    This wasn't my worst budget rental pickup experience ever, but not my best either. Will start with…read morethe two staff members working were courteous and working very hard. The drawback is they were the only ones for a line of like 20 people, and given the nature of car rentals each person takes 5-10 mins. I ended up waiting 35-40 mins after a late flight and it set us back from getting on to our two hour drive. There was in fact NO fast break or Avis preferred line, although I saw a sign for one (so having that status didn't help me this time). The car pickup lot was a bit weird too, but had enough signs we were able to get out without much trouble (couldn't find an elevator though? I ended up leaving my mom with the bags and going up via the stairs). Despite this experience I would still rent from Avis/budget again :) but wish the process had been a little faster - again though, this had nothing to do with the actual service. They were doing a good job.

    If I could have gotten away with not even giving them a star I would have. Reserved a car in…read moreFebruary, this is now june when I took my trip. Called 3 times to check on reservation between then and June. Got to airport no car. By this time all card were gone. Worst part of vacation in Montana is we couldn't drive to see anything. Will never use Budget or Hertz again!

    I had placed a reservation 3 months in advanced for a Standard SUV (aka Ford Flex). I called 2…read moredays before, and was told "yes, we have plenty of AWD ones for you to pick up on Sunday" I arrive, and I'm told my "Dodge Journey" is available. I asked if it was AWD, and she said, oh it is front wheel drive, it should be fine. (as it is snowing) I asked if there was an AWD drive available, and she said there wasn't one available... it wasn't until I specifically asked if I could go down a class in vehicle to get an AWD. Fortunately there was a small SUV in AWD. It worked out fine; but a bit disappointed that I reserved a larger SUV, but it wasn't available in AWD, so I paid the same for a smaller car...

    We rented an SUV and chose Avis First for our trip to Kauai. The Avis First option was awful and…read morewaited over 40 minutes for our car. We followed the instructions on the app for First pick up but apparently the app did not update properly so we sat and waited. Called Avis and they were clueless and could not transfer me or get a message to the Avis counter for us. We were on our way to walk to the Avis counter with large amounts of luggage when the app finally updated to say our car was on its way, so we went back to the pick up spot and waited some more. Our car was not an SUV and our luggage almost did not fit, had luggage on our laps and floorboards. The car was a Mazda and I had to spend 10 days holding the back door open for my daughter each time she got in and out so the car next to us did not get dinged. The back door needs to open into the spot next to it in order for an 80lbs girl could get in or out. Crazy! The car drove awful and we all decided we would never buy a Mazda. Taking the car back was easier and they did meet us at the curb in a timely manner. I was taking out the little trash we had when the gal said that was ok because it was part of the Avis First rental so I stopped. There was sand in the trunk of which I was told that was ok too. Unfortunately for us that was not ok and we were charged $250 for cleaning. Speaking with customer service was very frustrating because the call center was very loud so you are hearing other CS reps talking as well as the "I don't care attitude". We will never be renting from them again as the communication with respect to expectations was the worst and we did not get anything remotely close to an SUV and out another $250.

    Had an excellent experience here recently. Being in middle of the post-COVID travel peak and a…read morenation-wide rental car shortage, I was super worried that the agency would've overbooked cars and left me without a car to go to Yellowstone. Fortunately, that did not happen, and not only that, the representative went above and beyond and got us a hybrid as we requested, the car had only 2,600 miles on it and was in excellent condition. On top of that, the representative did not try to up sell or swindle us into buying additional coverage since I had LDW coverage from Amex, which some other car rental companies (such as Fox) would have tried to do given the amazing rate I had managed to book at (only 1/5 of the current booking price). Just an overall great experience from pick up to drop off. Highly recommend!

    Deceptive practices. Read your paperwork before leaving the counter…read more We reserved a **minivan for one week for $1,282.33 and declined all rental insuranceduring the online reservation because we are covered through our credit card. When we arrived at the Bozeman Airport Hertz/Dollar counter, Shamus told us they were low on minivans and offered us an upgraded SUV for $42.99/day, saying it was "50% off." We agreed. What he did not tell us was that he also added rental insurance for $66.99/day. He never asked if we already had coverage and never disclosed that insurance was being added. On the drive to Big Sky, we reviewed our contract and immediately noticed the charge. We called the office right away because we wanted it removed immediately--not after the trip. We were told only the supervisor, Kristina Wilson, could help. Over the course of our vacation and after returning home, we have called at least five times. Kristina has never come to the phone or returned our calls. When we questioned Shamus, he said, How was I supposed to know you had insurance through your credit card? My response: Ask the customer or look at the reservation, where insurance was clearly declined. To make matters worse, they placed a $2,827 authorization on our credit card for a one-week rental. For comparison, my brother rented a vehicle for the same trip through another airport and paid about $600. Customers should know that rental agents often receive commissions on insurance and upgrades, making full disclosure especially important. Based on our experience, the lack of transparency was unacceptable. Read every line of your rental agreement before leaving the counter.Although this location operates under the Dollar name, it is the same company as Hertz. We will not rent from this location again.
