It was a fantastic experience - they first gave me a free upgrade, but wasn't the car I wanted, so they went to another shop to get what I needed. Later, I needed to extend my booking and they responded at 7am! No hassle, and everything was taken care of.

After arriving at the facility with a Lyft for our pre booked rental we then had the hassle that due to fact they have now only have chip pin payment and my chip was not working on my credit card and company policy is they won’t accept debit card, nor would they let anyone in the party pay the “refundable deposit” they just say there with blank looks on their faces saying there was nothing they could do, we were about to drive from NY to Florida, so luckily for us Budget was only a few blocks away and they as always went out of their way to help us get on our 10 day road trip ! Nice to see good old American Customer Service is still alive at Budget as Alamo sucks with theirs!!

KAYAK

Pros:

Car was ready on time and was pretty clean. Price was good.

Cons:

The pick-up location said not to worry about preexisting scuffs or scratches on the car because they were so small, but the drop-off location tried to pin those marks on me. Fortunately, I took a video of the car when I picked it up, proving the marks were already there. The drop-off location dropped the issue right away after seeing the video.

Cons:

The car was dirty when I picked it up - trash in the car under the seats, inside of window was greasy, and seats were dirty. They quoted me one price for a 6-week rental when I picked it up, then charged me ~$300 more when I dropped it off, because they had messed up the original pricing. Then, to top it off, they double-billed my credit card. Do not use this Avis.

Nov 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The drop off was not 24 hours, but the staff was pleasant

Cons:

We weren't told that an EZPass wouldn't ultimately be needed. I should have asked initially, but it was never prompted and we worried about using cash at every toll throughout our travel. When dropping off it was explained that it was not really needed anymore, but a little more customer assistance with add ons (or the fact that something is not needed) could be helpful. Maybe it's common knowledge, but I would have liked a little more info.

6.8 Okay

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was very friendly. The car was brand new. The pick up was easy.

Cons:

The inside of the back window was greasy and hard to see out of. The rear view mirror was as well. When we returned the car, they didn't let us park in a Hertz spot even though there were open ones. They made us park in a regular parking spot in the garage and pay $20.

KAYAK

Pros:

Decent starting price. Good car.

Cons:

Not told about 'late drop off fee' when I said I would drop it off at 11 originally. Was hit up with a $150 fee that I was not told about. Cmon if you are charging fees other than what I signed on for you need to tell me. $170 of extra fees on an original $250 rental is not cool.

Made mistake with the final cost. Returning the car out of working hours was not convenient.

Pros:

The staff was super helpful and friendly. One of the best experiences I've had picking up a car in NYC.

Cons:

I wish the tank was full when I picked it up. It's a bit more complex to return a tank at 5/8 than to return one that is full.
