Hartford Bradley Intl Airport car rental reviews and directory
Well, as you know, we’ve had some problems getting flights to go out on time and my flight was canceled. And facing long lines I decided I’ll wait for it to settle down and go another time so Frontier refunded my money hotel zero refunded my money. what did the car company I contracted through? You do charge me money $200 to cancel a $350 reservation. Do you think I’m coming back to use you again?

Staff was all very friendly and pick up and drop off was very easy.
I rented a car for my husband who was flying in late on Christmas Eve. I reserved a compact SUV because we needed it a car with a little more space for the holidays. When he arrived, the gentleman at the front desk gave him a compact sedan. When he let them know that was incorrect, Cesar was rude, telling him that it didn’t matter what my confirmation email said in terms of car type, but his system showed a class that was just a basic car. My husband called me to talk to him since I made the reservation, and he was condescending and rude telling me that he knew more than I did because he worked there for 20 years. He ultimately gave my husband the SUV, but charged him an additional $20 per day to do so. I am extremely disappointed in my experience this trip.

I specifically choose the “dealers choice” that did NOT show the car would be electric and when I got there I was told all “dealers choice” cars are electric. Seems intentionally deceitful to have 2 nearly identical listings where the only difference is one shows electric and the other does not.

Long wait time, there were only three people in line 2 associates at the desk and it still took almost an hour to pick up a pre checked prior reservation. Feels like it should be speedier than what I experienced.

The staff was helpful and courteous at pickup and drop-off. When we picked up our first car, it wreaked of cigarettes, the agent was happy to upgrade us to another available car. It took loading and unloading onto 3 cars but we found one that didn’t have any major issues. Overall satisfied, just wish it didn’t take loading in and out of 3 cars with a family of four to find one that was acceptable. ***I did notice, most of the offending vehicles were from NY.***

Aramis was so nice, he helped me find a car that was suitable to my requests and just a friendly person. Thank you!!
Their website accepted a one-way rental, but the local office would not honor it. Worse, they wouldn’t come out and say they wouldn’t honor it, they just said “it would be a good 6 hours late.” Then “we really can’t promise” expecting we would give up and then it would be me canceling the reservation, giving up, not them. They did not honor their reservation leaving me high and dry.
We dropped off in a different town than pick up. We were not exactly sure where we were going in that city. We needed to drop off at a closer location in that city for convenience and they accommodated. Staff was so nice at pick up and drop off locations.

Dollar has a scam - I showed to pick up my car and they say we only have an EV (which I couldn’t take). They then say we can give you a gas car if you pay an upgrade fee of $35 per day. Total scam that exploits traveling people. Will never use them again.
Didn’t have cars in the class I reserved and prepaid, so was forced to take a lower class vehicle. Also, no fully charged vehicle was available, so I had to accept one with 3/4 battery charge. The car was filthy. They made numerous attempts to upsell me other options/services, and when I refused they tried to suggest it was not optional. I continued to refuse to pay extra above my prepaid amount, and they eventually relented. However, as a result, it took 45 minutes from the time I got to the counter to the time I drove off.
