This is completely bogus. I am a loyalty gold member and used Hertz for years. Never ever has anything like this happened to me. Hertz lost another customer.

The normal emerald aisle selection that I am used to is a nice feature national has. That being said the front desk is staffed by 1-2 people during the day. And when I say staffed that's between National, Enterprise, and Alamo. There is a wait sometimes and others I'm the only one there which is always a plus. The staff are always nice and courteous. The car selections are limited and I'm guessing based on status you may get an upgrade. Both time I came here I was given a Nissan Altima. For what I requested that's an upgrade. I usually request a compact car because I'm cheap. So getting a larger car is nice. It is confusing where to return the car so I just park in one of the open parking spots that say National/Enterprise/Alamo. Returning the car means taking the keys back to the front counter and handing it back or putting the key in a drop box after hours. I feel like the expectation I have for National is appropriate for the type of airport. Small, understaffed, and a limited selection of cars. I am biased to National since I've been renting from them for about 10 years. So I'll give them a break and give them 5 stars for this location.

1-Star Review - Avis Daytona Beach: A Customer Service Horror Story…read more I rarely write reviews, but the experience my wife and I had at Avis Daytona Beach was so unprofessional and upsetting that I feel obligated to warn others -- especially anyone booking through Costco Travel or a third-party site. We had just flown in from Hawaii after a family emergency -- my mother-in-law had passed away. We were exhausted, emotionally drained, and trying to pick up a rental car that was already pre-paid and bundled through a Costco Travel package. What should have been a simple handoff turned into a customer service nightmare. Upon arrival, we encountered Alex, who quickly became confrontational when he saw the booking. His attitude was dismissive from the start -- repeatedly referring to us as "third party" in a tone that made it clear he believed he didn't need to help us. My wife's license had expired, but she had listed me (her husband) as the primary driver when booking -- she's certain of this. But Alex refused to even check or try to assist. Instead, he told us we'd have to "go back onto the Costco Travel system and rebook the entire thing" -- knowing full well we were standing at the counter with low phone batteries, no Wi-Fi, and spotty service. When I expressed frustration (yes, I said the system was "BS" because, frankly, it was), he snapped. And I mean SNAPPED. In a rage, he clapped his hands, made an exaggerated body movement extending his hands up and out, and yelled: "OK, guess what? NO BOOKING FOR YOU. GO AWAY." It felt like something out of a parody -- except we were stranded and being treated like garbage. He then smugly added, "I was trying to be nice." If that was him being nice, I shudder to imagine the alternative. We asked for a manager. He said, "I'm the manager." We asked for his name. He refused to give it. The only reason I know his name is Alex is because a kind employee at another rental desk whispered it to us after witnessing the scene. Even they were shocked. We had no choice but to rent from another company on the spot -- at an additional $500, nearly $200 more than our original booking. And to add insult to injury, I'm now chasing down Costco Travel and Avis corporate for a refund for a service that was flat-out denied. TL;DR: * If you're booking through a third party, especially Costco, be prepared for zero support from this Avis desk. * If you have an issue, don't count on compassion or help -- just hostility. * Avoid Alex at Avis Daytona Beach at all costs. His behavior was not only unprofessional but completely unhinged. Avis, do better. This kind of treatment is unacceptable -- especially in a moment when people are already dealing with loss and stress.

We sign the contracts, adhere to the terms and conditions given to us, we return the car filled up with gas, cleaned out, trash thrown away, and in the same shape and condition as it was at the start of the rental. In late April 2025 we rented a Nissan Sentra from Dollar Rental at the Daytona Beach Airport. The service at the counter was fine, the car was in good condition, and we drove from the airport to see our family. Right before returning the car, as we always do, we filled up with gas and threw out any wrappers or empty water bottles at the gas station. We returned the car clean and filled up - parked it in the lot and dropped the keys off with the staff at the counter - and then boarded our flight home. When we landed an extra charge was reported on my credit card for $100.01 for "interior cleaning." I tried to get someone on the phone, but the only way to reach this company is through an online form. I wrote that we returned the car clean and filled up and asked that the charge was lifted and / or for someone to contact me to explain. Three days later I received an email saying that the rental staff said they had to clean pet hair out of the car. I explained that we don't own pets, clearly did not travel with pets, and that we returned the car clean. They just responded to me (by email, again) with the exact same message about pet hair and that "We completely understand a customer may not wash or vacuum the vehicle prior to returning it to remove normal road grime, etc. However, other similar impurities require more time and detail to remove. In such instances, Dollar will assess a cleaning fee." This is absolutely crazy as we do not own any pets and did not travel with any pets, so the idea of "other similar impurities" (what is that?) is so frustrating. The terms and conditions for Dollar indicates that renters may be charged fess for cleaning that goes above "standard cleaning," which is fair. But cleaning up after a pet that doesn't exist means that above "standard cleaning" is something insane. "Standard cleaning" is also not defined. Don't rent here. I'm still trying to resolve this with Dollar and my credit card company is also trying. This is the first time I have ever written a review on Yelp, or any other site. This is also the first time I have ever sent in a complaint about a company. Do not rent here.

Called customer service and was told to take the car back to the location for exchange. Mind you, 3 people in the car, one had to sit in back, with the spiders. After attempting to vacuum up the spiders we got the majority of them to safely get to the rental location. When we got there, there were no cars available to exchange. We were told that the airport location had one and was holding it for us, but we had to get a Uber there. Once we got there, we ended up getting the same lady, and again, she was very rude, disrespectful and refused to help us. Called roadside, they would not help us due to the fact that we left the vehicle at the other location, per their instructions. We were stranded! All other companies did not have cars available at the time either. 5 hours later, 4 hours at the airport, one of the other companies finally had an available vehicle. There are more issues to this nightmare, I could write a book. At the end...I WILL NEVER USE BUDGET AGAIN.
