Dan, Oct 2020
Cons:
Did not have the vehicle (pickup truck) I had reserved or any other vehicle options. Should not have accepted reservation if can't fulfill it. Had to pay for a Lyft ride home since I came away without a vehicle.7.2 Good
Anonymous, Jun 2020
Pros:
The process of reserving the car and the car itself was easy.Cons:
There was an issue when I dropped off the car in Helena. I will say that the empolyee, Gwen, who helped me from Albany was VERY helpful. She resolved the issue. I feel that the employee in Helena was also very kind and was just trying to do his job. The situation did cause me some stress, though.8.4 Very good
Anonymous, Jun 2020
Pros:
Staff was friendly, but they only had one car available and made me upgrade for more money, then tried to hard talk me into getting the additional insurance. Classic tactics.Cons:
They should have given me the car for the same price, instead of charging me for the upgrade.7.9 Good

I got a phone call saying that they were changing the hours for my pick up location and that I could get my vehicle 2 hours later than planned. I would have missed my flight. When I called customer service to see what options I had, the guy said none!!!! He wasn't apologetic. Didn't try to help in any way. I will NEVER use Avis again.9.6 Wonderful
Marcus, Jun 2020
Pros:
Upon picking up the rental, the lady was extremely polite and helpful. As well as the drop off.Cons:
Cleaning windows is a chore, but the rear window on the inside was just a smearing of dirt.10.0 Wonderful
Ellyn, Apr 2020
Pros:
The young lady staffer couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. She thoughtfully sprayed the counter with Lysol prior to my approaching it, provided details about cleaning of my car and number of days since last rented...her caring attitude, friendliness and information were very reassuring. I must state that my experience with enterprise at the end of my flight was much the opposite, so she really held a positive memory for me.Cons:
Nothing...Budget

Peter Aikman, May 2021
Pros:
The rental agent was friendly and helpful, but was working alone. There needed to be another agent present to move things along.Cons:
I had to wait the better part of an hour before the lone rental agent was free. In other words, there was a line of 4 or 6 people, and one of them took a really long time.10.0 Wonderful

Zonia, Aug 2020
Pros:
I had a reservation I booked online And got a confirmation. Upon arriving and talking with the agent there he let me know that he had no vehicle at the time available for the reservation, I asked for any other vehicles if he had available for replacement, he said he was totally out of vehicles and that he had two reservations that he did not have any cars for. On my way out a lady was entering as she was the other reservation. She came out and got in her rental and drive off. Agent there obviously lied, performed discrimination and so unprofessional. This is a multiple time same agent had done something like this. Other time he had out a rental that was very dirty. Crumbs on chairs and sticky door handles, open drinks and face masks on the floor. WOULD NOT RENT FROM THERE ANYMORE UNTIL THEY REMOVE THIS AGENT!!!Cons:
DO YOUR JOB OR DON’T BE THERE. CUSTOMERS ARE YOUR FIRST PRIORITIES.5.2 Fair
Bill, Feb 2020
Cons:
This was a one way rental from Corvallis to Portland OR. Car smelled smokey. We were not told Budget had no drop off at PDX so time was wasted going to the rental car garage, then exiting and finding the off site return. Agent in Corvallis was very helpful, reopening the office when we arrived a little late.10.0 Wonderful
