It wasn't really obvious from my paperwork that we had to call for the shuttle to come pick us up at the airport. The number could be more "front and centre" on the reservation paper. Luckily, someone else on our flight was renting with them and had already called the number.

Our interaction was seamless, both when picking up and dropping off. The gentlemen who helped us were wonderful and friendly. Charles and Stanley were their names ( I hope I am remembering correctly). While the wait to pick up was a bit long, Charles seemed to be training another employee while helping us, so it was understandable. Overall I am very happy. The price was great too. In a time when it’s difficult to get great service in the service industry, these young men definitely stand out. Thank you so much! Dale McCarthy

First i had to wait several minutes for a staff member to arrive at the counter to pick up my reserved vehicle. The one staff member that was working was having a bad night.. he was very cold and rude so I asked empathetically how his night was going. He responded it wasn't going well. Next, I had requested a compact and recieved a mini van. Altho thos is a nice upgrade, it's not what I asked for. I asked the clerk if he was coming out to inspect the car with me but he said he wasn't able as he had two more people waiting behind me. He said if I could see any dents, to come in and tell him. He said superficial scratches don't matter. I proceeded to the vehicle and noticed some scratches but was told not to worry about this. It was 10:00pm so was dark and dimly lit. I looked as best as I could. I should also mention, I'm 5'2" so could not see the top of the vehicle. I drove this vehicle minimally, to my dad's and back to the airport over the 3.5 days I used it. The gas fill was only $7.50 before returning it. I returned it and the lady who greeted me was very kind. I left the parking lot and went through security to my flight and was called by a Hertz staff member that there was a scratch on the bumper and a dent on the roof. I absolutely did not make these marks for certain and should have had a staff member look it over before driving away as I am too short to have seen this prior to leaving with this huge vehicle and was told not to worry about scratches. I verbally asked them to send me untouched photos, to leave the dust on the vehicle as not to touch where these so called dent and scratch were...untouched as it may prove this was there prior to me renting it if all the dust on the car was uniform. This staff member told me they would do so asap. I also emailed them with this same request. I never did recieve these photos. I was treated like a criminal as this staff member was hostile and rude telling me this was my fault. I'm not an auto specialist...this is not my area of expertise. I asked the original rude staff member to inspect with me and he refused. If these marks were indeed on this van, then this was done prior to me using this vehicle and should have been inspected by upon the return from the previous renter. I shouldn't be paying for someone else's oversight.

Everything was amazing until it came time to drop off. Don't get me wrong drop off was fairly easy except when I got to the location it was closed. I had to put the keys in the drop box, which is fine but on confirmation email or other if the location is going to be closed, in the confirmation email that should be mentioned as should the key drop. For me if that is not stated in the email then I am expecting to meet a person at a customer service counter. Other than that it was a great experience

Pros:

Opening hour, easy to get and drop from airport.

Cons:

The winter tires didn't included by default in the rent! In Canada during the winter, it's impossible. I needed to add 20$/day extra cost. So I double the amount of my rent. The car was no smoking car. But I never drive a car with an heavy smoke smelt inside like this! The next time I come back to change the car before left the parking! So keep no smoke in no smoking cars!

Pros:

No surprise fees, the car was nearby, and it worked great.

Cons:

Sometimes I wish car rental companies had small photos of all the cars in their fleet so that I wouldn't have to start googling what a certain model looked like to remind myself if given the option between different vehicles.

Booked a Tahoe online and when we went to pick up the car and was signing all the documents, noticed the price was more than 4 times the price. I showed them my confirmation but the time my just told me there must have been an issue with the booking site. There was no mention of this before I was about to sign and they would not honor the confirmed price I had so I left and went to Alamo who gave me a great deal. Thank you Alamo. Last time booking Avis

Pros:

Scheduled my pickup from the airport for 11, but they did not have a car ready ( I was 10 minutes early as my flight was ahead of schedule) I was upgraded to a B class car and loved it! May have changed my mind on wanting to purchase a jeep because I loved the Chevy Malibu so much. My first time renting a car, and was very pleased.

Cons:

I wasn't offered any kind of km deal, which is fine, but it would have been nice if there was a package since it is roughly 400 kms from Edmonton to Jasper

It was good. The pick up was fine. Car was as expected. Drop off was really quick. Price wasn’t fantastic but was reasonable. All of in all a good experience. The only negative was trying to get car play to work. The customer service person did try to help but couldn’t. We got it working the second day.

Pickup was average, drop off was quick, although the return lanes were confusing and disorganized - not enough space at the Edmonton airport facility for returns - I would hold up Houston's George Bush airport as the "gold standard" in this respect. All in all, it was a good rental experience - car was clean, in "as new" conditioning, and economical to operate.
