Booked a rideshare to get from my hotel to the rental office, when I arrived I was told that they canceled my reservation because they do not have any cars available. I told them that a phone call or email would have been nice before I paid for a ride to come here, and the agent pointed at another customer and said “well, he’s been here waiting on a car since 8:00 AM” … I’m not sure what point he was trying to make, but this rental center has very poor customer service.

The van had 2 bulging tires which made the van shake when we drove it not to mention the safety hazard. Took van back and after much waiting and looking for help finally got another van which had a slider the wouldn’t shut Twilight zone feeling

We stood in line at the Budget counter in the Tampa airport for almost 45 minutes to learn our reservation was not at the airport, it was offsite and the office had closed. This was incredibly disappointing and inconvenient as I was traveling with my mother i. Law who required a wheelchair. They were able to get me a car but it cost almost 4 times as much. Bye bye Kayak

Do not rent from this company or its affiliates. Major staffing shortages and mismanagement causing huge delays over 3 hours at most airports
12 was my pick-up time. Got there around 4 and my rental had expired. Had to pay another 50 bucks to rent the same car?

This rental company is a rip off. Felt like I was in a third world country being hustled from the very beginning of this process.

All went well. Car was good, ease of registration was good. However, I was not told about the $2 admin fee for each toll.

I was not informed that supplemental insurance would be mandatory without a physical insurance card. Usually, an insurance policy number is all that is required. This extra insurance drove the cost out of the value range for which it was offered/booked. I can't believe this is legal.

Where do I start with this review first off our flight was delayed 7 hours from Detroit. So I call Nextcar in Tampa to notify them about my situation they said no problem it’s out of your hands. so that being said when we finally arrive in Tampa and get our luggage it’s about 7:40pm so me, my wife and my twin toddlers are in a mad scramble to get to Nextcar, we get there at 7:50pm the female worker asks me for my reservation number i give her every single number I was emailed, I give her my Drivers license, i show her my own insurance slip only for her to say oh you don’t have the Nextcar confirmation number nothing I can do for you, you’re going to have to contact the 3rd party (kayak/Rentalcars.com) and we close at 8:00pm and I’m going home. 7:59 comes she stops helping and walks off in the back only to leave me and my family stranded there! she had zero compassion not even willing to try and look it up. I ended up having to call my cousin 2 hours away to pick us up. I’m absolutely disgusted with Nextcar! so do yourself a favour do not book with them if you find yourself in this situation they couldn’t give 2 f$&ks about there customers because god forbid they have to work 10 minutes after 8:00pm
Collection at the airport was terrible. There was a long line and it took us over 45 minutes to collect our car. There were only 4 people working on the desks and it took at least 15 minutes per customer for no obvious reason at all - lots of standing around waiting while they called down for the car. Not what you want after a long flight. Enterprise stand in contrast had no wait! The car itself was great - nearly new, great condition and a hybrid so very economical. Return drop off was simple
