I rarely leave reviews unless the experience is bad enough that I genuinely wouldn't want to come…read moreback--and this was one of those cases. I rented from this branch for work purposes, so reliability mattered. Unfortunately, over multiple rentals I was given vehicles with serious issues: * Unsanitary conditions (including insect/roach presence) * Mechanical problems (warning lights and drivability concerns) * Safety concerns (severely worn/bald tires) I reported these issues at the time, and the location was aware of them. Despite that, no effective solution was provided and I was not given a viable replacement. I had to continue dealing with these problems, which cost me time, income, and significant stress. What followed was even worse. I spent over four months going back and forth with Avis Budget Group, dealing with delays, repeated follow-ups, and being ignored at times just to get basic responses. Only after significant escalation (including formal complaints) did they finally confirm that a refund was approved, stating it would be processed within 3-5 business days. It has now been over 10 business days, and: * No refund has been received * My bank confirms no transaction was ever initiated * Client Relations has stopped responding There is also a clear discrepancy in the refund amount: * Amount requested: $1,213.59 (baseline rental costs for defective vehicles) * Amount they referenced: $910.10, with no explanation provided for the difference Instead of resolving this, the company continues to delay and push the issue without providing a clear or final solution. After months of effort, follow-ups, and escalation, there is still no actual resolution. This reflects a serious lack of accountability, communication, and follow-through. I would update this review if the issue is properly resolved, but as of now, this has been an extremely time-consuming and frustrating experience.

The interior was dirty, the overall condition was unacceptable, and for the price we paid, this level of service is ridiculous. Renting a vehicle should come with basic cleanliness and professionalism, and this experience had neither. Extremely disappointed and would not recommend this location to anyone! very rude customer service.

Don't rent from National @ SRQ…read more..... I had rented an Audi SUV from National @ TPA yesterday 5/22 w/ a drop off in SRQ scheduled for Sunday 5/25. The team in TPA was great. Yesterday the lock mechanism on the back passenger door of the Audi SUV malfunctioned and wouldn't unlock or lock. We realized this when we opened the back diver side door and the door locked and would not unlock to close the door. I immediately called National customer service / roadside assistance line and offered to take the car early back to SRQ and switch out the car. The customer service rep was great. He documented the situation and said he sent details to SRQ and would have a car there for me. After I drove 30 mins to SRQ, I arrived and told the person checking in cars about the situation and he said this requires a manager to view the car. My daughter and I overheard the conversation with the field person and the Manager (Andrew Delaqua) on the walkie talkie. Andrew immediately told the field person it was damaged and a claim needed to be filed. When Delaqua came outside to look at the car, I explained the situation and he immediately said it was my fault and I caused the damage. I explained that the car has a defect with the lock and asked how I could responsible for a mechanical issue with the car. He began immediately arguing w/ me and said I signed the contract so it's my fault. Again...I explained I signed a contract for a car that worked. This Audi doesn't work. He continued to raise his voice and told me to take the car back to Tampa and it's now my problem. I told him that I wanted to leave the car at SRQ and he said if I did it would be my responsibility. He then began mocking me and threated me by saying....."do something about it". When I asked Delaqua to speak to another manager, he said "I am the manager, just like my name tag says". I am an EXECUTIVE member and have been for many many years. No one should treat a customer like this. Other customers and employees saw this. Thankfully a nice National employee outside let me know that there was another manager inside named Greg, despite Delaqua saying he was the only manager. We had to go inside and to find Greg and he helped us.......not by telling me to go back to Tampa but by replacing the car w/ car that has doors that shut. Shout out to Greg for the help. Greg did mention that Audi would have to look at the car and confirm that the default in the door lock wasn't caused by me, which I have 100% confidence they will confirm. As an exclusive National rental car Executive member, I hope my complaint is taken seriously. Delaqua would be fired if he worked for me.

We also needed to fit a double stroller in and when you use the 3rd row you basically get no trunk room. After 24 hours we took it back and went up the road to Budget Car Rental to get a minivan.
