Long Lines, far longer than the other rental carriers and noticed their customers in and out much faster than Budget. Car was in great shape and got great MPG for Alaska. The drop-off was somewhat strange, note: Gas Stations are a bit of a distance from the airport so keep that mind if you're planning on filling up before dropping off. The Key-Drop was unusual, luckily an attendant was there to assist.

Searched for 6 months and found this to be the best price in Anchorage. Reserved a sedan, but was upgraded to VW Tiguan at no extra charge. No difficulties with pickup or return. Not a Budget issue, but ANC should have more luggage carts available.

Budget pulled a bait and switch. I reserved a car in January 2022 for our June 2022 vacation. I received a confirmation. I was able to obtain a very good rate because I reserved it ahead of time. However when I called two days before our trip to reconfirm my reservation I was told that the reservation had been canceled. They claim that I canceled it, which I never did . Further there was no cancellation email ever received by me. When I asked to speak to a supervisor they transferred me to three or four different employees who either transferred me to someone else or hung up on me. When I finally was able to speak to someone they said they couldn’t help me, the reservation had been canceled and there’s nothing they can do. BUT, they said that they had the same car available that I had originally reserved and would be happy to rent it to me for THREE TIMES the original quoted price. Budget is a scam! I will never rent from them again. I would never recommend them to anyone.

When we arrived at Anchorage to pick up rental we were told our rental was cancelled by corporate because the rate we got was too cheap. Our rental was supposed to be $227 when we booked in January. They said they would give us a deal for $50 a day plus tax bringing our total just over $600. We asked to talk to manager who finally gave us the rate we booked to in his words “just get us out of there”. We watched the do the same to other renters behind us. The ones we saw just went with it. Shows lack of integrity on budgets part for the switch and bait. Whether it was corporate or the manager at anchorage airport budget show some integrity and honor the rates which you put out. Only time I’ve ever rented a car that someone has tried to taken advantage of me.

There was no car. I got a confirmation number and the Enterprise people called the day before our trip and said the confirmation number and reservation was computer generated, not human. VERY upsetting since we were to spend ten days driving around Alaska. I will NEVER use Kayak again. Enterprise said they knew NOTHING of a reservation.

My plane was delayed until after they close so I called prior to let them know that I would come in the next day for the reserved car. When we showed up in a snow storm, they did not have a vehicle for us to use as we had requested an SUV. The agent was unable to assist me and needed to confirm with the manager before “figuring something out for us”. I waited over 20 minutes and finally gave up and left to go rent from another company.

The car was overpriced considering the amount of cars in the garage. Also, I listed a simple 12:00 PM as my pickup time. I never had this problem before but was told I was very late and my car wasn't available. They then had a convenient half off for an upgrade. If the car had been smaller it would not had been what I intended anyways. Next time I'll stick with Enterprise.

Some time after exiting the rental facility the check engine light for oil service needed came on which was frustrating given the amount of mileage we anticipated driving. The comfort of a Toyota 4Runner is average at best. The seats are very rigid and overall comfort significantly decreases the perceived value of renting it.

I arrived Saturday around noon and there was only one person in line in front of me. I had a very friendly person at the counter. He did tell me they do not accept the 3rd party insurance I had purchased through Allianz but they took the name of my regular car insurance to use instead. This was fine for me but could be a problem for someone who doesn’t have car insurance back home. When I went to get my car instead of being a small Chevy spark hatchback I had reserved it was a ginormous SUV. I went back to the desk and they weren’t able to give me a small economy but they gave me a brand new 2022 Toyota RAV4 hybrid. I was in Alaska for the weekend but had rented a compact since it was what I could afford. It was great to have the RAV4. Upon return check out took about 1 minute and was easy. Overall, I had a decent experience and lucked out on the economy cars being overbooked :)

Agent kept trying to upsell which was irritating. Studded tires in a winter location should be mandatory and not cost extra. Gave me a car with no windshield wiper fluid! So unsafe with the weather/road conditions. Had to buy some and put it in. When I returned the car, the agent seemed to not care at all. No apology or anything.

The agent that we worked with at the desk was friendly and did upsell us from a Chevy Spark to an VW Atlas SUV and did let us know that there would be a $60 price difference per day. We accepted that and accepted his initial final charge. He did NOT tell us the check out process with the car upon leaving the airport and no one was working at the booth for check out when we were leaving and we already were running late because the process took longer than it should have. The tank was only half full when we got the car and the car did not have America USB chargers for our phones (only micro USB). Again, had we known this, we would have not taken that car but again...there was no one working the booth and we had to be to our next appointment. Upon returning the car, the woman checking us is was not friendly or accommodating. Then, when we asked her for a copy of the checkout report after she told us "everything looks good, you are free to go" she let us know that someone would email us a copy along with a receipt. Well, we have not received a check in report or an itemized receipt and we were charged way more than we were had initially been told. We were already being price gouged for a three day car rental and now we have additional charges that we were not expecting. The whole process added stress to our trip and now is causing a massive headache after the fact.
