For my car, I had been given a selection of a Buick or a Ford Escape. I had selected the Ford Escape. The girl working the counter said it was the better selection as it had satellite radio also. Vehicle was clean and comfortable during my visit. The return was an absolute breeze as I had an attendant verify the regulars (gas, no major dings or scrapes) and that the SUV was in good working order. Then my final copy of the invoice was printed off quickly and I was wished a good flight. Overall the rental car experience from National Halifax has improved and definitely these people have their act together.

As you entered the rental hall, AVIS is located right to the left side of the door way. Both Preferred and regular rentals are handled at the same counter. The agent was friendly and had me on my way within a few minutes as I am a Preferred member. There is a 24-hour gas station at the entrance to the airport. I returned the rental before it was opened for the day. I dropped off the keys at their night box and was on my way to the gate. I would rent from AVIS on my next trip to Halifax CA.

Unfortunately we did not have the greatest experience with AVIS on our most recent trip from the…read moreairport in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We ordered a "mystery car" $200/day as that was our only option. The car they gave us was a KIA mid size and was in pretty bad shape.. and our CRA forgot to add our aeroplan # to our reservation when we checked in at the counter. Upon returning the car, I noticed a week later that I had not received any aeroplan points yet to my account. I called AVIS at Halifax Airport and spoke with a lady who claimed to be a manager "Kelsey" (under Joe Ferraro ) and she stated there was nothing she could do as the reservation was now closed. KELSEY came across very arrogant. She didn't offer any assistance, and claimed there was nothing more she could do. She told us to call Aeroplan. We called Aeroplan and after an hour we got hold of an agent who told us that AVIS was responsible for adding our points. A supervisor then came on the call who assisted us in a 3 way call with Avis and spoke to customer service who gladly added our points. (the entire process took appx 3 hours of my time from being put on hold, waiting times, etc....). The entire situation could have been avoided if the Halifax manager KELSEY (under Joe Ferraro) knew what she was doing. She claimed that there was nothing more she could do. Such arrogance! All she had to do was open a 3 way call with AVIS customer support (like the Aeroplan Supervisor did) and have our aeroplan number added to the reservation. It was as simple as that. She refused to budge and completely wasted 3 hours of our time. It is quite annoying when someone who is in a leadership role as a manager is so full of herself, yet clearly doesn't know the process. KELSEY (under Joe Ferraro) clearly needs a refresher in Customer Service!!! #KELSEY #AVIS #JOE.FERRARO #HALIFAX

This Budget Car Rental is inside the Halifax Stanfield International Airport and it was one of the…read morefew places that still had cars available in late August 2022, so we were very grateful. Mind you, we paid a pretty penny for the rental. Gone are the days when you could, without any reservations, walk into a car rental company and have your pick of cars. The Covid-19 Pandemic caused lots of car rental companies to decrease their fleet size as demand plummeted, then when business picked up again, there were supply chain issues, so not enough cars. We searched high and low for a car rental so we could drive from Halifax to the South Shore to scatter the ashes of a dearly departed. Budget came through for us, although not exactly at a Budget price. We paid about $435 (all in) for a Hyundai Kona for 2 days (47.5 hours to be exact). Online reservation was user-friendly, quick and easy. I appreciated the text and email confirmations and reminders. We had no problems when we arrived the day of the rental. Counter staff were courteous and efficient. We had to do our own inspection of the car. We noticed a huge chunk missing from the passenger front fender. We flagged down a staff member and he marked it on the paper, initialled it, kept a copy and gave us a copy. Then we were on our way. The car was clean. I know they wiped it down with disinfectant wipes because some of the surfaces, like the rearview mirror were pretty streaky, lol. I'm good with that though, glad they disinfected the car. Overall, a good experience with Budget Car Rental, even if the price was more premium than budget, lol.

They will threaten you with all sorts of repair costs if you don't buy their coverage. Claiming whatever coverage you may have will be insufficient. (Most credit cards provide free coverage). This is a high pressure sales tactic, and exploits people when they're exhausted from the trip. Don't fall for this. Don't rent from them. Choose a company that actually cares about their customers. Budget isn't it.

I had quite the shock when rented a minivan from these guys this past July. The pickup went…read moresmoothly, and the lady behind the counter was courteous and professional. The rental was for business, not pleasure. At the time we had this reserved, Dollar seemed to be the only company that had any minivans available. Understandably, it was summer and understandably the price might be higher than non-tourist seasons when demand is lower. But does it give a company to charge over $1000 for a 4-day rental. I'm sorry, but that is gouging and unfairly taking advantage of customers. A company that does this, doesn't get my business of any kind. No confidence in you Dollar!

They were having trouble with processing the customer's credit card because it was February 29th. This happened again when it was my turn. What is wrong with their system that they can not recognize February 29th! I needed to extend my rental another day and that was done easily but I did not look at the final reciept as I signed it. It was two in the morning and I still had a 40 min drive ahead of me. I just wanted to be done traveling!! My fault for not looking over the charges!!! When I did get the emailed reciept (had to turn in the keys afterhours so did not get a final reciept when I returned the car) I noticed that I was charged twice as much for one day than what was reserved for three days!! Also what was listed on the reciept did not make sense and I could crunch the numbers to make any sense out of it. It looked like they just pulled a base numbers out of the air to charge the taxes and fees to!! I called Dollar's 800 number to see if there was someone I could talk to who could explain why I was charged twice as much for one extra day and I got the run arround saying "they couldn't see anything that was charged other than what was on the reciept" "I will talk to someone to see if the charges could be revised". I know I was just put on hold while nothing was being done because I kept getting the same answers. I was not yelling, just rationally explaining and kept asking to talk to someone who could walk me through the numbers. They hung up on me!!!!

But if you read the terms and conditions (which nobody does) they are not responsible for anything, even if it happens after you leave the airport. Absolutely ridiculous!! We've been back twice and used AVIS without issue since. Shame on your Hertz. I hope you choke on your corporate greed. Disgusting!!

She told me I was reported to be in an accident In Dartmouth NS. I told her I had no idea what she was talking about. That call was followed by a call from the Halifax Regional Police. The officer told me I knew why he was calling which I replied I had no idea. I was reported to be in a accident on Highway 111 in Dartmouth NS near the MicMac Mall. At no time during my time in Nova Scotia was I in Dartmouth. The closest was when leaving the airport and headed to Truro. During the time the accident was to have happened I was 500 kilometers away in Ingonish NS fishing with my brother. I went to the local detachment of the RCMP who told me to take pictures of the vehicle a send to the HRPD which I did. It took 5 days to close the file after it was determined that someone reported a wrong tag number. In the meantime I was afraid the drive the vehicle in the event I was struck in from behind and I can only imagine what would happen then so the vehicle hardly moved during that time. Thrifty would not return phone calls to me, and refused reasonable compensation for the time it took to close the file. I decided to get out of Nova Scotia and get the vehicle back to Halifax cutting our time short. Four months later and still nothing from Thrifty despite an intervention from AMA. So, from a segment of the tourist train which seems to be battling bad press they make no effort to resolve this situation. I'm not looking for much just compensation for that time it took to close the file. It was a Thrifty vehicle despite Hertz being involved in this also. It was their vehicle with their tag so they have some responsibility to support their customer. Not calling me back when I needed their assistance was unacceptable.
