When I went to pick up the car from the Budget/Dammam airport office.. they did not have a reservation in my name.. the employee tried to find the reservation number that was sent by your side in the email, but he failed.. there was no reservation in my name. So I had to make a new reservation with them even though you confirmed my reservation. So please refund any fees or money if you deduct. Thanks

I honestly don't think anything could've been done better. My husband is not a fan of smaller cars but we couldn't see renting something big for 3 days. All of the employees were super friendly & helpful with our rental experience. Thank you for that.

I end up not getting the car. It was uncomfortable to have biometrics taken to rent a car and to catch the agent taking pictures of my documents with her personal phone. The deposit of 14,000 (fourteen thousand) dollars was excessive to say the least. The insurance they offer was also excessive in price 90usd per day but glass and tires were not covered. Why do they need an airplane ticket in order for me to rent a car? Do I need to fly in ondee to drive? I do not understand why they needed to know my travel itinerary. Turns out I did not get the car because of all cars had foreign registration, which was inconvenient for me.

My flight was delayed by 2 hours due to bad weather. I arrived in Atlanta at roughly 10:30pm and made it to the Fox/Europcar desk at 10:45pm. There were no service members there. After waiting for a couple minutes, I asked an employee of a different company at a neighboring desk and they said I would have to locate the office downstairs in the garage to pickup my key. After making my way downstairs and locating the office, I arrived at exactly 11pm as two employees were exiting the office. When I told them I was there to pick up my car, they said they were closed, the computers were shut down, and there was no way to go back into the office and get the keys for my rental. They then told me that my reservation was nonrefundable. I had to go back up to another company's desk and rent a car from them for my 2-hour drive. The complete lack of customer service was the worst car rental experience I've ever had. Lesson learned.

The rental pickup process was long (we had to wait for over an hour) and then the vehicle I received was a shitbox. It was unclean on the inside, and had dents and scratches on it all over outside. When I drove it, the power windows kept having issues, and the engine/transmission sounding like it could give out at any moment. It did not feel safe. I didn’t complain at the time of pickup because we had waited so long and I figured for approximately $25 a day, what I should have expected… but then they charged me twice. I’m also currently in the process of finding out why this cost me nearly $300 for 6 days, instead of the $170 that I paid in advance through Kayak. I probably won’t ever rent from this company or its Honolulu location ever again.

A whole busload of ppl arrived on their shuttle together late in the evening from flights across Canada. Many flights were from 1 to 3 hours late. I watched them tell one after another that they have no reservation, it was cancelled because they arrived late. Some were so upset they were in tears. My reservation was good still being only 1 hour late. They are not at the airport so the travellers denied cars are now stranded outside the airport. Poor customer service. Many customers called the reservation line to inform them about their flight delays. There was no communication to the people working that night. No sympathy, and no attempt to help them. Just a sorry....next.

Person at pick up is unethical and takes advantage of people with up charges. I was a little early and he claimed that he didn’t have a mid size car and that I had to pay for an upgrade. Bill was 150 more than what I signed up for and when I got to the pickup area it was a Hundai Elantra - a mid size car. These people are cheats and manipulators. Don’t rent from them!

I feel scammed. There were no instructions about how to find the rental car facility, no phone number to call, and I could not even find the company on Apple Maps or google so I wasn't willing to uber to a random address that was shown on the reservation (as a woman traveling alone), especially since it was listed as having a shuttle service from the airport. No signs listing the company at the airport or remote rental lot, and no airport employee I asked had ever even heard of the company and therefore could not give me directions. I ended up renting a car through another company and never found the mythical mexrentacar. I would love for someone from Kayak to contact me for a refund on this.

Reserved a vehicle that would hold 8 people. And when we arrived they were trying to give us a grand Cherokee that only fit 5. They ended up giving us 2 cars to get to our hotel, but the other guy that had to drive was not comfortable driving in Mexico. So we went to the hotel and stayed there. They were supposed to deliver a van later that day after 4. And we after calling and calling they finally brought us a car the following day at around 5pm. So I paid for 3 days. And used the new replacement for a total of 18 hours… still charged me full price, and wanted to charge me for the fuel for the first cars that were driven. When you tell someone you’re going to have something, or tell them you’re going to be somewhere at a certain time then you should do it. I will not be renting with Mex rent a car or using kayak ever again.

The car return was weird and sketchy. A young man dressed in a black t shirt and black pants hopped out of a vehicle next to where you return the rentals and asked if we were returning the vehicle. A bit caught off guard I said yes. As he was tapping on his device I stood there contemplating if he worked for the car rental place or just a random guy. When he finally confirmed my name I released the keys to him. My suggestion would be to have uniforms that indicate they’d work for the car rental and not just some random individuals. Secondly allow the customers to do a final walk through without feeling pressured to do so incase they forgot something in the vehicle.

Easy access and streamlined pickup. It's a bit confusing around requirements. The blurb states photo ID driver's license but doesn't state that passports are mandatory in the main introduction. I had to return to pick up my passport. Other locals were having similar problems around proof of address when we arrived, so there is room for improvement. The other thing is they need to be clearer in what insurances were needed. I ticked the cover I thought was required but on arrival got told that I had to add a second insurance as it was compulsory in LA but this was not shown in the main application as compulsory.

The guys up front were super friendly and assisted us quickly. The rental car was adequate for our needs and got us around. It was definitely an older model vehicle ( I’m thinking early to mid 90’s). I know it was carnival week and prices were a bit inflated, but overall I would use them again.

Need to be honest with clients. When I picked up the vehicle I was offered to pay $8.00 dls and not need to worry to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas which I agreed to pay the $8 dls. After i returned it I noticed they charged me $98.00 dls extra for filling up the tank when i returned the car with a 3/4 of the tank full. I’m very disappointed with Alamo how they still money.

I chose sixth because on KAYAK it says that their rental car agency is in the terminal as opposed to the shuttle. Every rental car agency in the San Diego airport is in the rental car center which is a long way away from the airport and requires waiting in a huge line to get to it. The counter was understaffed – I canceled on the spot and booked Avis which is what I should’ve done from the beginning

They didn’t have the vehicle we booked. We went to the first lot at the airport but realized we had to take a cab to a different hertz dealer. Then they didn’t have the correct vehicle. They were going to send us to a third hertz, but we ended up settling for a different vehicle.

My rental was not at the expected location. When I searched in Kayak, I searched for car rentals near the San Diego airport. Apparently there is a small municipal airport near the border with Tijuana and there is a Hertz car rental location there which came up in my search. Since I would not have expected this type of option to come up in my search parameters, I did not think there was a need to check the address of the rental location. A mistake I will never make again. However, I also will never be using Kayak or Hertz again. I will not be using Hertz mainly because the person at the rental counter in the actual San Diego airport location was not willing to help me other than to indicate that I was at the wrong location and that I should go to that other location if I would like my rental car.

I put in San Diego Airport and it listed this place half an hour away, at a different little airport right next to the border. They were unprofessional and the agent was apathetic. Our flight was delayed a few hours and she said our reservation was cancelled because they only keep it for an hour after the pickup time you put on the reservation. I have never heard of that before anywhere else! So, they charged me about $70 more than the reservation I had set up!

Terrible experience overall. Stay far away from this place for many reasons: 1. Car rental facility is far from San Diego (on the border with Mexico), 2. Staff does not speak English. 3. No flexibility with rental terms. 4). Unreliable cars. Ours broke down the second to last day, with less than 50 total miles driven. Car had to be towed back. Never received so much as an apology (again, the language barrier), let alone an offer to remunerate for the giant fiasco that was this rental experience. Long story short, do not rent from them!

Wait time for pick up at the airport was extremely long. Tha rental place had only one man rin pick up and drop off. The rental place is being run from an hotel lobby which looks awkward to me. I had 2 flat tires which made it impossible to move, on calling the rental, they told me to call my insurance company because towing assistance wasn't part of the contract, so, incase you rent from York Car Rental any problem you encounter during the duration of your rental is entirely yours. The usual practice that the rental place will send you another vehicle as replacement is out of it at York. I had to spend additional $320 out of pocket to tow and replace the tires🙁🙁🙁. Even with this experience, I will give kudos to the Driver, who is an amazing guy 👍🤝.

Pros:

Car was comfortable, clean and drove easily - lousy mileage, but we got the sense that Californians dont care much, given the number of gas guzzlers we saw on the road at over $4.00/gal in most service stations - mixed in with Tesla's and Prius's. Odd contrast.

Cons:

All good with exception of Drop-Off. Unclear directions in the final stretch of the exercise (needed to turn up a lane in the garage that was hidden behind other cars). No staff present and when a fellow eventually showed up, he did not check the car, just told us to leave the keys in the car and all else would be dealt with - whatever that means - if there is any disagreement on gas (we filled up), damage (there was none), etc., how would one verify it after the fact?

When I booked this rental, the description showed the rental center was off-site as were all the other major rentals, Avis, Budget, Dollar, etc. What WASN’T revealed until our plane landed was that a 2nd shuttle from the rental center was required. That shuttle dropped us at an office located through a garage into a grimy building with all vacant offices except the U-Save rental office. After completing the paperwork (which included a statement that there would be no price adjustments if the vehicle was returned early- which we did after experiencing the multi- shuttle issue), we had to walk down a hill to a parking garage to get the car. The vehicle itself, a Toyota Corolla, (these are now “standard”, not “compact”) was a brand new hybrid and worked well except for the 1 trip we took with all 5 of our party - a bit cramped. When we decided to return the car early to avoid the dual shuttle situation on our departure day, we were directed to wait in the dark, grimy garage for the shuttle to return. 5 other folks arrived with their luggage also. After waiting around 10 minutes, we decided to Uber back to the hotel. We trudged the 1/2 block up the hill from the garage (we’re 72 and 83 years old) , where the shuttle would have been also, and got an Uber with no problem. The Uber pulled up at the same time as the shuttle - which was a 7 passenger mini-van - it would’ve been a tight squeeze. Bottom line - decent car but not worth the aggravation. Spend a few more dollars for a name brand company. I wish we had.

Absolutely terrible experience and will never use Turo. Apparently the car we had arranged months before was smashed two weeks before we we due to pick it up. Trouble is, no one told us until we were on the Eurostar on the way to get it. They had had our money for ages. Seems like the owner, Luke, was trying to get Turo to make up the difference and hire us his more expensive alternative (a Porsche, which I wouldn’t want anyway). Turo “help” line was totally unhelpful. Couldn’t end the deal; couldn’t refund without us getting on to another department (hard on a foreign phone). They can’t call you…. So it was impossible to organise an alternative. If there is a problem with a car hire company, they just replace it. Turo was more expensive and unable to fix a problem. Never again.

I don't recommend to anyone. Pick up was annoying because instead of having the info from kayak/priceline, they just push their own stuff. Then, the matter of limited miles per day. And finally, after the return they want to stack more charges. I was disputing when in the end, they cut off communication and were falsely gonna complain to tsa and cards network that I was a problem. It was a stressful nightmare and costed me 3 times more than i intended for a rental.
