    Diagram paper to note any damage you find before you pick up the car and also gas gauge.

    Adj: Remarkable So it's remarkable bc it was a surprisingly smooth experience that we had compared to others' reviews. It's not remarkable as in extraordinary. We got to the counter after arriving and then taking the sky train to the rental center. The line was short at the time (it built up after we got there) and we were getting our car pretty quickly. I believe I reserved a compact SUV and we got a VW Taos and it drove well enough even though going up some hills it struggled a little bit, but it had good fuel economy. Overall, the car was in good shape, drove well, and the return back to Fox was smooth and the agents we interacted with were all friendly.

    Terrible experience from beginning to end waited an hour in line when I already paid and booked my car online. Then waited over an hour to then get the car. I would never use them again. Staff are useless and we're unable to answer any questions.

    their cars are literally held together by duct tape.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Their cars are death traps held together by duct tape Do not rent from Fox at Phoenix Sky Harbor. They are handing over completely unsafe, improperly maintained vehicles and hiding critical defects rather than fixing them. First car: Reeked overwhelmingly of cat pee, forcing an immediate swap. Second car: Mid-trip, tape started peeling off under the car revealing that their team had duct-taped a broken undercarriage part to the bottom of the car. When confronted with photo evidence, Europcar / Fox customer service refused a refund because we didn't "report it at pickup"--as if customers should crawl under vehicles to inspect for hidden duct tape. Renting out cars held together by tape is grossly negligent and extremely hazardous. Do not rent from them.

    A lot of improvement needed. The waiting is ridiculous. You sign all this paperwork and thrn go down to pick up car and you wait again for them to bring you a car. LAST TIME I will ever use this rental company. Will update once we finally get car rented to see quality, as well as return process. UPDATE: Finally got rental. Was filthy and not well maintained. They should wash cars for next customers.

    I am highly disappointed with Fox Rental in Phoenix. The person checking us in was deceptive regarding pre-paid gas and it cost us about $50-75 more than it should have. The car was not well cleaned when we picked it up. There was also garbage left inside under the driver's seat. While driving the car the oil change maintenance light kept turning on. We had a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo for our rental.

    Fox stands apart from typical rental companies, but not necessarily in a good way. First, be aware that they operate in a sort of grey area that we didn't appreciate. For instance, they don't require you to show proof of car insurance at the time of rental. As they explained, if anything were to happen, the damage would be charged to your credit account, and you'd be left to deal with your insurance provider on your own. Additionally, if you're renting with your spouse, you'll incur an extra fee. The paperwork process was far from straightforward. I had to walk over twice to ask legal questions about the terms they included in the agreement. It's essential to read through everything carefully, line by line. Another major concern is the condition of their vehicles. The cars come with numerous chips and scratches, so it's crucial to document their condition thoroughly with videos and pictures before you leave the lot. Our first car was in particularly poor shape; I even suspected it had been in an accident, despite their claims otherwise. Beyond the physical damage, the car smelled overwhelmingly bad, a mix of weed and cigarette smoke. It was as if they had tried to mask the odor, but since none of us were smokers, the smell made us all start coughing. Mari was kind enough to offer us a second car, but even that vehicle had its issues, including dents, scratches, and notably worn tires. Make sure to check every part of the car, especially the tires, and document any problems. Despite these issues, we decided to go ahead with the rental, influenced by the great reviews on Yelp. In my reviews for other rental companies, I've been very specific about such details, and I recommend you do the same here. The customer service at Fox was excellent, with genuinely friendly staff who were just doing their jobs. However, it's wise to read through Yelp reviews and take notes of other customers' experiences so you can be better prepared or avoid major problems altogether. One additional point: the cars weren't very clean. On our vehicle, for example, there was a large hole in the seat filled with cigarette ash, a detail we pointed out to Mari. Always inspect every nook and cranny of the car, take plenty of pictures and videos, and if you're traveling with others, have them do the same. Sometimes, another set of eyes can capture details that you might otherwise miss.

    45 minute wait for the one desk rep to process - then another 20 minutes at the car pickup because they didn't have our car ready! Nope

It was the best decision we could have made. ​I literally booked a reservation with Alamo on my phone five minutes before walking up to their desk at Phoenix Sky Harbor. Not only did they seamlessly honor the ultra-last-minute booking, but the agent, Ahmed and his manager (didn't get his name),, went completely above and beyond. Recognizing our tight schedule and frustration with the previous company, Ahmed took incredible care of us and gave us a fantastic vehicle to get us on the road immediately. ​Ahmed's outstanding hospitality and quick thinking turned a stressful travel day completely around. The efficiency, cleanliness, and elite customer service at this location are second to none. I will never, ever rent from another company again. Alamo has earned a customer for life! ​Pros: Lightning-fast service, incredible staff (ask for Ahmed!), and total reliability.

Unfortunately, I could not pick up the car ASAP since being a gold member and had to see customer service, but thank god there was no wait. They told us to pick a car from the presidential circle. We ended up with a KIA Niro which was not too bad. It is a cute SUV white. Our car needed an oil change however, but we did get a full tank of gas. The car had scratches too so worried about the AI scanner for the car. They do have the UYE AI scan, we had terrible luck in North Carolina. So my wife took a 360 video of the car before and after. When we returned the car, they did the scan but no text messages saying about damage. Then, the following day they send you a damage report which there was none. So I am happy they have someone look at the AI scan's now, I believe. Last time I got a text message last minute saying I did damage, but now there is no worries. I guess Hertz learned there lesson. I would rent from them again. However, I would not be surprised if there were bad experience due to the scanner.

    It shouldn't take almost as long to pick up my pre-reserved rental car as it did to fly into Sky…read moreHarbor from two states away, but it did (90 minutes). There was no long line (in fact, I was attended to immediately), it was just a HORRIBLE comedy of issues, one after another. This was my first experience with Budget, and will absolutely be my last. Here's a summary: I reserved an electric vehicle ("Ford Mach E or similar") through Budget using Costco's travel website. The rental fee for the entire 6 days was roughly $377, a phenomenal deal. I told the Budget employee that I had a reservation through Costco, and he couldn't find it. He asked for my confirmation number from my Costco confirmation e-mail, and found my reservation that way. He rung me up (took roughly 10 minutes), and said the total cost would be right around $1,700. I showed him the confirmation e-mail showing the $377 total, and he said that the "prices must have reset since it's now after midnight". He was unable to adjust the price because he needed a "manager number", and there were no managers on duty. He sought assistance from a coworker, who was able to help him (another 15 minutes), and got the price adjusted, but said that the car was no longer available. He looked for cars, and found a Genesis GV60, and said he could give it to me for another $10 / day, and I excitedly agreed. He went through the same ten-minute ordeal, and again, reported that the car was no longer available. This cycle went on over and over for over an hour, and I added that at that point I don't care if it's an electric car, I just want something to drive. He said he'd put me in a Mercedes, and would give it to me for the same $10 / day premium over my original price. He wrote parking space #140 on my pickup ticket, told me the keys were in the car, and to just go to spot 140 to pick it up, and show the QR code he'd texted me on my way out. So, off I went to the garage, found space 140, and in it was a Genesis, not the Mercedes on my contract. So, I went for help from the in-garage attendant, and he repeated the same "here's a car", "I'll update the contract", "Oops, that car's not available" a few more times. He eventually was able to transfer a "car over from the Avis side", and I went to the parking space to get it and it was a Ford Mach E, just like I'd reserved. Budget corporate responded to my "how did we so" survey, and refunded one day's rental fee, and apologized, thus the extra star.

    No lines had to wait about 20 minutes for my rental. 3 employees behind desk helping no oneread more

So it was 10:30 at night and we were stranded with no car at the airport after traveling all day and prepaying for our car! So I went to Avis and enterprise and inquired about a car and they wanted $375-450!! for a regular car. I was appalled. Then my wife texted me and let me know that the guy from Payless car rentals saw the kids crying and came over and asked if he could help so I went over and talked to Payless car rental and they rented me an SUV for $211 for the same period of time the other ones wanted so much more for! I cannot tell you how relieved we were to find Payless car rental. I didn't think that Payless car rental would necessarily mean that we paid less, but it certainly did! The car was great as well. We will be renting from Payless anytime we come down there again.

    The check-in process was a nightmare. Each rental car company at the Phoenix Airport had a long…read moreline of at least 10+ guests. Only Payless had a short line of 3 people; I was the 4th. We arrived in line at 10:45am and did not get into our vehicle until 1:38pm. There was another party ahead of us whom had been waiting until 10am and still did not get their vehicle when we departed. Only 1 employee was working the desk (her initials are LL) and she was excessively slow. She carried on conversations with guests for an average of 45-minutes each. While I can appreciate the sentiment and her being friendly, she needs to read the room and realize the situation that she is holding up the line. Within the first hour, every other rental car company had resolved there line and had no guests waiting... except PAYLESS! Our line was now 15+ people long and was not making ANY progress. Another guest whom had lost his patience asked her why it was taking so long and she flipped her lid on him and called a manager to keep him at bay, even though his complaint and his reasoning was entirely valid. He did not raise his voice or do anything rude; it was her who overreacted. Mercifully, another employee arrived at 1pm. He cleared about 5 customers almost immediately before LL had moved on from 1 customer. But even then, he said there was a delay in his queue because vehicles were not being washed fast enough. This was a complete disaster to have wasted almost 3 full hours waiting to pick-up a rental car which was pre-paid, pre-organized and apparently in-stock and on the lot. I have had issues in the past with rental car companies when picking up from isolated locations, which has led me to always book at an airport because their stock is typically higher and efficiency is better. This was NOT the case for Payless. There were at least 10 parties of guests whom had to wait 2+ hours to pickup a pre-paid vehicle! Now that I am writing this review, I can see that the 2/5 stars rating and this type of customer service (or lack thereof) is common practice for this company. AVOID AVOID AVOID
