The brand new vehicle broke down in the middle of a freeway in the middle of the storm. The help desk told us to take our luggage and walk to the nearest exit, and that we would be responsible for leaving the vehicle behind and any damages as a result thereof. It was an east European sounding outsourced agent. We managed to get the vehicle off the freeway and get a tow truck to take it away and someone to drive 75 miles to come pick us up. Really scary experience and very poor service

When I arrived at the budget location to pick up my car, I was told that they were on a waitlist, even though I had made a reservation well in advance, and that it would be at least two hours if I was even able to get my car. It ended up being two hours after my scheduled pickup when I was called and offered a truck, which I did not reserve, but had to take because I was now very late for beginning my trip. Terrible service and an unconscionable way to operate a business.

Having a reservation does not mean you will actually get a car! I made the reservation and had my confirmation number for the vehicle that I needed and I was there early to pick it up and I was told that they do not have any vehicles for me to take. I was scheduled to leave for a 10 hour drive from Hertz and this set my entire business trip off schedule.

They only had electric cars to rent. Teslas may be good for city rentals, but we were driving to another state and charging an e vehicle takes way too long. We almost missed our flight as we were told it takes 20 minutes to charge, but was more like 45 and we had to charge it three times. Horrible experience

On the whole, our experience was positive. I was disappointed however that we were told the vehicle we'd be renting had 7/8 of a full tank and that we should be returning the vehicle with the same amount of fuel. Filling a tank to 7/8 can of course be problematic and not as straight forward as filling a full tank. When we took off with the vehicle we noticed that it wasn't 7/8 full but rather 1/8 full and the gas light came on about 30 min after having left the rental location. We captured this information and tried to contact the rental location to explain the situation, but nobody was available to take our call. Needless to say we returned the vehicle with 7/8 of a full tank and asked the second location if we could be reimbursed the cost of the difference between 1/8 and 7/8 of a full tank. We were told that unfortunately there was nothing they could do but to contact customer service. When I contacted customer service and explained the situation I was reimbursed $50.00 for our troubles. So all-in-all a good experience, but could have been better. Would know better for next time and would still rent with AVIS.

For the drop off at thr airport, no one was at the counter from 8:30 - 9:00am. I had to leave the key in the lock box with a note. The car had a smoke smell and made my clothes smelled weird. It was muddy on the outside and when picking up the car there was no one to talk to about the condition of the car. I had to get on my way, so I left.

Support local companies! If you rent a car in NO, you need to take the shuttle to the rental car agency lot. Ace is just across the street from the big companies. Their prices are far better and the personal experience is nice. Once in the rental lot, Steve came to pick us up immediately. He shuttled us over to the Ace lot and within minutes I was driving away with just what I wanted. Location and accessibility was easy and convenient. Return of car just as easy. I will always rent from Ace while in NO. Thank you Steve.

Didn’t appreciate a $60.24 car rental to be $190.94 for under 24 hour car rental returned with full gas and 30 minutes early! Ridiculous!! And to get a refund, I have to submit receipts and couldn’t even talk to a customer service representative. Sorry business behavior.

We arrived with our confirmation at the time of pick up and the line was 2 hours long. For them to then tell us that there was no cars available. We called Priceline to dispute our reservation and Priceline told us they had to first get the car rental company story. Horrible experience. Horrible customer service.

I didn’t like anything. I showed up at 6 am when the internet said they opened. The worker arrived at 8 am. I had reserved a car online, yet was told they weren’t allowing same day, one way rentals, which was not communicated on the website. I neither had a good experience, nor left there with a car that was clearly on the lot. I could accept the non same day rental policy. It’s hard to wait in line for two hours because they didn’t open on time, to only not receive an automobile. I lost $22 to Kayak for the pleasure of having this horrendous experience.
