Please check the rental car location hours before booking. I reserved a car for 5pm and my flight got in slightly later than expected and took an Uber to enterprise arriving at 5:10 to find out they closed at 5pm, so I was left stranded without a car and unable to get through to anyone. Kind of ridiculous to let someone reserve a car for the exact time the branch closes. Kayak shouldn’t allow this either

We made a reservation and went to the Enterprise counter at the Atlanta Airport and was told we did not have a reservation and they had no cars available. We had to rent from Avis and paid over $600.00 for 3 days to go to a wedding.

No car. I booked for ATL. Was told at airport that car was downtown on Peach St! No excuse for this. Cost me a lot of time and money. Last time I will use or recommend 3rd party booking.

When I arrived, I was told I was at the wrong Enterprise desk...and that the other one was closed. There were NO cars available, at any price (let alone the "bargain" price I had booked) and I had to take a much higher walk-up rate at Avis. Lucky for me I have credit and Avis had a car! Enterprise USED TO BE a reliable vendor, but I hear nothing good about them anymore.

Made a reservation a few days in advance with email confirmation of the reservation only to be told on the day of that they “have over 30 reservations but only one car available”. Glad we were able to go through Turo or we would’ve had to cancel our road trip, and the plans we already paid for would have been a waste of money. Really doesn’t make sense to keep letting people book online if they know they have a car shortage

I loved the car. Great gas mileage and was comfortable.

The deposit still has not been credited to my account and when I booked it off of this website, it told me my total was $ 64.84 and I have been charged $279.73 !! That's horrible misrepresentation!

They nickel and dime you at every turn Was an hour late at pick up location due to flight delay and was given a $200 upcharge to get a 'like class' that I reserved because my car was rented within that 60 minutes. No human interaction, submit all questions, concerns or issues via web portal unless you're at a location. Even though the BMW 3 series I finally rented only had 30K , the car was pretty dinged up and now they are saying I did some of the damage even with me supplying a video of what the car looked like at point of pick up. Staff at the pick up location, very rude with a "this is the way it is, take it or not .,., I only do what I am told to do"

Although booked 24 hours early, at the airport the rep told us you have to wait for 1.5-2 hours or else go somewhere and find another car. They did not give us the car and asked to book somewhere else. Horrible experience. Never ever will book EZ car rental.

The representative at the front desk (inside office) was very courteous and upgraded my car because there were none available at one of the pick up areas. Other than that I can’t think of anything.

My first car was barely clean on the outside, wheel was shaking at 60+ mph, returned car and was charged a full tank of gas when the I barely used 1/4 of a tank. Service was mediocre at best. Never renting from this company again! Manager did not include in the notes why I returned car.

They are dishonest and do not even tell you the whole truth when renting the car. The girl told me $20 for unlimited gas but never specify that it was $20 per day. They do not tell you how much gas cost to fill up and will send an email receipt instead of telling you the cost up front and deposits.

My scheduled pick up time was 3pm, they texted 45m prior to that time stating that they closed at 3pm. I explained that it was impossible to be there before 3pm.. They made no accommodations to stay or help find another location that would be open past 3pm. Horrible service I would not suggest using this location.

Didn’t even get a rental car. Got a pathetic text an hour before pickup that they were out of cars. Thrifty was such a scam - don’t overbook if you don’t have the cars, and let people know before they’re leaving for their trip (when they book a car weeks in advance).

This was a nightmare of an experience. I reserved my rental car through kayak for pick up at the Atlanta airport. My flight was delayed by 2 hours, and when I arrived to the Atlanta airport Hertz location they advised me that my car was actually reserved at the peachtree location, and that that location closed at 6 PM. They then proceeded to advise me that since I had pre-paid that reservation there was nothing they could do for me. They could not transfer my Hertz reservation from the Peachtree location to the Hertz at the Atlanta airport location. So I then ended up paying an additional $740 to rent the exact same car!! Grateful I had a credit card that I was able to put this on, but not everyone is so fortunate. I just do not understand how a company cannot transfer services between different locations. It’s quite ridiculous!

When I requested my rental, my pickup location was entered as Atlanta Hartsfield airport. When we arrived at the Hertz counter in the airport, the rental was in Buckhead-a suburb of Atlanta. To transfer the location was $2100.00 Instead, we took a $35 Uber ride to Buckhead. My blame is not on Hertz but on Kayak which I will not be using again. When we returned the car to the Toledo Ohio location I was given a credit for our Uber cost, and they were very apologetic. Next time I will book directly thougfh Hertz

First my booking was changed to downtown Atlanta from airport. At midnight, the attendant informed me i needed to head downtown for pickup, at my expense. I did so, and found that location closed. I returned to the airport location where I was treated to a new reservation, at a higher rate!! It’s bizarre that the agents on duty feel empowered to make sensible decisions yet failed so woefully.

Reservations were allowed when there were no cars. Three and a half hour wait for an unsanitized, dog hair filled, dirty, gas guzzler when I booked a compact. I had to clean the car myself with three staff sitting and watching me do it. Drop-off location was closed when I was scheduled to return the car. Location did not have a drop box for key. Other location given as an option had no place to park the car. Stressful customer service interaction because they could not find a solution to alleviate the drop off issue beforehand. Very frustrating!

When I arrived to pick up my previously reserved car at ATL Airport I had to wait nearly an hour in line to be processed and then an additional 2.5 hours to get my car. It was late at night and I didn't have any other option than to wait. Staff were working hard to get everyone what they needed and I appreciate their diligence, but no one was able to say with any certainty when a car would be available. I understand there is a car shortage but it is ridiculous and unacceptable to overbook to such a degree with such dismal customer support and communication, and not even offering a discount or comped rental. Very disappointing and frustrating.

It started with a 2 hour wait in line for a car, that proceeded with additional charges on top of my reservation cost by a salesman that snuck in an upgrade when I was exhausted and didn’t realize what he was doing. I was then given a key and then sent to a garage where someone would help me find the car and go over it, I was promptly told to just keep clicking the door unlock button and my car would beep. No one went over the car with me or showed me how anything worked, so was never able to figure out the gps and thank god I didn’t try and roll down the back window as come to find out it was taped shut! There was empty cans rolling around under the seats so I am sure it wasn’t cleaned as they supposedly guarantee, Finally, when I returned the car they claimed the tank was full and wanted to charge me for gas. Which thank goodness I took a picture of the gas gauge and mileage remaining and it showed there were 100+ miles more range than when I picked it up and they I guess believed me so maybe a positive there, although I was already running late for my flight so you lose that point as they sent me to customer service to resolve that. All in all I would extremely recommend anyone other than dollar and seeing as thrifty is run by the same people them by extension.

I reserved a pickup truck from the Atlanta centre over a month before the collection date. They had no vehicles except from Small SVU/Sedans. As I was on a road trip, I required a car that day. They said I had to take one of those cars at the same much higher rate that I booked the pickup for. Then contact customer services. As I'm not from the USA, my phone rates would of made it extremely expensive and customer service wouldn't initially help via email. I've been back and forward with customer services for nearly 3 weeks as I needed to wait till the end of my reservation period before they could intervene. Overall a very poor experience. I will not be using AVIS in a rush, nor will recommend them to work / friends. Regards, Calum Mackinder

Pick up location was unmarked and hard to find. The drop off location had no attendant and I had to go into the actual airport to return the car. I think i was overcharged by 80 bucks but I STILL haven't received an emailed receipt to check. They were unable to give me one when I dropped the car off. Car was alright and pretty clean but the pick up and drop off was one of my worst rental experiences. I would also really like a receipt.

Pickup was very slow, despite there being very few customers there. One agent in particular was at his post behind the counter talking with what seemed to be friends the whole time I was there, which was about 20 minutes. At drop-off, I was 1.5 hours late and was charged $120 for a full day of rent, which is unreasonable. I spoke with an agent there and was able to get $60 back, though they pushed back on me a lot about it at first. The car itself was fine, though it said it needed maintenance shortly after I picked it up. Thankfully, I didn't have any problems with it.
