8.0 Excellent8 May 2021
Pros: pickup was easy, office staff were very nice. good covid precautions. the car worked fine & was clean.Cons: drop-off staff in the garage were rude and standoffish, didn't help me get where i needed to go and was condescending to me for parking in the wrong spot when it's not clearly marked at all and the guy who was supposed to direct me didn't, even slightly. also wasn't wearing a mask properly.
8.0 Excellent16 Apr 2021
Cons: I arrived at noon for a pick up. I didn’t receive the car until 1:30. I was made to stand in the rain and wait for an hour and a half, while 5 guests got cars before me. All of my work clothes and cellphone charger got completely soaked. Very disappointed.

8.0 Excellent31 Aug 2020
Pros: The car was great and super clean. The gentleman who helped check us in was really friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, when we checked in he was the only person working and thus there was quite a long wait for us to check in but as soon as he got to us he was really efficient.Cons: We called to extend the car by a few hours and when we went to return the shop was closed with no drop box or instructions of what do to. I was able to get in touch with someone who was very helpful and told me to return in the morning. When I returned the following morning there was a massive line of cars to the point that we were all pulled up in the street, blocking traffic. A helpful passerby helped to direct traffic to clear the obstruction from the road, as no one from either rental agency was addressing it. Eventually and gentleman came out and told me to simply leave the car and they would deal with it. I did so, but there was no formal hand off or drop-off process.
8.8 Excellent16 Aug 2020
Pros: Staff was friendly. Drop-off was very easy!Cons: There was a long wait for pickup. I was not clear about the EZ-Pass, and still unsure how to pay the tolls.
10.0 Excellent21 Jul 2020
Pros: Very easy check out and check in
7.6 Good18 Jul 2020
Pros: The staff was very nice and got me a car that was clean and comfortable. They explained what was included and what was additional with patience and clarity. They were also very friendly.Cons: The car's oil change indicator was triggered when I picked up the car. The car's tank was also only filled halfway upon pickup. I expected the tank to be full when I picked up the car, so that was very disappointing.
9.2 Excellent14 Jul 2020
Pros: The staff in BK was incredible, the car was excellent (and larger than what I thought I paid for, which was really helpful)Cons: When I arrived there was an issue with the scanner; my name didn't pop up when I returned the car, and as a result I had to wait around while they figured it out, but no one ever explained the issue to me.
6.8 Good16 Jun 2020
Pros: The reservation said we didnt need the credit card present, but when we arrived they said we needed it. Ended up spending hours trying to find an alternate solution and we were extremely late arriving at our destination. This is not a complaint against the workers, just against the confusing policy.Cons: Let us reserve with debit cards or photos of the credit card, especially if you’re gonna say we dont need the card present
8.4 Excellent7 Jun 2020
Pros: Front desk was friendly.Cons: I found the previous renter's paperwork in the front with a random receipt. It makes me wonder how well they sanitized the front car if they left those items. Just in case, I wiped it down myself for my own comfort.
9.2 Excellent4 Jun 2020
Pros: Staff was great.Cons: I could have used a delivery service.

8.0 Excellent30 Sep 2020
Pros: Location was easy to get to in Brooklyn and the weekly rates were very affordable.Cons: The type of car I reserved was unavailable and I had to wait for a different (and larger car) to be ready. It would be nice if they had more inventory of smaller vehicles.

10.0 Excellent18 Jun 2020
Pros: The staff was fast, efficient and very friendly. The entire pickup took 5 minutes and drop off took 3 minutes. They were great.Cons: It would have been nice if there was an after hours drop off possibility since the site closes at 5pm but I understand that’s difficult at this time. In the end we made it back 5 minutes before 5pm, thankfully.

Pros: Great staff and manager. Quick pick up and drop off procedure.
10.0 Excellent4 Jun 2020
Pros: Staff were very friendly at both locations, and efficient.Cons: I had a Chevy Equinox, drove it entirely normally (no speeding), but an hour into my journey I received a message that said 'engine power reduced' with no explanation. That's a car manufacturer issue, not Enterprise's, but it only had 3,000 miles on it, so it was alarming.

Cons: The car smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I was in a hurry, and the attendant walked away after giving me the keys, so I didn't have time to find someone to see if I could exchange the car. However, the smell was so strong we had to drive with the windows down the entire 4 hour trip.

6.0 Good17 Aug 2020
Pros: The car was clean and fine, the process of booking was relatively smooth.Cons: At pick-up, the woman behind the Avis counter told me she had 4 mini vans left in her fleet so i had no choice but to go with a mini van, even though I had specifically reserved a small car. After the agents brought my car from the garage, i noticed that the couple behind me got a large SUV. How was it possible they chose an SUV if all was left were minivans?? When the woman walked by as I was adjusting my seat, I asked her why this happened. She sort of stammered and said there were 3 mini vans left, and one large SUV. When I reminded her that she told me there were only 4 minivans left and that i specifically had no other choice, she stammered again that someone had specifically reserved a large SUV. This made no sense though, since I also reserved a car other than a minivan. I think I was justified in being irritated by this -- she had in essence lied to me about what was available. Another issue I encountered -- when signing up for the car, the woman told me that the vehicle had Bluetooth capabilities. When I got the car, there clearly was no bluetooth capability, and if there was, i wasn't able to locate it on the console even with her help. These issues combined really soured the start to my trip. I think it was wrong and discriminatory of the woman to decide that the couple behind me should somehow get an SUV after she misrepresented the facts to me so explicitly just a minute before. I appreciate if Kayak could pass this along to Avis.

2.0 Mediocre20 Apr 2021
Pros: They charged me the wrong price (over $600 more). They told me they'd fix this but still have not. The display was broken (kept restarting), including the backup camera, which is a safety issue. And then the battery died. They couldn't get a towing truck there for 4 hours. And refused to book me a Lyft to the airport. I had to pay out of pocket, and we'll see if they refund me that price, or if I have to do it through my credit card company. Literally went wrong every step of the way, and they handled it terribly every step of the way.Cons: Everything
4.0 Okay2 Apr 2021
Pros: Eventually I got a car. It ran fine.Cons: Counter staff tried to up-sell me on everything. Initially, he told me that there were no cars like what I reserved. (I reserved a compact) tried to get me to take a pickup truck or sports car for significantly more money. told me that the extra insurance I purchased wasn't worth anything and that I should buy their extra insurance on top of that. He finally "found" a car (larger than the one I wanted) and told me the wrong floor of the garage to go and get it. This all added 20-30 minutes to the pickup process. Inspecting the car was difficult because the garage was too dark to see anything. After leaving, I noticed a dent on the roof, dirty seats, and a slight smell like someone had been smoking in the car but then it was covered up with an air freshener. Also, their tolls policy is written strangely, possibly to convince you to opt into their overpriced unlimited tolls service.
10.0 Excellent5 Feb 2021
Pros: Staff very helpful.Cons: Not many people working, so line moved slowly. But it's a pandemic. That was probably just a safety precaution, which is appreciated.
10.0 Excellent31 Jan 2021
Pros: Staff was friendly and helpfulCons: Car windshield whipper fluid wouldn’t work and I was driving on salted roads.
4.0 Okay29 Dec 2020
Pros: The car itself was fine, I had no problems with it.Cons: I had been isolating for two weeks before traveling to see my father, who's over 65 and has asthma. I had called to learn about the rental process in advance, and was told I'd only have to come inside the office to sign the paperwork, so I thought that was safe. My rental was at 7am, so I'd be one of the first people in the office in the morning. However, when I arrived, there was someone else in the office (I'm not sure if it was someone who had just returned a car, or maybe a manager or someone working in the hotel) having a long and very loud chat with the rental agent, both unmasked, for at least 10 minutes. The rental office is very small and didn't look like it had any air circulation, so I decided that I would hold the door open when I went in, because being in a small, enclosed space where someone else had been laughing and talking loudly, unmasked, for the previous 10-15 minutes, did not feel very safe to me. However, the rental agent asked me not to hold the door open; after I explained my concern, he said I could wait outside the office while he took care of the paperwork, which I was grateful for. However, when he called me inside again to give back my driver's license, he started telling me about how I shouldn't be worried about covid, and kept telling me that for the next 5 minutes as he finished processing the rental. I ended up being inside that office with the door closed for about 5 minutes - not a lot of time, but it didn't feel safe to me given the long and loud unmasked conversation I had just witnessed, and how the agent kept telling me not to be worried about covid. I now have to wait to get tested and potentially isolate from my family, because we aren't comfortable with the risk of exposure from that interaction. I understand not being worried about covid oneself, but I'm frustrated by that rental agent's lack of regard for my boundaries and concerns.
4.0 Okay14 Dec 2020
Pros: Staff was cordial, car was clean.Cons: I had to wait 90 minutes for a car to arrive despite having a reservation. I understand that when demand is high cars are hard to come by, but is it not possible to alert/text people with reservations to this so they don't show up on time and then have to stand in the cold for indefinite periods of time? Given the pandemic, many nearby businesses are closed and it may be uncomfortable/dangerous to wait inside a nearby coffeeshop or store. I also found drop off extremely confusing - the Budget entrance at BWI was closed, and the sign directing cars to AVIS on a piece of computer paper was only visible/ readable if you got out of the car and walked up to it.
6.4 Good9 Nov 2020
Pros: ICons: I got to to the car rental line and I had to wait over an hour with to pick up my car: I rented numerous cars with much larger lines and never had to wait like this. I feel like the staff didn’t care and they don’t value the customers time.
4.0 Okay23 Aug 2020
Cons: Waited 2 hours in line In a dirty garage to pick up our car. On the way pack after dropping off car had to wait again in line to hand in parking ticket instead of just leaving with the parking attendant.
3.6 Mediocre9 Aug 2020
Pros: Car was freshly cleaned.Cons: Waited in line to pick up for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Was further delayed by an additional 30 minutes when the staff locked the keys in the vehicle and had to jimmy the lock open with a slim-jim.
7.2 Good13 Jul 2020
Pros: Clean & reliable car, easy drop-off process.Cons: A long line at opening, makes sense. The issue is not with the employees being slow, it is the many hoops they have to jump through to take care of one customer. So much data entering, paper to print and staple, etc etc. We got at the branch at 705am and were sitting in our car at 745am. Maybe have the customer pre-enter most of the data themselves in advance?

Then when i went to return their customer service said that i could return by 6pm over the phone. then when i arrived they were closed so i had to return in the morning and i hope they do not charge me for it..
10.0 Excellent30 Nov 2020
Pros: Easy pickup, great rateCons: ability to leave rental if office closed in the parking area. Narrows options of using when returning after 12, or 4 on weekdays. Also, noone there when we went to return 10am on a Monday. Had to just leave car.
6.0 Good26 Nov 2020
Pros: Drop off was easyCons: They didn't have any compact SUVs which I had reserved, so I had to get a smaller car
2.0 Mediocre18 Nov 2020
Cons: They should have other options instead of just being able to use a credit card to hold a deposit wasn't able to do much even after I called my bank .. got stuck with my reservation having to be canceled and my money not being refunded
2.0 Mediocre14 Nov 2020
Cons: No one was there at all. I waited for almost two hours. No one was there to help. I called Thrifty on the phone, no answer. I called Thrifty's 1-800 number and they were of no help saying they couldn't do anything because they had no direct contact to the local offices. I eventually rented a car at a completely different car rental agency (which I had to take a taxi to so it cost me extra). Absolutely terrible experience and Thrifty was no help at all. There was another guy there that was trying to do the same and he was bewildered and also spend lots of time on the phone trying to figure out why on earth they had no one there to help or get us our cars.
10.0 Excellent11 Nov 2020
Pros: This was my second time renting from this location and I can't praise it highly enough - the pickup and dropoff process are always so quick, and the staff member is SO nice. I was worried about getting back too late as I got stuck behind a garbage truck on a narrow block for 45 minutes on my way to return the car, but they were very understanding.Cons: It would be great to have a local number at the location to contact in case of any issues. I was trying to find one so that I could give them a heads up when I was running late, but could only find the general 877 number for Thrifty.
3.2 Mediocre31 Oct 2020
Cons: When I went to pick the car up, I was told that thrifty was no longer at that location, and I need to walk a few blocks away to another location. I never received any heads up about this.
8.0 Excellent15 Oct 2020
Pros: The car was easy to operate. The car had adequate leg room.Cons: I have no complaints. The experience was very good.

Cons: This was a beautiful car, the customer service was great and everything was accommodating. My only complaint was that the price is high. I suppose it is competitive but it is a lot of money. If they lowered the price, I would be more likely to rent frequently.

2.0 Mediocre11 Jan 2021
Pros: NothingCons: I had a sketchy feeling about booking this through Kayak (it was way cheaper than other providers in the same area) so I called ACE Rent a Car directly and they told me that this location is completely out of business... thank God I called before I showed up there. I don't think I would ever book a car rental through a service like Kayak again if they aren't aware of what locations are out of business ... I ended up booking directly with a different rental company so I didn't have to worry

Top tips for hiring a car in Brooklyn
- Looking to pick up a hire car for your time in Brooklyn? If you are landing at JFK International Airport, the hire car counters are on the Arrivals level in each terminal. At LaGuardia Airport, shuttles are available in front of Terminal A to take passengers to the hire car center. As for Newark Airport, travelers will find hire car counters at Stations P2 and P3 on the AirTrain.
- Nothing screams New York like rush hour. And while Brooklyn may not experience as severe of traffic as Manhattan, it still retains a spot on the list of worst rush hours. In general, morning rush hour goes from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., while the evening rush hour picks up around 4:00 p.m. and lasts till 7:00 p.m. Drivers should note that the roads neighboring the Brooklyn Bridge are, in particular, some of the worst areas affected by rush hour traffic.
- Brooklyn is one of the most populated areas in New York and it is especially popular for younger demographics. As a consequence of this, biking is a very prominent mode of transportation in the borough. Drivers should make sure that they keep their eyes open for any bikers on the road, particularly when parking and opening their doors.
- Love to visit obscure and off-the-beaten-path spots and locales? The best way to get to spots like that in Brooklyn is undoubtedly with a car. For instance, Red Hook, Canarsie Park, and Manhattan Beach are just some of the areas in Brooklyn that are easily reached by car but can be a laborious process to get to otherwise.
- Book your rental car in Brooklyn at least 5 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Compact cars are the best choice for most vacationers visiting Brooklyn, particularly if you plan on exploring the roads yourself. One-way streets and narrow alleys are typical in Brooklyn and are difficult to navigate in a large vehicle. Streetside parking is also very difficult to find in the most popular parts of Brooklyn, so it pays to have a smaller vehicle that can fit in any spot available.
For the most part, the speed limit in Brooklyn is 25 mph, as that is the baseline speed limit in all of NYC unless signage says otherwise. However, drivers will see the occasional speed limits of 35, 45, and 50 mph depending on the size of the road. In the densest areas, the speed limit will occasionally be 20 mph.
Drivers can expect to pay around $2.60 per gallon of petrol in Brooklyn. This is a fairly moderate price and is neither as cheap as Texas, where drivers will see an average price of $2 per gallon in cities like Houston and San Antonio, nor as expensive as San Diego, where prices are around $3.20 per gallon.
Parking in Brooklyn, while not as expensive as it is in neighboring Manhattan, can cost a pretty penny and at times can be difficult to find. In general, it pays to stick to garage parking, as that is the most readily available option in Brooklyn. Streetside parallel parking is also available, but at variable rates, and it is largely dependent on the popularity of the immediate area. On a positive note, though, streetside parking is almost always free for everybody unless specific signage says otherwise or meters are present.
