What a horrible experience trying to pickup a car from them …….

The Avis people that we met were great. If you have not been to the Santa Fe airport you would have trouble understanding. The airport is not small. It is tiny. We arrived at night and the parking lot is barely lit. It took a few minutes, but we did find our car. When we returned the car, it was in the daylight. There were not many Avis spaces, so we parked in an unmarked spot. However, an Avis agent found us quickly and took care of everything quickly and efficiently. So, the controllable things were great. Those out of the staff control were ok.

I felt threatened by an employee and cancelled my reservation after calling customer service. In all fairness employee was alone cleaning a previously returned car, garage door open so I went in. No note on office door that they were closed and employee was sole person on site. I knocked strongly on window and door frame of passenger side, called out, went around side repeating loud noises, rapping and finally lightly touched employee's shoulder-this employee was vacuuming with head phones and totally unaware of any external movement, noise, customer which in retrospect I feel puts themselves is possible danger. Employee reacted with a start, pointed finger close to my face demanding I leave the premises. I had previously tried to contact Avis to extend reservation but only received robot calling which was impossible to accommodate me. It is a terrible system when one needs a person to help and there is no answer even during afternoon. I was a bit shaken and choose not to rent from Avis in any near future. Neither customer service or Kayak due to mechanical answering machines cannot provide service in such a situation.

This Hertz counter was not at airport and apparently not even connected to Hertz except by name. Couldn't get taxi or Uber to airport when dropping off on Sunday. Employees not helpful in dropping car at airport.

No transportation to off-site rental at Santa Fe Airport. Be prepared for a $40-50 Lyft or Uber cost. Agents can be out of office when you arrive. Be prepared to wait.

I CALLED SANTA FE ENTERPRISE OFFICE THE DAY PRIOR TO DEPARTURE, AS OUR FLIGHT WAS RESCHEDULED BY THE AIRLINE AND WE WOULD NOT ARRIVE UNTIL 6 PM. THEY SAID THEY CLOSED AT 5 PM AND I COULD GET THE VEHICLE THE NEXT MORNING. HOWEVER, I HAD RESERVED A SUBURBAN AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE. THEY OFFERED ME TWO OTHER SUV'S BUT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH LUGGAGE SPACE FOR OUR FAMILY'S TRIP. I CANCELLED THE RESERVATION AND WAS ABLE TO GET A TRANSIT VAN THROUGH TURO FOR LESS THAN THE ENTERPRISE OFFER. SUFFICE IT TO SAY, I WILL NEVER CONSIDER A RENTAL AGENCY THAT IS NOT ON THE AIRPORT GROUNDS, AND IS NOT AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER ONLY OFFERING RENTAL AGENCIES THAT CAN FULLY SERVICE YOUR CUSTOMERS. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING MY FEEDBACK!!!

The manager Mike and his staff, specifically, Isiah were enthusiastic, down-to-earth and upfront about the rental options. Their friendly demeanor and eagerness to help were exceptional. They were willing to provide wonderful tips and options for activities beyond the beaten path. Their honesty about the rental options and how Covid has affected the rental market shows they put their customers' concerns first. Thank you!

I wasn't aware there was an additional deposit fee for the rental -- if there was information or details about this it wasn't noted or highlighted enough to inform my decision/commitment of renting from here

The staff was very nice, gave me some clorox wipes to clean up the car (even though it was already very clean, it was just to be sure). Enterprise is also waiving the normal fee to drop the car in a different location, which was incredibly helpful.

It was great, no problems.

Well staffed office knows you are there to get your car and scoot. Manager even introduced himself...very professional. With the great Kayak deal it was a win-win.

We got to the Santa Fe airport at 5:25 pm local time. When we called about picking up our car, we were told the office had closed at 5 pm and we could not get the car. So we had to rent a car from someone else.

How about staying open during reasonable business hours? Closing at 5 pm for an airport rental car service? Are you serious? But if you can't be open during reasonable business hours, how about advising us in advance what the closing time is? Overall, have to give you guys a POOR rating.

The car was good.

They overcharged me. They said the cost was $571 and then charged me for an extra day for no reason.
