacoma location of Budget/Avis has good staff, they were very helpful with any questions or concerns I had. I rented the car for 7 days, and added 1 extra day that was $75 because of daily rate plus the Insurance that covers total loss/theft/vandalism etc. I used my debit card and they placed a $200 hold. In closing it was good. I would definitely rent a car with the Tacoma Budget/Avis location again.

I was able to pick up the car fairly easily, smooth process took less than 5 minutes to both pick up the car and return it. Was able to get a fairly new vehicle that ran very smoothly, was cleaned beforehand. Drama free. Front desk staff was very friendly.

Passenger van

Can was older, had no way to play music except through aux cord. Radio antennae had been stolen and the van was all dented up. Had a plastic piece hanging off that flapped a lot as we drove. The staff was super friendly and helpful though. However, when I came by to drop off, there was only one employee in the whole establishment, and I waited for 10+ minutes before I even saw her! Again though, the staffer was friendly and helpful.

Horrible experience. I prepaid for a car and when I went to pick it up they told me they had no cars. Did nothing to try and help me and I’m still fighting with hertz to get me money back. They suck.

I took an Uber that cost me $55 and came to pick up the car. They told me they don't have a car available for me and this was a non-refundable booking. And the person helping me wasn't nice about it all. This experience has been both inconvenient and disappointing.

Even though I had a confirmation from Hertz, when I arrived at the location they specified, there was no car. The people who worked there were rude, loud, unhelpful. They told me my best option was to take an Uber 40 mins north to another location ($100 Uber ride). So not use this service! And do not if you can help it try to rent a car from Hertz in Tacoma because a reservation means 0.

I reserved a car through kayak, made plans dependent on that car, then was told an hour before picking up the car that there were no cars available. Never renting a car through Hertz or Kayak again !

I made the reservation for 12 noon on 12/16. We got there at 12:05 and the office closed at 12:00. They would not allow us to rent the car. Your website did not mention that the particular location closed at 12 pm. I should not have been able to make the reservation for 12 since they closed at 12. I was left without a car.
