    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

The car was only 5/8s full when I rented it. I told the attendant who advised me to take a pic of the gauge which I did. I returned the car at 5/8s full (as directed). But was charged and extra $25. I mentioned this in my initial customer review. David O. contacted me almost immediately to say, quote "It appears the system did an auto read on your vehicle and charged you for the gas. I will send in for a refund for you for the amount of $23.25 plus tax." Which he did. Now THAT's service! Thank you David. Thank you Avis. I will for sure rent from you guys again. In fact I will be there late October. Looking forward to it. Thx again. -cj

    Our flight was delayed and we landed pretty late in Albany. When we got to the Avis rental counter,…read morethere was no one there to give us the keys for the car. There was no one to contact. There was no information. There was no communication. We had to call for a Lyft ride at 3 AM to take us to our hotel. It's unbelievable that the staff here left us high and dry, when they had our flight information and they knew that our flight was delayed. They could've texted us. Emailed us. Called us. To tell us that they weren't going to be there (even though they should've been there.) I called them the next morning, but no one answered. So I just canceled the reservation. I'll never rent from Avis in Albany again.

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.

Before my trip I was genius and forgot my wallet at home in Hawaii. So the only thing I had on me was my passport. I've rented with Alamo several times so I knew they would have all of my information on file. However that didn't matter. They gave me a hard time and I was unable to get a car. I spoke with Alamo again and they told me I could get a temporary license and that would be able to work. So I had to purchase a new license via online DMV. After I was able to do that everything worked out. There was a woman working the outside booth, I didn't catch her name... she was the manager of the pick up booth that day. She was super sweet and friendly! She first tried to put me in a clown car, I was not driving that nor was it what I paid for. I was very angry and annoyed especially after all I just went through. However she told me when something is clean in the category in which I purchased I could get it. I was mad I then had to wait again. Shortly later she pulled up a vehicle and was like here goes a little upgrade so we can get you out of here. Overall I had a crappy experience but her super friendly and sweet attitude really turned it around. Kindness goes a long way, and it's free!

The reason I am writing this review now is because my most recent experience was still excellent despite a small hiccup with available cars on the lot (easily/quickly resolved). The check-in process inside the terminal went smoothly. The interaction at the garage booth was fine--Chloe M. was professional and helpful in communicating what was being done to provide enough available cars. The manager was also there and stepping in to solve this issue in a calm and respectful manner. Bonus points--he was dressed in professional attire and communicated well, which gave me confidence in a positive outcome. Alamo at the Albany Airport is my first choice rental car company based on experiences. My bill has always been accurate. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, which is especially welcomed after/before airline travel.

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.
