Unfortunately, the car rental center is not inside the main terminal, so you do have to take a shuttle to the rental car area, which is about a 10-minute ride. When we landed, there was a long line, and it took us about 10-15 minutes to make the queue for the shuttle. Once we got to the rental car center, customer service was great. We had already checked in online and had our own insurance, so the process was pretty smooth. The customer service rep was really nice and even cracked some funny jokes. A few minutes later, we were in our car a white Mustang convertible in great shape and very clean. The only thing I wish they had done was give us a quick demo on how to close and lock the top, because we couldn't figure it out at first and had to watch a YouTube tutorial. Returning the vehicle was a breeze, and I got an email receipt within minutes. Overall, a smooth rental experience and a good choice for our San Diego trip!

I have never rented a car from this place before, ever, but every time I try to rent one, they…read moreclaim that I am on a "Do Not Rent" / DNR list. It is so frustrating because Costco Travel packages include an Alamo Rental Car. So I can never get the rental car in the package; which is just dumb. They say that there is a past rental agreement, in MY (very specific) name, from 26 years ago in which the rented vehicle was returned 2 days late. They say that the rental fees were paid but the DNR is in my name. So if the fees were paid, and the vehicle was returned, why is there a DNR in my name? They cannot explain. This makes no sense. When I asked them more details, they cannot give them to me, saying that the details and rental information are not available. It's a mystery and very dumb. Nevertheless, I am happy renting with other companies and not this one. They are super disrespectful whenever I try to rent from them and they cannot clear whatever the so-called DNR is in my name. No thank you Alamo.

Their hours of operation are excellent and the fact that they have a 24 hour drop off is amazing. I tried to rent a car from both Hertz and enterprise, but they both close before 2 PM on a Saturday and they aren't open on Sundays so that means you have to keep it for an extra day, even if you don't need it. Total scam. These guys are open seven days a week with normal business hours and you can drop it off anytime. Super friendly and easy to work with. My car was definitely used and it wasn't the newest model of anything but you know what? It worked just fine.

And the RED FLAGS start right at their website where it says if you fill out info it will give you a price. It used to, but not any more. You still submit the request thinking that they will then reply with a quote...they DONT! I think their aim is that you show up in person the day you NEED the car, so that they can have you exactly where they want you. And so, if their website says it's all inclusive (insurance, liability, taxes) then when you're in person, why do they give you one price and then a Higher one "if you need insurance"???? Oh and btw...if your credit card protects rentals, they object to that and by "they" i mean literal, cause the other co-workers chime in, as if one vulture isn't enough. Last time I rented, the engine light did come on the car, so when they were reasonable and semi-decent it mightve been ok putting up with car issues but now, that they stuck, I will not be bothering with them at all!!

I was supposed to have Executive Elite status through a status match though it hadn't gone through in time for this visit, though it ironically went through the week after renting from National Car Rental. We appreciated the easy transaction and picking out a car while speaking to few people. The car itself was great, too! When we arrived to the San Diego airport, we gathered our bags, headed outside baggage claim, and followed the signs to the Rental Car Center. Upon arriving there, we followed the signs past the National Car Rental area and went upstairs right to the National Car Rental kiosk, where someone checked our ID and credit card and then let us choose any vehicle in a designated area. We got a small SUV instead of an intermediate size car. The keys were in the car, and we were able to leave from there. The staff at the kiosk were very friendly and helpful. It was also easy to drop the vehicle back at the Rental Car Center after our rental was complete. We did notice that it might actually be the same price or less to have National Car Rental fill up our car by choosing that option in advance instead of us filling it up before returning the car. This particular location at the San Diego International Airport is open 24/7. It offers After Hours Returns, Drop & Go, and Emerald Aisle. You can read more about this location on the National Car Rental website at https://www.nationalcar.com/en/car-rental-locations/us/ca/san-diego-international-airport-324m.html. Also on the website, you can find deals and coupons, partner rewards programs, and solutions for businesses. You can also sign-up for e-mail specials. You can also join the Emerald Club for free, which is the general membership for their loyalty program. There are also higher tier levels for Executive and Executive Elite which you can read about on their website from how you can earn it and what benefits come with it. All in all, this was an easy rental experience, and I would consider renting from the National Car Rental in the future.

If renting a car from here and staying at the hotel, then you will be charged the daily parking fee. The pick up and drop off is on the 6th floor of the garage. The two ladies that were manning the desk on our visit were very nice and helpful. However, only one person is on duty at a time and they can get very busy with a long line and wait times. The main problem on our visit was that we booked our reservation in advance, but the company did not do proper inventory management and had no car for us at our pick up time. They had to get a car from another near by Enterprise location. We check the map and the location is about 10 min from the hotel and we were told there would be about a 15 min wait, but we had to wait with several other customers for about an hour. Including the half hour line wait, we think it took 1.5-2 hrs to get our reserved vehicle. That is probably the all time worst wait time to get a rental car since we were kids getting one with our parents. So while the location is super convenient if staying at the hotel and the personal are friendly and helpful, the understaffing and lack of inventory management at this location are deplorable. If possible would recommend getting your car from the airport or another offsite location and just pay the parking fees here that you will have to pay anyway. Only use the onsite location in the lobby if you were not planning on getting a car and needed one at the last minute like we did. And plan to potentially wait even if you have a reservation that you made in advance.

We moved to the car pick up area and the process to get the keys was way easy and there wasn't even a walk through to look for vehicle damage.

The photos were not time stamped. When we returned the vehicle there was no staff inspection and they told us to park the vehicle in a public lot. When we attempted to appeal their claims about the damage we have hit many, many roadblocks. We sent a letter and they responded noting that we had not included the rental agreement number. That number (along with the invoice number, damage claim number, and date of rental service) were clearly itemized at the very top of the letter. When we called customer service the service agent said she could not help us. She said we needed to speak to the claims department. The claims department is only open from 10am to 2pm Eastern!! This company is cheap because it is a SCAM!!! Avoid renting from them at all costs. Don't do it!

Freddy got everything ready for me, so when I got there all I had to do is sign the paperwork and head out.

When an offense repeats itself this often, it isn't misfortune. It's policy. We are the people who pay, and the consumer deserves better. We ask for little: good service, an honest price, and the dignity of knowing what we owe before it's taken from us. A line was crossed. Here is my account, one among many. I booked through Costco at a quoted price of $230. I was charged $580. Between those two numbers lies the whole story. They offered me "skip the counter" pickup, and it sounded like convenience. Somewhere in that digital process sat a checkbox for insurance, its cost concealed, its consequence buried. The counter was not the only thing skipped. So was my right to know what I was paying. The pickup was smooth. The car ran fine, though it was not the car I requested. But smooth is what a trap feels like right up until it closes. Then came the charge, over $500 in surprise, discovered on my card mid-vacation. I spent my own holiday on the phone pleading my case. The problem was acknowledged. The remedy offered was a rebate on "something," unnamed and undocumented, and I suspect I'll be the one chasing the paperwork. So let this stand as a warning to every traveler who comes after: study every checkbox before you click confirm, or prepare to be suckered as we were. They are counting on your trust. Make them earn it instead. There is no shortage of companies begging for our business. Budget and Avis will no longer have ours.

I had to wait at the main counter for over 20 minutes, where I was informed that no midsize SUVs were available. I was given a smaller vehicle (a Subaru Outback) where our luggage barely fit. The service failure was compounded on the billing side: my final itemized receipt was issued for $171.75, yet Budget retained my initial prepaid amount of $194.72 and never refunded the difference. After leaving initial low feedback, a local station manager reached out asking for details on what they could do differently. I replied with the exact timeline and billing discrepancy, followed up again, and received no response. If you are counting on Fastbreak to skip the counter or expecting Budget to automatically correct billing when they involuntarily downgrade your vehicle class, be aware that you may not get what you paid for or get a response when trying to resolve it.

Post rental inspection of the car done with cameras is not adequate to determine if there is damage…read moreto the vehicle the size of coin. The pictures do not show sufficient evidence of their being any damage. If the cameras find something that potentially is considered to be damage, Hertz then needs to have a staff member at the location inspect the car to validate there is damage. By not doing so, it's considered inconclusive. And, from a business practice standpoint, it's should be considered fraudulent. Charging a customer for damages that have not been completely validated and communicated to the customer as it will be charged to them without further inspection, and, if the customer does not pay it will be reported to collections and subject to legal fees, is absolutely not acceptable. This needs to be fixed! as a long time customer, I will never rent from Hertz again.
