    9-17-23 Returned the car at 7am... no problem!

    Renting a car on the mainland... Using Dan O.'s suggestion, I found the past two rental cars through AutoSlash.com. I can specify the "least expensive vehicle" or search by car size (SUV vs. Compact car, etc) with this website. This time, I needed to pick up a car in Las Vegas and return it to Long Beach Airport. Autoslash sent me quotes from Priceline, and I chose my Car Rental Company from the quotes they gave me. Alamo had the best options, so we used this company. We were quite happy with the Toyota Corolla, but I couldn't figure out how to get my phone to sync with the car's monitor. I went back to Southern California a few days later for a last-minute trip. I used Autoslash again and got a Kia Forte. No problem! Hooking up with the car's system was simple! The gal who gave me the car keys didn't push me to get extra coverage... yay! Even bringing the car back to the Rental Car Center was easier this time. I was greeted in the parking lot and went on my way. (I didn't have to go inside the building and drop the keys in the slot.) The polite young man even reminded me to get my jacket from the front passenger seat... thank you! I left the keys in the car and went across the street to check in my luggage at the Long Beach Airport... Easy! I received an email with the invoice... everything went smoothly!

    This rental car facility is so convenient. It's literally across the street from the Long Beach airport. When you return the car just pull into one of the Alamo stalls and park. All the rental car companies here share a lot. One of the workers from Alamo will come out and inspect the car. They'll tell you to leave the keys in the car ignition. They glance over the car and say that they'll send you an email. The whole process took less than 30 seconds.

    Bait and switch Picture showing was a new Dodge Transport. I got an old Chevy Pedophile truck, getting 10 mpg for $987/week. I should have gotten the title for this POS at this rate Shop elsewhere, you will be happier, you may get something "similar" to the photo and certainly better mpg. $80 to fill it and had to fill it twice As an added bonus, we had it not only delivered with trash already in it; it needs an oil change

    If I have to return a car after hours where do I leave the keys?

    That's a great question, Lani! If returning after hours to our Long Beach Airport office, please place the key and the rental jacket in the Alamo return drop box located at the rental counter inside the car rental facility. Thanks! - David

Long Beach rental car facility is extremely convenient - just a walk across the street. The problem is that National is a joke at this location and really makes me want to go with another company because they really are that bad and inefficient at this location - every.single.time. I come here! On this trip today, I had a rental reservation for a full size elite. I was told they don't have that and ended up having to take a VW Atlas (or a convertible, which was way too small). The outdoor booth, which the app told me to go to when I arrived, was closed. Then I went and stood in the National line and was told that I need to get in the Enterprise line. Then I had to wait in a long combo line of Enterprise/National...what a joke this place is. It's so poorly managed and unorganized.

As an Emerald Club member, I had reserved an SUV, but it was not available when I arrived. I had either two choices--a large pickup truck or a compact. Neither one was appealing to me, but I took the truck. So I ended up spending a lot more on gas, but it was a pretty decent vehicle. I would have preferred the car that I reserved. Normally, whenever I return a rental car, the employees are right there, checking me out immediately. Here, on the weekends, there are no people, and you have to walk up to the main national desk. Not a big deal but just puzzled me. At this location, there appears to be zero value to the Emerald Club. On the other hand, they were very quick to send me an email confirmation when I returned truck.

Me and many others waited, and waited, and waited while lone staff member Carlos continued checking in new people. A couple other staff leisurely strolled from the back after an hour but didn't appear to be assisting him in any way. I don't get it. I had a reservation and waiting 2 hours for a car is ridiculous!! Worst experience ever with Budget. Carlos seemed nice enough. He just needed help and cars. He stated they shared the fleet with Avis but there hadn't been anyone in Avis' line for quite awhile. Tension got high in the lobby because people were tired of waiting. Typically they walk out to the car and it is mutually inspected by you both when renting. Here they just send you out to where the vehicle is parked. It was a little confusing at first because there are multiple agencies with the same parking stall numbers. Since the Budget lot for available cars isn't clearly marked you don't know where their lot begins/ends. The car itself drove well and appeared clean. Return process: There was a lady sitting outside waiting for returns. Maybe that position could assist in the Rental process when not busy. I digress. Lol. After pulling in she gets in the car, checks the mileage and tells me they will email me a receipt. I requested one be printed. Of course we had to go inside for that (guess her handheld unit couldn't handle that function). She told me they wouldn't give me a receipt inside either. Wait what?! Once inside I observed she went to the Avis (vs Budget) counter. So I followed suit. You guessed it...no one was in line still at Avis so I approached the counter. The guy there says ok you're all set. I again requested a receipt. He stated it's in your email. So I pull up my email right there and there is a charge for over $65. He stated oh that will be corrected. Would you believe I had to ask him to correct it right then and send me a new email? Still no one in line so he's just chilling - doing nothing else. I believe he had his hands in his pockets. Lol. Begrudgingly (it appeared) he corrected the invoice and sent me a new email with a zero balance. Wow. Don't think I'll ever rent from this Budget/Avis location again. Sorry can't recommend at this time.
