Our passenger door didn't open from the inside, so we had to roll down the window and open from the outside every time we wanted to exit the vehicle. We tried to call the branch twice and got a busy signal.

We waited in line for over an hour... there was 1 customer service agent and about 30 people in line. We reserved an intermediate SUV but were given a compact SUV, then told the compact SUV was in the same category as the intermediate. The reason I reserved the intermediate SUV is because I need a blindspot indicator and that is something that has always come standard with an intermediate SUV. The compact SUV category does not have this. Anyway, I tried to get a different car and they refused. The customer service agents were unhelpful. I called Avis, who acquired Budget and they basically told me to get lost over the phone. It was a disappointing experience to say the least so I won't be renting from Budget/Avis again if I can help it.

The customer counter gave me wrong lot number of the car location when I picked up. But otherwise overall good experince.
It took almost an hour to get the car because there was only one customer service rep for a long period of time. After almost an hour waiting 2 additional reps came out. When picking up the car they didn't have our premium style car but upgraded is to a mid size Genesis SUV.
I was a little leery because it was so much cheaper than everyone else and it took me to a strange site I'd never heard of before. But it all went through Avis and everything was fine.

Ten customers in line to rent the car only one person behind the desk with a very poor attitude. Took a very long time. No one in parking lot to help u find the car. Once we found it we couldn’t get the trunk open finally after we were there for awhile someone came and helped us. Returning the car was a total nightmare. A bunch of cars were stacked up like there was no one working to move them. We pulled in line and a car to the side of us was damaged so I left a space in front of me because I didn’t want to scratch our car. The attendant hollered at us three time at the top of his voice with a very demeaning attitude to pull the car up and we ditto it and he was very angry with us. Overall u r in the people business and your people failed u. Very low class and poor tone and didn’t want to be there.

I rented through a third party, which was not clearly marked. Rentalcars.com. Our flight was cancelled due to torrential rains in New York City. We had to cancel our trip. Nevertheless, Rentalcars.com charged us the full amount. No recourse through Thrifty. I will think twice before using Kayak again,

The total cost was to be $177. Had me sign in early but did not have car available online so I did not pick up car till Thursday 7:42 as one was NOT available at the promised noon. The return was supposed to be returned to Hertz. At this point I have been charged: $263 8/22; $350 on 8/22 and $422.98 on 8/25. Can you PLEASE reverse these charges to the agreed amount $177?

Until the rental car industry drastically shortens the time from the time one walks up to the rental counter until pickup of the vehicle, I for one will not be happy with the pickup procedure. The return was quick and excellent. I was not aware of understood the breakdown of the final bill.

The car is a hatchback, but does not have a rear wiper. It made it very dangerous driving when it was outside. Cannot see how the back. Also if Avis is gonna require people to return a rental at 70% charge and they should send it out at 100%. I only got 85% to start.
