Even though I had personal insurance that would cover the car if anything happened, they required me to purchase their insurance to rent the car. That DOUBLED the price of the rental.

The car, itself, was the best part. Pickup and drop off was a bit of an annoyance. When I search for rental cars via search engine such as Kayak, I expect it give me options that match my pickup/drop off locations. Economy Rent a Car is not at the Rental Car Facility; you need to get a Lyft/Uber to Economy. And, Economy’s drop off directions for where the key goes was poorly written and confusing.

When I landed, I called to pick up the rental car and was just told they had no cars left and that I needed to contact corporate to get a refund. The agent was very blunt and didn’t offer any real apology. I was left stranded with a 7 month old baby. We ended up having to pay $50 for a taxi to my hotel and the next morning got a rental car from enterprise costing us $280. My original reservation was meant to be $140 For the entire week. I will not risk booking a car again through Economy. I am now having to work with another agent from corporate for a refund and it has just been so much more work.

Pros:

Nothing because they said or we scheduled to pick up the car at 6:00 PM and it was confirmed. We received emails for 6:00 PM pickup. When we went for pickup they were closed and there was already a customer waiting who said he had have a really hard time getting a car there. The gates were closed, no car for us. The response was “guy leaves 6:00 pm on the dot” Really? Worst place to book from. Never book your car here unless you want to take the risk of not having a car to drive when you get there.

Cons:

Everything - I don’t think this car rental should be permitted to operate if they don’t have the will to serve their customers with right information and service.

Pros:

Nothing at all

Cons:

this rental company should clearly indicate international customer have no option but they have to paid the liability insurance and it cost 16/day so customer don't get frustrate and choose the other rental car that does not mandatory on this. also they should need to mention that they don't care about the customer so they don't answer the phone no matter what and you need to find yourself to get to the rental car company. for customer, i will say look at the review before book this company and if they are lazy or stupid enough like me then they will learn the lesson hard way.

When we ordered the car the payment summary indicated $970.97 for the three weeks. When we picked up the car and added liability insurance the new amount came to a total of $1400 (already important rise), however the bad surprise was when we dropped off the car - we ended up having to pay $2600 and were told that it is what we were shown.

My first comment: At check-in I advised that I would fill the gas tank prior to drop off. At drop off i requested to get a printed copy of the receipt from the person checking the car in. I then noticed that she charged me $18 for fuel. I then asked her why I was charged for fuel when I brought the car in full of fuel. She asked to see the fuel receipt. I gave it to her to review. She then corrected the charges. She then commented that it was good I checked the receipt. Charging me for fuel should never have happened. Had I not asked for a printed copy of the receipt this would have been much more difficult to correct at a later date. I am very disappointed that this occurred and will think twice about using Avis again. My second comment: The windshield was dirty on the inside. I needed to clean it myself to see out better.

I did not enjoy my experience with Avis. The first car I received had a malfunction with the screen that controlled the air, music and navigation. When I went back to exchange it, the next car I was offered was smaller than the original car. I explained this was not okay for our size group and was told my only option was to pay for an upgrade to a minivan. Which was the same cost as the size car I booked when I was online booking months in advanced, but now that it was the day of and their car had issues, I was responsible for paying more. Doesn’t make sense to me. The minivan had extremely poor air conditioning and trash was found in the car.

The drop off was complicated moving the charges to another credit card despite our telling them our intentions before we took the car and as we dropped it off. It required a manager and quite a bit of time. Fortunately, we didn’t miss our flight but it was close despite the extra time we allocated and TSA-Pre.

Beware! Their pickup location is so far that it took an hour to get to the rental counter. First a bus to the rental area, but since then a second pickup for which I waited 15 minutes. Definitely can't maximize. The car also was a cheaper non major brand with uncomfortable seats. The upside was the car didn't smell. If you're going to use an offsite (not at the airport rental section due to space limitations) I recommend NuCar (though check mileage) I used them before and they're friendlier. The problem is that on a short trip you lose an hour on pickup and need to plan to arrive at airport an hour earlier. I also felt this company had little flexibility (say to change the car if needed, that weren't time consuming) and confusing pickup systems. The counter guy read the policies clearly but fast like a robot.

U-Save Car Rental at San Diego Airport was a frustrating experience. Located off-site, it requires a shuttle pickup from the car rental center, but contacting them was nearly impossible. I called eight times, only to be routed through a confusing, multi-prompt system in LA. When I finally reached the San Diego line, it went to voicemail every time. No one answered, and I never got picked up. Forced to find another option, I rented from a different agency. Poor communication and unreliable service make U-Save a risky choice.

My experience was absolutely horrible. I showed up at Thrifty to pick up my rental car that I had already paid for in full. They advised me that they were out of rental cars for the night and to try someplace else. I told them I already paid for it and they told me "too bad". I was left scrambling and had to use Budget renal service and pay almost 4x the price on top of what I already paid. I've been trying to get ahold of someone to help but they keep pointing me in different directions.

They had a 1.5 hour line and were out of the car type we reserved. They advised us to come back the next day and even then they didn’t have the car we reserved. So we ended up having to make a new reservation with a different company.

Pros:

Great being able to select the exact car you want for a rental.

Cons:

Feel financially taken advantage for wanting a luxury specific car rather than a general “luxury category” rental.

The car was clean, comfortable. But when I booked, I paid 85$ as quoted and when I got to the counter to pick up the car, I was charged another 200$ that would cover 150$ as a "return fee" that was not disclosed anywhere because I was picking the car up at San Diego and returning it in Phoenix. I don't mind paying a fee as long as it is disclosed ahead of time and I can fully make the decision to rent or not, by comparing with other services. The counter representative only explained that it would be refunded once the car was returned. I returned it the same it was rented, (Sat 5 of sept) and the money has not been refunded (as of 9/9 9:29am). Maybe I have to wait a little longer to get the refund but there was a lack of clarity from the representative to explain where in the contract that I was to sign, it stated that it was going to be refunded. I asked how I could be assured that the money was going to be refunded and the only response was that it would. The one thing I will praise was the car attendant that received the car in Sky harbor airport in Phoenix, I did not get his name but he was very helpful, and guided me out of the rental area at 11pm. Very kind of him. For safety, I will write to Fox to let them know that as I was braking in the winding downhill road towards Phoenix, the car wheel was trembling and I had to descend at less than 50mph to be able to keep the car stable, probably an issue with tire balance. Crossing my fingers I get the refund, but this should not be the case.

My flight was cancelled/delayed and Fox would not honor my reservation when I arrived. They sent me to a different off site car rental company. I was over charged for the type of car I received. It was all very sketchy.

Europcar is actually Fox Rental. The agent at the check in counter was not able to explain why I had to answer certain questions (got example why was being asked to sing to confirm I have not taken an airport shuttle to get to their office). I've also asked for no insurance extras to be added. After dropping off the car I've realized they've added LDW and LRP optional insurance. I have a feeling I will never see these refunded, despite having asked for no extras at pick up. Just another zero transparency car rental company. The car was dirty on the inside, full of crumbs, a half empty bottle and napkins. The drop off process was quick however and someone assisted me right away. They location of the drop off is not too far from the escalator to the terminal shuttle.

Everything was sketchy from the minute we arrived. Horrible experience picking up car. All cars offered were filthy. We, we along with other customers, were stranded at their off-off airport location when returning the car at 9am on a weekday as their office was closed during business hours. We had no transport options except for getting an Uber/Lyft back to the terminal. Never will rent from this company again.
