The cost was cheaper than the big guys but still 3x what I would expect to pay. The check in process was very slow.

Everything about Alamo and the rental car was great, except for one thing. We picked up the car very late, 11:15 pm, due to a flight delay. There was only one agent at the desk, and in working with him to check out the car, I asked if the car has a toll road transponder (having done my homework and knowing that many of the freeways back east are tolled). He said yes, that it did. However, he did not mention how to use the transponder, and provided no additional information on the transponder. Having never driven a rental car on the east coast before, I was unaware that the transponder had to be "opened" in order to be read by the cameras. It wasn't until we hit a toll road with a gate that that gatekeeper informed us that we needed to swing the transponder open for it to work. Unfortunately this was about two weeks into our trip, when we had driven through at least a dozen toll booths in the "EZ Pass" lanes, thinking we were good to go because "we had a transponder"! I come from Washington State, where our HOV transponders are always "on", and the only thing we have to change it to indicate if we are YES to HOV or NO to HOV. We don't have to "open" anything for the transponder to be read. So please make sure that your rental agents always tell people about having to "open" the transponders.

Car was poorly cleaned. Agent was missinv from booth and two other rental car agents went to find ours. Then he started pushing upcharges. When I inspected the car snd found dents and paint chips he was again nowhere to br found to report them. I have used Enterprise for years but this was not a good experience. We did get nice and efficient service at thr drop off in Providence.

I preregistered so picking up the car was a breeze. Car was clean and ready to go. Be prepared as inventory is low and rates are spendy.

Vehicle was pretty new, clean and with a full tank of gas - it handles well. Sounds basic, but I have had issues with these factors at Alamo and elsewhere. Initial rental transaction at Portland ME took a while, and I would have appreciated an earlier alert that I should wait in a different line. Return at Bangor rental counter was fine (though I had assumed they'd have someone with handheld devices in the parking lot. As the car was great, my experience was very positive.

Pretty easy pick up at PWM and super easy drop off at CLE. Car was nice and clean. We could have used a little guidance on the plate pass that we purchased before departing, but we figured it out eventually - AFTER not realizing we had to open it to get it to work.

The pick up in Portland was smooth and easy. However, when I go to Brooklyn I went to return my car (earlier than it was due), the office was closed and there was no one there to receive the car. After calling customer service (who suggested we all drive to the airport to return the cars instead!) along with 5-6 other customers and trying to find an after hours drop box, I had to just lock the car and leave it there only to return in the morning to actually get it checked in and returned. Hugely inconvenient and frustrating. Definitely won’t be renting from budget again.

Watch out for add-ons! I specifically told the clerk that I'd return the call filled with gas but he charged me for a fill on delivery instead. They didn't let me know that the return address had changed during Covid and their phone system is the worst I've experienced.

Unable to contact local rental office with question on hours of operation and flight delay. 888 Telephone operator would not connect me and gave wrong information; it’s ridiculously hard to reach a live person, ever, when dealing with hertz. Agent at pick up provided mediocre service. Impossible to pick up or drop off car without speaking to agent. Overall a frustrating process.

Drop off easy. Staff super helpful.

Rental was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. We traveled in Maine over unfamiliar roads GPS often wrong, particularly in Portland Jetport. Often made last minutes changes in turn directions causing us to miss numerous turns and causing way too much backtracking.

You shouldn’t need a credit card to hire out a car. The website was misleading and a false advertisement as it did not make it aware this was necessary. In other countries a debit card would suffice

Service was excellent. Car was mislabeled and had to go in to clarify the black Escape I was supposed to get turned out to be a white Explorer. Service representative was great. Very professional and personable. Service man in the garage was great was helpful too when trying to figure the car variances. Car had Fla plates and was scratched on the rear bumper. Had remnants of dog hair, anf food especially behind the drivers seat. I had the seat all the way forward so it was very visible in the back seat. Steering wheel was sticky. Car ran great though.

We were told, and I even called the day before to double check what the procedure for dropping the car off after hours and was told " just drop the key in the box at the counter and we will take care of everything". We after we rented another car in another city we found out we had to fill out this form and put that around the key and then drop it in the box. When we got the bill for the first car they added $129 fuel cost to our bill. At the time we dropped off the car we didn't know about the form to fill out so we were changed for an entire tank of gas(it was full). After a phone call and some 15 minutes on the phone it was resolved but this all could have been avoided if the rep on the phone gave us the correct procedure for dropping off the car.

Avis rental pick up and drop off is at the terminal with a very easy process. The staff is courteous, friendly and very professional. The Avis desk serves both Avis and Budget. My car was clean and easy to get in and out. I recommend Avis car rental at Portland Jetport in Maine. Thanks
