My flight was delayed and the counter closes at 11. I was stranded at the airport at 1 am. The phone representative for enterprise thought it was funny. He laughed out loud at my situation.

Nothing, was unable to use Enterprise

I booked reservation for 9pm. My flight was delayed 1.25h and when I arrived in Memphis, the Enterprise desk was closed. There was no warning or anything about it closing at 10p on the website or anything and at the desk no instructions on how to go about getting my rental from another desk. Had to walk around for an hour finding another rental place. At least 4 other parties were left stranded without rentals at 10p on a Thursday night.

Has to wait a little longer to get the rental once I arrived but not unreasonable long I guess

I booked with another rental car company. I arrived at 9 PM to find 16 other customers waiting for cars that they had reservations for. I immediately booked a car with Alamo, picked it up and was on my way in about 15 minutes. Thank you so much for saving the day.

Flight in was very late. Arrived at car rental counter about 10 minutes after posted closing time. Usually, especially at a big city airport, car rental places stay open late. At least this time, Memphis Alamo was closed. Technically, not their fault, but not mine, either. Even though I had reserved a rental car weeks in advance, I had to use a different company. I can only hope they won't charge me for a car not rented.

The pickup and drop off process are extremely easy. The vehicle I rented left some to be desired. It smelled funny and the dash and infotainment center were not clean. Otherwise, it was a great experience.

When we arrived at the Memphis Airport at 0900 with a reservation, we expected to get a vehicle fairly quick. However we ended up waiting for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The lady working appeared to be disinterested with anyones concerns and refused to offer any help. In the meantime I walked to the second floor and saw several vehicles available that were being held for Avis Preferred and were still in the lot when we finally received our car almost two hours later.

We arrived at 7:00 to pick up a car we reserved at Memphis airport. When we arrived we were told (unapologetically) that there were no cars available, that there was a waitlist 20 families long and that we would get a car as each car came in and they worked down the waitlist. They were flippant about the fact that there were no cars available and when I asked why, her comment was, “they overbook”. We waited about 1.5 hours for a car. We ran into a family that got there around 7:45 and they had the unfortunate luck to not get a car till midnight. Apparently, people that came in after them were turned away at night, carless. Shame on Avis for overbooking!

When I arrived, one person was available to assist. She instructed me to wait for someone else. Then she asked for my drivers license and started the process. She kept her window closed, requiring me to speak from an open window at the other end of the booth. When the second attendant appeared, I moved down and spoke through the glass that she opened briefly. Next, I was ask to quickly fill out documents and handed the keys and my receipt. I located the car and noted scratches on it. To avoid responsibility, I ask for a pre- inspection document noting the damage. She said that she forgot to tell me I could address that with the attendant on the way out. In sum, the communication was not acceptable. When I returned the car, there were at least 20 parked in front of my car. There was no attendant to check me in, provide a post inspection clearance, and confirm the car had a full tank of gas. Somewhere signs posted to leave the keys in the car, but I did not see one when I drove in. So, I walked to the booth and waited in line for at least 10-15 minutes to inquire about the return protocol, but I had to wait as the attendant had to let two people out with rental cars. She then told me I had to leave keys and that the vehicle would be checked in later. This disconcerting given the liability you assume in renting a car. So in sum, this was a mediocre experience at best. This location needs more people with communication skills who prioritize customer service.

Pickup up was slow, vehicle wasn’t ready 1st vehicle given window cracked and huge nail in vehicle so they filled the air up to the max returned, 2nd vehicle no oil change returned, 3rd vehicle manger stated that due to their fault and additional discount was added and I still had to pay over a $100 just in airport fees that weren’t included in my rental. Never using this service again.

There were no available cars at Memphis, even though I had booked many months in advance. We were told that the wait would be at least a couple of hours. It was more. Many people like us booked a particular car for a particular time, but they did not have any - even for preferred customers. They also charged me over three thousand dollars for one way for 10 days. Someone needs to do what Uber did for taxis and Carmax has done for car sales. The car arrived - compact - decent enough - but smelling strongly of smoke. By this time I couldn’t refuse the car. Anyway, the car performed well during the trip and drop off was quick. It really is unforgivable that Hertz can book you cars that they do not have. False advertising. You can imagine the scene at the desk - the counter staff were doing their best and performed well under the pressure. I wish a Hertz CEO could stand like 100 of his customers and go through what we go through.

Kayak, Priceline or whatever does not give drivers all information need before renting a vehicle online through them. They don't tell you that you have to have enough money left over on your credit card to cover a deposit at the counter had me thinking I didn't have to pay anything at pickup. So, I used my card again after I booked and didn't have exactly 200 dollars for my deposit there was no other way to pay couldn't use another major credit card or pay with cash as I tried everything they wouldn't give me a refund Hertz is the company I booked to use at pickup they tell me to ask Priceline for a refund back and then there is Priceline telling me to ask Herzt for my refund so I'm thinking this maybe a loss so for anyone out there don't believe them they just tell lies go straight to the company that you plan to use because these third party people ain't worth the names they call themselves

The ladies at the desk were nice. However, I had to wait almost an hour for my car. I’m not quite for sure why I needed a paid reservation if my car isn’t going to be ready. I will definitely consider other rental companies if I have to wait that long.

I was NOT impressed with the type vehicle and pick up process at the airport in Memphis, TN. I arrived at Dollar car rental at 5:30 pm on OCT 6, 2021, and found the pick up area closed with a sign posted to "pick up the to rental car at Hertz!" I stood in line at Hertz for nearly an hour waiting to pick up the rental car. Due to the volume of business at Hertz, there was nobody available to answer my questions about the functionality of the rental vehicle. The headlight visibility on the rental car (Ford Focus) was poor. Also, with Memphis, TN, being an extremely high crime area, I was very uncomfortable with driving a rental vehicle there for 3 weeks with Nevada license plates.

Booked with Thrifty via Priceline, and when I arrived at rental car kiosk at Memphis airport, I was surprised by the long line. After waiting about 35 mins with minimum movement, and seeing disgusted faces coming from kiosk, found out they oversold and had 0 cars available. Apparently they do this quite often, as after booking with another more trusted rental car company next door, they stated it happens all of the time. Was able to get a refund via Priceline, but Thrifty needs better organization. Disappointing.

Staff was friendly, car was clean, everything worked.

1. No car was available when we arrived, in spite of my efforts earlier to ensure there would be. We were lucky that a car appeared within 20 mins. 2. The air pressure warning was on the entire 8 days. I added air to all tires but the warning persisted. 3. Too much time spent waiting for receipt to be printed upon our return. Avis doesn’t seem to try harder anymore.

Nothing. They are horrible.

When I arrived to pickup the car at 1pm on a Thursday there was no one at the counter and there had not been an attendant for some time. The rep from Avis at the next counter gave me the same deal since no one was working at Payless. Also, when I called to inquire about a baby car seat the automated phone system required that I provide an "Access Code", whatever that is, to complete the call and I was not able to get anyone on the phone to assist. I will never use this junk company again.
