2.0 Mediocre29 Dec 2020
Cons: Because of COVID I was unable to travel and Priceline would not work with me to move the date of pick up. I live in Los Angeles and we are in lockdown. These are unforeseen circumstances and you would think a large company like Priceline would concede and let me reschedule to a future date. They did not work with me. I lost $400 in this transaction and will never use them again.

Pros: The staff was very friendly, but the Fox booth was understaffed.
8.0 Excellent26 Feb 2021
Cons: The vehicle I rented had high mileage and looked worn inside and out. Had brake issue and I reported that. Let’s hope they fix the problem. The staff at my location are not the friendliest, they need to work on social skills. I had rented at this location before and thought it was just a one time thing but it was not any different the second time.
2.0 Mediocre22 Feb 2021
Cons: No SUV was available, was downgraded to a Toyota Corolla, a compact sedan which was much more uncomfortable for four people.
8.0 Excellent17 Feb 2021
Pros: Pick up person was very friendly and recommended places to go. Check out was smoothCons: Jeep interior was clean but looked like the exterior had not been washed as windows and frame of jeep were dirty. Maybe run vehicles through wash day before an arrival will help
4.0 Okay17 Feb 2021
Pros: Ladies in the lot at pick up and drop off we’re friendly and courteous.Cons: The counter person at pickup was rude and condescending. He was complaining about coworkers. The car smelled horrible and was all scratched and dinged up. Also I booked a compact and got a midsize. I wanted a compact to reduce my gas prices and it’s easier to park. Not happy that my flight got cancelled and they charged me $80 to drop off at a different airport only 20 mins away from my original airport. I couldn’t get through to a Fox agent either to see about changing airports. I won’t rent from them again.
6.0 Good10 Feb 2021
Pros: The original price of my two week rental was so incredibly low, and they upgraded me to a full size SUV because the compact SUV I reserved was not in stock. The price was less than half of all other rental agencies at Burbank airport. Granted, I booked through Kayak and paid in advance so it was not even close to a standard walk-up window rate.Cons: They have some really questionable fees for early/late return. I needed to extend my rental for 3 days and just those 3 extra days was 80% of my total rental charge. Thinking I'd just return the vehicle early and rent from someone else for the 4 days I needed I saw I would be charged a $30+ early return fee. So be sure about your dates, Fox is not at all flexible if the length if your needs change.

4.4 Okay2 Apr 2017
Poor Customer ServiceCons: I wanted to extend my rental. The credit card I had on file was lost, and discontinued. They would not take a new credit card over the phone. They said this was for my own protection, and prevents fraudulent car rentals. However the car has already been rented... I had already proven my identity when I picked it up. I was not renting a new car. Unless someone had stolen my car, credit card, and was conscientious enough to call Alamo to extend the rental... there is no reason to worry about fraud. Additionally other large companies take credit card information over the phone. To say it is not a secure method is lazy, and hinders Alamo from providing a better customer experience. The customer service rep agreed that the policy did not make sense in my case, but that she could do nothing about it, it was simply "the policy." To me, then, that is the definition of bad policy. I was forced to return to the airport, out of my way, to prove for the second time I am who I am. Just a terrible customer service experience. I will not be renting with Alamo or affiliated Alamo brands in the future.
10.0 Excellent21 Mar 2017
Pros: Easy pick up and drop off as well as excellent value.

Cons: I had to pay two times for the insurance. At the end, it cost me around $60 a day, where it should have cost me only $35 per day. Just make sure that they will not charge you twice for the insurance!!

9.6 Excellent1 Mar 2017
Great customer service!Pros: When I made my car rental and flight reservations, I did not realize that they is a John Wayne and a Bob Hope airports, one in Burbank and other in Orange County. So I mixed both up! I landed in John Wayne airport to get my car rental and did not realize it was in Burbank, The gentleman at the desk so helpful and understanding, he tried his best to honor my car rental rate which was for Burbank and not Orange County. I was able to return the car at Burbank and Alamo honored the same rate without any additional fees. I NEVER, write comments/feedbacks, but I have so very blown away at the level of service I received from Alamo car rental I had to. Despite my oversight with the wrong locations, most everyone I spoke with and or interacted with was so helpful, friendly and professional. Please look into the names of this people, as they deserve recognition. Thank you!Cons: When I returned the car at Burbank Alamo, the female at the desk was so unfriendly and down right rude. She was so resistant to honor the rate/price, even after I explained to her that I had called Alamo and spoken with them. Finally she reluctantly adjusted and credited me back to my card, then handed me a new receipt and said "here". She did not ruin my awesome experience I had with Alamo, but she should definitely be looked into.
6.4 Good27 Feb 2017
Troubles All AroundPros: * The car was clean and filled with gas.Cons: * Finding the car rental place at Burbank Airport if you are not coming in for a flight is near impossible! My husband and I went around twice before we found out that there was no parking for non-rental cars and he had to drop me off at the Alamo rental place and then leave. The signs (or lack of them) made getting to my rental place on time stressful and we ended up being 15 minutes late. *Once we got onto the freeway, the car started making the high pitch sound from the window at 70 mph. We were going the speed of traffic to Chico on the 5 freeway and this loud high pitch sound made me want to turn on the radio and set it to high to drown out the sound. There must be a seal broken or something on the window but what puzzled me is that the car was relatively new with only 13, 500 miles. Need less to say, the 7 hours there and back to Chico was a very noisy annoying drive. * When we were on the streets of Chico, the car made a ratting sound. It sounded like it was on the dashboard and the rattling continue for the whole trip when the car was driven at low speeds (20 - 40 mph).

8.4 Excellent15 Oct 2020
Pros: Very friendly staffCons: I ordered a Cadillac or similar and was offered a Volvo SUV which is not my style. I ordered a luxury car. I was then offered a compact sports sedan, which ended up being a BMW 3 series. It was nice but I am a big person and do not like SUVs and order luxury cars for the very large size and extra room. The BMW 3 series is a very nice car but much smaller inside than the Cadillac or Lincoln I'm usually ordering. I did not receive the car class size I ordered. I was not unhappy but the experience was not great either.
5.6 Okay8 Jul 2019
Pros: Friendly staff when we finally arrived to correct Enterprise location. It did save us money, but was a hassle we weren't prepared for.Cons: When I called Enterprise to confirm the car reservation, I asked about pickup, since this was not the airport location. I was told it was 3.6 miles from airport and there would be a free shuttle to pick us up. Turned out to NOT be true, and almost 8 mile Lyft ride to get there.
10.0 Excellent5 Jan 2019
Above and beyondPros: The staff was extremely accommodating. They were very helpful even though our flight was delayed and we arrived after the office had closed. They still provided us with the hard to find van when we arrived a day late, they honored our original reservation price and provided an uber to get back to the airport upon return. Very courteous and helpful staff and management.

At drop-off an Avis guy Ian paid to stand there and tell you you have to record your own mileage and fuel and walk in to the terminal to check out and get a receipt. The lady at the desk seemed put out that I already had the mileage and fuel so she couldn’t send me back to get it. Not a good look.

9.2 Excellent1 Aug 2018
Pros: We thought we had rented at the airport but it was actually at a nearby rental center. Avis airport personnel were not helpful and pushed a hard sell for products we didn't need.

( insides were covered in dust and had a horrible musty smell) I needed to extend the length of the rental, but the automated phone line kept hanging up or disconnecting. I called the local office and they tried to charge me a completely different amount. I went to the office to show my receipt and he looked it up and said it was a computer malfunction. I then had to wait nearly 40 minutes to get my car. I will consider looking for other rental companies next time.

I put LAX as the starting location and Kayak changed it to Burbank.Cons: I put LAX as the starting location and Kayak changed it to Burbank so I did not get my deal. I paid double. Also Budget did not tell me this, the price came up double and I had to ask why. Terrible customer service. I feel bait and switched! I'm very unhappy with this.
2.0 Mediocre23 Mar 2018
Cons: I did not like looking for a car that wasn't there in the pouring rain three seperate times because they didn't assign me a car that was on the lot. I didn't like people who walked away and did not help, unless helping means confirming that a Kia is not a Chevy and a Jaguar in not a Hyundai. Thanks to the man who just got me a car and changed my reservation.

2.8 Mediocre5 Feb 2018
Faulty Car RentalsCons: Sent me out with a car that had an improperly mounted tire. Purchased insurance through KAYAK. Budget says I never purchased coverage and now I'm on the hook for roadside assistance for a tire I did not even pop. Worst customer service ever!
