4.0 Mediocre
Car had dirty and smeared windshield on the inside, requiring me to clean it myself in order to have a clear view……… Interior had muddy sill plates, getting onto my pant legs quite easily…… Rear cargo area was not adequately vacuumed, and generally the car was sloppy….. Wiper fluid warning light came on, indicating it was not fully topped off….. Desk agents were stone faced and grumpy. They were clearly in the wrong public facing roles.

8.0 Very Good
First time renting with Budget. The Tacoma location of Budget/Avis has good staff, they were very helpful with any questions or concerns I had. I rented the car for 7 days, and added 1 extra day that was $75 because of daily rate plus the Insurance that covers total loss/theft/vandalism etc. I used my debit card and they placed a $200 hold. In closing it was good. I would definitely rent a car with the Tacoma Budget/Avis location again.

Super smooth. I was even offered a free upgrade.

The drop off was very fast. No time wasted if you are in a hurry for your flight. The prices are the cheapest for renting a car. The line may be a little long for renting, but it’s worth the money saved. Fast track is the fastest way to go!

Location was great. I didn't like the choice I had for a car. Only had a hybrid for our reservation. Didn't want a hybrid. Hybrids drive like an electric car. Dramatic deceleration with hybrids and this makes my wife carsick. Was hoping for another choice but none available.
