    Nichole A.

    This company is renting out vehicles that are unsafe to drive. BEWARE!!! I want to give zero stars. I rented a AWD vehicle with Avis on 2/5/2021 for a road trip with my young daughters to drive up to Washington. The guy helping me pulled the car around and it was a dirty 2019 Dodge Journey with a lot of dings and scratches and chips in the windshield. We did a walk around and I was pointing out the damage to the vehicle so I wouldn't be charged. It took a while and he was rushing me. The car was dirty inside and reeked of Marijuana so bad. I was in a hurry and had a screaming toddler with me, so I took the vehicle and decided to overlook the dirt. So we left on our trip and stopped over night in Oregon. The next morning the low tire pressure warning light was on for the drivers side front tire. So I filled up the tire and we kept driving. We had to fill the tire several more times to get to our destination. Also halfway through the trip the key fob stopped working. When we got to our destination my friend advised me that the tires on the vehicle were bald. I wasn't aware if that. Which is dangerous and we were lucky one of our tires didn't blow. I assumed a car rental company would rent vehicles that are safe for the road. I called Avis customer service and asked if I could trade the vehicle in and get a new safer car. The representative told me that they would charge me $500 to do so. So, I thought I was stuck with this car. I called again a couple days later hoping to get a different answer and the rep told me I could take the vehicle to trade it in at a nearby Avis for no charge. He said he didn't know why the representative told me $500. But I had to call around and find a car. I called 5 other local Avis branches and none of them had cars available. So I called back and spoke to 2 other reps. One told me I was screwed the other transferred me to roadside assistance. They said the would send someone to tow the vehicle I had and get me an Uber to take me to the airport to get another car. But luckily one of the local places called me back and said they had a vehicle. But I had to fill the tire up in the vehicle I had and drive in the snow (on bald tires) to drop off the old vehicle and pick the new one up. So I cancelled roadside assistance and drove to get the new vehicle locally. (BTW, just got a letter saying I am being charged $220 for roadside assistance that was never rendered, but that's another story) So I get the new vehicle (a new Toyota 4runner) drive back to California, drop the vehicle off and explained to the manager Starr what happened and how this has been a nightmare and she shrugged her shoulders and said "You should have called customer service." Ummmm, I did. Several times. Was she listening to anything I was saying?? Then she said "you should've called roadside assistance" Well, none of the reps gave me that option until I was 5 days into the rental. I also tried to call her branch, but was put on hold and nobody ever returned. But to make it right, she offered me a whopping $25 off for my week long epic troubles. This company is terrible. They are putting people in danger. I would steer clear at ALL COSTS.

    We rented a Tesla Model 3 from this Budget location and later learned there was a serious problem…read morewith the right-rear tire. When we returned the vehicle, the return agent looked at the right rear tire and told us that, given its condition, the car should never have been rented to anyone due to safety concerns. "R/B TIRE" was written on the car's window upon return, apparently flagging that same tire. Renting out a vehicle with an unsafe tire puts customers at risk -- especially customers with young children. Budget should investigate how this happened, explain what its safety inspection found, and provide an appropriate refund.

I called and spoke to Xena and she insisted she could do nothing to help me. My scheduled pick up time was before 5 p.m. and I arrived at 5:04. She refused to leave the keys or even wait a few minutes after I explained that was my ride home to Chico. When I got there she was helping somebody else, and still refused even though she was inside the building. She literally left me on the steps with no way home because she refused to help. Apparently the "manager was off". Xena I hope you or the fuck ass kids you probably have never find your/themselves in a situation where you need compassion or empathy, you miserable bitch.

    Only five stars, because I can't give more. I've always wanted to rent a Tesla. I made a…read morereservation on Priceline, but the webpage said, "Tesla, or similar." I didn't want an "or similar", so I came into this location, which is right around the corner from where I live. They've treated me very well in the past. I met Rehan, and explained the situation. He said he wasn't sure if he was going to be able to get me a Tesla, because it was a long weekend. (MLK day...) However, he did say, he would make some phone calls, and see what he could do for me. I called him back in a few hours. Not only was he able to get me a Tesla model 3, he made arrangements that I could pick it up here instead of going out to the airport, and for the exact same price that I was quoted online. I came out on Saturday to pick up the vehicle, I did the paperwork, he wasn't there that day, but the people who were there were very friendly, very helpful, they explained the vehicle to me, and I'm off on a fantastic trip. I love this car! As I mentioned before, I've always been treated great at this location, but this time Rehan and his crew went way above and beyond. I really appreciate it, and will continue to do business here. Thank you!

When we called the location later to get the breakdown David told us he could not check that for us and we would need to call a the location that we picked up the vehicle from. He then hung up on my wife when she tried to explain to him that we had just dropped off the vehicle and were given a final price. I called another location that was still open and they confirmed the entire breakdown of our bill. My wife then called the Broadway location once again to inform David that it could be done and he once again hung up on my wife. I will be speaking with his manager. It was very upsetting for her to be treated that way. She wasn't being rude towards him in the slightest. Simply trying to get information from him. The attendant that initially helped us and gave us our final bill estimate was very professional and courteous. When I called back he was willing to help us without question. His name was Rudy. Thank you Rudy for being a good asset to your company.
