Worst customer service i ever experienced. Get someone to answer phones and stop listing phone numbers if no one answering them.

Buyer beware. Watch out for the toll scam. Paid all tolls in cash and just got a charge on my credit card.

Do yourself a favor and don't go to this location. Very dishonest employees. Plus the quality of the car was very poor

This rental car experience was completely avoidable by the company. Our reservation for a 12-person…read morepassenger van was booked months in advance, as we and many family members were flying in for our daughter's wedding. As we waited by baggage for the family members to arrive who were sharing driving duties with us, I was watching how slow it was taking them to process customer after customer. The rest of the desks (Hertz, Enterprise, Dollar) were all empty and speedy. So I preemptively got in line early (.5 hr before scheduled pick up), trying to plan to reach the front of the line as our extra drivers arrived...to save time (which, even as I'm typing this is hilarious, because that was never...never never ever going to happen). I did plan it perfectly, they arrived as I reached second in line, hugs and hellos, and as we stepped up to the desk, we were informed there are no passenger vans available. And already a half hour in, we stood at that desk for another hour and forty minutes as the staff scrambled, ran out to the garage and back, waiting for management to respond to them to try and make something happen. We learned that there was really no inventory of cars for the reservations made. We watched the line behind us grow from 10 to about 50 people in that time. Shout out to Zeke, Whitney, Aman & Elizabeth. They were all left to deal with angry and frustrated travelers with no cars to give them, no authority to make any decisions, no support, and short staffed inside and outside. Whoever "Bob" is left them all high and dry and was not reachable or responsive, but apparently the only person who could authorize anything. In our case, it finally ended up resulting in two 7-passenger cars after almost 2 hours. When we received them, they were dirty, with gum stuck to the cargo space carpet. I have photos of a super long line of people, but that has already been posted by others. They completely overbook with no regard for arriving travelers. My daughter lives here so we will most likely be renting again. But I will never ever rent from this Avis/Budget location. In fact, I will likely stay away from Avis/Budget anywhere because of the experience at this location. Zeke, Whitney, & Elizabeth need a raise and a vacation.

Absolutely terrible. Dirty, smoke smelling Kia and no shot of an upgrade or change of car. Go to…read moreNational.

Great vehicle, superb staff, and on the highway in 15 minutes…read more Really enjoyed my experience renting from Budget at Albany Airport. The stations are across from baggage claim. Easy and simple. After a belligerent customer tried to parse and debate the language of contract terms, a rep named Abbas got to us and was super friendly and helpful. Gave my reservation package that I confirmed a couple days prior, received my car, and learned it was a level better than expected. Very helpful for this trip. A quick four minute walk across to the parking facility and I was literally on the highway within 20 minutes of stepping up to the counter. Vehicle was clean and ready to go. Minor scuffs in a couple spots, which is normal for a rental in my experience. Ran well and like the drive for a large SUV. Return exchange was super smooth with no lines. The Budget rep was friendly, and I saw the folio receipt in my email within minutes. We were in line for flight check-in within 10 minutes of pulling in to return the car. Reviewed my receipt and no surprise fees. Bonus points from reserving from my Alaska Airlines account, too. Boom. I'll use these folks again next time.

Car was ready on arrival with only short wait in line. Car was as reserved. Drop off was easy and…read moreefficient. Nice that counters are right by baggage claim and cars are just a short walk away. Only negative was car was still a little dirty on pick up but definitely not a dealbreaker with all the other positives.

I booked a car with Dollar when I purchased my United ticket though the United website…read more I was puzzled when, on arriving in Albany, there was no kiosk for Dollar along with the five or so other car rentals. It was only then that I found out that Dollar is not located at the airport but is ten minutes away and requires a shuttle. I called the shuttle at waited ten minutes for it to show up. The rest of the process was smooth. I was concerned about returning the car to the location and catching the shuttle at 6 am for my morning flight, but that went smoothly too. There are two issues that resulted in my low rating. The first is the off airport location. This is not made clear at the time of the reservation. I would expect both Dollar and United to have been transparent on that point. Second, the car rental location is understaffed. There is often only one person checking in customers and driving the shuttle. You can see how this could be an issue. However, the service was friendly and I had no issue with the car.

Never rent a car from Dollar car rental, they don't honor their contractual agrreement. They…read moreoffered prepay gas refill based on usage, i returned my car full of gas and was charged almost $80 over the agreed on rate. I have attempted twice to reach out to Dollar car rental to bring resolution to this matter but never received a follow up email or call. They don't seem to care about customer service since they got your money, What a scam ! I booked my car rental through Southwest airlines, they should stop promoting their car rental with Dollar as its's a bad reflection on Southwest airlines too.

NEVER AGAIN. I waited for more than an hour at the Albany…read moreAirport Budget counter to pick up a car I had reserved and paid for in advance. The next day, I discovered that one of the tires was underinflated and had a slow leak - so Budget had basically sent me out in an unsafe vehicle. After AAA came and put the spare tire on, I drove back to Albany for a replacement vehicle. Rather than an apology, the Budget reps in the garage offered only a sarcastic laugh when I said I would be asking Budget to waive fuel charges, due to the danger and inconvenience Budget had caused me. Although I returned the replacement car with a full tank, Budget charged me an additional $138 anyway. Apparently, Budget employees don't check the fuel gauge on returned cars, and I didn't have the "time-stamped documentation" their online Customer Service demanded as proof. When I asked them how much my tolling charges were, they said there was nothing in the rental agreement about my enrolling in the toll program, though I had confirmed my enrollment with two on-site Budget employees. (Note: An additional $28.16 charge from Budget later appeared on my credit card, with no explanation or documentation. I assume this was the tolling charge.) The only good thing I can say is that the Budget reps at the counter in the Albany airport were working hard, and patiently, in a very inefficient system. I thank them for their courtesy and good humor, and offer my sympathy for having to work for such a broken company. I will never rent from Budget again.

This location ran out of vehicles to fill the reservation. They then let everyone stand in line…read morewithout letting us know what was happening. The two women at the front desk were giggling and using their phones without a care in the world. It took just under an hour to get to get a vehicle when we had just one person in front of us in line. They were offering electric cars without any knowledge if we'd be able to charge them or utility vans. What an absolute joke.
