Next car may be your next car also. All car companies @BWI are all off site together and require a shuttle, so go with the cheapest for the size you like essentially. ( Except SiXT which had poor service in past).

The car was good, pick up was ok and fairly easy, but drop off was confusing (maybe blame Google maps for taking me the wrong way) and no one in the booth to take back the car, so I had to walk towards check in counter before the assistant from the counter met me half way and took my keys. No receipt received, so only guessing at the “extra” fees incurred.

This was the best car rental experience I have had in 30 years. I had never heard of Nextcar prior to this rental in Baltimore. The previous renter had smoked in the car and it was late so I “just went with it.” I changed my mind a couple days later and not only did they immediately give me a new car but upgraded me without a moments hassle. The exchanged car was ready when I arrived. They will be my first choice next time.

I went to the counter but didn't finish the booking since the agent required that I produce all of my insurance papers not just my insurance card...which I had. This is the typical proof of insurance. They had some questionable reason for this requirement but it was obvious that it was just a ploy to force me to purchase their expensive insurance. I walked away and didn't finish the booking.

Did not rent. Cancelled.

Cancelled because of the $500 deposit, rule restrictions for local drivers and the customer service was lousy. They were like robots reading a script regarding the rules and regulations. Highly unprofessional and rude. I went across the lot to AVIS which owns Payless and got a car cheaper on the spot, no rules or deposit of $500. I did report this experience to the Better Business Bureau. I booked online and none of these rules were posted. Unsatisfied, never to return customer

My reservation was for a Nissan Pathfinder (3 row SUV) or similar. I received an email the morning of my reservation confirming my reservation was up to date. I arrived at BWI car rental building and I was told there would be a 4 hour delay to pick up my car. I was told I couldn't leave the premises as they would be calling out loud my name whenever a car was available. Whenever I went to the desk to ask for an update I would get a terrible look and a "I don't know sir" response. I waited and waited with two hungry 4 year old twins in the waiting room until I was finally approached and told that no 3 row SUV vehicles had been returned and that they couldn't tell me how much longer it would be. I had to accept a chevy equinox (much smaller 2 row SUV) that reeked of cigarette smell and we barely fit for the same price. I feel that the same way that people are penalized / charged for returning the car late, I should receive a refund for being given my car 4 hours later and a car that was lesser than what I paid. Terrible experience overall with very poor communication from staff.

Although it was dollar rent a car, dollar counter was closed at BWI and I had arrived right at 7am. But there was a sign to go to the Hertz counter. Once there, I was first told that I should go back to the dollar rental counter and wait for her to open up. I looked at my watch it was already 5 past 7am. So the woman at Hertz went ahead and completed my rental, and I thought that was awesome...

When we got to the rental counter we were told they did not have any cars even though we had a reservation. We had to wait over 2 hours for a car that wasn’t the type we reserved. Several other people were told the same thing as we waited. They offered us an electric car & said it was all they had. When we were looking the car over and trying to figure out where to find a place to charge it, a nice employee who just happened to pass by, indicated there were two non-electric cars next to the electric cars that were available. Why weren’t we offered one of these to begin with? When I went to return the car several days later, there was someone at the counter who had already waited 2 hours, and was being told it would be another 2 hours. How does this happen when reservations are made? Won’t be using dollar/thrifty again.

The car interior was clean. That's about the only good thing it had going. The check-in process was hasty and not much care taken. Gave me 3/4 tank of gas but marked full on contract. Car had a bunch of scratches that weren't marked down on the contract. I asked for an SUV, they gave me not quite an SUV but a crossover with less cargo space than a standard car but a gas gozzler nontheless. I've been renting with Enterprise for over 10 years now and they were my preferred rental company. But my last couple of rental experiences with them have left much to be desired.

Pickup was a disaster. They said they had no cars -- why do we make reservations? It took an hour to finally get a car. The attendant pointed at the Tesla we rented and we asked her about charging cables (so we could plug in at a more easily found "level 2" charger, not just use a Supercharger) and she just shrugged. Drop-off was also frustrating because the attendant didn't know if we get recharged for using a Supercharger or just a flat fee, so we left without knowing what the charges were (turns out it's $35 if you return it with less than 70% and also you will be recharged for whatever you ring up at a Supercharger). The car was great, the facility is overtaxed and understaffed.
