4.8 Okay24 Jul 2019
Cons: Due to flight and baggage delays, y the time we reached rental counter our car was gone. Agent found us a car but would not honor original price. Ended up spending almost double - $1,200 vs $600. Can Kayak help here, I've already sent my ckmpkaint directly to Budget and am awaiting their response.
10.0 Excellent2 Jul 2019
Pros: Location of Avis/Budget office and pickup/drop off were convenient at the Bordeaux train station. Staff were friendly and helpful.
4.0 Okay1 Jun 2019
Cons: To start with, Budget should honor my reservation. I had booked a medium sized car for a little over $300. Upon checking in, your representative told me that they did not see that price in their system so he could not process it and give the car I reserved, so downgraded me (bags did not fit at all)
10.0 Excellent9 Sep 2018
Pros: everything
8.0 Excellent3 Dec 2017
Cons: The total price was more than the agreement made with Kayak.
8.0 Excellent27 Oct 2017
Pros: Avoided the train station fee but needed a shuttle to get to the car. Return was even easier than getting the car. Received a newish Opel corsa. Good experience overall.Cons: Hard to find the budget desk because there are absolutely no signs anywhere, I eventually found it by chance because I went to ask for help at the avis counter (avis owns budget). Also if you ask for it make sure you pronounce it as "boo-jay".
10.0 Excellent19 Sep 2017
Good carvhire experiencePros: New Renault Captur. Good price. Car checked with me present when i was returnong it. Charming salesmam in airport persuaded me to upgrade! But only a few extra eurosCons: All good
6.8 Good26 Jun 2017
Long check in and car not readyPros: Long queue at Bordeaux airport with a time consuming check in process. Even then the car was not available despite reserved time so had to wait. However they did finally give another car which was a grade up.

Very AccomadatingPros: We made a last minute reservation for an automatic transmission car and they were great, specifically Aurielle who helped us was amazing. Despite not reserving it as such, we were able to pickup the car in the city and drop off at the airport for no additional fee, and got to add a GPS (which was a lifesaver). It made our last day a great one!

3.6 Mediocre2 Jun 2019
Pros: The staff was nice at the rental counter but could have been more helpful especially for car pick up.Cons: They did not have the car that we rented and confirmed - Mercedes class C. They gave us a Renault Megane. The line was very long waiting for. > 40 min to pick up the car. The rental counter was convenient in the train terminal but it was difficult to find where the car was parked in 2 sep buildings
6.8 Good21 Jul 2018
Pros: car was type we expectedCons: they tried to charge me a different rate from the contract. Took 20 minutes to get resolved.Then they charge a lot to add second drivers. Got a flat tire, no spare, no compressor. They sent a tow truck (2.5 hours later). We had to go by taxi to local Avis office the following day to pick up replacement.
2.0 Mediocre17 Aug 2017
Cons: We were threatened with a 1,000 Euro fee for returning the car two hours late. Each representative we spoke with gave a different story. Then no such fee was charged, again without explanation. Never again!
10.0 Excellent21 Jan 2017
Pros: In Bordeaux the 1st Lady with whom we discussed the deal seemed to be tricky and manipulative but the 2nd one who gave us the key and guided through a concrete car leease related details was excellent and very very helpful. In Bordeaux we received amazing service: quick, efficient and very courtous.Cons: When taking the car in Barcelona and discussing what is available things were not very clear in the beginning and seemed to be a bit tricky and overwhelming.
10.0 Excellent27 Sep 2016
Very helpful Staff in both Bordeaux and BarcelonaPros: I made a mistake in the date of pick up and had to rent for one day prior to my official pick up time and the staff did everything possible to help make the impact of that as minimal as possible and retain the integretily of my American reservation rate saving me what could have been a thousand dollars in added costs.

5.6 Okay23 Oct 2019
Pros: No problems with the car.Cons: I expected pick-up to be slow, so I was not surprised when it was. Drop-off was slower than I expected: I had to wait for someone to come to the stall.
8.8 Excellent25 Aug 2019
Cons: Pick up was a bit slow due to staff sickness. Nancy was the best at pick up time.
5.2 Okay25 Apr 2019
Cons: At the desk I was told that even basic insurance was not included, this never happened to me before. I had to pay additional €200 for medium coverage insurance. I will never book a car from Thrifty again. They make the car look cheap but then you are charged lots more at pick up

4.4 Okay2 Jun 2019
Cons: There was zero signage for drop off. Missed my train because I spent 30 plus minutes looking for the location.
4.8 Okay12 Jul 2018
Drop-off charge or prepayment?Cons: - Although I had prepayed the rental cost, I was told I needed to pay a "drop-off" charge which is "never" prepayed. That charge would have doubled the total cost of the trip. I did not accept it, and finally managed to go with the prepayment bill, but the rental car agent became very moody after this. - The rental cars in France are supposed to have some accessories such as a warning triangle, extra light bulbs and a blue parking card. I only found the first item in the car. - The water tank for windshield wiping was empty. Which I only discovered when the birds made a mess on the windshield. The day after, I had to use soap and hot water to clean the window. Without this, the visibility was very poor at sunset time.
5.6 Okay16 Sep 2017
Horrible customer servicePros: I like the carCons: When we arrived, the car was not ready, so the person attending had to clean it up and prepare it. The worst part however was the return. The same guy was on the phone when I arrived and completely ignored me and another person for 10 minutes. When I gestured if it easy Ok to leave the keys, he pretty much insulted me. I travel around the world every month and always rent from different companies, but my last three Hertz experiences this year have been utter nonsense. I won't be renting from Hertz ever again.
9.6 Excellent4 Sep 2017
