We were given incorrect information about our vehicle pickup when our flight was delayed. We were told that an agent would be available and when we arrived it was closed even though we were told that an agent would be there.

Beware of the off-hours drop box for keys! I had a 6am flight from PSP so I had to drop off the car before the Alamo desk opened. Boarded my flight. And my connection. When I got to my destination 5 hrs later, I was informed at the next airport that they couldn’t rent to me… because I had an open contract at PSP! Literally spent 1 hr 45 min at the counter trying to get someone at PSP to answer the phone. No idea why they couldn’t close out a contract within 5 hours of opening. Terrible service. Don’t trust the drop box process.

I had some questions with my rental that they were able to address quickly in person. The staff was super patient despite having so many customers arrive at the same time. They were quick and friendly as they processed customers. Individuals rom Alamo went above and beyond to reach out to me during my rental to make sure I was satisfied with my car and service. I haven't had that happen before with another car rental so it was a nice touch to know that they cared I was having the best experience during my vacation.

The line at the counter was 3 hours long. I stayed for an hour and barely moved. Took an Uber instead. The next day went back and the line was 2 hours long. The counter had 2 people working and every customer was taking 10 minutes because of the upselling being done. Do the upselling online and just check IDs and hand over the keys at the counter.

The rental car facility was a nightmare--I waited nearly an hour in the FastBreak line--with just one other party in front of me. They were understaffed and/or staff was not actually working, their systems were having issues, and they didn't have cars available.

I asked to cancel 2 minutes after booking and fought with Kayak and Hertz about that, to no avail. The non-refundable car reservation is new to me, and should be made more obvious. I will not be using Kayak again. This inflexibility was not appreciated.

Staff was friendly when picking up the car.

The "SUV" was a modest sedan with a hatch-back. Thrifty "support" is very poor, as I needed to consider a change to my reservation and they were not helpful. Additionally, it was difficult to understand the person on the phone. I would not recommend using Thrifty for car rentals.

We rent multiple times a year at Palm Springs Airport. We have used all the various rental companies. This rental from Dollar provided the best price for an amazing SUV. Very good experience. Rental prices have skyrocketed at all companies from previous years. Dollar had the best rates this trip and a much superior vehicle.

We ordered one car for 7 people but they gave a tiny SUV. It was super squishy and was not comfortable. They also had these hidden fees and it ended up costing way more then anticipated. Overall, pretty bad experience. I would rather just rent a car from Turo next time.

Really, really minor, but the button on the dashboard to open the rear door doesn’t work unless the door unlock switch is pressed first, and it took a while to figure that out (this was a CX-9)

The car gave me problems and I was unable to reach anyone for help. One of the tires had a flat and I had to keep filling it with air. I called AAA but there was no spare and the gel to fill a flat was missing, so they couldn’t do anything. The number for Avis in Santa Barbara said it was out of service and when I called the national number, no one answered.

I believe this is a problem that may affect some other rental companies too but BEWARE if you make a same day online reservation!! After taking the last of three busses that arrive at Palm Springs Airport, I was told by the rental agent (who was very nice and apologetic) that they were out of vehicles. I was lucky that Hertz had a few albeit the were a class that was more expensive than the compact I wanted. I woulda been stranded. The website SHOULD NOT allow me make a reservation!!

Lovely people. Very helpful.

I left a portable battery charger and cord in the center console. I went back to the Enterprise desk at PSP within an hour of returning the car. Was told car was on the ‘back lot’ for an oil change. And the back lot closed at 4pm. Promised to call next day which someone did. They found a cord that wasn’t mine ap obviously it wasn’t from my car. I had to buy a new one which cost over half what the car rental was. My fault yes. But either I was being fed a line about the oil change or else someone helped themselves to a charger. Second bad experience with Enterprise on a row. Rental in Portland lasts a month- reserved a compact but all they had was an aptly names Armada or a a pickup truck. I ended up spending over $100 on gas for the week.

Friendly staff. Clean, comfortable ChevyTrax. Unlimited mileage. One-way rental option.

VERY long wait at airport to be escorted to our rental car. Many flights were delayed in arriving; Enterprise check-in counter was not staffed sufficiently. Expensive one-way fee for airport-to-airport.

Wonderful|Feb 2017

The counter staff was nice, thorough and efficient...she walked me to the car, helped me load luggage and told me I could leave the car in the lot until my travel companions arrived later on.

It took more time than I thought it would to go through the check in process & more time to extend the contract for an extra day. I had heard that it was "high season" in PSP, which can jeopardize the availability of a rental being available. The check in attendant was friendly, though very busy with multiple cars that arrived at the same time.
