Cheap Car Rentals in San Luis Obispo

Staff was efficient and quick.

Check carefully if you have a one way rental as the cost more than 100% more to avoid surprises

Bait and switch on the pick-up location. I asked for in-town, then the morning of, a half-hour before pickup, switched the pick-up location to the airport. They asked me to sign a from saying the car was in perfect condition when I received it, which would have been fine if I was allowed to actually look at the car before signing it. When I pointed out this ridiculousness, they were annoyed.

Check in good. Inside of windshield was so dirty when driving into sun it was difficult to see.

Did not have the size car I reserved. Wanted to put me in something much bigger I had never driven before. We’re just organized and slow to bring any car, so I finally left and went to Hertz. Never again.

United Dropped me in DC and I had to Rent a Car to Drive myself home to VA Beach. I requested a FULL SIZE Car and got a Little KIA. It didn't even have Electric Seats or a Rear Window Wiper. The Driver who took us from Airport to Avis was Very Rude and insisted on playing his Radio Loud even when I explained I needed to Make an Important Phone Call.

Please note there are two Hertz locations - one at the airport and one down the road. There was a lack of communication between them both and they each seem to be staffed by just one person.

Upon the recommendation of my significant other, we called Hertz to verify our reservation for a car with pickup set for July 9, the original reservation was made in January 2021. We called the Hertz location we were picking up from directly. The representative we spoke with told us someone had called and cancelled the reservation on July 5. When we questioned the person who had cancelled the car as neither of us had called Hertz to cancel she responded "the cancellation came from central reservation." She then told us they did not have the car we reserved and would not provide any alternatives other than giving us the number for Avis. I continued to ask who cancelled the reservation and she kept attempting to gaslight us and explain to us how we had cancelled the reservation. Rather than find a solution she then hung up on us. The fact we reserved the convertible for an affordable price months in advance, coupled with the fact Hertz had no convertible leads me to believe Hertz merely cancelled our reservation without any notice and rented the convertible for a higher price. This caused us to rent the car for a higher price since it was last notice. I will never rent from Hertz again.

The car was not available at the pickup time. I spent the money in the Uber in vain and even the rest of the day no rental car to pick up was guaranteed. And that after having gotten a confirmation and emails from you. What an unreliable service !!! I will not book cars via you and priceline anymore. At least the guy in the rental car office was honest, but that didn't give me my agreed to car. Highly disappointing!
