    The next day the car did not start and was told they will get a road side assistance but will be charged extra. It has just been an awful experience!!!

    Policy for cleaning fee

    The staff at this location is so rude and dishonest. I couldn't add an additional driver even though I had a copy of their DL. They suggested I go later that night to an airport location to add them in person. The staff couldn't explain why this policy is in place. "I only do that I'm told". They also have a $75 cleaning for any vehicle that was driven in snow that they showed me after driving back from Tahoe. I also noticed that snow chains were prohibited.

    Manager JOEL (or john) is such a deceptive and arrogant rude avis employee who tainted the brand! Other onsite employee Austine promised free upgrade as inconveniences of cancelling my reserv. prematurely (and she made a new reservation to make it up) but manager Joel outright denied everything and even the employee's existence (direct lies). He does not have any sympathy or helpful attitude towards customer's inconvenience and talks like he is the boss to customer and defines or defies the company policy. He kept claiming he is the RULES at HIS store. I had to use Avis because of employer insurance and they treat business rental like nothing. Please choose other rental companies or location. This Avis manager Joel does not deserve any business!

    Footprint on passenger chair. Freaking dirty!

    I agree with other customers on Yelp - Budget is a horrible car rental company. The company has very poor customer service and dirty car rentals. Earlier this month, my husband and I booked and paid for a rental car on the Budget website. Today, we went to pick up the rental car. Everything was going great until the representative said our credit score couldn't bypass the system. Basically, he couldn't give us the rental car that WE WERE ALREADY CHARGED FOR. My husband and I were very upset and showed the representative that our credit score was above 600 through Credit Karma. The representative was apathetic and handed my husband a card to call Equifax. Also, he gave us a number to call Budget to get our refund, LOOKING LIKE HE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT OUR SITUATION. Luckily, our good friend, who was traveling with us, came to Budget to book the rental car my husband and I originally reserved (we wanted to book with Enterprise or Hertz at this point, but we were on a time crunch). The representative was kind enough to upgrade us to a premium DIRTY rental car. An hour riding in the rental car, I found a nasty Cheeto underneath the passenger seat. Also, we noticed a nasty brown stain on the passenger side's sun visor. Oh, and did I mention the foot print on the passenger seat? It's very evident they don't clean their cars. My final thoughts: Budget is a crooked company. Their dirty rental cars are a clear reflection of their employees attitudes and poor leadership. I'm definitely booking with either Hertz or Enterprise next time renting a car.

I never been dealt with such disrespect in any service facility, can she get fired? Like asap? I understand why this place has very low ratings, no one should go here

I called and called and called... I called so many times I lost count and each time NO ONE answered the phone. I thought maybe they were closed but it wasn't 5pm yet. I was desperate and needed a rental so I could move my daughter into her dorm for school. I decided to drive to the location and guess what? People were there and the phones were ringing but NO ONE picked up. WTF kind of customer service is that?! I spoke to the lady that walked out from the back and asked if they had a mid size sedan in stock but she told me all they had were SUVs and electric vehicles. I asked if she was able to check a different Hertz location's inventory and she told me "no" so I left irritated that I had wasted my time going there when they could've simply answered the damn phone :\ DO NOT come to this location. They don't seem to care.

That ended up being a bad experience, which led me back to an online search where I found this Enterprise 1 mile away. I called the national number and was quickly connected to a human. That representative was able to confirm the vehicles were available at this location and I was able to make a reservation with ease. Upon arriving, I was promptly greeted and told that the rep would be right with me as they were helping another customer. As soon as it was my turn, the rep thanked me for being patient and quickly and professionally helped me out. The following day I returned the vehicle and was helped out by a different rep. As I was waiting for my turn, this rep was on the phone reassuring a potential customer who apparently had an injury I was otherwise not feeling very well and had concerns about their reservation. The rep was patient, empathetic, and reassured the customer several times. As soon as it was my turn, the rep took care of me promptly and professionally, with a friendly smile and good personality. A shout out to the entire team and management as this reflects a healthy culture. They shout out to Immanuel who checked in when I got there and Salvador who helped me when I returned the vehicle. I will definitely be coming back here next time I need a rental vehicle.

    Here is my experience when I stopped by to pick up rental car…read more The lady at the counter did her thing at her computer. She printed out the rental agreement and handed it to me. Then asked us to follow her to the car. She handed us the keys when she found the car, and then left us, going back inside the Hertz store. There was no "walk around" the car to check for dings or scratches. This was really strange because every other car I've rented, from several other car rental companies, always did this visual inspection. The first thing I noticed was that the car was dirty. The painted part and also the windows. They made no effort to give it a simple spray of water to remove any superficial dirt. Opened the back door to the cargo area and the first thing I noticed was that the back of the seats were dirty (the seats were a light white/beige). The second thing I noticed was that there was no shade for the cargo area, to hide what is put in that area. Most SUVs have this? The next thing I noticed was the Car Registration in the glove box. It showed the registration had expired the month before. Went back inside to ask about it. She said the car registration was updated in the system (computer), but they haven't sent the registration paperwork. She also pointed out that the license plate had a "permanent" registration sticker on it. Fast forward several months when I decided to rent another car through this Hertz location. The process was a little improved since the last time. Overall, Hertz offers a decent price for their car rentals and I will probably rent from them again in the future should the need arise. .

    Every time I have tried to book with them there is some kind of problem. If you don't have cars…read moreavailable you need to make sure people can't book cars, this is a scam.

To be honest, I was running late due to coming out of town and came just as the location was closing. Brandon was there and was just SO wonderful! He stayed late to help me, and when I thanked him, he said that he was happy to stay for as long as anyone needed him, and that really stood out to me. He also could have done the easy thing and provided me with an older mini-van that was closer to the office, but rather, he took it upon himself to run around and find a newer model for us... even though he should have closed up shop by then! He was very kind, answered all of my questions with a great deal of patience, and I never felt rushed or like a burden. It can be hard with such a busy location to maintain that kind of compassion and thoughtfulness--he is such a gem and really takes pride in his work. When I returned my car, I checked in with the staff, and they were also so incredibly kind and caring. Even in our brief minute or two of interaction, I could tell that they were really trying to find ways to keep their customers happy. Overall, I had a really great experience -- great selection of cars, and great customer service!

    Goodness! I had no idea it would take me an HOUR to get a rental car, the Tuesday after Memorial…read moreDay around 11am! Ughhhh! The service was fine, very nice, helpful agents, but only 2 behind the counter and I was at least 10th in line! My Fiancé ended up paying $20 for parking his car in the stupid parking garage, as he waited for me to get my rental car! Ughhhh! At least I got the rental car, SUV- Tucson, Hyundai I wanted. I know there's never a grantee on car rentals, but one can HOPE and cross your fingers and toes! Hee I'm only giving 3 out of 5 because it took me 45 mins to GET the paperwork on my car, which I couldn't register ahead of time, since I got my rental through Priceline.com and then once upstairs, it took me another 15 mins to actually GET my rental..... I guess they ran out of clean cars... mine was soaking wet, but I know she was CLEAN! Hee. Oh- I ended up extending my rental and the original price was lower that week versus the continued week.... So that was a bit more on my wallet.....

    While I had been considering the possibility of purchasing a new vehicle, I had no intention of…read moremaking an immediate decision. However, the moment I saw and sat inside the Lexus NX 350h, I was completely captivated. What ultimately led me to complete the purchase within a single day was the exceptional experience and outstanding support provided by my salesperson, Alvin Nonales. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to customer service transformed a casual consideration into a confident and memorable decision. Alvin Nonales exemplifies the art of salesmanship. His ability to build relationships, inspire confidence, and create value reminds me of the legendary Zig Ziglar. Ten billion stars to Alvin Nonales!

    I recently shopped for a Lexus RX 350h and visited Stevens Creek Lexus. My experience there was…read moredisappointing enough that I decided to purchase my vehicle elsewhere. The sales associate I worked with, Herman, clearly knows how to sell cars and seems to have an impressive sales record. During our conversation, he repeatedly talked about how many vehicles he sells, including sales to customers out of state, and emphasized that his RX 350h sales were always at full asking price. He also stressed that the RX 350h was the hottest vehicle on the lot, that inventory sold quickly, and that there was essentially no room for negotiation. While I respect confidence and understand that high-demand vehicles often have limited negotiating room, I felt the conversation came across as more boastful than customer-focused. I left wishing there had been more humility and a greater effort to build a relationship. Personally, I didn't feel valued as a customer. I also became frustrated because I never received a callback from management after trying to continue the conversation. That reinforced the feeling that I was simply another potential sale rather than someone whose business was genuinely appreciated. I ultimately purchased my Lexus from Lexus Monterey Peninsula, where Isaiah and the management team, including Robbie, treated me with respect from the moment I walked in. They took the time to answer my questions, never made me feel rushed, and made the buying experience feel personal. Most importantly, they were willing to negotiate in good faith to earn my business. We were able to reach a deal that worked for both of us, allowing them to make a sale while leaving me feeling valued and genuinely happy with my purchase. That is what I believe great customer service looks like. If you're comfortable paying asking price without much discussion, Stevens Creek Lexus may be a good fit for you. If you're looking for a dealership that makes you feel welcome, takes the time to earn your trust, and works with you to reach a fair deal, I highly recommend Lexus Monterey Peninsula. As a veteran and an educator who regularly shares recommendations with fellow veterans at my local VFW, as well as friends, family, and colleagues, customer service matters to me. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Stevens Creek Lexus.
