How should I start this. Avoid this place at all costs. The reviews don't lie and now I can see why. This company will continue to lose customers because of the lack in quality of service they provide along with a bad attitude of their customer service personel on site. The girl at their box office on the 5th floor has the worst attitude, straight from the get go you can just tell she didn't want to be there. Plain rude, or if she was just having a bad day, at least put a fake face on and take your feelings aside because this is what you applied for, customer service. That is your only job and if you can't do that, then it's not for you. It makes the company look bad as a whole.
1. Gave my Drivers License as requested. Rejected, there was a small crack on my ID. She said sorry, can't take this. It's just funny because I've been to 3 different states in the past week, and no airport has given me trouble for my ID. I just went through TSA and flew into San Antonio. It seems her own personal security judgement is more extensive than airports themselves. Crazy thing is, I've been renting with the same exact drivers license the whole week. I travel often for work, my ID's are bound to have some wear and tear. She's the only one that's rejected it. She is either on top of her game, or she just don't want to do her job.
2. My assistant gave her the CC she booked with, AMEX Platinum. REJECTED. My assistant gives her her ID to show it matches and it's her. REJECTED. She said it needed to be in my name. Gave her my CC instead so it matches, AMEX Platinum same company but just in my name. Annoyed smirk on her face, not sure why. REJECTED.
3. Since my ID "can not be accepted" we tried to use my assistants driver license and her CC. REJECTED. We were providing everything she was asking for, but she was having some sort of power trip issue for no reason lol I've reserved cars throughout the country, I travel often for work, and have never come across something like this. It is wild to me. People can travel from thousands of miles away and get this type of treatment at arrival. Way to go FOX.
4. Then eventually she goes on to say sorry but we don't have your reserved car available but feel free to go to another rental with the same bad attitude. All that just to say the car isn't even available lolll She then says we can't cancel your appointment, but feel free to contact where you booked from and cancel. In my head, no problem, good riddance. Waste of time.
5. Her main job, was to turn you away, bad attitude power trip and all. No alternatives, no solutions, no effort whatsoever in trying to help and getting an appointment in. Way to go. She probably thought we wouldn't be able to book a car or something, not sure why.
Booked with Sixt, got the keys and into the car in less than 5 minutes. We came out with great customer service, and 2 complimentary water bottles. Same information, ID's, CC's to book. Smooth sailing. Now that's what I'm talking about. Walked by the FOX booth to get our car from SIXT right next to them, line was stuck lol Probably the same lady giving the next person in line the same bad service and attitude.
I'd say, FOX car rental reviews are bad because these are the people manning their customer service booths. Eventually they will just continue losing customers and their reputation as a company will continue to diminish. I'm simply one of the many who received this type of service, and that's why people like me end up gravitating to companies where their workers actually care about helping the customers. If you want to be treated like a human, go anywhere else but here. read more
