The line for pick up was over an hour. They gave me a large 4x4 with a trailer hitch. I refused it because I have had no experience driving a large vehicle and I had no need for one. Local transportation only. It took them two more hours to give me a car, which I was told was for a manager. 2019 or so; bad brakes, 75,000 miles. Not the best but I was glad to have something. I told them I wanted a smaller car, no preference. For two hours I watched customers go through the line and pick up vehicles; I kept asking why I couldn’t have that one or that one or that one. No answer. It took three hours to get a car which totally messed up my day. Will I ever rent from Fox again?? Obviously not. And if Kayak supports this poor management I will avoid Kayak also. I have never seen such confusion. Many people were having issues but not like mine. No excuses.Reviewed Jun 1 2023

The Pickup Process was frustratingly painful. I felt like I was in the 1980s, waiting in line for almost an hour to pick up a car. ( Late at night) (when I still had two hours to drive ). Shouldn't that process be more automated in 2023. Drop-off was smooth and easy, and the car was fine. But that pick-up experience was enough to turn me off from Fox for any future car rentals. You have to do better.Reviewed Jun 1 2023

We were not told about the extra driver charge. We were also told that every toll in Seattle was $20.00 so we took the toll package. When driving, the tolls showed $2,50, $3.50 etc. They were nowhere near $20.00 so we overpaid for them. A quote of $227.xx for the rental car turned out to be $411.xx. Quite a shock!!Reviewed May 31 2023

I reserved a compact SUV, but when I arrived they were “out of cars” and gave me a Toyota Corolla that had been damaged. When I made my initial call to FOX and ask for a discount, they asked me “ well why did you accept the car”. I informed them that I had no choice because I flew into Houston for my nephew’s graduation and this was my only option. They told me that I had to talk to the manager at the pickup location. I talked to the manager during drop off and he said that he would give me a 15% discount. I accepted. The manager then called me 30 minutes later and said he couldn’t give me the discount because I went through a 3rd party, but to “keep his personal number” and he’ll give me a discount next time I rent. No discount code or anything… just “call my personal number”. At that point, I just chalked it up to a loss.Reviewed May 29 2023
