Pros:
Car upgrade, competitive weekend price.Cons:
To extend rental for 24 hours was quoted to cost more than the entire total for previous 3 days - no flexibility to meet customer needs despite not needing the vehicle for another reservation.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff at pick-up was super friendly.Cons:
The interior of the car could have been cleaner. The drop-off experience could have been WAY better. They might be able to update their Computer System - 1 -easy access for local locations to change drop-off if that's what the customer is requesting, and 2 - have the ability to convert currency!10.0 Wonderful

Nov 2018
Pros:
The vehicleCons:
I got there and they didn’t have the Jeep Wrangler initially and tried to talk me into another car. Ended up getting me the correct vehicle after a bunch of wasted time. Upon return they couldn’t find the vehicle or my reservation in the system. It took a ridiculous amount of time to find it and they claimed i was assigned the wrong vehicle. I had to pull up all my emails because they couldn’t find the car in the system after repeatedly asking if I was sure I was returning it to the right place. At the end they were able to make something work so I could get to my plane on time. They did apologize for the inconvenience but it was frustrating overall.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
When we booked the car for our trip we requested a Ford Focus or similar. This is a 4 door sedan. When we arrived we were given a Volkswagen Beetle. Not exactly what we were expecting or similar.8.4 Very Good
Nov 2019
Pros:
Getting to the rental agency and eventually to the vehicle was very convenient.Cons:
Agent was slightly confused about the fact that it was a one-way rental. After a long drive, the budget drop-off office had no bathrooms available, apparently, and I had to walk across four lanes of rush-hour traffic in the snow WITH LUGGAGE to use a bathroom at a coffee shop across the street! The agent there was aware of my obvious discomfort (made a comment to me about such) but didn't offer to hold my bags or allow me to use the staff bathroom even though I was a paying customer.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The orginal price was 209$ and they end up charging 349$. Also, on the site, it's state 500$ deposit, and once on site, they want 1500$ deposit.Cons:
Price is a scam. Make sure of what the customer will pay. Really a scam !6.0 Okay
Apr 2021
Pros:
I scheduled my pick up at 8:00 since I was on a tight scheduled. John was helpful showed me the vehicle and did the walk-around with me. They also dropped me off at work which was fantastic.Cons:
First off the $1500 hold is a bit excessive. The other thing is the scam with the unlimited mileage, don't advertise unlimited mileage if that is not the case knowing very well that once we have made the arrangements, the customer is at your mercy.10.0 Wonderful
Dec 2018
Pros:
Friendly, helpful staff. Great vehicle, great price, and a free shuttle to the airport.3.6 Poor
Jun 2018
Cons:
They advertised Unlimited Mileage but only had 300 kms per day. I had to argue to get more kms included which was ridiculous. Pickup was slow and drop-off as well they took their sweet time, so it was a slow process both times.National

Cons:
We received quite a larger vehicle than booked as the type of vehicle we had booked was not available so I think the vehicle should have been the correct size. Also, the vehicle had Florida license plates and being in Canada and driving, because of the travel restrictions and people’s heightened stress, we didn’t feel comfortable driving in Canada with the Florida plates under Covid.10.0 Wonderful
Apr 2019
Pros:
After streetparking my mirror had been flopped back. Sure enough-two dents in the door - I had been side swiped. I reported to insurance and Avis Ottawa who were very calm and supportive. Returning the car, an employee immediately told me that it was old damage. Honest and clear service.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
When someone rents a GPS it should have instructions with it or the operation be explained. I could not get sound out of it and old address kept coming up. It was night time rain and it seems all the City is in Construction, and the GPS does not work very dangerous.10.0 Wonderful

Jan 2019
Pros:
With the red part at the bottom of the gauge and the hash marks at various points, and the confusing symbols for "full and "empty (Yes, I know a filled circle should be full and an empty circle empty but if you don't drive all the time and as I said, the red colour at the bottom made me think that the graph would turn red as it emptied.) Then, after reading the materials, saying the car was 8/8 full, I thought maybe the rpm thing to the left, which has 8 divisions, was the gauge. The woman who was working your counter on Dec. 24 at 7 pm when I picked up my car was phenomenal. Give her a raise and hold onto her. There were 3 of us and she handled us professionally and with friendliness that's rare these days. A++ for her.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
When we arrived late Robert said.we will have a treat for you. Instead of a corolla we got to brand new cadilac for our vacation. It was a pleasure to drive and a major enjoyment to our holiday.Cons:
