Pros:
Staff was friendly.Cons:
The vehicle was filthy inside. There were crumbs everywhere in the back seats. The non smoking car was definitely smoked in a reeked of cigarettes. The navigation screen was busted. On top of all that, one of the tires had a significant leak and I had to put air in it several times. Very bad experience.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was helpful, and pickup and drop off were easyCons:
The car reeked of cigarettes. It was quite overpowering and I could smell it on my jacket after getting out of the car. As a family of non smokers, traveling with a young child, it was kind of gross and embarrassing.10.0 Wonderful

Feb 2018
Pros:
The employee was kind and let me check-in early, the process overall was quick and efficient. No hard sell on extra services. Check-out was similarly efficient, same employee, he was kind and took care of the check-out even though I forgot my paperwork.Cons:
The car was unclean and had a strong cigarette odor(I'm a non smoker). I took photos for my own sake, and would have asked for a second car if I wasn't late for an appointment. The odor stuck to my clothes and I smelled like cigarettes every time I got out of the rental.Dollar

Jul 2020
Pros:
Clean and well equipped car. The agent was nice and professionalCons:
Agent not masked. Not informed when reserving that there would be an additional $200 deposit placed on my credit card. When at the counter I was told that it would be released upon return of car. I don’t know if it has been returned yet, but I was on a trip for an interview during the pandemic and placing an additional $200 would have made my rental decision clear Togo with a different company.5.2 Fair

Cons:
I tried extending my rental and was charged an exorbitant amount of money to do so.6.8 Okay
Oct 2017
Pros:
Great price for a full size car and super quick easy pickup at the airport.Cons:
Even though the price was great for a Hyundai Sonata we just couldn't get over how dirty, old, well used the car was. The car had close to 40,000 miles and looked it. Large deep scratch down the drivers side but the worst part was the filthy upholestry and windows. We had to stop 2 different times to clean all of the interior windows because you just couldn't see through the haze. The towels were black, literally black after wiping them down. The seats could not be cleaned. This was not a quick wipe up of a spill, this was deep down stained over the years dirty. While the price was great and it was indeed a nice large size car the dirty and super well used automobile makes me score a lot lower than usual.9.2 Wonderful

Apr 2017
Pros:
The steering wheel on my Jetta made it impossible for me to see how fast I was traveling.Cons:

Jan 2017
Pros:
The counter was easy to locate. The people were very friendly and easy to deal with.Cons:
The car smelled like smoke. Really strong. I didn't think it was bad at first, but it got pretty annoying.Alamo

Cons:
I reserved a premium SUV 1 week in advance. I called 2 days prior to pickup to make sure the car was there. The local merchant did not answer the phone, so I called the 1800 number to assure my vehicle was there. The vehicle I reserved was not there when I went to pick up and I was offered a minivanAvis

Pros:
Staff we friendly enough at the National center and easy to reach by phone.Cons:
The hours of pick-up did not match what I needed and the KayakRental car site did NOT give me that information. Luckily, I called ahead and would have had to pay an extra day just to get a pick-up BEFORE 8 a.m. I know that the flight schedule in Roanoke, VA is not large, but not to be able to pick up a car before 8 when that is the only outlet for National is a bit unlucky.9.2 Wonderful

Top tips for renting a car at Roanoke airport
- Roanoke Airport (ROA), also referred to as the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport, is a safe and convenient location to secure a rental car. With a Roanoke Airport car rental, you can not only explore historic Roanoke Virginia, but also the surrounding natural wonders of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest, as well. Driving to locations within the city in a rental car can be as much as over an hour faster than taking public transportation. In a Roanoke Airport car rental, you can visit and see what you want on your own schedule.
- Choosing a car rental at Roanoke Airport is ideal because the airport itself is such a convenient place to be situated once you have arrived on your plane and you need to secure ground transportation. The airport has an ATM so you can get cash, Airport Ambassadors to help you with any questions you might have, and a restaurant with a full bar so that you can refresh and reboot if you need to. The airport also features a pet relief area that you can take advantage of if you are traveling with a service animal or a four-legged friend. Vending machines are also available near the car rental counters.
- One distinct advantage of securing a car rental at Roanoke Airport as opposed to renting a car from elsewhere in Roanoke is that the car rental agencies at ROA tend to have longer hours than agencies in town. For instance, Avis at ROA is open from 7 am until 11:30 pm, compared to Avis car rentals in town in Roanoke which are open from 9 am until 5:30 pm.
- When you secure a Roanoke Airport car rental, you can take advantage of services from the agencies that will help expedite the rental process. With Avis, you can take advantage of Preferred Service and After-Hour Returns. With Budget, you can take advantage of Fastbreak Service and After-Hour Returns. With Alamo, you can take advantage of Accelerated Check-In and After-Hour Returns. Signing up for these services is usually free.
