Far too large to cover in a single visit, the United States of America has more tourist appeal and natural attractions than any other place on earth. When planning a motoring holiday in the USA, the best approach is to concentrate on a specific state and base yourself in a major city such as Miami (for Florida) or Los Angeles (for California), for instance. The USA is home to some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world and the whole country is blessed with many iconic sights to see, including the famous Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and Yellowstone National Park. Each state and individual city boasts its own unique photo opportunities, such as the chance to take a selfie in front of the Statue of Liberty in New York or the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. And if you're travelling with kids, then it would be a crime to book a car hire in the USA without planning to spend a day or two at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, arguably the best theme park on the planet.

" I have rented vehicles in the USA through autoeurope many times . As above complaint re the experience with budget, i will hold back my comments about the experience with autoeurope depending on your response. "
" I booked and paid for a Ford Edge (or similar) rental to be picked up at Charleston Airport. I requested a vehicle with SatNav and agreed to pay locally for this. I advised that it would be 22:00 hours when we picked up. On arrival at the rental desk at 22:00 after 14 hours travelling from UK and being awake at that point for almost 24 hours, I was advised that there were no vehicles left with SatNav and I would either have to take a 'sedan' or pay additional for a prestige SUV as that was all that was available. Given we had travelled for 14 hours and then had a further 1 hour drive to our destination, I agreed to take the upgraded vehicle and pay the extra. The original vehicle cost £426 and the SatNav was an additional £14 per day to pay locally (about $258) which I fully expected to pay but I ended up paying an additional $558 taking the full cost of the vehicle up by an additional $300 (another £225) on top of the SatNav cost. All in all I paid £426 +£196 +£226 = £848. When we got in to the vehicle, it smelt really offensive- like old tobacco/smoke . However, given the trouble we had to get the car and the further 1 hour drive ahead after a very long day travelling, we took the vehicle and hoped for the best. I will pick up separately with budget about the cleanliness of the vehicle but I wanted to complain to you, as my contract for the vehicle was with you for the vehicle we had requested and paid for.

" Miami Airport no dedicated access point, shared with Avis. With only 3 in front of me it took an hour to get to the desk representative. No apology for the wait, customer service skills not apparent. I was told I didn't have the right insurance and need to buy additional insurance, although I thought I had bought from you a full insured car. Insisting no insurance no car. Then as no cars available on her screen so we were sent downstairs to garage. One person available with no cars and complaining he had been alone all day and had no stock. Two in front of me in the queue suddenly turned to 10 with 7 behind me, all wanting a car and no cars available. An altercation then occurred and the agent barricaded himself into the office awaiting intervention from a superior. Approx an hour later a SUV was found for us and we could move off. You will note though from the condition above this was not their most prestigious vehicle, but we didn't want to wait any longer having flown for 9 1/2 hours before. I have to say I am a frequent user of you platform and think it's great Thrifty on this occasion did not represent you well. This is the worst experience I have ever had when renting a car "

" This rental was not such a satisfactory one (which is a shame, since I have had good experience with AutoEurope in the past). First of all, the lady at the counter was perplexed when she saw the AutoEurope voucher, claiming to have never heard of them before. Then she said that the "free tank of fuel" was not registered on Budget's systems, so I had to return the tank full rather than the "as empty as possible" which had been quoted by AutoEurope. Essentially, you guys owe me the money for a full tank. The estimated cost of the one-way fee was off by about $60 as well. This, plus the fuel cost made what might have been a decently priced rental into a bit of a rip-off in the end. I will probably be looking elsewhere for rentals in the future. "

I contacted them and they advised me that I should speak to your helpline number because my contract was in the first instance with you. So I did and then your agent said he would send Sixt an advisory email / message and he duly did so. It just appeared at this stage from my point of view that there was a disconnect between the left and right hands in the rental administration. "

" Communication with Budget has been very poor. I will be very disappointed if Budget are found to have overcharged us for the hire of a car seat and will want reimbursement for the overcharge. Overall a very disappointing experience and puts a dampener on what had been a very special holiday "
" I am very disappointed with the service provided by Budget. I am still trying to get an answer to possible overcharge of local costs for a hired child seat. Charge $186.38 when we expected the cost to be no more than $65. The time taken to process at Tampa airport was lengthy. Not enough staff to cope with the number of customers waiting to pick up cars. There was then a second lengthy wait to pick up the child seat. The vehicle was not of a high quality. The interior was very shoddy and not particular clean. The back door of the vehicle driver side never opened during the entirety of the car hire. All in all a very disappointing experience and still awaiting a response regarding possible overcharge by local budget office. Amy help in trying to resolve this issue would be much appreciated. "

" Autoæeurope has a responsibility towards us customers and should protect us from companies like flextogo. I feel terribly let down by autoeurope. As above: Dreadful, dreadful experience. I would never ever book a car from flextogo again. Unfortunately autoæeurope brokers a company called "Flextogo". On 31.7.2025 I wanted to pick up a car at Cologne airport from flextogo. I had arrived about 90 minutes after the pickup time I had given. I never thought that this would matter since I had already paid about £391. I was then told by flextogo staff that my booking had become invalid and that I had lost the car and the about £391 since I had arrived more than 59 minutes after the requested pickup time. Allegedly, this is in the company's T&O but the employees were unable to show this to me. In any case I was told that I could still have the same car but I would have to pay again about £391. This would have brought the car rental to about £782 instead of £391. I then spoke to someone from Autoæeurope who at first told me that their was nothing he could do. Eventually he agreed to refund me £301, which means that I paid about £90 for nothing. He also offered me another car for about £800 minus the about £391 I had paid from another car rental. Unfortunately I had failed to read flextogo reviews which are discouraging. I also feel scammed by flextogo despite they probably legally being in the right. I think that this is a terrible business attitude by flextogo and I also think that it is terrible that Autoæeurope supports such a company by bringing it business. At the end we used public transport since I did not want to get a car from flextogo because of my experience and the very poor online reviews I read. I know that I should have done this earlier but I never imagined that a company would have such a T&C. Since then I used a car from Buchbinder when I was given an excellent service. When I mentioned the flextogo practice to the buchbinder staff, I was told that they do not do this. I actually had arrived 90 minutes before my booked time and was given a car from the buchbinder staff without problems. It is terrible that autoæeurope supports flextogo by bringing them business, that I had to pay £90 for getting nothing and that my family and I had to endure such a distress. DO not be fouled by the cheaper flextogo rates. "

" Auto Europe was fine all the paperwork etc was fine the issue was the lack of an 8 seater car. "
" booked an 8 seater, on getting to desk was told they did not have any 8 seaters and would I prefer a 7 seater SUV or a 12 seater minibus. as i needed 8 seats i said i would take the minibus was about to have that checked and they found an 8 seater, we were told location and went and loaded luggage and our 4 guests, 3 more were join in a week, got to villa and the next morning found the 8th seat was a base and seatbelt but no chair. so in effect a 7 seater. called them and thy had none to swap, luckily our 3 other members joining later had a car booked but wanted to save on parking at the parks, this was then back to the 2 cars as originally planned, if a fully working 8 seater is scarce then maybe they should have more in stock. did not ruin the trip but made it cost more as the 8 seater was more to book and additional car parking for 2 weeks at the parks was another £390 as well.

" No problems with Auto Europe, just disappointed with Alamo, and the fact that we wasted quite a bit of time and money travelling to Orlando airport, and another Alamo agency 10 miles away from our location, as we had been assured we would be able to exchange the vehicle for a matching size of vehicle. We needed the same size, not smaller, as we would then struggle to get our cases etc back in for the return journey from Orlando to Tampa airport. "
" We had an issue after 3 days of the hire period (3 weeks in total) whereby the key fob stopped working. This meant we had to use the key within the fob to open/lock the doors, but when opening would set the alarm off every time. Very frustrating and noisy. We contacted Alamo who directed us to various agents with a view to changing the car. We arrived at 2 separate rental stations and were told they did not have any cars available to match what we had (7 seater), even though we were told on the phone that we would be able to collect a new car. I contacted Alamo management via email and explained the above. No further effort was made to help the situation. We did incur quite a few costs buying batteries in the hope that would fix the problem, but this did not. Also travelling to the car rental agents to hopefully swap the car, we travelled through quite a few tolls which we have now been billed for. Overall it has been quite an annoying experience. "

" I don't believe auto Europe could have done much more as agents but I do not think thrifty is a good firm to partner with. "
" Ended with a five year old 15 seater which was not very clean and seats were stained.I was told by the representative that the vehicle was brand new. I was told there wasn't any cars like I requested. This was extremely difficult to get in and out of and none of the seats appeared to fold. I ended up having to hoist cases into the back. My children had to struggle with me. I am disabled. There was no tat nav which I asked for. "

" The most impressive part was when I called auto-europe for some advice when booking (about taking the car to Canada). The agent on the phone was extremely well informed and helpful and I felt she was very much 'on my side'. "
" The experience was very good overall. But I believe I was overcharged 'extras' at the end, amounting to 30% of the overall costs. This was not broken down or explained, and there was no simple way to challenge it or get an explanation. When everything else went so well it's a shame to end on that note. It would be better to add a link with the final e-receipt enabling queries to be answered easily. "

" Nothing I can say really as once booked I didn't have any reason to change the booking or any further contact with AE so from that point of view everything was perfect. "
" On collection I was advised I could report any additional damage via the Sixt Portal which I duly did but the extra damage reported never showed. I sent a separate Email out of precaution at that point noting I had a full video of the condition of the vehicle as in addition to external damage not showing on the condition report, the parcel shelf for the boot was missing. In the Florida heat that was a real pain as couldn't ever really leave anything in the boot of the car both due to the heat and would have been on show. Might sound ungrateful but an X6 is a coupe so whilst technically an SUV, which is what I had booked, it meant I had to put one case on the rear seat. As we are a family of 3 we managed but it wasn't ideal. I had anticipated an X5 which would no doubt have accommodated the 4 cases we had with us. Every tyre on the car was a different make, from recollection some were all season tyres and some summer. Being brutally honest I would have expected same tyres on each axle as a minimum. That said collection was slick and the representative helpful and friendly. Return which was at the airport could have been a little easier if more staff on, it seemed to be one guy dealing with everything. He was understandably keen for me to sign off on the car on return but I felt I needed to film the condition carefully as the additional damage I had reported on collection had not shown in the App. Overall I'm not put off from using either AE or Sixt again just a few issues that Sixt could do better on.

" AutoEurope was great for pricing, but in the future I'd probably take a different avenue to ensure that I get the vehicle I reserved. In most cases I'd rather pay a little more and avoid disappointment when picking up the car. "
" There were two issues with Hertz. One, that the car reserved was unavailable (as were all similar cars). The only option was to take a large SUV, which did not provide a pleasant driving experience. The second issue is that they still tried to sell me a tank of fuel and GPS, despite the fact that the car comes equipped with GPS as standard and the tank of fuel was already paid for. "

" The AutoEurope side of things was fine, it was Thrifty terminal staff that let the process down. "
" The Thrifty staff at the collections desk were terrible, I thought I had all the insurance I needed but felt pressured into taking more. Then he added on a fuel voucher, then he was talling me about the toll pass, but decided we did not need this as not travelling far, he told me all the toll booths had staff & I could pay cash if we needed to use them . We had tolls on the way from the airport to where we were staying, we paid cash but on the final toll there was no staff so had no choice but to drive through, so I have no idea how this will manifest. He then gave us the the car lot number where we could find the car & directions on how to find it, we went over to the collection garage looking for the car, it was very hot and we were very tired from a long day travelling, we could not find the lot number - so went to the Thrifty desk in the garage - the guy from the terminal had assigned us a car in Terminal C we were in Terminal A - we'd never have found it! Overal NOT impressed with Thrifty and would think twice about using them in the future. I thought the rpice I paid AutoEurope was a good price but with the add-ons that Thrifty made me feel I needed it was such a good deal. "

I was a little apprehensive about using them as back in 2022, the vehicle we hired, a Suburban 7/8 seater had a issue with the oil warning light on. I went back to the hire desk and informed them and asked if there transport division could look at it and was told they didn't have one!. The lady behind the desk did her best in finding another one but it was was at Orlando international airport. I was concerned about driving that distance so in the end I decided to drive it to the local gas station and buy oil for it myself at my expense!. I did email them about my experience but sadly heard nothing from them. Anyway, second time around totally different. Well done "

" The rental was reserved from July 19th to August 1st. However, my flight was delayed and I subsequently missed the connecting flight to O'Hare airport. My rental was paid through AutoEurope, and when I called to update Budget in the US, I was told that they would need AutoEurope to contact them, as they held the reservation. AutoEurope kindly contacted Budget on two occasions to keep them updated. When I arrived at O'Hare Airport on 20th July and picked up the car, the reservation was honoured, and my rental, voucher was accepted. The only issue was an excessive charge for prepaid tolls which I immediately contacted your customer service about. I was assured that the charge was removed, but I was in for a bigger shock when I finally received the rental invoice / receipt, as I had been charged $2227.84 for the rental period, and that charge is still showing in my account despite several emails back and forth to your agents who claim that the charges were removed. I have never had a car rental charge of this amount in all my 60 plus years.

I have raised with Hertz to request a full refund as the car was unfit for purpose and not as described. "

Every time we've used Thrifty or Dollar we have had to wait in line from 15 minutes to a hour to talk to counter staff and then we've had to wait up to 3 hours before our car is available. They are always less expensive than other rental companies, but it really puts us off them. "

" Please see above comments. Apart from these the overall experience was acceptable for myself as driver, but challenging for my passengers due to lack of vehicle suitability. "
" Booked a FULL-SIZE vehicle to cater for 5 adult passengers and luggage. Expectation from all correspondence was FORD EXPEDITION or NISSAN ARMADA. I was travelling with a group of 21 people and we were hiring 4 vehicles in total all similar. My colleagues were given the keys for 3 FORD EXPEDITIONS, I expected the same. I was the last person to collect as I arrived early and was told to come back to the airport at the agreed time, 90 minutes later. I had to get a taxi to my hotel then hotel shuttle back to the airport. I was allocated a HYUNDAI PALISADE, which although had the correct configuration of seating was very much smaller than FULL SIZE. I was describe this vehicle as MID-SIZE. I opted to take the vehicle as was expected to attend a welcome event at our hotel as soon as arrival back at the hotel. I became aware the following day that the vehicle was going to prove to be less than ideal for 5 adults and suitcases, once we started to prepare to travel to Montana (500 miles). As we were on a strict schedule of visits and meetings, there was no time to re-visit the Dollar Counter at Salt Lake City Airport to ask for an exchange. The reason I have scored down value for money and Efficiency of counter staff is for these reasons. The vehicle was booked well in advance, there should have been no reason not to have a more suitable vehicle nor to be knocked back due to earlier arrival. "

" Auto Europe were fine but I would advise that you review using Dollar for the way they are charging for damage that was previously there "
" My daughters car was very dented with scuffed wheels and when they returned the vehicle they are trying to charge them for the damage - luckily enough they took photos of the car before collecting so hopefully Dollar do the right thing - very disappointing from Dollar as we have used them on previous trips but never again and since we have returned home we have heard so many horror stories about Dollar "

" We have used Auto Europe several times in the past, and not had a problem. Unfortunately the latest experience was not very good. "
" I was told that i needed a Toll Pass, as the toll booths were not manned, and I couldn`t pay with cash. This added considerably to the cost of the rental. When picking up the vehicle, the first one was double booked. We were allocated a second vehicle , and this had to warning lights on in the instrument cluster, and was also double booked. We then had to wait approximately 35 minutes in the car park waiting for a third vehicle to be allocated. Not very impressed ! "

" AutoEurope were great. Thrifty are a dishonest company who I will never deal with again- I would much rather pay slightly more and avoid the hour- long wait st the counter and the hard-sell and attempt to steal my money by adding insurance which I already repeatedly declined. "
" Had to wait over an hour in line at the Thrifty desk - there was only one representative present. I clearly declined all additional insurances, but the Thrifty staff member included over $200 additional insurances to my credit card, despite me making it very clear I did not want this. It was only when I asked to check the total amount due that I noticed this additional charge and insisted it be removed. After this, the staff member's attitude changed completely - from being pleasant and friendly, to being rude and hurried. Indeed, she actually calls the next group to the desk before we had even concluded our business. I will never rent from Thrifty again - they deliberately included additional costs which I specifically declined - they are a dishonest company. This is the only reason they do not allow customers to go straight to the garage and select a car - because they want to up sell and steal from customers at the desk, generally after customers have just come from a long flight and are tired and seen as easy targets. I must stress, the service I received from AutoEurope was excellent - it is Thrifty who I have a major issue with. "

" Usually vehicles are fairly new and in good condition however the Tahoe we were allocated was absolutely filthy. Unfortunately it is difficult to see this in the dark airport and we were very tired so only realised as we left the airport. I spent three hours cleaning it the next day. On a day of rain we also found the wiper to be broken. The catalytic converter also smelled terrible. The car had accumulated a lot of miles sbout 40 thousand and obviously hadn't been serviced as on the dash it kept saying needs wiper fluid replenishment. I was not pleased as we choose Alamo because although more expensive are usually of much better quality. I have booked again but I am hoping this does not happen again as I will be looking elsewhere if it does. Very disappointing! "

Secondly, Budget Sales Rep told us we needed to have a toll pass to travel in California, it was necessary due to the toll system not allowing cash/card payments. Cars had to be registered. We accepted this and having driven 2500 miles did not hit a single toll! We were charged nearly $120 for what was in effect a lie. When I got back to the UK and rang Budget customer care to complain.

" Very smooth booking experience and great flexibility up until very close to the trip; generally clear correspondence about costs (despite the hiccup on this occasion) "
" I booked a hire that said on the AutoEurope page that additional drivers were included. When I arrived at the booking desk, we were charged USD 57 to add an additional driver for the period of the hire. Their system was not permitting the addition of another driver (aged 31) without charge and the rental voucher was unclear. In the "Your rental includes" section it stated "All additional drivers age 25 and over". However, in the "Additional fees to be paid locally, if required" section it stated "Additional drivers: Included" which the service desk attendant used to justify the additional charge. Unfortunately the pick-up was at around 22:00 local time (San Francisco), which is outside of the hours that your phone service is available. "

The person at the car park counter to collect the car was not very helpful and told me that there was a selection of vehicles present including the one I specifically booked and wanted. This was not true as there was only one vehicle present which was a mustang convertible. I did not want this vehicle as I wanted what I booked or similar (dodge challenger). Staff said that is now all they have (within 2 'minutes of the previous conversation) they would enquire if any were coming back in or if I could pay to upgrade but never came back. I looked for them but to no avail. They had no real knowledge of the vehicles and avoided helping.

" It was not a nice experience at the front desk, as stated. However, our vehicle was provided to us quickly at the collection point and the staff there were very helpful. The return was also a smooth process, and without hassle. "
" When we took out the rental, we took out the gold package, which meant to us that we were covered in everything that we needed. However, on getting to the counter to redeem our voucher, that woman dealing with us tried to get us to purchase add-ins for everything. This included upgrading to a bigger vehicle (we already had a 7 seater), extra breakdown cover etc. We refused everything, stating that if something was wrong with the vehicle that was not our fault, we knew we would be covered. She then moved onto a Sun Pass to get us through tolls, stating that if we didn't have one that we would be fined. We explained that we used the cash booths and so we didn't need to purchase a pass, as we did not cross many tolls at all. She then told us that cash payments on tolls were no longer an option, and again pushed for the Sun Pass. Worried that we would receive hefty fines on our credit card, we felt we had no option but to purchase one. That came to approx $250. However, when we got onto the highway and reached a toll booth, we saw that cash payment was still an option and we felt lied to in order for her to make a sale. This is unacceptable for a Dollar representative, who's word we trusted. If we hadn't have had previous knowledge about renting a vehicle from Orlando airport, I feel she would have been able to charge us a lot more, on top of what we already paid. "

The agent suggest we could come back the following day as a convertible may have been returned by another customer.

We had just arrived from the UK for our daughter's university graduation, and while finding the Thrifty desk wasn't immediately obvious (it's located within the Dollar rental office), the staff were very helpful and made the process easy. After a short wait, our vehicle was ready and we were directed to the correct bay. We were pleased with the 7-seater provided--it fit our family of five and all our luggage comfortably. While the interior could've used a bit more cleaning, the car overall was in good condition. My only slight confusion came a few days in when I needed to refuel. Coming from the UK, I wasn't entirely sure which type of gas/petrol the vehicle required. I couldn't find confirmation on the fuel cap, in the manual, or anywhere else in the car. Since it clearly wasn't a diesel, I filled the tank with 87 Regular and hoped for the best--which worked out fine. In hindsight, I should have asked the Thrifty staff before leaving, but it would be helpful if this information was provided upfront. Drop-off was just as smooth, and despite that small hiccup, we would definitely consider using Thrifty again at Santa Ana Airport. "

" On the whole auto Europe is fine but this has dampened my experience with them for pushing such an awful company. "
" Queue at the car collection was huge with only 3/4 people on the counter. The member of staff who served us was great however. The real issue was when we returned the car. Initially, everything was fine. However, 2 days later we still hadn't received the deposit back and saw that Thrifty were trying to take the same amount of money again. OVER £500. Trying to get someone on the phone at thrifty was pretty much impossible. I had to argue with the reservations team to put me through to a real person rather than filling in a form where a reply takes 3-5 days... When I eventually spoke to someone they admitted the accidental charge but informed us we wouldn't be getting the money back for FIVE DAYS. This is completely unacceptable and ruined the end of our trip as we still had a couple of days remaining and hadn't budgeted losing £500. "

" The Contract note said we had to call Auto Europe if going to be late at pick up. As our flight was cancelled we were very late. However, Auto Europe was closed and I did not have a US phone so had to borrow one to call SIXT. On emailing Auto Europe you said that being late was not an issue in USA. That would have been nice to know in advance as it caused a lot of stress and required asking a stranger to borrow their phone. Perhaps you can alter your communication for USA rentals? "

" Auto Europe intro'd me to a shocking Thrifty experience - you guys have to take some blame. "
" Shocking. Queued for over an hour at the desk. There were far too few counter staff for all the bookings they had at that time. The actual car pick up was chaos. It took another 30 minutes to be given the right car and actually exit the car park. Even the staff admitted that they were totally overwhelmed. The fuel tank was only 3/4 full. Stupidly I forgot to check in the general craziness. before handing the car back I refuelled to a full tank (at the airport). Now looking at the final bill Thrifty have charged for a fuel top up. So the summary is - incompetent, timewasting and deceitful. A truly dreadful experience. "

The car was not fit for hire, one rear seat belt faulty, fully extended and not retracting, tucked behind the reas seat back. On starting the car alarm tones and warnings from the dashboard for low tyre pressure and oil change required. The luggage cover in the boot was broken and jammed down the back of the rear seats protruding above the seat backs obstructing the view through the rear view mirror. The exterior was in poor condition, dents, scrapes, scratches and the front skirt split. The car was smaller than the vehicle I booked, it was the size of my wife's Ford Puma. I found a attendant and told him of the problems, he told me to go back to the rental desk and complain or tell the person on the exit gate, I chose the exit gate and the attendant there told me that all the problems were listed on the system and it was good to go and if I wasn't satisfied go back to the rental desk. Clearly Budget by name budget by nature, I found a service station and sorted the tyre pressures A very disappointing experience. "

" My two considerable issues: 1) At no point did the agent who completed the rental at the counter with me offer me extra's but I have been charged extras. 2) The car had a mechanical issue from the outset. The car made a very worrying news during low speed acceleration. This made it very difficult, challenging and an issue when joining a freeway or highway. I believe this to have been a serious concern for my safety. 3) Thrifty emailed be about 48hrs after the commencement of the rental to ask how it was going. I replied with my content about the vehicle. They emailed back saying they were unable to help. Not acceptable. "

" When we were collecting the car they were trying to get us to take a car which was too small. We couldn't even fit 2 suit cases in the boot. In the end we saw a nissan rogue (which is what we had paid for) and took that which was the size we needed. "

" In order to query the additional charges of $134 that were made to my credit card, I telephoned the Budget number shown on my Rental Agreement schedule. The gentleman I spoke to explained that the $134 consisted of two elements, the first part being additional driver charges, and the second part relating to an additional charge of one day's hire fee for late return of the vehicle. I pointed out that the package we had taken with Budget included additional drivers at no extra cost, and also that I was not happy with the extortionate extra day's hire charge for returning the vehicle one day late. "
" I arrived to collect our vehicle in good time, as scheduled, at 10:00 a.m. on 07/04/25. However, no instruction nor help with operating the vehicle nor in adjusting it's various settings was offered by the Budget agent - we were simply given the key and told that it was 'the red Jeep in the parking lot' adjacent to New Haven train station. Our experience with the vehicle itself was very good - it was very comfortable, and drove very well without any issues. However, when I returned the vehicle on 15.04.25 (admittedly, we were 45 mins. late, arriving at 10:45 a.m.), I was very disappointed to see that charges of $134 had been made to my credit card, without any explanation whatsoever being given by the Budget agent.

" Im a fan of Auto Europe, zim judt disappointed with Hertz, Dollar abx Thrifty. I will continue to do business with you as your services have always been grest. Ill copy the same redponse from above as to thd experience. The vehicle I was given was not the luxury class I booked. I was given a large SUV which was not only difficult for my 80 year old mother to get in and out if... but more shocking was that it had been heavily smoked in... not cigarettes but Cannabis. It was so strong I had to drive with the windows opened. I was told there were no other cars available. It was so strong my guess would be whoever cleaned it probably smoked while cleaning it. I contacted their customer service email address with details of what had happened... no reply. A few days later I received their normal computer generated survey about the rental and I again responded in detail. This time I received s short reply that I should have reported the car had not been cleaned. I've never had a bad experience with Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty and have been a loyal customer to them fir twenty years, you should be able to see on my account with you. I'm terribly disappointed that I wasn't provided any level of support from them. I felt humiliated putting my 80 year old mother in that vehicle. She was worried people would smell it on her clothes and hair. I rented this vehicle which should have been LUXURY and visited because it was her 80th Birthday on 31 March. Other family members commented on the strong smell as well which left me further embarrassed. Possibly you could get a reply from them. I feel they owe me at the very least a credit towards my next booking. I already have the next booking through you guys booked in September and yes with them again as well. I will be booking another three week booking in the next month for either December or February as well . Their reply will govern if I remain a customer or move over to another rental provider. "

Having only 1 person on the desk dealing with people was very frustrating and I don't think I will ever rent from you in the future because of this. "

Nowhere was this made us available to us we just queued like all the other poor people. Have rented with Auto Europe and Budget on many occasions will not do so again. Would like an explanation why we had to wait 2 hours 20 minutes which is the last thing you need after a long haul flight. Very unprofessional. "

" There isn't a chance I would book with this company again and I would actively discourage others who were considering doing so. "
" After an exhausting flight we were 'upsold' toll road charges far beyond anyone would spend on toll roads. We were upsold extra coverage which, looking back, we clearly didn't need and wouldn't have taken out if we were not so exhausted. All these options should have been made available at the time of booking online but they weren't because the company relies on tired travellers in a hurry to leave. We also had to wait for a long time in the queue at the airport to collect our pre-booked car. "

I have given an 8 because although the car was pristine, I hired with GPS but could not get the Toyota GPS to work on the car as the App seemed not to understand I was the hirer and wanted the owner. This required a very long and unsuccessful conversation with 'help' line staff followed by a very inconvenient trip back to the airport to try to get it working.

" I would not recommend Dollar at Miami airport based on my experience of the drop-off. We returned the vehicle and it was given a cursory look by the agent, who then scribbled a couple of words on the agreement and said everything was fine and we were free to go. It was only when we reached security in the airport that I found the car keys in my pocket. It immediately occurred to me that this was a potential scam - how can it be possible to return a vehicle without the fuel being checked? Fortunately we had time to return to Dollar, and regrettably I had two serious arguments with staff at both the rental counter and the drop-off location. Fortunately I had the foresight to record these in case Dollar tries to fraudulently charge my credit card for "lost key", fuel or damage. I also recorded the condition of the vehicle on return and the fuel level. Please would you take this issue up with Dollar and advise me of their feedback. "

I had to switch the car off, open the door, close it and switch it back on to be able to move the button into drive or reverse. Worst car I have ever driven and hated every minute of it for the 2 weeks I had it. No alternative was available so I was stuck with a car that was far too big for what I wanted or asked for. "

" Alamo has illegally deducted fees for Roadside Assistance from our credit card without our knowledge, consent, or authorisation. Three months later, despite Alamo themselves confirming the charge was incorrectly applied, issuing a claim number for the refund upon returning the car, they are now refusing to process it. Their latest excuse? They claim they never took the money--even though I have provided a clear credit card statement showing the transaction labelled as RSA from Alamo. Instead of resolving their own mistake, they've dismissed responsibility and told us to dispute it with our bank. This isn't the only issue. We needed to extend our stay in the USA and visited Alamo at Palm Springs Airport to see if we could keep our existing rental car for the additional days. We spoke directly with the manager, who assured us that, since it was a 30-day rental, the only way to extend it was to end the current agreement early and start a new one that same day. We agreed, despite losing six days from the original agreement, but she explicitly told us we would be refunded for the unused days as we weren't returning the car but simply extending the rental on a new contract. Now, Alamo has gone back on their word yet again, claiming they will only refund unused days in cases of death or serious illness--despite the fact that we kept the same car and had an active rental agreement for a longer period. Alamo's customer service has been absolutely appalling. We have been lied to, given the runaround, and had funds unlawfully taken from our credit card. Their behaviour is completely unacceptable, and their refusal to resolve these issues speaks volumes about their lack of integrity. "

The bodywork was marked/scratched on nearly. every panel and part of door handle was missing. For a relatively low mileage car it was looking a bit worse for wear. In addition the interior smelled stale and sweaty.

" I'm not knocking Budget themselves, I'm sure other sites operate a better service. However the Manhattan, NY branch does let the brand down. The front desk operators need a little customer care etiquette, although the car was hoovered inside the glove box and other interior compartments were filthy with Biscuit crumbs and other rubbish inside. The car wasn't washed with chalk marks all over the car indicating previous damage and writing on the outer glass also showing damage. The budget employee handing over the vehicle wasn't customer friendly and didn't invite me over to inspect the vehicle, she just took the paperwork from me, signed it and told me the vehicle was ready to drive away. I did inspect the vehicle to make sure the damage report matched the damage on the car though. Other than that the vehicle was ideal for my family use. "

I refused, and he then reluctantly found another 4-door car which he said was compact but seemed a little small - considering that I have been going to the USA for the last 15 years and always had compact. He said alternative was to upgrade to standard and pay addition cost. So I felt that I had to accept the small car. Not sure if this was a ruse to get me to upgrade or not. Agent was most unsympathetic and unhelpful. Said that now assign cars at the desk rather than customer pick car from the rank as too many people taking wrong cars (says more about their lack of process as there are several checks made before leaving garage).

At T3 Orlando airport on Tursday November , 2024 at about 8PM. The Thifty counterstaff left his desk and almost assualted a customer who complained about the totally unacceptable wait times. Fight was only avoided as the customer was a young tall male with a baby and the Thifty representative was an older, much smaller male. This was very entertaining for everyone in the general vicinity. This person needs to be fired and Thifty need to sort out the wait times or they will never gain repeat business. "

" Kept waiting more than 20 mins at the pick up point for rental shuttle at Washington Dulles airport. All other rental companies had a virtually continuous flow of buses to pick up customers. Then treated me like a worthless customer by the check in staff - they claimed my car was no longer there as I was 3 hours late - in fact I was 2hrs 20 mins which also included the 20 mins plus waiting time for the airport pick up. I told the representative that I was delayed because flight was delayed from London due to a tyre having to be replaced on the aircraft. Car in class I booked not available due to delay so they offered to upgrade me but I had to pay more despite paying for my rental up front - would not let me have the car for the same price. Said my car was in lowest class so nothing available in a lower class. The pressure from the staff was very strong and aggressive. However I stood my ground and after a significant time and the rep talking to his manager I finally got a car for the price already paid. What was also interesting was that the same tactic was also employed on another customer just as I was finishing up - shameful behaviour. One of the worst experiences ever renting a car - totally and utterly unacceptable behaviour. Scam artists / rip off merchants. "

I showed them the level of cover that was on my email from you, but he was dismissive and said that it wasn't on his screen - so no cover. He pointed out that it was my fault that I had gone through a third party and I should have booked directly with them. He also said that if one tyre was punctured, we had to pay for a pair, because of inbalance of the axle. "

They also asked me if I wanted to pay for a full tank of fuel and return car empty which I agreed to do. On returning the car I was told to just leave the keys in the ignition and go .Nobody would check the car over with me and nobody confirmed what was outstanding for the fuel or tolls etc. On checking my bank statement the next day I found I had been charged £182.90 plus a further £45.27 toll charges. I sent an email immediately querying this and have received no response from dollar whatsoever.

" Car collection from the female Avis staff member in the car park (NOT the male Avis desk staff member) was highly frustrating and unsatisfactory. The first car we were allocated had not had its interior cleaned and had dog hairs all over so we rejected it. The second car she allocated was electric (she did not advise us of this, we only found out by discovering the charging cables and realising we could only fit one suitcase in the restricted boot/trunk space.) We knew the rural towns we would be visiting would not have fast electric charging facilities so we rejected this car too, at which point she retorted "well if you don't take this car it could be 30 minutes before another car is brought round". We said we'd wait, and she allocated a replacement car immediately! The third car was enormous (had three rows of seats!) and had an old pizza crust on the floor but keen to start our onward journey we took it anyway. The attitude of the female Avis staff member in the car park kiosk was dreadful, and hence our customer service experience was poor. "

" Picked up the car in New Orleans Canal St branch. The first car they allocated to me had a spacesaver spare on one wheel. The second car was a two year old 40,000 mile Nissan Murano with a dent in every panel and a chip in the windscreen. It also needed a proper clean inside the windows in particular were filthy. I accepted it because by now I was running late and I had zero excess cover otherwise it would have taken 10 minutes just to log the dents and scratches.

" I always rent my car from Auto Europe, because I always truted your car rental company. As I stated before, I thought I bought premium coverage with Auto Europe Car Rent, but this time, the Dollars counter staff told me that I didn't buy it, just regular coverage. When I was trying to show him my rental agreement, he waved his hand and told me that I was not covered by the Premium coverage, not even wanted to look at my agreement, insisted that I'm not cover under premium coverage. All these years, every time I rent car from Auto Europe, I always bought Premium Coverage because I know how important it's to have adequate insurance cover, and Auto Europe never disappoint me, but this time I was let down by Auto Europe or thecounter staff at Dollars not telling the truth. "
" We're pressured and frightened into taking extra premium insurance, to me which I thought unnecessary. I thought I bought premium coverage when I rented the car from Auto Europe each time, but the counter staff insisted that I only bought the regular coverage, which did not cover collision and damages, and others, so I had to buy their premium coverage. To me, either Dollars rental staff is not honest or Auto Europe did not cover me with the premium coverage. Especially we just landed and went to the car rental counter, my friend new to USA, and as the other driver, was worried, so we ended up paying extra daily payment for Premium coverage. We will never rent Dollars car anymore, with such staff working in their company. He wasn't even friendly and helpful, no smile until we bought the insurance. "

" Although I completed the self check in, the website informed me that there was no car available of the type I had requested. I find this unacceptable as I had booked the car months in advance. After a very long wait at the airport in the queue, I was given a car that required maintenance on the third day of my rental. I had to go to Norfolk airport and once again wait in a very long queue with rude counter staff who incorrectly sent me to the parking area. Thankfully the second car I received had no mechanical faults but the inside of the windscreen was dirty like it had been coated with grease or something. "

I then looked at your booking voucher, and it said: "* If the vehicle is returned more than 12 hours after the scheduled drop off time, the local daily rate plus a fee of $12 USD per day with a maximum fee of $60 USD. A rental deviation fee of $10 USD will also be charged in the event of later return or extension." In fact, I was charged $82. Would you clarify why, please? Many thanks. "

" I rented the car in London for pickup in Miami. Thrifty would not honor the price paid to AutoEurope saying that the price was only an overseas promotion and my US driver's license did not qualify. I was denied a refund and forced to rent a car elsewhere. My home address in Florida was listed on the contract. Either the denial of US residents was not disclosed or in tiny print in the details. The rental should have been denied before payment based on my home address. I am not at all happy with AutoEurope, and would like a review of my requested refund. Thanks. "

We set off with our luggage and two young kids to the other terminal where they then said they didn't have any cars and we shouldn't have been sent there. We asked for a manager who didn't turn up. It was now about 2am UK time after flying all day and our two young children were in floods of tears as they were so exhausted. The staff were rude and unhelpful until one lady took pity on us and managed to find a car that was apparently better than the one we had booked (so the other staff hadn't want to give it to us). We eventually got the car and it absolutely stunk of cigarette smoke and was flashing with an alert that it needed oil added. I messaged Thrifty on instagram who were incredibly unhelpful. We drove around in a smelly car all week (we bought an air freshener but even that couldn't drown out the putrid smell), worrying it would break down.

" Auto Europe were good as always. The price was right and all the rental terms are arrangements were clear. Hertz were the problem and I doubt I'll rent from them again given the blatant disregard for customer satistaction and cost and inconvenience they caused me "
" When collecting the car, and I appreciate I was 2hours later than I'd booked, there was no vehicle available and I had to wait 35 mins for Hertz to find one. The car that arrived was a little bigger than I'd booked but that was okay, it also had some damage - dents front, back and on the roof and the shark fin antennae on the roof was sellotaped on. The real issue was when I returned the car, which was to a different office to where I collected it. That office was next to SeaWorld as I was going in there for the day from their opening time at 0900. It turned out that the office I was to return to was closed by Hertz around 2 years ago. I called the numbers that Hertz had given me for the collection and drop off offices but both came back with a 'number does not exist' message so I had to call a Hertz national helpline. They directed me to take the car back to where I had collected it and assured me there would be someone there from 0800 - it was now 0830 and I was due to be at a theme park at 0900. When I got to the new drop off location it was closed and hotel staff said that Hertz do not come in until around 1030. The hotel staff were very helpful and after more failed phone calls from me and them to Hertz, they agreed to take the keys from me and look after the car until the Hertz rep arrived. I then had to get an Uber to take me back to Seaworld. All in, I lost 1.5 hours from my day and the surcharge I paid to return the car to a different location. I also had to pay for the Uber. Hertz sent me an email survey which I completed and confiemed at the end that I wanted someone to contact me about the poor rental experience, but nobody has, "

" Budget and Avis are my first choice in car hire - can't believe I just wrote that! I am in the Budget Fastbreak program.... after securing my booking with Auto Europe I email and phone Budget to ask if they could apply my booking to my Fastbreak (this is ONLY to avoid the one and a half hour wait at the desk at Orlando). Something that has been done for me in the past by Avis with my Avis Preferred membership. However BUDGET say NO as the booking is with Auto Europe and refer me to AE - Of course AE tell me they can't do anything about that. Its forgotten about , then a couple of weeks before pick-up Budget send me numerous "invitations" by email, to sign up with their "Preregister" to save time at airport!!. I fill in the web application with all the details on-line which include all Credit card details. THEN their web page states the application failed - NO REASON given! After a while on the phone Budget reps says that "The Preregister" can't be done with the booking made with Auto Europe!! OK then...but WHY send out these emails to AE customers. Why fail the web form application with NO reason given. Poor web site management? "
" The wait at the Budget Counter wasn't too bad but was unnecessary. I am in the Budget Fastbreak program and Budget also "bombard" me just before the booking with numerous emails asking me to preregister only to find out that it is not allowed with Auto Europe customers. I have emailled Budget and Auto Europe about this and also previously but I am just wasting my time !!!

When i presented this at their Sixt checkin counter the Lady told me that paper licenses were no longer accepted by Sixt and it said that on the website. When I told her there was no such statement she then changed tack and said that I had defaced the license (I had some sellotape on the folds due to the age of the license but otherwise it was intact). I explained that Alamo and Dollar had no issues such as this previously and she then said she would photo the license and send to her Manager for a decision. The Manager said they would accept the licence but due to the additional risk i posed I would have to pay $500 for additional comprehensive insurance. I explained that I was already covered thru the AutoEurope booking and I had additional insurance for wheel, undercarriage and glass taken out in the UK. She basically said pay the insurance or no rental. What a SCAM and not very moral !!! "

" Waited an hour in-line to go to the counter. Tried the online check-in, didn't work as my car was unavailable. At the counter the confirmed the SUV I requested wasn't in stock and it would be at least 1 hour wait. Settled on a minivan instead which should have been cheaper but wasn't given a refund in price difference. "

I emailed Euro Europe about this and asked for a refund of the difference only to be informed I had to go through "Customer Services" and I did but got no reply, I have 2 holiday homes in the Orlando area and make this trip 5 - 6 times a year and the people ask me about car-rental in Florida so you will loose a lot of business if no refund comes my way.

I was concerned to see that you still deal with Sixt after my dreadful experience with them in the past, but perhaps that was a one-off. I will always get quotes from Auto Europe for my car hire requirements "
" I chose Thrifty because they chose the RToyota Camry as their reference car in teh group I wanted. One wasn't offered on collection, but I chose a Kia K5, which was an excellent car. There was no hard upsell on collection for insurance or car upgrade, though I was a bit tempted by a Mustang covertible, but a 'no' was accepted. There were no problems with the car during the hire period and the return process was very smooth. "

" Having sent 2 emails to Dollar and 2 emails to Auto Europe (AE) with only a standard response from Dollar and no response from AE, I then spent almost 2 hours on the phone (several calls) to AE in America. I did eventually (it took 7 days) get a large SUV that I had ordered and paid for. I have been often traveling to America and have been since 1976, This was the worst car rental experience I have known. I can't see me going back to Orlando ever again. "
" It took over an hour to get to the booking desk. At the desk the agent (he said he was the manager) was rude, no please or thankyous. He informed that Dollar did not have any cars in my group (large SUV). Basically, he stated, take what I offer you or you can have your money back and find another car rental company. "

Not vacuumed, seats dirty, steering wheel, touch screen, buttons and dials all dirty and which we had to clean ourselves. Luggage compartment full of grit and dirt.

Also returned the vehicle three days early due to travelling home early due to an imminent hurricane , not a word of thanks . "

Went to Thrifty desk and they said Thrifty had no cars available but Hertz had. I could have waited for a long time if I had waited for internet booking in. The lady on check in desk was apologetic and efficient and got a car immediately. There is obviously a hiccup in on line check in that needs sorted. "

" The Auto europe booking process is simple and easy but I havent had any conatct reguarding my compensation. Which is disappointing. "
" All aspects of this rental were excellent except Alamo sent me out with a bald rear tyre. The tyre consequently failed during my rental luckily it was not while I was driving at speed or the consequences could have been much worse. This still required me to take time out of my trip to have the tyre changed. The tyre shop I was sent to by Alamo did not have the tyre in stock meaning I had to return the next day to have the tyre changed. When I mentioned this at vehicle handover, I was told I would be compensated 2 days rental fees to offset the days lost on the vehicle. I have still not received any compensation from Alamo or via auto Europe. "

We were going to be doing more than 1000 at that point so rang Alamo on several occasions. They advised we go to Enterprise in Lake Tahoe near to where we were staying to swap cars. We went on three separate days only to be told sorry no cars available. We had been told that there would be cars available after the weekend. Clearly there were none. We ended up having to have an oil change on the car. We ended up wasting nearly two hrs that day as a result. We felt we were being fobbed each time at Tahoe. "

Engine in car had serious problems, car bounced and struggled when in rev range of 1-3k revs. Luckily we weren't doing a lot of miles and it survived the length of our trip, would not have kept it if we were doing longer drives. Drop off was no problem because once they seen we had full insurance they couldn't care less. Scanned it in and didn't look at the car at all.

" 1. the SUV we booked was not available, offered a saloon which was not acceptable. Offered an acceptable vehicle and advised it would be a 5 - 10 minute wait. It was actually 45 minutes. Staff were not very helpful when we queried the wait. 2. Within a few days, there was a warning message that the windscreen washer reservoir was nearly empty. Surely this should have been filled before handover. 3. Several days later there was a warning message that an oil change was due. This involved phone calls to ascertain it was OK to drive until the return date. Again surely this information should have been available to AVIS in advance of the hire period and dealt with accordingly. 3. The vehicle broke down mid hire. It took a phone call of 2.5 hours to organise and the complete the paperwork for the replacement. This was an excessive amount of time ( this was due to the process not the the call handler who was very helpful). Initially we were told we would be driven to the nearest airport to collect a vehicle, a journey of 3.5 hours each way, plus a wait of 3.5 hours for the driver to reach us. Eventually, it was agreed the vehicle would be delivered to us at the same time as the original vehicle was collected. 4. The replacement vehicle averaged 21.5 mpg compared to 31.5 mpg of the original vehicle. Obviously this was an unacceptable additional expense to us. 5. The tyres on the original vehicle were a disgrace, very little tread which was obviously a concern when travel on designated roads with a gravel surface or covering of snow. "

Fortunately, someone at the collection point was much more pleasant and much more helpful. She worked for Hertz and not Thrifty - interesting. The car was ok, but 28000miles is high for a hire car.

We were offered to choose a different vehicle type, ie a Jeep or similar but this was far apart from what we reserved.

" All covered above ref Sixt. I have used Auto Europe many times and there is never usually an issue with pick up or the category of vehicle reserved. "
" On arrival there was some confusion- Sixt had a GPS reserved as extra on my order which I knew to be incorrect and not mentioned in my Auto Europe voucher. Detecting an up-sale trick Insisted it had not been ordered but would welcome one if offered without charge. The desk then told me they had to remove the extra charge and this took some time. The agent said the car would be a BMW which I was pleased about. When I reached the pick up area I was handed the keys to a Chevrolet mode that had no load cover in the trunk - not great for security. I complained to the check out guy who rand his colleague to explain that I'd expected a BMW and one with a luggage area that would not be visible to thieves. I was quickly given the keys to a BMW X1 and asked to leave them a glowing review!! The car was quite new and performed well although it's high tech dash interface was quite slow to hook up to my phone instructions each time the car started. I noticed on pick up that part of the front nearside wheel surround was missing but didn't worry about this as Sixt have a camera checkpoint in and out. On return it was very difficult to locate the car rental return area as all the road signs and also my GPS tried to send me to the rear of this area which is inaccessible. Eventually we found it by driving further around and then finding the return sign. Atlanta airport covers a vast area and it takes time to drive anywhere within this congested zone. The check-in guy was very quick and signed the car off within 3 minutes without any hassle. Overall, it was a positive experience mainly due to the car itself and the ease of driving once I had familiarised myself with the settings. "

On the drive to Palm Springs on the I10 freeway going over a speed hump it came away and was in the way of the brake and accelerator pedal. I had to stop on the hard shoulder. While in Palm Springs I went to the Hertz desk at the airport where a member noted the complaint and logged it on the system.

The chap at the desk was training a chap so a little slow. Not great after a long flight! The drivers carpet was worn. It would be useful to tell customers that if they have their charging cable then you can use CarPlay once you have paired your phone with the car and will have satnav. "

" Overall the car was what we ordered, reasonablevalue, and we enjoyed and had no problems with using it. However, we waited over 30 minutes at the Dollar counter to be served, and it was very difficult to hear/understand the Hispanic counter clerk. Also I was surprised and disappointed to hear that breakdown insurance wasn't included, as there had been no mention of this during the booking process or on the car voucher. So $140 was added to our bill....was this a scam?! Also the car we ordered was not available at Orlando terminal C, where we had landed, so we had to go to terminal B, which added yet more delay. Finally the car was in poor condition, lots of scratches and chips to the paintwork, and almost 40,000 miles on the clock. "

" I'm less likely to recommend Auto Europe to a friend than I was, this is despite me using Auto Europe for many years. Here is the issue. I booked a 'Chevy Tahoe 7 Pax or similar'. Hoping for a Tahoe, on pick-up the Hertz operative assured me in no uncertain terms, I would NEVER get a Tahoe with the booking class Auto Europe sold me which was Hertz L4. Tahoes are a Hertz booking class T. Whilst in general I was OK with the Hyundai I rented, I am interested in your opinion of whether it is OK to sell a customer like me, a 'Chevy Tahoe 7 Pax or similar' when according to Hertz it could never ever ever be a Chevy Tahoe, a Chevy Tahoe was impossible with that booking class. IMO this is a dubious practise, and I may have gone elsewhere as it was a Tahoe I wanted. Please let me know your view. "

" The communication difficulty aside, our car hire was a great success and the gentleman on the Dollar desk at Jacksonville Airport was very helpful and efficient. "
" Only one negative amidst a host of positives: our journey from JFK, in New York, to Jacksonville took six days because of multiple flight cancellations. After the first cancellation, out of courtesy, my husband called the number on the booking form to indicate that we wouldn't be able to pick up our car as planned and to re-book. The form said that the Dollar desk at Jacksonville was open until 1am. However, he used up his entire allowance for overseas calls (his cell phone has a UK number) by calling the number given and waiting for half an hour within an automated and wholly unresponsive telephone system. He was unable to speak to anyone. Fortunately, a friend in the UK was able to cancel and re-book on my behalf, on three further occasions and we were able to pick up our car without difficulty on 9th August. Please make it easier for customers to contact you when things go wrong. "

" Counter staff told me there were no Ford Explorers available and all they had were Kia Sorrentos. When I went out to the allocated Kia, there were 2 Ford Explorers parked next to it. The allocated Kia was dirty inside and out and was the worst car I've ever driven. I booked a large 7 seater vehicle and was given a 5 seater with 2 collapsible jump seats in the boot - if we'd had to use the jump seats there would have been no space for luggage. The counter staff tried to sell me extra insurance which I'd already paid for. They tried to sell me a SatNav device - the car had SatNav built in. They tried to sell me a Fastpass for toll roads at €70+ / week when I'd already told them I wouldn't be using Toll roads.

" Poor for the reasons already disclosed. On returning the car there was another huge non moving line at the desk. I put the keys in the black returns box but there was nowhere to hand over the paperwork, they wanted mileage and other details to be provided. I then had an anxious 48 hour wait to see if they would try and bill me for the marks on the car which were already present on pickup. They didn't but I wouldn't use Budget again. Cheapest is not always best! "
" Not very impressed to be honest for the following reasons. 1 - 75 minute wait in line to collect the car from Melbourne Airport Budget desk. Not ideal after an 8 hour flight with a special needs family member. 2 - Only 2 staff manning desks which is silly when they know 2 TUI flights are coming in and TUI do a lot of business with Budget 3 - It was only when the mood got a bit fractious that the "Manager" came out to help process customers as well. he served me and was good but the damage was done. 4 - The car was covered in dents and rub marks through the paint but it was impossible to go back in and report this due to the queue. 5 - The air con was quite poor, def needed a re gas. 6 - Another regular customer in the queue told me it was always like this to pick up a vehicle at this desk. 7 - I will use you guys again but go back to Alamo!

Had to make a major point about contact law and they eventually rescinded and found a Tahoe for us. Have heard similar stories about Dulles rentals. So my experience is the counter staff are not very reputable or trustworthy. They also pushed to include tolls for a daily charge knowing we were unlikely to be using toll roads.

" An EV vehicle for car rental is very limiting and I would not recommend it. Most Chargers do not accept UK contactless and you are forced to download apps on your phone. However being from the UK you cannot install these apps if not resident in the USA making it almost impossible to charge the vehicle. "
" Counter staff explained that although I had booked an Intermidiate SUV via AutoEurope they said it was booked as an EV. I explained that I would prefer a gas vehicle, they said they could upgrade me for a total of $40 to which I agreed. When the process had gone through I noticed that it was in fact $40 per day for the 7 day period, not $40 in total. I declined the upgrade as I was mis-sold this by the counter staff.

" No issues with auto Europe - used many times. Thrifty have been very disappointing and would not use dollar/Thrifty again. "
" This is the email I have sent to Thrifty: I have recently hired a car from you from 5th June and Returned 19th June- this being the first time I have specifically been told which car I needed to have when normally i have always been given an area to pick one from. I then was charged $528 on credit card being informed $400 was deposit and the rest for the car seat hire. Once I got the car to the villa I notice the car key had DAMAGED in red writing. Upon expecting the car I had notice multiple scratches, dents and a big scuff on the rear bumper. After trying to call Dollar 5 times with no success I gave up. I then proceeded to look at my paperwork and on the receipt notice a premium road service charged at $9.99 per day to a total of $139.66! I have driven in Florida multiple times and simply would not have agreed to this charge ( neither did I sign anything to say so!) the person who I dealt with clearly tried to pull a fast one assuming I was a first time tourist and wouldn't know the difference!! When I returned the car I spoke to a guy who who was very helpful and explained just to go down to the counter and then will assist and remove. I then went down and spoke to another helpful lady who asked me if I signed a piece of paper ( and showed me ) and explained I hadn't. She then explained she needed her team leader to help. I approached Alina and explained the issue - the first the she said was - you will not be getting a refund today, passed me her mobile phone ( not very professional) with a picture for this email - she ripped off my receipt and proceeded to say bye, no apologies or anything. I am requesting the premium road service to be refunded with immediate effect and I want 50% of the car hire also refunded as I did not pay for a damaged car, the car also had key sense on it which meant I couldn't control half of the items in the car and had a limiter on the volume of radio and no control of parking sensors etc. "

" You found a competitive price and communication was clear and frequent. However your supplier (Avis) in my opinion badly let you down in terms of the quality of vehicle and the in my opinion covert upselling at the desk. "
" The car condition was below expectations and approaching 60K miles so the service light was constantly notifying the driver. The carpet was worn and the seats stained. I picked the rental car up early and was upsold into purchasing an extra day - it would be preferable if the Avis representative could consider visitor's journeys, time differences and generally feeling dazed and not try and offer upgrades without stating upfront that there is an extra charge instead of giving in my opinion the 'complementary upgrade' impression. Incidentally I returned the car well before my original date of return so I hope the additional day I was persuaded into accepting was removed from my charges? Difficult to see on the invoice - which could be made clearer for the hirer! Finally, I completed in advance paperwork to facilitate a smooth pick up, but it took an hour of waiting in a queue post 11 h flight to get to the desk to pick the car up. I've never had to wait so long! It was holiday weekend so consider more staff at these fixed dates! "

" My experience regarding voucher #UK5567372 went smoothly as I`ve used them previously so I know when they are trying to entice me with "extras". Regarding voucher #UK5517472 which was a vehicle for my son, I am extremely disappointed. The person at the desk asked my son for his credentials etc, asked him to sign, then without my son`s knowledge ticked boxes for premium road service and PAI/PEC. I noticed this on returning to the UK. My son now has a bill of $280.00 on his credit card. In my opinion the counter assistant is guilty of conning my son into paying for something he didn`t need or want. "

" Terrible customer service,I understand priority customers get served quickly but I wasn't offered that service on booking,and I think they should have priority customer staff and to allow to push in front of non priority customers,especially after queuing 75 minutes before been acknowledged is absolutely not acceptable in any business....no apologies was given by staff,just they have to serve priority customers first! Which I understand but when they are constantly serving these and not others is definitely wrong. "

Only 5 of us in queue but they kept serving priority customers first which kept coming and coming from other flights,after telling the staff to serve us they said they can't until priority stop arriving! I insisted they serve at least one of us in between priority as we could see no end of priority customers stopping ,after 60 minutes one of the staff did take our advice and fitted us in between priorities , I discovered it wasn't even budget priority customers they was serving but Avis customers what was really annoying,we then got told only electric cars available,we said we didn't book electric and wanted what we paid for or upgrade to next level... eventually 2hours later we got keys to our car! The car was clean but was only part filled with fuel,I paid full to full and no screen wash in bottles on trying windscreen wipers...I could have returned to customer services but after all the wait to get the car I didn't want to queue again,basically it was terrible service made worse by a 12 hour flight,we just wanted to get to our hotels to sleep "

Thrifty seem like they try and give you the best deal on initial comparison but once they've added on all the extras they deem 'necessary' it doesn't work out any cheaper, and the service by Thrifty compared to the other car rentals at Logan Airport was significantly inferior.

" Had a load of additional options added onto our rental with little to no explanation that basically made this equally, if not more, expensive as other hires but with much less efficient staff. We were sold a toll pass as we were told this was necessary (this cost $75 for a week) whereas we could have just paid $1 per toll road in cash totalling around $20 in total, but the counter staff neglected to tell us this - they just seemed intent on adding as much money onto our rental as possible - seemed very exploitative "

" I think Auto Europe have been great and giving fantastic deals. It's just a shame about the behaviour of Thrifty. "
" We have been hugely disappointed with the awful service provided by Thrifty. We went to pick up our car after already been travelling for over 20 hours hoping for a straightforward process. We when we finally got to the front of the queue the initial interaction was very pleasant. We were informed that we had pre purchased all the needed insurance so there would be no additional costs and we could adjust our drop off time which was helpful. We decided to go for the pre purchased fuel at a set rate to allow us to drop off the car empty. So when we were asked to pay plus the deposit, I was shocked to see additional items added. I disputed it and was informed that these had been removed. Once we had the car it was a great and exactly what we had hoped for. The real problems occurred when it came to drop-off the car luckily, we were met by an agent rather than just dropping the keys as they informed us that even though the sales agent had told us and given us paperwork saying "return empty" they had in fact not added this to our booking and we were going to be charged over $12 a gallon rather than the agreed $5.50. We were concerned about timing, but we decided for the ridiculous cost we had to leave the complex and go and refuel next to the airport. Also it is worth noting that the agent sold it as this is the cheapest fuel, you'll get within 10 miles of the airport, and we went to a station less than 3 miles away that was $4.95. Multiple staff members were shocked to see this, and one said they would report this to their manager. However, no one was helpful or willing to take responsibility for any issue caused. We were advised to go to the complaints desk and lodge a complaint. We waited in the queue only to be told that they don't deal with that sort of thing, and we would need to go wait elsewhere. At this point we were too concerned about missing our flight to continue perusing it at that time. My final dismay was when I was sent my automatic receipt which still contained some of the paid extras which I disputed and was told it was removed. This has added a large amount of stress to the whole travelling process and put a real damper on a fantastic holiday up until that point. It appears the agent was telling us one thing and then not carrying out actions. Adding prepaid fuel but not doing it and then removing additional extras and then not taking them off. I hope thrifty will reimburse/void these extra costs that were told they were removed and apologies for this truly awful experience. "

" Good selection of cars, and the occasional "additional driver" option is a good option to have. Our flight was delayed by over 4 hours meaning we would be late for pick-up. I contacted Auto-Europe and the service agent was very reassuring and forwarded a note to Alamo to advise of our late pick-up. Great customer service. "
" Picking up the car was made easier using their electronic terminal instead of a service agent. Choice of cars was very good - on this occasion they gave a free upgrade which was greatly appreciated. And returning the vehicle was a breeze - the agent was welcoming and friendly, and quickly checked me in. "

Had we left the car park without noticing the damage we would have been liable for a new winscreen. We then had to find another Dollar Rep and have a change of vehicle, the outside was dirty, the inside was clean and the tank was only 3/4 full.

Specifically, whan asked if I wanted premium or standard cover I replied that I had already got insurance cover so the clerk wrote Standard Cover on my receipt. He then asked if I wanted a Sun Pass and told me I would only pay for the trips I took. He then took a prepayment swipe of my credit card and gave me the receipt which clearly stated "Estimate". After returning the car I received a receipt that showed that I had been charged for Premium cover and the full Sun Pass charge for every day of the hire even though I only used tolls on two days with a total charge of around 14 dollars. I have raised a complaint with Dollar but they have not responded so I am now elevating my complaint to my credit card provider as a possible fraud. "

" Renting from Budget was the worst car rental experience I have ever had. First car had a door locking problem, so arranged an exchange. They then gave the replacement car to another person. So we went back and they eventually assigned me another car which had a number of small dents, a cracked bumper and gloves of tar on it. It did drive well. At drop off they closed the entrance but had no one to tell you where to go. It was a shambles! "

" Dollar has charged $53.59 for gasoline in advance subject to returning the car with an empty tank as we were informed it would be the same amount in comparison to what we would pay in the city by the representative who booked the car out into our custody at Houston Texas. He informed us Dollar will refill the tank at $3.00 per litre in-house being the same amount in the city. However, when the vehicle was returned, it still had half a tank of gasoline which I photographed as my evidence in chief. I am therefore shocked to notice Dollar still applied full cost of $53.59, as if the car was returned with an empty tank of gasoline. My understanding is that the difference between the half tank to refill the gasoline back into the car could have been added to the toll cost incurred which could have reduced the cost of the toll we incurred at £95.88. In my opinion, Dollar should not have incurred more than $22 to $24 to refill the car tank back to full tank of gasoline capacity. This means Dollar could have refunded up to $30 back of the credit card that was debited. As I will be flying to Cleveland in the next two weeks, I will be declining a return empty tank with the same Dollar upon pick-up because I simply believe it is a scam to make more money out of customers hiring car.

At one point after waiting over an hour, I tried to enquire as to when the car would be available and was quite abruptly told to wait whilst the two members of staff were engaged in a personal conversation which was nothing to do with the business. I would have thought the paying customer came first!! Obviously the delay affected everyone in the waiting area but the staff did not even display an apologetic attitude, no seating was available. Also, we were not informed that the car should be returned to the Hertz carpark, subsequently resulting in us queueing to get out of the Dollar returns and then queuing to get into the Hertz returns.

" We were first of all queuing at Orlando airport rental area for a very long time as there were only a handful of staff operating counters, with some standing and talking to each other, others disappearing. The queue itself was very long but no one seemed to be doing anything about it. When it was finally our turn, the staff member was talking so quietly that we could hardly hear him. When we asked about the Sun Pass for tolls, and whether he knew if there were tolls between the airport and Disney (our destination), he was unable to say, despite working in the area. We were also surprised when breakdown cover was not included in the overall price. Due to the amount this would have cost, we declined. When everything had eventually been processed, choosing the car was quite straightforward, and the car drove well for the most part, although the ignition was temperamental - sometimes it wouldn't start straight away. Additionally, the dial showing the fuel gauge etc. flickered on and off at times, sometimes disappearing entirely. Drop off was very easy, and we mentioned the maintenance concerns do the member of staff. "

" Dollar rentals has charged me for the car hire, has taken an extra £325.48, and has kept my deposit as well. I was fully covered by car rental insurance as there was a crack in the windshield when I returned the car. The employee that received the car told me since I was fully insured and coved for such events I should be ok. I'm not even sure they received the payment that I gave you for the car of £511.00 pounds. I cannot get in touch with anyone at dollar rentals. I feel like I have been ripped off massively. Is there anyone in your company that can please help me? I have paper work and recites and pictures. This has been a nightmare please help me! Thank you. "

" Everything as good - smooth process. The only thing that would have been better is for them to have raised the issue of tolls at the desk as we have no idea what will now happen having crossed a local toll bridge to a very popular tourist area. We think we will be charged quite a high premium even though the toll was only $1 and the bridge doesn't accept cash which the rental company would likely have known. "

" Everything was very straight forward and efficient. We arrived to collect our car and within less than 20 minutes we were in our car. One thing that was slightly hard to work out based on the information on the Alamo website was what size of car I needed. Turns out the one I originally picked was too small and I had to upgrade but it wasn't the end of the world. It was only an extra $25 a day and the car was excellent. "

" When I picked car up was expecting a hybrid but they said EV was all that was available. Told them I'd never driven one before and asked about recharging. The agent said she didn't know but after asking a colleague said there would be info in car plus I could ask garage attendant. There was no info and nobody to ask. Called Dollar twice for help and both times was told they personally couldn't help but someone would call me back. Nobody called.... Started searching web and went to a couple of places with EV chargers. Soon found out it's not easy! All charging spots were full. Can't pay with credit or debit card only network charge card. Fearing I wouldn't be able to recharge or get back to the airport I stopped using the car to save the battery. Had to resort to Uber for travel to parks dining shopping etc..

" See above. In this age of modern technology I would have expected more assistance - particularly in putting another driver on the rental, even if only to get us back to our hotel. Our fellow golfers got back to the hotel and hired a car so that we could collect Tony from the hospital. I was very disappointed in the lack of help or any feedback from the company. It will be interesting to see if I get any response to these comments "
" I am replying (Angela grant) as I paid for the rental but Tony was the only driver. Tony had an accident and was unable to drive from the 14th of March. He was taken to hospital with a dislocated arm and three breaks at the elbow. It took a friend approximately 1.5hrs phone call with someone who couldn't understand the accident happened on a golf cart and the car was not in the incident. We tried to get someone else put on the insurance so we could at least get back to our hotel, approx. 45 minutes away, but were told we would have to go to an office to do that. The young man did not seem to grasp our situation and kept having to "go and check". There was no follow up email to say the rental had been terminated. We left the vehicle keys with the manager of the golf course as we were not prepared to wait a further two hours for it to be picked up. If we had not had a member of our party who had a car we would have been stuck. It would also have been helpful to have had a follow up email. "

She implied the car wasn't big enough for 3 passengers, it was huge! The car brakes were intermittently clunky , making a grinding sound as if something was loose.

" See above. Autoeurope should have been aware that Budget economy models were fully electric. I would never have chosen a fully electric car if I had known. "
" When I arrived to pick up my car, I was told that all of the vehicles in my class (economy) were fully electric. (This was despite the voucher clearly stating that the vehicle would be gas or diesel.) I was reluctant, so was offered a change of car for an extra $20 per day, which I rejected. I took the electric car. On the third day, I went to a charging station as my battery was at 50%. After half an hour, it was up to 52% and the app said the remaining time to charge to full power was 5 hours and 45 minutes. I took the car back to Budget and said that this was unacceptable. I was offered a petrol car for $10 a day (and she made it clear it would be for the entire length of the contract, even the two days just gone), which I took, because I didn't see that I had another option. I had to pay an additional $96+. When I showed her the voucher stating that I was entitled to a gas/diesel vehicle, she said that was a third party and that the Budget website clearly stated that economy models were fully electric. I would assume that this is something you should be aware of. I don't believe that fully electric cars are suitable for rentals, at least not until they can be charged easily and quickly. I was not going to spend what little time I had looking around for a charger and spending hours waiting for it to be charged. Just a bad experience all around. "

I refused and he then said I would have to return the car early (4.00pm for a 9.50pm return flight) - hardly ideal.

Finally someone did help but initially couldn't provide with a similar car again in spite of the call centre sending me to the airport as it was the only place that could match my car!! The other frustrating thing with Alamo is that ins site of me booking with you for just over 5 weeks they insisted the car could only be booked for 30 days.

" No car of the category requested was available. We were offered an upgrade to a gigantic Chevrolet Suburban or Ford Expedition, but my wife felt she could not handle these. We took one anyway, but the GPS didn't work. There were no GPS add-ons available, although we had requested one. The only car with functioning GPS was a tiny BMW X2 so we had to take it. It was too small for the distances we had to drive and hardly took our two suitcases. We managed, but this was not what I had paid for. The young man trying to look after us wrongly registered us as having hired the Suburban. There was a lady there who was more helpful, but she could not wave a magic wand and produce the kind of vehicle I had booked and paid for. After a 22-hour journey to reach Austin this was not a happy experience. "

They wouldn't give us the only 4wd they had because they were in a superior class and wanted to charge a ridiculous additional cost per day.

" your booking process is fine. Budget just let you down "
" I booked with you last year using Alamo and had no problems at all. This year i tried Budget. On attending the desk they tried to give me a Toyota Corolla. I explained i had booked an intermediate SUV. They then gave me a Jeep Grand Cheroke. When i set off i noticed the display was showing the tyre pressures which showed two tyres at 36 and two at 34&32. I thought this was odd to be displayed instead of the speed. The next day the tyre pressures on the ones that were 34&32 were now showing 30 and 28. I inflated the tyres and noticed that the dust caps were already missing off the two lower inflated tyres. This continued for a few days until i could return the car to a branch. I believe the tyre pressures were an issue before i was given the car. The staff at New Orleans airport were rude and abrupt. They gave us a different car, a Mazda CX-9 but this did not have Sat nav. where as the Jeep did. They said this was the only vehicle available. It was very dirty and lots of minor damage. For the last few days of the holiday there appeared to be some electrical issues which included the car kept telling me the ignition was still on, even after i had turned it off, and the trunk would not operate via the buttons and would not lock. We were then 2 hours away from the nearest branch and was wary of the poor attitude of the last desk staff so we made do with the car and got it back on return day. the man in the car park saw the ignition warning light and that the trunk would not operate or lock. He said he would sort out for some money to be refunded but we have not had any. "

" after a 10 hour flight, at the Dollar desk there was about 12 desks and only 2 people serving. This took abut 50 minutes at the desk then still had to walk a distance to pick up car. This makes no sense as most people pre book so they know in advance how busy they are going to be at a certain time and should have the appropriate amount of staff or another system to allow people to pre book in so could go straight and pick up the car. This is frustrating after a long flight. "

" While all the 'customer care' from Auto-Europe was extremely efficient and thorough, I would hesitate to recommend the company due to the extremely negative and expensive experience we had with their USA provider Sixt. "
" Sixt charged us $330 dollars more for a pre-paid rental. They said my USA license could not be used. I am a UK resident with a USA driver's license. For that reason, they would not accept our booking and charged us a whopping $330 more. After a 10-hour flight and with a deadline to reach our destination, we were not in a position to continue our arguments. It feels to me like Sixt was out to make more money at our expense. Auto-Europe customer service looked into this and came back with an unsatisfactory decision that we were not due a refund. Please feel free to contact me for further information on this case. "

" I blame myself for this incident but I was lied to and misled by the Dollar rep. I will never use Dollar again! "
" On arrival I was allocated a Nissan Sentra car (your reservation indicated Honda Civic or similar). On picking up the car in the garage we found that this model had very low seats, and the passenger seat had no height adjustment facility. My wife suffers from back pain and was not able to get in or out easily and not able to sit comfortably. Then I discovered that the car would not start. I sought help and was informed that the battery was faulty. I went back to the Dollar desk and explained the situation and requested another car, and one with higher level seats so my wife would be comfortable. I suggested something like a SUV might be ok. The Dollar rep said he only had only one car available, a VW Atlas, but this would cost an extra $25. I asked if he meant per day and he said for the period. I only discovered it was $25 per day when I looked at the revised rental documents again at the time I returned the car. It was my fault I didn't check the document again but I was lied to by the Dollar rep. It's easy to say I was tired after a long flight and relieved there was a suitable car (the only one?) available and I should have rechecked the hire document again. I didn't think about it at the time but customers were asked to sign agreement electronically before being handed the hire document. I did check the document for the Sentra before leaving the desk and it was correct. This has cost me an additional $350 + tax, a hard lesson! "

" Not one that I want to repeat. This is the second issue with car rental companies including my last rental with Hertz through Autoeurope in September 2023 when they insisted that my rental on that occasion was for a standard SUV when I had booked and paid for a full size SUV and they refused to deliver the vehicle that I had booked without a further payment which I refused so had to settle for the standard SUV. This despite again have the confirmation email from Autoeurope with me to confirm that my booking was for a full size SUV. Two poor customer experiences during my last two rentals. I don't know if this is a fault with Autoeurope or the rental companies. But it's clear that despite having the confirmation email from Autoeurope with me at the time of collection the rental companies completely ignore this written contract. "
" On arrival at the Budget counter the centre was empty and my family and I were the only people present. The agent wouldn't accept that my rental agreement did include full cover as per my rental agreement with Autoeurope and stated that I would have to pay for the extra insurance and recovering cover. I presented my rental agreement to her from the printed email from Autoeurope but she insisted that I only had the basic cover and that she made me sign that I was refusing the additional cover before she would release the vehicle to me. I therefore had to sign under protest in order to secure the vehicle. On collecting the vehicle from the parking lot I found that the vehicle was unwashed and dirty on the outside and and the interior was also dirty and obviously not been cleaned. As I say the centre was not busy so there was no reason for the vehicle to be presented for rent in the condition that I found. I did not raise this with the agent as I wasn't prepared for another delay at the counter. I would have real reservations in using Budget for car rental again when my next trip to the USA which will be for four weeks in October 2024. "

After lots of requests and an interesting conversation with a pleasant member of staff they 'found' a 15 seater bus that i had to drive for 2 weeks.

I have asked that this figure be put in to dispute. After a ten hour flight (1 hour on board delay ) and a two hour wait in US arrival hall clearing immigration I felt the time spent at the Budget reception desk on Level 2 was remarkably quick. Nothing was shown to me nor was there any discussion over and above the request for licences etc. When we descended to the 'garage' we were shown two cars by an operative who had little or no English and I chose the Honda.

" Long wait at counter as only 1 person serving for a long time all other companies had 2 counter staff. Initial car provided had only 7 seats and not 8 as booked. The counter staff was not helpful and said it was what we ordered even though booking said 8 people. Only when I said the other dollar person at the car storage area had found us a 8 seater in the same group category, then he started to change the car over. I also said I didn't want to pay for the tank in advance and would bring it back full, he did not remove the addition, after a long haul flight and having such a delay and problems with the initial car and family getting stressed I didn't argue any further. Having used the car it would have only cost me $35 to fill the tank up, it cost me $62.59 for the refill tank- not a bargain. As the counter rep stated. "

I found the website easy to use, and the prices were right in the ballpark of what I was hoping to spend, and certainly easier than using some of the company's own websites. I'll happily use Auto Europe again, but I'll be wary of choosing a Thrifty car in future... "
" The car I was given wasn't in very good condition at all. The front end of the car wasn't in very tidy condition with lots of scrapes and chips, which didn't look very good considering I was meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time. Shortly after I started the drive to San Diego after leaving the Thrifty car park it was apparent that the steering was wonky, and there was a vibration coming from the steering wheel, which was particularly irritating for the long drive.

I knew this to be untrue as I had visited Florida recently. When I explained this I was mad out to be a liar and told repeatedly "you're not listening to me sir"! The car was an old car with 79K miles, stunk of cigarettes and had one damaged windscreen wiper (which I found out in torrential rain) and had to stop to fix the rubber blade back into the metal part and the other wiper blade was held on with a cable tie.

WHEN I ARRIVED THE DESK REPRESENTATIVES SAID FORD FOCUS (4 door, 2 cases 5 seater) HAD NOT BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE 2016 !!!!! A SIMILAR CAR IN HIS VIEW WAS A CAR CALLED A "MARANTAZ" (2 DOOR 4 SEATER.) WHEN I QUERIED THIS HE SAID IT WAS QUOTE:- "SIMILAR TO THE FORD FOCUS BUT YOU WILL BE LUCKY TO GET ONE SIUTCASE IN IT" THREE PEOPLE WITNESSED THIS STATEMENT. WE HAD NO OPTION BUT TO UPGRADE TO A SUITABLE CAR WHICH WAS A HYUNDAI SONATA I THINK. GREAT CAR. WE HAD NO OPTION BUT TO AGREE TO AN UPGRADE AS WE HAD TO TRAVEL 150 MILES NORTH THAT NIGHT. I WAS ,IN MY OPINION, SCAMMED BY THRIFTY BY BEING CHARGED $447 FOR THE UPGRADE HAVING PAID YOU OVER $700 FOR A FORD FOCUS (A PHOTO AND DETAILS AR ON YOUR WEB SITE) MY SUPPORT FOR THIS STAEMENT IS THAT BACK IN ENGLAND I DICOVER I COULD HAVE HIRED A SECOND CAR AT THE THRIFTY DESK FOR LESS THAN HE UPGRADE CHARGE , A CAR ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE HYUNDAI, THAT BEING A KIA OPTIMA OR VW JETTA FOR $26.28 A DAY, LESS THAN THE EXTRA PER DAY PAID FOR THE UPGRADE. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS TOTAL RIP OFF. DISGUSTING AND COMPOUDED BY YOUR SITE ILLUSTRATING A FORD FOCUS. NO WAY ON EARTH IS A MARANTZ EQUIVALENT TO A FORD FOCUS. THIS MISINFORMATION AND NEAR UILLEGAL ACTION BY THRIFTY COST ME $447 .ADDITIONALLY I WOULD HAVE BEEN ONLY PAYING $424 FOR THE HIRE OF A KIA OPTMA IF I HAD JUST TURNED UP AT THEIR DESK IN ORLANDO AND NOT HIRED VIA AUTO EUROPE!!! I WOULD RESPECTIVELY REQUEST A REFUND TO COVER THE ADDTIONAL RIP OFF OF $447 BY THRIFTY. I AM APPROACHING YOUR COMPANY AS I BELIEVE AS MY AGENT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORIGINAL MISINFORMATION CONCERNING THE CAR, SHOULD KNOW OF THIS POSSIBLE SCAM AND IN THE UNLIKELY CHANCE THRIFTY WOULD DO ANYTHING TO REIMBURSE ME HAVING IN THE OVERALL VIEW OF THINGS CHARGED ME MORE THAN DOUBLE FOR THIS TOTAL SHAMBLES.

" No Dollar cars available whatsoever on contract start date (23 November 7pm). Dollar staff (at terminal C check in and then garage) failed to acknowledge and communicate that plain fact to me.. Significant distress caused to my son given his special needs. Apologies rendered eventually by Dollar customer service but no recompense of alternative transportation costs (car rented for one day from Alamo) distress to son and inconvenience of lengthy round trip returning to airport . Car then initially provided by Dollar (24 November) had defective rear seat belts. Dollar customer service are now refusing to deal with my complaint beyond rendering apologies. "

I was prepared for the hard sell but this was worse- we didn't even know we had been signed up for this until the post rental bill came in!!! After contesting these spurious charges we were refunded most of them but we were still out of pocket by $ 60 + transatlantic call charges to sort out.

" Pick up at Miami port a disaster. No coaches, fighting to get on one shuttle that eventually turned up. We had to get a cab. That cost. When eventually got to Budget office downtown they were queuing out the door. No cars - 2 1/2 hour wait with luggage on the street in the baking sun. Absolute shambles. No GPS or maps available. Actual car when we eventually found it in a car park directions were "cross the road and its on the right somewhere". The actual car was as booked and drove well - no problem. Dropping off at Miami Airport fine until the guy checked the milage and found out that the mileage on the paperwork was more than on the car!! So more delays as we had to go and sort it out - not Budget!! All in all a terrible experience. Will never use Budget again. "

" it looked like the cheapest deal around which included additional drivers, extra insurance for tyres and undercarriage and a tank of fuel. Doing it directly with Alamo was much more expensive. There were no surprises during the rental in terms of what was already included. "
" Everything was smooth and quick, no complaints. There was a fairly decent selection of cars and the Nissan we got was in good shape. The additional insurances are pricey but not outrageous, pretty average I guess. The additional driver was added in another location without drama. The young driver's fee is a bit high but pretty standard across all rental companies it seems. "

" Overall the experience was good, but a couple of points left me disappointed. 1) I was given a Ford Expedition Max, but I really wanted a Chevy Suburban. I appreciate that the booking says 'or similar', but this change was something a petrol head finds poor. 2) Upon collection of the vehicle at MIA, the over sell of extra insurances and costs was way to aggressive, which I didn't appreciate.

I was provided with an upgrade at no charge. The car was good with around 4000 miles on the clock. Had on problems. Return with Budget is a bit different - just park vehicle, not mileage and fuel level and return keys. They didn't even ask for those details.

" When I picked up the car, I was asked to initial a screen to approve the contract unseen, when the contract was emailed to me, I found that premium roadside assistance had been added, adding £100 to the bill. Hertz customer care said that they could only deal with it post return, and post return said that my initials on the screen meant that I had agreed. It's a rip off I would expect from a shoddy company, stupidly I had expected better. "

" Only one real complaint about the car hire. The drop off location in Stamford noted on the Auto Europe document was stated as the Mariott hotel 197 North State Street, which I eventually found. The commissionaire informed me that Budget was no longer at the hotel premises but had moved some 2-3 years before! Your records should be updated and because of this diversion it caused us to miss our train connection leading to additional expense. So while i have no problem with Budget I do have a problem with Auto Europe. No doubt this will not be looked at or responded to by you so I wonder why I am bothering to complete this form! "

I had to book a taxi to take myself and family to hotel arriving there at 3am .

" emailed auto europe about my situation and never even received an answer . total shit company ? . took my money and ignored my plea for assistance . this is the second time i have booked through auto europe and had serious problems getting a vehicle , NEVER AGAIN . "
" my car hire was refused because my licence was out of date unknow to me , I was licenced to drive a car ,it was only my HGV section that had run out but because that section was on the front it read outof date and the company totally refused to even look at my licence even though I had an email from DVLA that day stating my licence was valid and covered to continue driving the required vehicle . your system allows no discretion and left me stranded at the airport with no means of reaching my destination after all day travelling . I was left without transport for the trip which totally ruined all my plans and cost a small fortune in lost time and money . never again . "

" We had booked an intermediate SUV. On arrival at the car rental centre there was only one car available, an enormous Dodge Durango 8 seater SUV. We had to take that , to drive to our hotel, with advice to return to the following day to change. Returned to find a queue of 15/20 people,with only 1 vehicle available. As we were exchanging the vehicle a very helpful member of staff let us take it ahead of the queue. It did have some small scratches and a dent on the read hatch door. Staff informed us that there was a severe shortage of vehicles and were waiting for vehicles to be returned before they could be issued to waiting customers. "

" i have never in my 30 + years ( twice a year ) of travelling to the USA and renting a vehicle been dealt with so rudely and inappropriately , as a result of being refused the car hire at the desk , i asked to speak with a manager , unfortunately he was the manager , a woman in the back office was just as rude and as uninterested in my situation , i had numerous people come up to me who said they couldn't believe the way i was being dealt with and for no reason , i was collecting my second car hire through you that holiday and he kept stating that i had just arrived in the US and that as i was European i needed to produce a passport , i tried to explain that i was British and not European and had not just got off a flight and therefore like a load of other people present was only required to produce docs they stated they required on their notices around the pick up desk there and he would not accept my Florida state issued I.D along with my driving licence and payment card , yet everyone else was being dealt with presenting the same docs , as stated the only docs actually require on their signs at the desk were a driving licence and payment card , he refused to understand that i complied with their instructions for I.D as had everyone else , he stated that this had been in place for Europeans for at least 2 months , the lady from the back office said it had been in place for a week , still not allowing me to pick up my hire car they then refused to call for a taxi or and Uber so i could go home and collect my passport ( i have a house there and a business ) as my phone wasn't getting a signal in the airport , luckily airport customer services did so for me so after my initial car return to the airport , two Uber trips and a return home with a new hire car i travelled almost 170 miles and at a cost of just under $90.00 . returned to the airport with my passport and all other I.D id had presented earlier . chap on the desk just ask for my Driving license and payment card , i asked he wanted my passport and he said NO they don't need to see that , so a total waste of my time and money , and the next day i had to return the new hire car as the A/C didn't work , the man on the desk was a complete Xenophobe toward the British and i guess the Europeans , if he has a problem with foreigners why is he in public facing job in an airport , i have asked to be compensated for my Uber fares but all they would offer was a voucher for $30 to send to yourselves to reduce my car hire invoice , that has never arrived "

" Good car, almost new. There was a bit of queue for pick up of the car, maybe 30 minutes wait. We went for the all inclusive toll package and were charged just over £400, I'm not sure whether this was better than paying for actual tolls on our 1875 mile on our road trip. Return was a bit strange. The guy just walked once round the car, checked the fuel level and just walked off, no paperwork or anything. Anyway it worked out fine in the end. "

" Auto Europe were efficient but the Dollarcrental experience was a disaster "
" Having made the reservation several weeks before travel, we were told on arrival at San francisco Airport there would be a delay of around an hour for collection as no cars were available. This turned into a 3+ hr delay! Totally unacceptable. Little/no updated information other than being told there was a major conference in town - frankly not our problem! The delay on collecting the car meant we missed valuable time in napa including a wine tasting visit- the whole point of visiting this area!! Overall a bad experience which we have never had before with any car rental. On top of this, we were 'persuaded' to take out additional products amounting to $243.34 - significantly increasing the overall cost of hire. We had lost the will to fight these charges as we simply wanted to get von with our travel plans. We were one of many in this position. An awful experience. I have tried to raise this complaint with Dollar without success. As part of the Hertz group (where our car was originally sourced) this failure in customer service and product delivery is damaging for all companies. We have used Auto Europe in the past for car rentals but will think twice about using Dollar. We trust this will be looked into and our email sent to the appropriate department. We trust we will be compensated for the loss of a valuable part of our US holiday. The Dollar res number was K54428386B3 "

" AutoEurope is excellent, my problem was with the Avis Agent at the airport at pickup. He didn't understand that we had paid for the gold package, he said he could not provide us with the paid for GPS as they were broken, he said he will put a note on the account for us to receive a refund and then charged us $17 a day for a tablet with GPS, he said we were to return the car full of petrol even though we had paid for it. We did take it back full at drop off, this Avis service Agent was brilliant and apologised for the service given to us, he wiped off the cost of the tablet and refunded us the full tank of gas. So eventually I was pleased. Why the airport agent would not honour our package paid for, I don't understand it, maybe he was just trying to make extra commission but he would not listen and I just had to sign for the extras, I did contact Avis customer service and they said to wait until I returned the car and they would support with sorting the problem out if it was still not resolved "

" I was informed by counter staff that the car I ordered was unavailable so I had 2 options; pay a higher price for a bigger car or go to another terminal for the ordered car. Having just come off a 9 hour flight with 2 suitcases, we opted for the higher price which was the equivalent of an extra £91. We were far from satisfied and complained to Thrifty who don't seem to want to recompense us so we won't be using them again. "

" Rubbish service, I needed a problem sorting and all I got was to call a number at Dollar, I called Dollar endless times only to be told I needed to go to a Dollar office. Which I had done and got fobbed off at the 2 Dollar offices I visited. I called Auto Europe and emailed lots of times only to get the same response to call Dollar, I explained I had done this multiple times and got nowhere. It was Stressful, time consuming, dangerous, I booked an 8 seater or similar with Auto Europe, we got a 5 seater which just about did the job until our 6th member of our party arrived but we had to drive 5 hours with luggage on the knees of the rest passengers. "
" Absolutely rubbish, arrived to pick car up at Atlanta airport only to be told there could be up to a 3 hour wait for the car, after more then 2 hours later when I received keys I went to pick up car the lady in charge pointed to a 5 seater car, I explained I needed a minimum of a 7 seater as i had booked and had the paperwork to show her as there were 6 of us in our party, she shrugged her shoulders and said if you don't want it get a refund, in the end we had to hire an additional car for the 10 days we had 6 in our party. Attempted to sort out the size of car over the first 2 weeks and got nowhere, loads of telephone calls, spent a day and over 100 miles visiting Dollar offices only to get fobbed off. Disgusting service from Auto Europe who I booked the car through and total shambles by Dollar. DO NOT USE EITHER COMPANY. I booked through Auto Europe at what I thought was a competitive price but after booking another car so we could move 6 people about it ended up costing us €800 more. "

" I have used you before on numerous occasions to book cars in Europe and the USA. With no problems. The booking procedure is seemless I realise that you did not cause the problem with Dollar but it just dampened the whole car hire experience. "
" After a long day travelling to the USA we arrived at the Dollar car lot to find they had no cars for hire. They told us we would have to wait a further 4 hrs for a car which was not guaranteed , We had no option to wait as we had a 2 and a half hour drive ahead to travel to Pennsylvania. Eventually at 21.30 we got a car which was not what we ordered it was a Jeep renegade with faulty electronics, not a Mazda 5 Then we had a horrible journey in thunder, lightening, torrential rain and poor visibility up to Mechanicsburg PA. Even when we took our car back there were people waiting for cars. You can not run a business like that if you do not have enough cars for hire. "

" Because Dollar were not responding, I contacted Auto Europe for help. I was told it was between me and Dollar and nothing to do with you, but 'I should contact you if I needed any help'!! So I replied and said I needed help, but nobody ever came back to me. "
" On collection, promised "manager's special", top of the range 'Q4' (no idea what that meant) with 'GPS, Apple car play, Android auto, everything'. Collected the car and it's basic. No sat nav. Plugging the phone in does nothing, so couldn't use Android maps. Guy handing out the cars doesn't care. Queue back at the counter is 5 deep, 3 of whom are there because of problems with the car. After 10 minutes, gave up and made do. A few days into the hire, became concerned about the inclusive toll package and if we needed to do anything to make sure it was working, so contacted Dollar with questions. Their response was nonsense and when I replied for clarification I heard nothing more from them. Turns out the toll issue was fine, but I had two weeks of stress worrying we were racking up massive charges. Also not convinced we weren't lied to about the toll charges (we were told we'd be charged $10 per toll on top of the toll, but a sign said $10 per day). "

" Car and service was good but the needle could have resulted in a serious accident especially if a young child had grabbed it. Please reply to me. "
" The car was only a few months old and in very good condition. It had been cleaned inside but the previous hirer was obviously a smoker of weed! This was not obvious at pickup as the smell of the cleaning covered it. However when we returned to the vehicle after being closed for a few hours or overnight the smell of the weed lingered and was still there when we returned the vehicle. The other more serious issue which could have resulted in an injury to the front seat passenger was an injection needle had been left in the passenger door pocket and not removed when cleaned. This could have resulted in the passenger receiving a stabbing injury if they had put their hand into the pocket without looking. I have a photograph I can send you. I passed this information to the staff member we returned the car to at the end of our stay and they told us to report it to yourselves. This should not have been allowed to happen. "

" Hired a medium sized SUV for our road trip around the Pacific Northwest from Seattle. We were given a GMC Terrain which was a great car. Wanted to pick-up in the centre of Seattle and drop-off at the airport, which I don't believe actually cost us any more. Went for their CDW insurance as it worked out very close to what buying a separate single trip policy would have cost. Also pleasantly surprised that we did not have to pay extra for my wife to also drive.

" Still happy to do business with AutoEurope but unsure about future bookings with Alamo. This was the 1st year we did not get the vehicle category we expected and the vehicle supplied was not in a clean state. Previous Alamo bookings have all been very good. "
" Very disappointed with the SUV provided by Alamo, not up to their normal standard, don't believe the SUV was a Premium SUV and most importantly the inside of the vehicle was not clean nor in good condition. There were many dirt scuffs on the inner roof lining, dirty dashboard area and most noticeably a large brown stain on the front passenger seat. Given the limited options on what was available, we decided to take the SUV (CADILLAC reg EVUJ35). Other than an 5 seater BMW SUV and the larger Chevy's & Fords it was the only other 7 seater offered to us. Disappointed all round but after a long flight one is not perhaps eager to push back & delay our onward travel. Also all of our family travelling in the SUV contracted Covid within the next 3 days, driver first, then followed by the other passengers 1 day later. Whilst we can't be absolutely certain about where we contracted Covid (which somewhat curtailed the 1st week of our vacation), our opinion & fears are that Covid was contracted whilst travelling in that SUV, particularly so given it's poor state of cleanliness throughout. Also seems likely, given all of us were only in close proximity when travelling in the rental from the rental pick up site. Also thought it was unusual that the Alamo representative in the pickup area, knew we had booked a 7 seater Premium SUV yet he called his Enterprise partner over who took us to the Large SUV's in the Enterprise area, not the Alamo area. I appreciate that Enterprise are Alamo's partner but typically their rentals are slightly cheaper with higher mileage. So we can only assume that Alamo didn't have the category we had booked available at pickup. In hindsight should have pushed back & asked to see their 7 seater SUV's which we have used in the past (eg Nissan PathFinder, Toyota Highlander etc) all of which would have been significantly better (space wise inside, cleanliness wise plus less mileage on clock). The Enterprise rep was fairly 'pushy' in getting us to consider taking their Chevy Tahoe or Ford Expedition SUV's, which whilst big they were actually too big, not very fuel efficient & when we booked where significantly cheaper than what we had actually booked. So all round very disappointed with our Alamo reservation at Tampa this year. Previously have always preferred Alamo & have booked through Auto Europe for many years. "

" COUNTER AT LOS ANGELES AIRPORT: The wait at LA airport was about 2 hours. The staff were so slow, they kept asking people loads of questions that I would have assumed should have been completed in advance. They also spent ages trying to upsell everyone to bigger vehicles and more insurance. This meant that I didn't arrive at my first night's destination until nearly 2am. Very frustrating!!! CLEANLINESS OF CAR: The car wasn't properly cleaned. When it got dark I had to buy a pack of screen wipes so that the glare from other traffic didn't cause vision problems. The bodywork wasn't cleaned properly either, not actually detrimental to the use of the car, just doesn't make you feel good when you are driving a dirty car around. "

" What was promised and what was provided were widely different. Be prepared for significant extra charges. "
" Dollar were very disappointing. The car we ordered was not available and to get sat-nav required an upgrade costing $320. We were also persuaded to purchase pre-paid tolls costing $15 a day which was completely unnecessary as the only toll we encountered was for $3.50. The car itself was great but the extra charges paid on pick up were $653.05 not the $75.00 we expected. Car return was fine and straightforward, but very unhappy with the overall experience. "

" We endured heavy sell about an expensive option to avoid fines for not paying tolls. We were told by the agent that road tolls in the area cannot be paid by cash or card. In fact there are only two toll roads in Seattle anyway and one certainly could be paid by card or in cash. This was unnecessary hassle which was inappropriate. Additionally I we paid for an intermediate size car which in my opinion we did not get. We were given a Hyundai Kona which could not even accommodate two cases in the trunk. "

Given that we had taken this through Auto Europe believing it was fully insured this was frustrating. - $105 for Personal Accident Insurance - $38.49 for concession fee recovery - $139.86 for premium roadside recovery All of these charges we were told we had to take as extra because we were renting a larger premium vehicle. The car was filthy when we picked it up and it had errors all over the dashboard telling us that the parking sensors werent working and the sunroof was open (which it wasnt). We took it back and swapped the vehicle out next day, which was easy to do. "

" Booking was reasonably easy as it also allows us to look at various companies on your website. There is no function that allows us the book two cars at the same time When calling you we were advised that if we both joined Auto Europe we would be able to obtain a discount but this was not forthcoming. Please can you contact Alamo and see if we will be receiving any refund of our hire costs back via yourselves "
" Trouble with booking in even though we had completed Alamo's quick booking online a week before. Alamo main office not open so had to use company next door. Queue with no quick booking. Tried using machine booking but this did not work. So had to queue and book in all again even thought all our details had been provided previously on line. My daughter who booked are second car via Auto Europe had so much trouble even though she had also pre-booked in. This was due to a fault on their system and it took 30 minutes., before they could bypass their system to all us to go down to collect our cars. The lady in charge of the desk was not helpful at all. Then after selecting our cars, when we went to drive out their security system would not let her out of the garage. The personnel in the garage did work hard to correct their system fault but this took another 15 minutes before they were unable to release her. My car gave regular warnings on two items mainly regarding the emergency automatic breaking was not operational. I noticed there was a amber light on one of the items when I picked up the car. Both warnings noted that car should go in for service. The steering would go funny at times , which I initially thought was the while lane line automatic response but this also occurred when lane lines were not a factor. I did report this to the lady checking the car on our return. She made a note of all these and noted that we were likely to receive a refund of part of our hire cost. "

" No specific problems with auto Europe as offered better value, but may look at booking more direct next time to avoid issue "
" We had completed online check-in in advance, but this wasn't recognised or asked about upon arrival, so we were directed to check-in at the desk. This worked for another member of my party (different booking), but not for me. It took 3 members of staff and a lot of waiting to figure this out. When we were finally directed to the garage, the desk had actually allocated our booking to our other family member, so we had to complete the whole check-in process again at the exit barrier. The whole process was very stressful and resulted in us losing the planned second driver (as they had already left the garage so I didn't have access to their driving license). I was surprised at how unhelpful the desk staff were and didn't recognise the issue earlier as I'm sure this must happen often. The garage staff were super helpful in trying to get us sorted. However they did mention that bookings made with auto Europe can commonly be problematic as they don't really allow two drivers per booking (outside of a spouse). "

" I believe I was significantly overcharged for a mediocre vehicle and the subpar service. "
" Upon landing at LAX after an exhausting 11-hour journey, my family was met with an overcrowded shuttle. This made it impossible for us, with our two children and six pieces of luggage, to board. As a result, I found myself forced to retrieve the car alone, subsequently incurring additional delay to our onward journey and parking fees at the airport when I returned to collect my family and luggage. When I reached the rental desk, I was surprised to find a significant understaffing problem. Even though they had my flight details in advance, I had to endure a 45-minute wait. To add to the disappointment, I was incorrectly charged for PERS (an enhanced breakdown cover) that I had expressly declined. I became aware of this mistake only after reviewing the rental documents emailed to me two hours post-collection. The lack of a direct contact number for Dollar at LAX and the inefficiency of their call centre in the Philippines left me with no choice but to return in person "

Due to this we were told we have to show the credit card statement to prove the card details matched my name and address details, this isn't a problem but there wasn't any internet available for us to use to prove this. I explained this to the counter agent and was told we need to purchase an international SIM card for data or to incur data roaming charges to prove as we were not permitted to briefly connect to their wifi. I explained we weren't planning to purchase an international SIM card and that data roaming was blocked on my phone, I explained we were never informed of this requirement in advance on any of our booking information otherwise we would have prepared and was told it was not their problem as it is Dollar policy. The matter was escalated to the branch manager and he permitted me to connect to his hotspot on his mobile to show the proof.

" I will never book with Thrifty again after this experience at Las Vegas airport. On arrival at the shared Dollar / Thrifty counter fellow customers were being told there was a 2 hour wait to get a car after finally getting to the check in desk. When we came to check in we were told that there were no cars in the class we had to booked at that if we didn't want to wait we could pay approx $15 to $20 per day more to upgrade. As we were booking a car for 24 days this was not a small amount so declined. When I went down to the garage to see how long would need to wait, bearing in mind we might have to wait 2 hours, I was simply given the keys to a car we would have to upgrade to! It seems extremely dishonest to try and pressure people to upgrade for extra money, if we had paid we would be none the wiser that we had been conned, I wonder how many people had paid this in desperation to get a car?

" My brother has used autoeurope for many years with no issues. The issues are with the rental company/vehicle provider. "
" Firstly I have logged a complaint with Dollar and its parent company Hertz though given my experience, I believe nothing will be done. 1. When I went to collect the full size 7 seater suv they processed my request and sent me to the garage staff where they refused to give me what I paid for. After lengthy arguments they eventually gave me a Nissan Armada which on their website is described as a full size 7 seater suv. I got to my accommodation only to receive a warning message from my credit card company regarding unusual activity. Counter staff had charged me nearly $500 for PAI insurance and enhanced breakdown company. These products were never discussed with me nor the amount. There was nothing even on the electronic sign pad regarding this. I wasted a day and a half trying to resolve this and the only way was to make the 80+ mile round trip back to the airport to have this resolved. Dollar staff are doing this to lots of customers unknowingly, we spoke to a few who experienced the same treatment. Our vehicle with just over 10000 miles on the clock and a 2023 model then started to develop engine issues. We returned it for the safety of those travelling within the vehicle only to suffer the same challenges and arguments with staff and Hertz manager. Staff provided a Chevrolet Traverse, which was a midsize suv. This vehicle in the garage had low washer fluid levels so was not Road worthy. Staff then told us to take the vehicle next to it which was the same model. We were astounded when we noticed check oil message on dashboard. Eventually Hertz manager gave us a Jeep Cherokee Laredo which was a 6 seater, still not what we ordered or paid for. Autoeurope and all other companies should consider avoiding Dollar, Thrify and Hertz. I am currently in the process of contacting the district attorneys office in Florida regarding the common practices of theft from customers credit cards. "

Wasn't aware if asking for any additional services, lady at country said she had upgraded me to a larger car. Due to limited availability (I hadn't asked) and the sat nag was part of the prepaid package. Not entirely sure what the charge was for. "

Man at desk blamed auto Europe.. I have used Auto Europe for many years and never had any problems. I think this was dollar trying to get away with extras no one wants,sneaky!! If I hadn't checked my receipt for cost of petrol,I would have been stuck with a hefty bill. Will think twice about using dollar. "

" It seems that car rental companies don't like it when you book via another company, it cuts into their profits and in turn they make it more difficult for the clients. "
" I had various emails from them before travelling telling me I HAD TO check in online. This obviously didn't work. After trying over 3 days I called the number and was told that it was not possible to check in online as I had not booked directly with Budget. The pick-up went fairly quickly but when I got back home I noticed that apparently the agent at the counter had snuck in some extra insurances, almost £200 of them. I understand that his commission depends on conning as many tired, jet-lagged clients out of as much money as possible, but I still don't like it. The driver's seat in the first car I was given was stuck at the far limit and could not be moved (I am 5 ft 1') so I had to take all my luggage out again and wait for another car. Once I drove off I saw that the tire pressure was all over the place, the warning display was on constantly. Would NOT recommend Budget to ANYONE. "

" After a long drive from Norfolk to Heathrow and then a 9 hour flight to Orlando, what you don't need is a miserable 2 hour long queue to get through US immigration followed by a fairly flippant and uncaring car hire desk-jockey. Firstly he couldn't get his computer system to work, then his card reader didn't work, then the usual patter of, "You need an upgrade" because the car you rented won't take 4 plus luggage and you need a satnav and you need a toll-lane device. Having been through the "cattle grinder" at Orlando airport more than 30 times in the last 20 years I'm well versed to their little tactics, to bleed more money out of tired and weary customers, more often than not with tired and weary kids. TAKE MY ADVICE. Don't hire the satnav it's a ripoff, use your mobile phone with your data allowance. And don't take the ripoff toll-lane device, buy one from from Walmart or Publix, you then go online, register it and preload it with $20, adding the vehicle licence plate number. Then keep it, take it home after your stay and reactivate it when you go again. You will need it though in and around Orlando. As for the car hire experience...pretty mediocre with Dollar. So how it works is, after you've been through the laborious desk-jockey experience, you head outside and across the road into the garage area. Head for Dollar and show your paperwork to the booth staff. They then point to a row of cars, that are in your hire bracket. Sadly dollars line up of cars was shoddy, (you might be tired, exhausted and being screamed at by wife and kids, but check the car your taking.) out of 7-8 cars I looked at, 2 had defective seatbelt buckles! (Someone isn't checking the basic safety on these cars) two had no keys in them, 3 were too small for our needs, which left one ropey Chevrolet small SUV, which had chips and scratches all over the rear bumper. (NOTE.... take photos of any damage you see on the car, before exiting the garage) After a couple of days, of 40c heat and frequent torrential afternoon storms, it soon became apparent, that the air conditioning wasn't working well and the drivers side windscreen wiper had perished, which didn't bode well in biblical rain. Too be fair though after 5 days of putting up with this, I headed back to Dollar at the airport and they swapped the car, with no quibble. This time for a Nissan Rogue which significantly better. Would I recommend Dollar? Probably not, they seem to be in demise. I've been through Orlando MCO, more times than I wish to remember, and never been presented with such a ropey band of motors to hire. Thrifty are in the same group, so beware of them too. ... "

" Would have been better to have Dollar staff on hand when I dropped off to assure me the car was checked in. "
" Car was not what I had booked. A very small Ford mini SUV with nr room for luggage in the boot: no boot at all really. Poor gas mileage for such a small vehicle. Beyond that while the counter staff inside were very helpful and clear, the man staffing the booth in the garage was unhelpful, never told me a thing about the controls on the car etc. I think that you are likely got get accidents with people coming out of the rental depot unfamiliar with cars, and this will be Dollar's fault. Finally, construction at Logan meant very treacherous driving the fist hour just to get out of airport and the same returning the car. "

The car had clocked 49,000 plus miles but the engine felt flat and we only got 20mpg, bearing in mind the car was driven fairly conservatively. Really disappointed with this rental. "

" 3 hour experience from checking in to get the car out of the terminal. GPS paid for in advance then was threatened to be charged with an upgrade fee to get a vehicle that had GPS (rental agreement stated that GPS was included). Ended up getting a vehicle without GPS. Will make a claim against for refund for this. Got vehicle loaded up with luggage and attempted to leave the terminal, but was informed on exit that vehicle provided and available for rental was in fact unlicensed. Had to select another vehicle and unload and reload luggage and exit the terminal. An absolute shambles. Thrifty staff generally very unhelpful.

" On arrival at San Francisco airport 30 min before booked collection time we were met with huge queues. We had to queue for 90 mins only to be told they had no cars (unless we wanted an electric vehicle which would cost us £300 extra) and we would have to wait another 90 mins for one to turn up. Very little information from staff, our initial agent being quite rude. No where to sit and wait apart from the floor. The car was booked for 11:00, we didn't get into the car until 14:30 which messed our days up. When I asked could I return it back 3 hours later so I had full days of rental I was told no, I would be charge for an extra day.

" On the morning of our rental, at the counter we were offered an upgrade to a 'T' model for an extra $65. When we went to collect our car, it was not ready. The attendant told us to wait by the benches there. We had to wait 2 hours during which the attendant did not provide any information about when our car would be ready, was extremely rude & dismissive and would walk away or start using her mobile phone whenever we approached her. We had to return to the check in counter three times but were told to wait for the manager (Raven) who eventually appeared. She pointed to 2 cars we could use that were just sitting in the parking area. On leaving, our choice was queried and the manager had to be called again to confirm we could use the car. We checked in at 08:44 and left at 10:41 and so lost 2hours of our day rental. The customer service was appalling and the worst we've ever experienced. "

" See above. I could not recommend Dollar to a friend given my experience of being given an unreliable (old) car "
" The car would not start when I was 5 miles from where I was staying. I spent a long time getting through (in the heat of the day) to customer services who said I would have a 60-90 min wait. When I called back after 45mins my conversation had not been registered and I was told the ETA was another 60 mins. A passing electrician disconnected and reconnected the battery, rebooting the car's computer, and it started. I called Dollar to stand down the recovery. I felt that I could have been stranded for hours if the car hadn't started. I was offered a replacement car and the nearest Dollar was in Melbourne, a 40 minute drive away. I was told by customer services that I could go there. Fortunately, I called the Melbourne Dollar and they advised that they could not change the car because they are independent and that I would have to return it to Orlando Int., two hours away from where I was staying. I didn't do this but was forever nervous about whether the car would start(I knew how to fix it if it didnt). The car was old 2018 and had 52000 miles on the odometer. I felt severely let down by Dollar who left me anxious about driving their car for 10 days of my vacation "

" Dropping the car off at Boston airport was a nightmare and very stressful, and I also had the worry about the toll roads because I wasnt informed about toll roads and payments. I think as a British driver I should have been made aware of the toll system, or if the car was fitted with a transponder. "
" Picked up the car and all seemed ok but when I got to the car I noticed wheel damage and plastic trim on the front hanging off, also the back of the car on the drivers side had a dent in the body work, told staff in the garage and they were not bothered and just told me to take a picture, I took a movie of the whole of the car just to prove that damage was already there. tried to go back to the desk but there was lots of people in the line. On my trip I noticed toll equpment on the roads, I was'nt made awear of this I should have because this is my first time renting a car in the USA but nobody mensioned it. When I dropped off the car I was suppose to refill the fuel tank, but on the day in Boston the police had blocked the roads and I was unable to refill the car, it only had a quarter of a tank left, made it back to the Budget drop off running late because of all the traffic jams, explained to the drop off girl and she said because of the traffic no problem and asked a member of staff to drive us to terminal E so we could catch our flight to London.

" Although staff very friendly they were unable to meet the Auto Europe reservation. Despite reserving & paying up front for a mid size SUV, Dollar ran out of cars of that class and above. The only SUV available was compact Chevrolet Trax SUV which could not accommodate the two cases in the trunk/boot - had to carry the remainder luggage across the rear seat. Very disappointed, the 600 mile road trip was not as comfortable as I had planned, I reserved a Hyundai Tuscan equivalent but was forced to accept a compact car. Lucky only two of us with luggage, if I took the family I would need to rebook with another hire company at the airport. "

The oil service light was on and the steering was veering to one side. There was no other choice of car in the medium suv class and cars of this age should not be offered to customers.

" Never again, I have rented many times with other providers and never had an issue, I sensed something not right at pickup counter , I was right to be concerned, they should not be allowed to operate this way, they gave us a second car we had them check and there were many dings not on the list they gave me , so I would have been charged for them too had I not had them check it, that's the corrupt way they operate and need shutting down, they give you a list of damage that is not true as there is much more...beware "
" Bad condition cars to start and since arriving home they have took the 200 dollars without explanation, we had it checked by staff after returning the first car in our own time back to the airport because of a faulty window, second car wasn't t valeted but we took it anyway.

" After a very long day being on flights for 10-11 hours I went to the rental car desk where there was a very long line of people to collect their rental cars and only 2 agents on the desk. After 2-3 people had been dealt with the female got up , took her coat and left only 1 agent to deal with the line of people that had got longer.

" Although the Auto Europe side of the rental was reasonably efficient it all went downhill on arrival with poor and unwelcoming Dollar staff and indifferent attitude to customers. Poor quality of vehicles which were old, tired and high milers. Returning the vehicle equally dismissive as no one attended to us and we were told just to leave. Never again with Dollar. "
" Waited over an hour and half in the queue to get to the Dollar desk at the airport; everyone in the queue complained about the lack of counter staff - only two in attendance. All other car rental desks had no queues. When eventually seen at the desk we were greeted by abrupt staff whose only purpose was to frighten us into buying additional insurance. Gave them my email and telephone details to receive confirmation of the rental but none received. On picking up the vehicle although having pre paid a full tank of fuel the fuel gauge showed around three quarters. On returning the vehicle prior to flight home there was no one at the depot to see us. Had to go to seek out someone. Eventually a member of staff appeared and told us to leave the keys in the ignition and go to flight check in. On asking if it was possible to check the vehicle with us in attendance we were told again to leave and that they would check it later. Hardly a stress free and smooth experience - one we never wish to repeat and will never use Dollar again. "

" Awful. It took 1.5 hours just to get to the counter to collect our keys. Huge queue with few agents. Locating the car was confusing as we were told to take any group B car, but with no guidance. We then had to queue again for another half hour to leave the car hire centre as they wanted to photograph the car and check my driving licence. Car return was functional but with no explanation as to what to do. Very confusing. We were finally helped by Talea who was ver good.

" The car we were given on arrival after over an hour wait was 4 years old, very basic and noisy, after a week the wheel noise got worse and the car felt unsafe so we phoned Thrifty and was told to take the car back to the airport for a replacement which was over an hour away from where we were staying. the second car was much better quality but there was an oil warning light on which I mentioned to one of the staff but was told the car was ok to drive and to phone if any problems! What really annoyed me was I realized on the way back to our apartment that I had left my mobile phone in the first car, we turned around and went back to Thrifty to be told they didn't know where the car was and to contact there lost property department. My phone did eventually turn up 2 days later but the whole experience was stressful and several hours out of our holiday. "

" See comments above "
" This is a summary of my complaint. Alamo Complaint Case No: 42162612: Date Raised 20 May 2023. 1. My poor Alamo experience started when I reminded the front desk that our reservation included a payment supplement for a GPS, but the agent said none of the cars had a GPS and they had no stand-alone units. I insisted that the GPS was essential and the Manager agreed for Alamo to provide a free car upgrade. Why did Alamo accept my reservation in the knowledge that no GPS was available for my category of car? 2. When my credit card was swiped they said the card was "blocked" and could not be processed. I asked if I could pay cash but was told this was not possible. I then asked to use the agent's telephone to call my credit card provider (my cell phone could not get a signal) but the agent said they did not have a telephone. However I manage to provide another credit card that was operational in the US. 3. I paid an additional supplement for a Toll Pass. But later that day the Toll Pass stopped working with me passing through toll booths displaying "Call Svr Ctr". I then stopped at a manual cash booth and the attendant said I should contact Alamo (I paid in in cash). 4. That same day being concerned and not wanting to incur any toll fines or charges I attempted to telephone Alamo @ Philadelphia Airport without success on 3 occasions without success as the agents "were busy assisting others customers". Considering the message says agents are available 24 hours this was a very poor service. 5. The next day the Toll Pass continued not to work. I then telephoned "Roadside Assist" but was told they could not help as the problem could only be correctly by Philadelphia. I again attempted to telephone Alamo @ Philadelphia Airport without success on 5 occasions each time heard the same message 6. The following day again I a telephoned Alamo @ Philadelphia Airport without success on 3 occasions to hear the same "We apologise for the short delay, all representatives are assisting others customers ...." message. I then telephone Alamo Customer Services who raised my complaint. I told the agent that I would not be responsible for any toll charges, fines or administration costs resulting from the faulty toll pass. The agent assured me that all charges would be the responsibility of Alamo. 7. Failing to see what else I could do I telephoned the number on the back of the toll pass (only open Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:00) and expressed my concern to the agent who also confirmed I would not be responsible for any charges with the faulty toll pass because this was provided by Alamo and Alamo are responsible for its correct operation. 8. On returning the car to Philadelphia Airport I spoke with the Manager who confirmed it was not possible to telephone directly with Alamo @ Philadelphia Airport because they did not have telephone access. I was refunded with $90.83 which was the extra payment made at vehicle collection. 9. The rental experience for myself and my wife was very stressful and upsetting which ruined our vacation. Further, how can Alamo accept a contract for a rental to include a GPS when the car reserved does not have a GPS and stand-alone units are not available? I requested Alamo provide a further 50% refund of the vehicle rental cost (in addition to the $90.83 and not in the form of an Alamo account credit) as I consider this both fair and reasonable which in some small way to compensate us for our stressful and time consuming effort to correct the problems caused by Alamo.

" Booked a car with GPS as part of an advertised offer. When collecting car I was informed by counter staff that thrifty don't do GPSs and it didn't matter what my booking acknowledgement said. Counter staff advised I should use my mobile phone as a GPS unit as I had only rented a cheap car which doesn't have a GPS. This meant I had to take data roaming costs of £6 Per day with my provider. Having paid extra for the advertised offer and my roaming costs Thrifty works out as a very expensive hire company. We were very fortunate that we had the capability of activating data roaming or we would have been stuck in a strange location with no idea how to get to our destination. I will never use Thrifty again nor recommend then to others. "

" I paid for an intermediate SUV and after a long flight had to deal with a new member of staff who was very slow and would not accept help from other staff members. He assured me I would get an intermediate SUV but after 45 minutes we got to the garage and out car was a small economy. I was furious and asked to get what I paid for. They eventually gave me a Honda CRV which had lots of scratches and has done over 54000 miles. As there was nothing else I accepted it as we were very tired and it was now almost midnight. We had this car for two months and when we were due to return it we decided to use thrifty to hire a car for another month. Hoping for a better experience and newer car. We got a very old Dodge journey with over 54000 miles on the clock, even more dents and scratches and no newer features which help with safety such as warning lights to tell you a car is alongside you. The reversing camera is so blurry it is unusable and the car steering is very heavy. Again no other choice was available. I will not be using dollar or thrifty again as the car choice is non existent and cars are dated. I have used Alamo before and always had excellent service and a number of cars to choose from, most quite new cars. "

" car was a new Lincoln Nautilus with only 2800 miles and was a delight to drive for over three weeks. However the car was not particularly clean on the outside and the interior was dusty and not overly clean on the hard surfaces. The overall experience with Thrifty was good but they really should ensure cars are cleaned properly with particular attention to the interior before hand over. I would rent with Thrifty again though. In elation to Auto Europe they are my first preference for rental cars as I like the fact that the level of insurance cover means you turn up and collect the car at site without any need for upselling by the rental staff and their competitive pricing.

" This comment surrounds the recharging of the EV. The car came with 90% charge which was fine. The vehicle came complete with the emergency charge cable which fitted into a household socket and worked fine albeit slowly. The issue came when out and about and attempting to get a recharge from a recharge station, which proved Impossible. I tried connecting via the appropriate app alas no charge and so had to return the vehicle needing to be charged, at cost to me above that which I may have paid had I been able to recharge at the recharge station.
