Staff both departing and returning were great. Needed Suv and was given as promised

The only negative was there were no floor mats or paper sheet covers for the interior floorboard. The place I was going was rural and muddy, so I had to constantly lay down towels or garbage bags to keep the interior floor carpet clean.

Dollar at the BHM airport is basically nonexistent. There is apparently never any staff at the desk, there is no kiosk in the garage, and no one to help you figure out how to actually get your car. Avoid using Dollar here and just go for a bigger name rental company.

Person that gave us our key at Hertz counter was totally passed out with her head on the counter. Drop off was poorly marked and unorganized. Price on your website did not include many fees added at airport (approximately $95). Price of vehicle was already overpriced for such a budget/ low grade vehicle.

The bad part: The staff member was in such a rush to clock out that they didn’t want to check us in with our rental and told me “you can go back in line and wait on her.” until the other staff (who was already busy with other customers) had to ask him to take care of us. So he grumbled through the process and gave me the keys to a truck without telling us we didn’t get the Camry or a car like we booked until we walked out there and realized it was a full size truck. Not the most comfortable ride back home when you’re expecting an easy to drive sedan. So basically staff interaction was not pleasant sums up the bad part of the experience. The good: It was easy to book online, the value for the price was competitive and the process of pickup and return was simple.

First car I was given had nonstop electrical problems. The CarPlay wouldn’t work and then ultimately an electrical failure rendered the car useless. After several hours, which caused me to miss a critical meeting, I secured a replacement vehicle. The lift gate on that one had to be forced open and closed. When I returned it, the attendant said, “they knew about that.” Won’t ever be using Avis again.

I reserved a vehicle with the intention to tow a camper the next day. I then called the company to make absolutely certain the vehicle had a tow hitch as other companies I have rented from always did. They informed they did not permit towing with their vehicles. I then cancelled the reservation (all within 30 minutes). They charged me a $50 fee for cancelling within 24 hours of the rental, but they, of course, ignored the fact I did so within 30 minutes of making the rental reservation online to begin with. The rental location was closed as I did this late at night, so they had taken no action whatsoever to prepare for my rental. Long story short, I will NEVER do business with this company. Too many others to choose from. Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me. I don't give second chances to do me dirty.

My pickup could have gone better. There was no one in the building with a sign saying “Go directly to the booth outside”. After I went to the booth they said I could have gotten someone inside to help me. They were out of compact cars so they rented me a Jeep Grand Cherokee for the same price.

I was given misinformation on my rental that I had booked 8 days before. I had confirmed everything the night before pick up and was told everything was confirmed and ready for pick up. When I went to pick up the rental the reps told me something totally different regarding my payment that had already been pre-paid. I wasnt happen and on top of that didn't understand why I had to call and cancel the reservation when I was right there @ Hertz. I went to anther rental agency from there and had no problems gettin a rental from them.

The car was like a go cart. The passenger rear view mirror didn’t work, there were dents and scratches, with rust, the dashboard lights were so dim they were unreadable at night, and the tire pressure light was on because the tires were low on air. The drop off was so crowded they just told us to leave the keys in the cup holder and they’d deal with it later. Never had so many issues renting a car or the having a car with so many issues. It was supposed to be a Ford Focus or similar. It was a Mitsubishi Mirage with the bare minimum. Not a great experience. I rented from VIPCars earlier in the week for less $ and got a Ford Fusion that had no mechanical issues. This rental with Hertz through Kayak was terrible
