I purchased my own additional insurance cover and explained this to the person at the counter, however they still added $185 worth of insurance I didn't need or ask for. After some time on the phone to customer services on our return home I manged to get them to credit my account.

Budget added on additional charges that were not explained and far exceeded those suggested by QEEQ. I had no idea they were coming as the process was not explained to me it was simply deducted at the end and did not resemble any charge suggested by QEEQ. Budget seems to have no way for me to rectify this short of phoning and sitting on the phone for hours, they have no email contact details. I am thoroughly dissuaded from renting from them again.

No era el auto rentado, aun así pudimos salir adelante. Pero se recomienda que cuando uno renta uno, aunque pongan un auto (marca) o similares, se asemejen más.

Lovely car - was very happy to be driving a hybrid - a Ford Fusion. Handled really well and very comfortable. Counter staff were very helpful. It was busy so I had a bit of a wait but not too bad - I was out of there in 15 minutes.

The car was great, but I didnt get, what I ordered, but an SUV, which was a bit more expensive in gas. Also I had to wait for 1 1/2 hours when picking up the car due to that Hertz had leased more cars than they had.

Avoid them! Way to pushy trying to get you to purchase add-on's and she even tried to get me to take a bigger car. There was only me, so why on earth she thought I'd need a bigger one was beyond me.

The staff was courteous and the car was nicely cleaned. Just a heads up Ace will make you purchase their liability insurance. Although that was the case, the rental was well worth the money spent.

The car service is good and the return process is really easy. Although they would try to sell an extra tank of fuel at pickup, which I would advise against as it is cheaper outside and also they exaggerate the tank capacity of the car to overcharge.

Two front tires were not good. Dollar should never have rented the car out with tires in such poor shape.

The comment when booking on line to “similar” is so deceiving. We had 13 individuals so truly needed it.

Agent at counter asked me if a Mitsubishi Galant was ok? I said "yes that's fine". At the end of the transaction I went to go look for car at the spot and it ended up being a Ford Fiesta instead. Not what she stated, so I was disappointed about that. And the fact that the car was not washed. SMH

The service was great, but there were so many hidden fees and they tried to charger me 35 cents per mile. I would rather just pay more and go through another vendor.

Car was 2017 with many miles. Price was notthe same as my confirmation. For that price I could have rented a newer car.

The car did not even come close to my expectation. Never before have I rented a car that was a bare bones as this. When I reserved the car I expected to get a basic car. But this was way below basic (no power anything, windows doors) and then they tried to upsell/upgrade me at the counter for even just a basic car. if I would have know that was what I should expect I would have rented from another company and gotten a better car for the same price.

The hidden fees were horrible at payless car rental. I will NEVER rent from them again. 2 week rental for $244 was the reason I went with them, then they put an extra $250 holding fee then they booked me for mileage when my mileage was supposed to be all included. No one told me that I couldn't travel to Sanfran. The lady at the desk specifically asked me where I was going and I told her San francisco and she didn't mention it to me at all! So I was charged an extra $150. At that rate of $650. I would have been better off going with budget or enterprise or anything other than payless... you definately do not pay less at payless car rentals.

I was under the impression when booking my car that there would not be any extra charges after my initial payment, as I paid for the car in full at time of booking. However, when I arrived they charged an additional amount. I am disgusted by FOX and would not use this company again.

I did not get away from the counter until after 12:30 am. Line was long and slow. Nice people, but the process took WAY TOO long. At the rental I booked in Sacramento later in the week, it tool FAR less time to process things and there was not ADDITIONAL insurance required. I am going to check on the insurance that your company required. I had a BMW 530i that required no additional insurance???

Counter staff at pick up very pushy trying to get us to upgrade. Said he wasn't happy with our choice of car for safety reasons!! Only driving from SD to LA! He said it had no luggage space, no cruise control and no Bluetooth connectivity. It had all 3! Would put me off using Alamo in the future.

The after care from Alamo after pickup was excellent. They proactively contacted me to ascertain if I had any questions and provided quick responses to a couple of enquiries I made.

Counter staff added extra options to my booking without my approval. Good thing I picked up on the extra charges and told him to remove it. While it's to Alamo's interest to get customers to buy more options/extras, it's ethically wrong to sneakily add the options to the reservation without consent.

After having to wait for 2 buses to get to the off site rental office, we had to wait another 45 minutes at the rental car counter to get the car. Service at counter was EXTREMELY slow & unfriendly. We booked a 2 door economy car. When we finally got waited on, the only car available to us was a full size VAN (which was VERY difficult to get around in in Mission Beach)!! When we said we didn’t want a van, the only consolation MEX offered us was to cancel the rental. Dont know the point of making a reservation with this company when they don’t honor the reservation. Not worth the discount price. DONT USE THIS RENTAL COMPANY.

The MEX folks were very nice and helpful. The only drawback from renting from them was that the rental location requires 2 shuttles to get to; airport to airport shuttle drop off to rental location, so there's a fair bit of waiting involved.

My booking is for a Toyota Camry but i was told that all their Camry are out so they gave me a Hundai Accent. I told them i don't want a Hundai but they said they don't have anything else. I don't have any other choice but to take the Hundai. I was expecting for them to give me an adjustment on the price i paid. I hope my point and would expect a credit from you. Thank you for your consideration!

Advantage charged my credit card and stated our gas tank was not full at drop off. We specifically found a gas station that was open at 4:45 am to fill up our gas tank. This fraudulent charge is very concerning about company practices.

Dislike: At the beginning they told me that I have to pay another 200$for insurance liability. I was very upset since you told that I am not going to pay anything at the counter. Then they told me that I don't need to pay that. That was a relief.The other point is that they asked me if I like to pay 10$/day for tolls so I payed for 8 days and I used it twice. It would be better if they explained how much does it cost each time because I saw on the highway that I was able to pay it on line
