Bad customer service!!! I rented a vehicle from Avis/budget at the olive location. I didn't realize until I Got home, There was fast food bags and trash everywhere. I had to clean and sanitize the inside of the rental myself. Another issue I had, I didn't think to check the Tires because you think they rent out safe cars... wrong!! My tires were so bald!!! By the grace of god I made it safe to my destination. I called to complain to Rafael Sosa, the guy who checked out the car. He basically was beyond rude and didnt even bother to listen about my complaint or attempt to give me the correct phone number to address my issue. He told me that it's not his problem and he didn't care. On top of the bad quality of rentals they have terrible service !!! You're better off going to the airport. Stay away from this place!!

Closed business sign, doesn't tell those picking up cara what to do.

Would have been nice if their covid-19 protocol included calling existing reservations to let them know they're close. I could have made alternate arrangements instead of spending money on an uber only to find a closed business. Customer service would have charged me extra fees to rent from the airport instead too. Not cool.

This is the best avis/budget ever!! I rented a car last minute and when I showed up all they had left was a big van/empty lot (it is easter weekend) This happens alot in most rental places where I reserve and show up but they're out of cars (enterprise made me wait 2 hours once & it wasn't a holiday) most of the time I'm waiting hours and end up with a crappy car... the guys asked me to wait a few minutes and 10 mins later they showed up with a convertible Mustang! Alex and Rafael you guys are the best!!! They even gave me a water bottle and a sweet discount for being so patient. First time renting with Avis and from now on I won't rent anywhere else. This is now my go to rental spot in LA! Thank you guys, I'll be back!

This place is awesome! The price for the car I got with full tank was perfect! I save over $100 compared to Hertz! The customer service was awesome too! Thank you guys for the amazing service:)

Thanks Avis for helping us make our LA trip memorable! Great service! Will be back!

Enterprise is my go to rental stop. The app makes it easy to rent a car. My last remtal was a Ford…read moreBronco. It was super comfortable. I usually rent the mid size cars for trips to Vegas. To rent you need a Credit card. Not a debt card. I have seen people get very upset when they find out. They also charge a $100 deposit. They need proof of insurance too. You are able to buy it there. However it van be pricey. It does give you peace of mind. They have after hours drop off. I have always used that option with zero issues.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely frustrating and concerning. We were contacted by them and a reservation was made for us after the Tesla key card we were given at the Van Nuys location did not work. We then drove approximately 45 minutes to this location, only to arrive and have the situation handled very poorly. There was a clean, new Tesla available for pickup, but we were given excuses and were told things that did not seem consistent with what was actually happening. We were also told that they did not have the PIN for the vehicle, which made the situation even more confusing. After driving 45 minutes based on a reservation they arranged for us, we expected the vehicle to be ready and the process to be straightforward. Instead, we felt that we were being misled and that our time was completely disregarded. I strongly recommend documenting everything and verifying who is actually authorized to operate these rental locations before doing business with them. This was an extremely disappointing experience and raised serious concerns for us about how this location is being operated.

Not this time it was fast and even got humor and a smile from young lady who processed me... Now Budget gave me a KIA , UGH but it's 4 wheels , working radio and it's clean. Like so clean you could have licked it and not got dirt on your tongue. I don't recommend it unless you're into it. Anyways total over the moon with my experience today. I'll rebook with you guys again...

I wanted to believe that all the YELP reviews were wrong. Why did I think 100+ 1.5 star reviews…read morewere all wrong? Ugh. The check out wasn't bad. The lady wasn't friendly but customer service wasn't something she excelled in. She charged me $258 in "incidentals", when I inquired why so high, she said "You'll get it back when you return the car." Budget and Avis are the only 2 rentals places at Burbank that open at 5:30a. I came at 5am to get in line to return car. 6 cars in line. I'm 2nd. They took first car and fourth car. Did I mention I was 2nd? What the heck? I asked if there was a reason he took the car 2 cars behind me and he just looked at me. It was 5:25a. I asked him if he could inspect my car. He said inspections start at 5:30am. So I asked him what he did with the cars at 5:10am (cars 1 and 4) and he said "Check them in." I said "So basically, they're turned in?" and he said "Yes." So not sure what's the difference between "Turned in" and "Inspected" so I just left my keys on the dash and left and while I was walking to the airport it got notification that my car was turned in. While waiting for said guy to come back and turn in/inspect my car, the 3rd car guy and I were chatting and told me next time ask for a hybrid so I don't waste much gas (I was given a Jeep Compass). I give up.

As I see, the ratings are divided between 1 and 5 stars on Yelp for this location…read more Well, my experience for the 2nd time around was very seamless, effortless, quick and easy. No problems there. 1st time was in Palm Springs, and now inside Burbank airport. Walked in earlier today around 10AM, and was greeted by Ruben. A very pleasant gentleman. He was very eager to help me. I told him that I was looking for a small to medium car to get ready for a road trip to Hearst Castle and that need a car, since it's a good 5 hour drive from Studio City to Hearst Castle. He was quick to show me 3 cars. One was a 2024 Toyota Prias, the 2nd one was a 2025 Honda Accord, and the 3rd one was a mini van. I told him they are all nice cars, but I just want to get some prices on it, before I make up my mind. He looked at the prices and the most affordable/reasonable one was the Toyota, then the Honda. Not to mention that they are more affordable than any other car rental shops that I had gone to. Place, inside the lot, and their waiting area was very clean. Also the cars that he picked out for me to see were clean. Inside and outside. I told him, let me talk to my son, and will definitely get back to you guys. He smiled and said anytime and wished me a great day! Thank you Alamo, Ruben and management.

When I made the booking, I expected to receive a vehicle similar to an Audi Q3 or a comparable compact SUV based on the vehicle class advertised. However, upon pickup, I was provided with a Hyundai Venue, which is significantly smaller and does not appear to be comparable to an Audi Q3 in terms of size, comfort, or features. In fact, I was unable to accommodate even my two checked suitcases in the vehicle!
