Avis in the B'ham, AL Airport charged us over twice what the price was supposed to be. We reserved a full size (Camry type of car) - They gave us a Volvo.

Advise to AVOID this rental company - at least out of the B'ham, AL airport. Very dishonest!

I have rented 3 cars, 2 trucks, and 1 moving truck from this location. Their customer service is always great. Whenever I have a question they answer or find the answers out for me. They are always smiling and pleasant to be at work. Their vehicles have always been clean, and nice. I have rented from Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and Thrifty. I have used airport locations and none airport locations. This Budget location always has the newest vehicles for you to rent. If you're looking to buy a specific car, and want more than a 30 minutes test drive. Give them a call and see if they have it available. They don't finance in house, but if you can get your own financing they can even sell you a vehicle when it's time. Meaning once a vehicle hits a certain number of miles, they sell it, auction it or etc. If you're looking for great service and great cars. This is the Budget to go to. All the staff gives great service. If you don't believe me call Budget and find out.

On a recent trip to Northern Michigan, my family flew into Pellston and was in need of a rental…read morecar. Due to our late arrival on a Friday and departure on a Sunday, there were few car rental companies that were even open / willing to work with this schedule. Luckily, Hertz was one of those that was available... I booked online and followed up with a phone call as our trip approached. Originally, no mini vans were available, so I booked a sedan, but was worried it would not be big enough to accommodate me, my husband, my brother, my two kids, and all of our luggage. Luckily, when I called, Dawn was able to find us a mini-van! Dawn could not have been friendlier or more attentive to our needs. We were also able to secure two car seats and were pleased all around with the rental from Hertz. We did pay a lot of $$ for it, but it was worth it. I'd definitely recommend going through this Hertz location if you find yourself in need of a rental anywhere near Pellston!

Escorted me outside as though he was taking me to my car. When I got outside he told me they did not have cars available and would not have any before they closed. I could see 5 other individuals inside so I asked if they also had reservations, he said yes and they were not getting cars either. The rep did not offer to find a car at another location or any other resolution. His excuse is that this location is "corporate" heavy and they run into this problem often. So if you need a car to be guaranteed do not rent from this location.

David found one rate online that was fine--but we wondered if we could get better...so I called Chad at Avis. Chad was great--very personable! Not only did he beat the online rate, but he offered us a better car option. As long as a Prius was on the lot, he would let us use that car because it had better gas mileage for the long trek. It was great!!! He did warn us, upon arriving to pick it up, that it wasn't the most comfortable car. BUT we drove in it for a long time, and both of us were comfortable! Plenty of leg room--which is important for my tall fiance and all of our luggage. We started with a full trunk, and came home with a full car--but there was still space left if we needed it. We rented the car for 2 weeks at a great rate--mileage WAS terrific, kept our gas prices down--and we'd do it again! If we plan any long road trips again, we know who we'll be calling.

I personally had a great experience both times. I also happened to speak with the same person both times which may have helped. But Gregory was extremely helpful as I tried to rent each time, and I didn't have to wait beyond my initial reservation time. I actually was able to get it 30 minutes EARLY the second time, which was a game changer because I had to get to Atlanta by a certain time. Anyhow, he was also just very helpful, simple, quick, and polite. Before getting in the vehicle he mentioned that it's appreciated if you return the car in the way it was received---vacuumed. I don't know, people get really uptight about having to do basic stuff and maybe that's why there seems to be a common theme in their reviews. If I am ever in Birmingham again, I plan on renting here and would recommend it to anyone. Reasonably priced too since he also gave me a slight discount (the second time), probably for coming in polite and without high, unreasonable expectations. I returned the car the way I received it the first time around without throwing a fit. I left this review on Google, but also felt like I should add it here too.
