Professional staff for both in and out. Hyundai was a hybrid ran great and all week on 7 gallons of gas...nice ride. Drop off took les than a minute. Got receipt via email as promised. Cost was less than expected. I will seek them out again on my next trip.

I thought the new arrangement of terminal & rental cars at BDL was horrible…it used to be that the Rental cars were located adjacent to the Terminal, and now they have been moved to a space nearly 500 yards from Baggage Claim #1….and it’s up hill…!! AWFUL

I was so impressed with Alamo during my recent trip. I was traveling with two oversized duffel bags and three kiddos and when the staff on site at the return area saw my luggage, they offered to drive us to the departure drop-off rather than make us walk with all our stuff. It was such a wonderful offer and I was so impressed with the customer service. There was also a friendly staff member waiting when we entered the garage to help us pick out a vehicle, with many good options to choose from. Overall, very impressed with my experience.

Cost, Pick-up process, Rental Condition and Quality

Drop-off of rental car. When I went to drop off the rental at 330am the morning of my flight (6am), the rental location was closed. I had to call road side assistance/directions support. Turns out the location is closed until 5am and that Thrifty rentals were to be returned to the Hertz location. I had no problem with the return, but it was stressful to deal with before an early flight in a city I am not familiar with.

convenient location, quoted price (actual price was significantly more!)

When dropping the car off, there was only one employee behind the counter working with a couple. He asked if I was dropping off and then told me to "move the car over there." He didn't say "please" or ask nicely, simply commanded me to do it. I walked back in and he eventually told the couple he'd be back and disappeared for at least 5 minutes. A shuttle driver finally showed up and I walked outside and asked if I could drop the car off with him, explaining that the person behind the counter just disappeared. He said, "I'm just tired of doing returns." He did help but the service and the latter employee complaining about his job left much to be desired.

The pick up attendant was the best part of the rental experience. She was quick and friendly and overall helpful. Sadly it went downhill after. The car was filthy and had obviously not been cleaned after the last person. There were glass water bottles rolling around the back seat, trash in the trunk and crumbs and stuff all over the rest of the car. The service light was on and the brakes made a loud noise for the 2 days I had it.

Never again will I rent through kayak/rentalcars.com. I prepaid for my booking. Then, Dollar added a bunch more fees after the fact. Really defeats the purpose of searching and comparing in the beginning. Never again.

I was given a smokers car. I should have taken it back but I didn't. At the end of the trip the fellow that checked me in dropped the price by $100 to compensate for the smell of the car.

Check in and dropoff were great and car was fine. My only complaint is that it was never made clear nor explained to me that there would be a $500 hold placed on my debit card on top of the price of the rental. I understand the reasons for doing it, I just don't like that it was not explained to me at check in.

Horrible horrible horrible. They gave me a broken car, and it took them half an hour to swap it. I asked for an extension accordingly (just the 30min), and was harassed by both of the agents at the site - even while one was helping another customer! It was a horrible experience and I won’t use budget or Avis again (same counter).

Before returning the car, I filled up with a full tank of gas outside of the JFK Airport. When car was returned, the gas odometer pointed to the full level but no one really came to check it. Only after I received the receipt afterwards, it said the gas tank was 13.4 gallon and when they gave me the car it was 14 gallon. So they charged almost $6 based on their rate of almost $10/gallon. I think this is a ripped off. Budget just wants to make extra bucks here and there. When I first got into the car, the dashboard showed what's in the tank cam still drive about 525 miles. After I filled up and returned the car, it showed the gas can drive 541 miles, which means I returned with actually more gas than when I got the car. Never rent from Budget again.

There was a chunk of the tire missing when we went to pick it up. We drove 13hrs and the rotors and brakes were in terrible condition and the tires had no tread. The wheel would shake when trying to stop. Very upset budget couldn’t take the time to look over brakes and rotors before customers came to pick the car up. I was surprised we made it to our destination safely it was that bad

The check in process to get the car was awful. The combination of both Budget and Avis was confusing for most people because it wasn’t clear you could use either to check in. Staff was overwhelmed with the volume and several staff members seemed to be disengaged.
