When I went to the Hertz counter at terminal 2 in Minneapolis at 9:pm on Saturday Jan, 7, 2023 they were closed. Me, my disabled wife in a wheelchair and three bags were informed that we needed to take a shuttle to terminal 1 to get the car. It was 8 degrees and we had come from South Florida, and were in shorts. What an outrage! We had to take a $120.00 cab to our location. The service was typical of what you can expect in Joe Biden's America.

We were originally told it would take 2 hours to get our truck; totally understandable since it was a holiday weekend. We waited 5 hours to then be told they didn’t have any trucks. Luckily we were given an SUV instead but the fact that they rented us a car they didn’t have was very frustrating and the waiting with no communication was awful.

When we arrived at the Hertz counter we were told that it would be a 1-2 hour wait before a car was ready. We were also told that they could only phone us when the car was ready if we were in the terminal. The counter agent was worthless. We cancelled our Hertz rental and went to another car rental agency.

I booked through Kayak for a substantially lower price than any other rental company (I usually go directly through Enterprise.) When I get there they have a price that is almost $200 more! I had to show my conformation email and a manager had to get involved! Then they charge you a $500 hold if you use your debit/bank card or $200 if it's a reg credit card on top of the rental amount. I have never had Enterprise do that! We got in a bit earlier than expected and they also want to charge $150 per extra hour of use. Over all it waa a pretty frustrating experience and hard lesson learned. I will never rent through Thrifty again!

Pick up was chaotic with several cars untenable due to smoke smell. No one to help with pickup which resulted in having to take a larger size car and being told on exit that it would be more expensive. Car we choose was also only 1/2 full w gas. Drop off was totally different. The desk staff was very helpful and made sure we were not up-charged or charged for gas we didn’t use. Good customer service.

I wasn’t use to just dropping the car off and go without having someone there to verify the condition of the car, that the keys are in the car and to print me a receipt. I believe if they are going to do things this way they should have an automated announcement or signage stating the change.

Waited in line 90 minutes, then was told after getting checked in it was another hour wait for my vehicle. Finally got called to go to pick up my vehicle and got to a 2nd counter in the rental ramp, only to be told there is no vehicle, and that they were all reserved....confused because I also reserved a vehicle, I asked why did I have to wait an hour just to be told there was no vehicle, their response was "we were hoping a return would have been made in that time, try renting from avis". So went up a floor, stood in line another hour, and while I was in line I reserved, paid for and checked in for a car, and once reaching the front of the line, was confirmed and sent on my way. The fastest part of dollar was getting my rental voided. Avis was much better than dollar.

We reserved and paid for a 7 passenger SUV. They gave us a 5 passenger car. It took three times of us going up to the car on the airport parking garage and back to the counter inside to get it right and then they forgot to give us the correct ticket to scan to leave the airport. It took over an hour to get the act picked up and leave the airport because of this.

The car pick up went smoothly and the car was nice. The problem was with the drop off. We dropped the car off in the designated area and left the keys on the dashboard and proceeded on with our trip. A few days later while checking my emails I looked at the receipt and found they charged us an additional $700! The car was returned on 2/12 as scheduled but they billed us through 2/16 along with an additional "late fee". We had been in Mexico for 5 days when they say the car was returned. I've exchanged numerous emails (because I was out of the country) and the issue is still not resolved. I will 100% skip Payless next trip!

We enjoyed an easy check in with a very good/new vehicle. The only issue was that the vehicle did not get cleaned/washed. The car had some trash in cup holders, but it drove well and did well. The return and final invoice was exactly as quoted.

The staff could not have been any more friendly and helpful. We got exactly the car we needed for driving on snowy roads. Our car did great in the sub-zero temperatures we had during the week. The Return process was amazingly efficient and seamless. The layout of the return lanes was great. It took less than 10 minutes to return the car, get our bags checked into the Delta counter, and walk to the TSA Security Area. Will definitely rent from Alamo on next trip to Minneapolis.

Great! Car, was a bit difficult to find a terminal but easy drop off. Our original car rental agency gave away our car and we had no car. I went to the counter to ask if Alamo had any cars and they said no, reservation only, and sent us away. I then went on to Kayak and made a reservation in 2 minutes with Alamo, and went right back to the counter. She could have just told me to do that instead of being short and telling us there were no options for cars. Outside of that everything was great

2021 Nissan Rouge didn't have the most basic accessorie or option of " cruise control " . Believe me , I checked the owners manual..... I rented this vehicle for 10 days , paid over 1,400.00 dollars . I drove almost 2000 miles in Excruciating leg numbing pain. The drive was a living nightmare and I regret renting a car from your company. NEVER AGAIN !!!!!
