Vehicle is new, very comfortable, ran fantastic. Very easy to rent a car at this airport and to return it. The you g lady who took me to my van was awesome!

The guy working at the desk is unfriendly and didn’t seem to enjoy his job working with people. Second time I’ve had the same experience with someone working at this counter at this airport. When I pulled a van around to pick up my family at baggage claim we realized someone had not put the flooring back correctly and it was difficult for them to quickly get in because they were two huge holes when you open the side van doors. We had to find a good spot once we left the airport where we could get out and put the flooring back the way it was supposed to be. I cannot imagine how difficult this would have been if I were picking up children instead of Teenagers. The seats fold down into the floor and someone had apparently pulled the seats back up where they belong but never bothered to put the flooring back right when they were cleaning it.

I had set up the “skip the line” pickup, only to find the kiosk wasn’t working on my arrival. I’d recommend calling ahead to check. Car cleanliness was mediocre; I rented a minivan, and found crackers under the seats and juice box residue on the interior from a previous renter’s kids. My biggest recommendation is to CHECK YOUR RECEIPT! I had filled the gas tank past the “full” line, yet found a charge for 3 gallons at $4.62 a gallon. I called to complain, and they immediately refunded the charge. Overall a mediocre experience.

I could not get my rental because I booked it for them to pick me up. I called Enterprise to confirm this and was told it was good to go... and then when I hadn't heard from anyone after the scheduled pickup time I called. I was told by the location that they do not do pickups on weekends. So I was left stranded and was not offered any alternatives or compensation for my inconvenience.

Car was stripped down, auto transmission and AC, that's it. No GPS, radio, compass, or USB port to charge a cell phone. There was a charging port in the car labeled USB, but it didn't fit any of the 4 or 5 different USB plugs I am familiar with. A non-standard plug of some kind. Not worth the 100.00 dollars a day I paid.

I rented via Kayak as my plane landed in Charlotte and chose Dollar. Thirty minutes later when I arrived at the counter everything was in order. The desk agents were efficient and friendly. I walked into the garage, was greeted by another friendly representative who directed me to my car and I was on my way. Thanks for an excellent experience! Keep up the great work! I have no recommendations for improvement.

I had reserved a commercial van which was quite inexpensive and allowed me to comfortably get some mattresses and boxed furniture in ikea. They indicated they NEVER have commercial vans available so had to literally rent on the spot at higher cost. Looks like you need to update you’re info what is available at rental facilities. This is eco de time this happens at this location btw.

The car was dirty, smoke filled smell, back hatch covered in soot and dirt. The tank was 3/4 full not full as they stated. A dent on the bumper needed to be pointed out. Tire pressure in front right tire was 19 and we needed to pull of road, find a gas station and fill it up. No discounts offered for 3 nights. The bill was $317, hardly inexpensive. A horrible experience will never rent with them again.

The only reason I booked with them was because of their price.

But I guess you get what you pay for. When I first booked the car online nowhere did it say of you are in-state you have to have a credit card or that you have limited mileage. How is this fair when if I was from out of town I got unlimited miles and could use a debit card for the 200 deposit??? Getting to the place is where they tell you all of that. Since I dont have a credit card I waisted money on a reservation with them. They wouldn't let me add another driver to the policy since the reservation was done online (yet online...it's not an option to add another driver). I couldn't use someone's else's credit card with the same last name as me (and who was right there with me to give consent for the use of their card) yet at other car rental companies I have done that before in the past. I needed a car and theirs was cheaper so I ended up getting another reservation with them in someone else's name. With this reservation (although it was also done online) I could now all of a sudden and an additional driver to it. They said when we turn the car back in, any occurred charges could be paid for with another card. When we brought the car back, they lied and said they wouldn't charge us for an additional driver however, they did anyways placing that charge on a credit card that no charge should have been made to. I had absolutely no problem paying for the additional driver, however it would have been done with a debit card so don't lie to me about where it's getting charged to not mess up people's credit status.

There wasn’t a car for me when I arrived to pickup despite having made the reservation weeks ago. I waited for an hour for one to arrive, and eventually received a Prius/sedan despite reserving and paying for an SUV. The man at pickup acted like it was my fault for not knowing this was a common problem. Next time, I expect to be warned in advance that my pickup is delayed, and I expect to be reimbursed for the difference in value of the two cars (sedan vs SUV). Disappointing experience and I’ll be reluctant to use Avis again.

I waited nearly an hour to get my car. I paid for and ordered a Full Sized Pickup (F-150 or larger) and was given a little Escape mini compact suv. I’m 6’4” and was super cramped in it. It was laden with dents / dings, and I could not pickup the mattresses and comforters than I needed to get so I had to pay $500 for delivery. The tank was half full when I picked it up and I was also still charged for the Large Pickup cost.

I was told yes of course that is fine only to get to the location and the cancelled my reservation.
