The Day You Rent Away…read more I almost can't believe I'm writing a five-star review for a car rental place, and yet here I am. We did technically have our rental thru Alamo® but there was no one at their desk (it was Christmas day), so we were sent here to their sister company at Enterprise® to complete the transaction. The Good: *Booked thru Costco for an eight-day rental for a small SUV for less than $100/day--including taxes and fees. *The lady working the desk, Yvonne, was outstanding; friendly, fast, efficient, and didn't go too hard on the insurance upsell. *Once we were done, we were sent to the lot where a friendly gentleman named Miguel *ACTUALLY WALKED US TO OUR CAR*!! Lord, in heaven, I got a case of the vapors and thought I was going to pass out. These places usually just turn you loose in a sea of vehicles and say, "Good luck and don't let the door hit ya where the dog should've bit ya." I'm looking at you, Baltimore... =T The Meh: *They didn't have any small SUVs left (I felt that Seinfeld bit about taking but not keeping the reservation creep into my head), but fortunately, Miguel hooked us up with a Toyota® RAV4™ upgrade for free. The Ugly: *The car exterior was a bit dirty, and a few of the windows were downright filthy. I'm not sure if this car had just been returned and they hadn't had time to clean it yet or what? Regardless, it's not really a big deal. TLDR: I still can't believe I'm giving 5* to a car rental place, but they definitely deserve it. To quote Kramer: It's a Festivus Miracle!

(Week of ballon fiesta, of course they had lots of rentals!) As I wanted something with good gas mileage, I went with the Hyundai Elantra.

Shuttle convenient and often to/from the airport.

After the terrible customer service we received and a month-long battle of why we were overcharged…read more$700 for a car we fully prepaid for, I can no longer recommend Hertz to anyone. We have had great experiences in the past in CA, NV, NY, MA, GA, OR, and WA, but we had a terrible one in NM. We had prepaid in full for our vehicle weeks before arriving in NM. When we got in, we did not see our name on the board to show where our car was parked, so we went inside to inquire at the counter. The man at the counter accused us of "being late" and directed us to a spot number where our pre-paid SUV supposedly was parked. Little did we know the man took it upon himself to direct us to a car that cost $100 extra PER DAY. To our surprise, when we dropped the car off, we were charged an extra $700 plus tax. When I asked why, the gentleman taking our car in said we had an upgraded vehicle. I don't know anything about cars, but our SUV was just regular to me. I mean, the passenger seat was broken, so it could not recline or scoot up or back, and I did not think it was anything special. Turns out it was so special, it was $100 extra per day. We battled with Hertz for months trying to figure out how we were upgraded at such a huge cost without being notified or our approval, and they had no answer. The customer service reps we spoke to told us that we should have realized our vehicle was an upgraded one, and we would not receive a refund. We will never rent from Hertz ever again.

The problems are actually caused by national management, not only with these mergers, but by…read moreoffering such low prices and dealing in volume, while not putting nearly as much money as they should to staffing. You can't call for a stampede of customers, and not be ready to serve them with only 2 clerks at the front desk. The result is a 90 minute wait for a car. Fortunately, they have the cars, however, by the time people get them, they are fuming. And I have to ask: Who in this day and age uses a dot matrix printer? That part alone just screams that national management really doesn't care. If they're going for volume they have to invest in standalone tablets so people can check themselves in, and choose their car and coverages, in addition to having the clerks. As far as their Perks club, the app doesn't work in the car rental terminal. Also, the app itself doesn't allow you to cancel without talking to someone on the phone at the national service center. Overall, everyone at the ABQ Payless Car Rental, and online has been nice. But it's offset by this untenable situation that the national corporate management has set in terms of staffing.

Absolutely Awful Experience - DO NOT RENT FROM PAYLESS I had…read morea terrible experience with Payless Car Rental In Albuquerque and would strongly advise others to avoid them at all costs. I was returning a rental to the airport and, due to a freeway accident, was running tight on time. I pulled up and asked the check-in staff how much it would cost for them to fill the gas tank. He told me he didn't know and said I should go inside to ask. Inside, I was met by an incredibly rude agent who told me it was $10 per gallon--which is outrageously overpriced. I immediately told them I'd prefer to fill the tank myself, as I was being told the charge only after already arriving. But they refused to allow it. They claimed the car had already been "checked in" and wouldn't give me the keys back, even though I had just walked inside. To make matters worse, the tank was almost half full when I returned it (it's a RAV4 with a 14.5 gallon tank), but they charged me $107 to top it off. That math doesn't even come close to adding up, and it felt completely predatory. It felt like a total scam. There was zero transparency, no customer service, and absolutely no flexibility. I got overcharged for gas in a way that felt dishonest and predatory. I will never rent from Payless again--and I recommend others don't either. There are plenty of rental companies that won't treat you like this.

Would they credit me a day for the inconvenience? No money of that. I waited and waited until my name was called which was an eternity. Got my vehicle after 2 in a half hours. The gal with pretty blue eyes had to bear the heat and handle it well.

I sent her proof that I was clearly overcharged and her response to me was that the extra $12 was "tax." First, what? $12 tax on $46? Also, why wasn't the tax included in the charge? Will never do business with this disreputable company again. Also, their cars suck. The car I was in had the most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat in. Will go Hertz or another more reputable company going forward. Save myself the headache and the clown show.

After the fact, I noticed in our paperwork that Sixt acknowleged that there were already 6 very minor issues with the car, most of them were scratches around 2" in length. One was a dent that was less than half an inch. I assume they are going after all these people too. Keep in mind that this is a Rav 4, not some high end car. They have lost a customer for life.
