He had lots of trouble with the computer system and wrote me out a handwritten receipt. But then, alas, the car had signs on that the tire pressure was low but I couldn't figure out which tire, and then it kept flashing maintenance required. I expressed this to the employee, but he said, "I don't know how to work these new cars." ‍ Thank God, made it to my location safely and no tires were busted or out of air, since I wasted more of my time and money to fill in air and make sure each tire was filled to the rightful amount. Basically, budget & Avis aren't the best rental companies, and if you have a choice, go elsewhere. My review is strictly reflected on timely service, and the vehicle.

This is a smaller airport, so you have to get your keys from a counter, not from the Emerald Isle. The young girl working here was very helpful and friendly, I told her I needed a larger SUV since I needed to carry lots of coworkers and she gave me an Expedition. The vehicle was nicely taken care of and in great working order. Checking back in was quick and normal as the other locations, as all I needed to do was leave it in line with all other vehicles being returned and walk away! Another nice National Car Rental experience!

First, back in July, I rented a Volkswagen Jetta that, when left to bake in the sun, produced a…read moreloud odor of marijuana; the customer wasn't too thrilled and wanted an exchange because the vehicle gave a headache due to the overwhelming odor. Plus, the customer heard a loud noise while we drove, which we discovered was caused by a piece of plastic under the engine dragging along the highway. Since I'm Deaf, I had no idea that it had been like that since leaving Lexington. He said it is called an engine shield that protects the engine compartment from road objects that could cause damage. Whoever serviced it didn't reinstall the screws to hold it securely. I ended up driving from Toledo to Detroit Airport to exchange it for a Hyundai Palisade. They discovered joints under the front passenger seat of the Jetta. What irritated me is that Marijuana is still illegal in several states, so I'm lucky that i wasn't pulled over for another reason. Upon my return with the Hyundai, the staff member for National who was checking in cars apologized when i mentioned it to him as to why i was returning a Hyundai when i rented a Volkswagen. Next, National at Bluegrass Airport is still my preferred car rental location because most vehicles are clean and have no noticeable damage. Still, it is vastly different from National Rental at other airports like Detroit, San Diego, and others. For example, at the above-mentioned airports, if you're with the Emerald Club and an executive membership, you go to the assemblage of vehicles under the Emerald Aisle on the left and the Executive area on the right, and you can select what you want to drive. However, National Car Rental at Bluegrass Airport has a limited selection, and you can't walk to the designated Emerald Aisle to select anything; you must go to the front desk because the rental area where the vehicles are held is not secure, meaning there is no gated area like at the other airports mentioned above. For my level, which is Executive level, it's supposed to be, "Choose any car (Full-size and above) in the Executive Area and only pay the reserved Midsize rate," yet again, there is no designated area. You have to go to the desk first; oftentimes, I'm stuck with a mid-size vehicle because everything is out at this location. I've even been told, "But we have you listed for a mid-size," "We only have a Honda Civic or a Kia K4," or "I guess we can give you an upgrade." Well, you're not giving me anything, but a weird guilt trip. Kia is perhaps the best person to deal with at the location. With her, I've had everything from a Genesis GV80, GV70, Mercedes CL, BMW X3, Jeep Wagoneer, Jeep Renegade, and recently a Honda Ridgeline, yet I had one staff member who wanted to charge me an extra $50 for a Mitsubishi Outlander. I've indeed rented all sizes of vehicles and often, but it would be nice to know that if i needed a full-size or large vehicle, it would be available to me; besides, what's the point of being an executive or executive elite if i can't use that option? Most recently, I used the app to rent at Bluegrass Airport and selected a full-size vehicle; however, they only had the compact K4 and Civic, so I canceled and drove my personal vehicle. Work can reimburse me for mileage.

We called the one 800 Hertz number To reserve a car. When we arrive to the location to pick up the car he said they had none that were available to rent. A gentleman walked in right behind us to return a car early so they told us that we were able to get one but we had to wait because it needed an oil change. They were going to call me to let me know when it was done. After a few hours I heard nothing back from them and decided to call myself. The gentleman on the phone was the store manager again and he was so rude and told us that he thinks that we have to cancel. And told me that I can get an Uber. There were a lot of other rude comments that he made to us also. He is not a good representative of this company.

While they still didn't have the right size car, they helped us quickly and we got a car. The 5 of us (3 adults, 2 teenagers) crammed into a sedan for the first half of the drive. Last night we stayed in Lexington. This morning we went to the enterprise at the airport in Lexington and it wasn't open, though all the other rental companies were. We finally found this enterprise on Winchester, which was open. They were able to get us a minivan, which was perfect! Cade was a life saver, along with the others (I forgot your names already) who cleaned the van. We were happy to take it dirty but they did the best they could and we are all now ready to drive the rest of the way to MI in comfort. Cade was so nice and helpful and got everything squared away very quickly. Honestly, everyone we saw and spoke with was great and all 5 of us are very happy (including the teenagers!). Thank you Cade and all the others! You are a lifesaver and if any of us are ever needing another rental in Lexington or know someone who is, you will definitely be our recommendation! The whole family thanks you, especially this aunt who was stuck in the backseat with the teenagers!

So i called at 9 and was told they should be able to get me by 10. When I called at 10 they said they had no idea when or even if I would get a car today. Very Poor service and the whole process demonstrates a lack of respect for customers needs, plans and time. This is not a one time event. I could not get a car in 2022 over thanksgiving weekend as there was more need than cars. It appears reservations are meaningless. You are reserving the possibility of a vehicle. Don't count on them.
