    Worst customer service i ever experienced. Get someone to answer phones and stop listing phone numbers if no one answering them.

    Buyer beware. Watch out for the toll scam. Paid all tolls in cash and just got a charge on my credit card.

    Do yourself a favor and don't go to this location. Very dishonest employees. Plus the quality of the car was very poor

    My flight landed at Albany Airport around 11:30p, and I had the keys before midnight. Beautiful…read moreNissan Murano. And I must give a shout out to Avis Ops Manager, David O'Brien. The car was only 5/8s full when I rented it. I told the attendant who advised me to take a pic of the gauge which I did. I returned the car at 5/8s full (as directed). But was charged and extra $25. I mentioned this in my initial customer review. David O. contacted me almost immediately to say, quote "It appears the system did an auto read on your vehicle and charged you for the gas. I will send in for a refund for you for the amount of $23.25 plus tax." Which he did. Now THAT's service! Thank you David. Thank you Avis. I will for sure rent from you guys again. In fact I will be there late October. Looking forward to it. Thx again. -cj

    This rental car experience was completely avoidable by the company. Our reservation for a 12-person…read morepassenger van was booked months in advance, as we and many family members were flying in for our daughter's wedding. As we waited by baggage for the family members to arrive who were sharing driving duties with us, I was watching how slow it was taking them to process customer after customer. The rest of the desks (Hertz, Enterprise, Dollar) were all empty and speedy. So I preemptively got in line early (.5 hr before scheduled pick up), trying to plan to reach the front of the line as our extra drivers arrived...to save time (which, even as I'm typing this is hilarious, because that was never...never never ever going to happen). I did plan it perfectly, they arrived as I reached second in line, hugs and hellos, and as we stepped up to the desk, we were informed there are no passenger vans available. And already a half hour in, we stood at that desk for another hour and forty minutes as the staff scrambled, ran out to the garage and back, waiting for management to respond to them to try and make something happen. We learned that there was really no inventory of cars for the reservations made. We watched the line behind us grow from 10 to about 50 people in that time. Shout out to Zeke, Whitney, Aman & Elizabeth. They were all left to deal with angry and frustrated travelers with no cars to give them, no authority to make any decisions, no support, and short staffed inside and outside. Whoever "Bob" is left them all high and dry and was not reachable or responsive, but apparently the only person who could authorize anything. In our case, it finally ended up resulting in two 7-passenger cars after almost 2 hours. When we received them, they were dirty, with gum stuck to the cargo space carpet. I have photos of a super long line of people, but that has already been posted by others. They completely overbook with no regard for arriving travelers. My daughter lives here so we will most likely be renting again. But I will never ever rent from this Avis/Budget location. In fact, I will likely stay away from Avis/Budget anywhere because of the experience at this location. Zeke, Whitney, & Elizabeth need a raise and a vacation.

    I booked a car with Dollar when I purchased my United ticket though the United website…read more I was puzzled when, on arriving in Albany, there was no kiosk for Dollar along with the five or so other car rentals. It was only then that I found out that Dollar is not located at the airport but is ten minutes away and requires a shuttle. I called the shuttle at waited ten minutes for it to show up. The rest of the process was smooth. I was concerned about returning the car to the location and catching the shuttle at 6 am for my morning flight, but that went smoothly too. There are two issues that resulted in my low rating. The first is the off airport location. This is not made clear at the time of the reservation. I would expect both Dollar and United to have been transparent on that point. Second, the car rental location is understaffed. There is often only one person checking in customers and driving the shuttle. You can see how this could be an issue. However, the service was friendly and I had no issue with the car.

    Never rent a car from Dollar car rental, they don't honor their contractual agrreement. They…read moreoffered prepay gas refill based on usage, i returned my car full of gas and was charged almost $80 over the agreed on rate. I have attempted twice to reach out to Dollar car rental to bring resolution to this matter but never received a follow up email or call. They don't seem to care about customer service since they got your money, What a scam ! I booked my car rental through Southwest airlines, they should stop promoting their car rental with Dollar as its's a bad reflection on Southwest airlines too.
