Pros:
Staff was friendly and helpful - quick pick-up. Car was great. After-hours drop-off was quick & easy. Would definitely recommend!7.2 Good
May 2017
Pros:
They said they would refund the cab ride from and to the airport with proper receipts, and they did.Cons:
My plane was late and I am not from where I needed the car. I was told the system was down for maintenance (at 11 pm?) and they would not be able to give me a car - they did not expect the system to come back up for 3 hours. In other words, I had to find my own way to my hotel and back again the next day to pick up the car once the system was up. No company runs maintenance at that hour! The guy behind the desk was, in my opinion, a bit too glib about the situation and offered no help. I was quite disturbed by his attitude! It was not easy to find a cab at that hour.10.0 Excellent

Cons:
I had to wait in line for 40 minutes to get the car and ended up not getting the type of car I paid for. I mentioned this to the agent and she basically told me there was nothing she could do. Upon return, it was not clear at all where to return.Budget

Pros:
Cars in tallahassee location usually in decent condition.Cons:
Pickup / drop-off awful. If theres rain, Avis/Budget requires customers to walk in the rain to terminal to return cars rather than have staff in return lot. Lines in parking lot trying to find a parkingspot(again need staff) and lines in terminal for returns. Enterprise/Alamo/Hertz had on-site staf10.0 Excellent

Apr 2020
Pros:
The people that I dealt with were all very professional and very nice. This rental was easy and a great experience.Cons:
When I picked up the car, it didn't have a full tank of gas. The needle was clearly below the full mark. I was headed to Costco in preparation for my drive on the next day and the tank took over five dollars of gas. Gas that day was $1.70/gallon. That is not a full tank in anyone's book. Otherwise everything else was great.6.4 Good
Nov 2019
Pros:
Car was very clean and in great shape.Cons:
The first car I was given was an SUV that I was not expecting as I preferred a sedan. In addition, this car had flat tire that forced me to return to the rental station after leaving to exchange. I was not happy having to walk back and forth from the lot with my belongings twice in rain.10.0 Excellent

Apr 2017
Pros:
I reserved a car and when I got there they informed me that they were all out of cars. I started getting upset cause it took me an hour to get there and the guy asked if I would be ok with a mini van. I said ok and figured I was gonna end up paying 3 times more. They apologized for the inconvience and discounted the entire thing so I paid the same price for the car. They had really great customer service.Cons:
I'm not usually a minivan guy (It was really nice though).2.0 Mediocre
Apr 2017
Pros:
I arrived at the location and they didn't have my reservation and there was no vehicle available for me at that time. I had to go across town and came back with nothing. The people at Enterprise acted as if they didn't even care. Very disappointed and will never go there again.9.6 Excellent
Apr 2017
Pros:
I booked for a 3:00 pickup. Kayak didn't tell me they closed at 3:00. I was running a little late and called. I was told system shuts down at 3:05. I arrived at 3:06 and rep unlocked doors and assigned my rental. Was very friendly while she did it. Pretty sure I got upgraded in the process because I ended up with a larger vehicle than expected.Cons:
I booked for a 1:00 rental pickup on another site at another agency. . Only to find out rental agency closed at 1:00. Missed that rental. Booked this rental for 3:00 Via Kayak and Kayak didn't tell me rental store closed at 3:00. I arrived at 3:06 and only by great cust svc from Enterprise was I able to pick up car. If I missed this one, it would have cost $100+ more to get from airport. both rentals ended up booking through the site with Captain Kirk and Penny, so my real beef is with them, I guess, but on the second one, I went through Kayak to get rental.Dollar

Apr 2018
Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
When we arrived, on time, at 7:00 pm there was no one in the Thrifty booth. A sign referred us to the Avis booth. The Avis clerk told us that Thrifty had given our car to someone else. It would take a while to get another one. One and 45 minutes later we cancelled the reservation by phone and rented from Budget. They had us on the road within 20 minutes. The service person at Budget was personable and very helpful. We got the Budget rental for $200.00 less than the Thrifty rental. Perhaps they need to change their name. They definitely need to learn what the word "service" means. I'll NEVER go to Thrifty again.10.0 Excellent

Top tips for renting a car in Tallahassee
- With not one but several huge national parks just around the corner, it is a good idea to rent a car for your next trip to Tallahassee and discover the beauty of the city as well as the surrounding areas. Explore every nook and cranny of Tallahassee, from the Tallahassee Museum in the southwest, to the Automobile Museum in the very northeast. Get the most out of your trip on your own wheels and also explore some breathtaking nature beyond the city borders.
- If you fly into Tallahassee International Airport, the most convenient way to start your journey is by choosing to rent a car directly from there. Various agencies offer their vehicles to be picked up from the airport garage, so you can be in the center of Tallahassee in about 15 minutes. Keep in mind that there is no public service running between the airport and the city, so you would otherwise have to get an expensive cab or Uber to get to your next destination.
- The state of Florida has many toll roads so, if you’re planning on leaving Tallahassee, make sure to have enough change to pay the tolls (about $1). There is also the Move Over law enforced now in the state, which means if there is an emergency vehicle on the side of the road, drivers have to slow down 20 mph from the original speed, or move into the left lane.
- Try to avoid the rush hours in Tallahassee for a smooth and hassle-free driving experience. Usually, peak times are on weekdays between 7 and 8:30am and 5 and 6:30pm. During that time, especially Monroe Street, Tennessee Street, and Apalachee Parkway can be severely congested, and familiarizing with the one-way streets of Duval or Bronnough can be helpful to circumnavigate the main routes.
