They did not have a minivan that I had rented 2 weeks earlier. When I returned to Little Rock to pick up the rental at the airport late that night which my time to pick up was 11pm. The gentleman at the desk informed me they didn't have any minivans. He told me all vans were all picked up and moved to Memphis for Spring Break. I was stranded so he gave me a small SUV for the night and said to come back in the morning to see if they have anything else to put us in. The problem is we were suppose to leave out at 3am for our trip and there were 6 of in our family us going plus luggage for spring break trip. I went back the next morning and was told nothing they can do about what we reserved. That doesn't matter because it's only what is here the day and time you pick up. This was very frustrating but she did say to wait until after 8am and see what vehicles are brought up. A little while later she found 1 mini van and things looked to be solved but I wasn't the only one there waiting on one. We got it and went to pick up the family and load the van. I noticed once I was getting close to home picking up the family that it was getting hotter and hotter in the van. Turns out the AC was out and only blowing hot air. We loeded averthing up and tried to see if we could survive with the fan and windows down. We didn't make it an hour and had to turn around and temp were getting higher. I went back to airport to turn it back in and see if there is anything they could do. They said nothing else. Waited around for a while and had to make the choice to find another smaller SUV but we had to go home to take our vehicle as well to get us and our luggage to fit. The point was to rent a vehicle so we could ride together, save on gas and take one vehicle for us all to fit in. This ended up costing twice as much for the ordeal. That SUV that we did end up switching to I had to beg for that because it needed an oil change. I asked if we could wait while they get that done and was told no that they won't get to that anytime soon. I finally pleases that I will get the oil changed myself. They finally agreed and we left. Granted by the time we got on the road again from Little Rock was after 2pm. 11 hours after we were suppose to leave which made us lose an entire day of vacation at the beach with our kids. I ended up getting the oil changed and turned the paperwork and receipt in when I returned the vehicle. I was told that I would see a credit within a week or so due to it being booked through KAYAK. Still I have not received the credit return and was also charged 69.75 for Sirius XM and was told they gave me that as an add on for free. I signed it but was said it would be credited and again no credit has shown up. This is very poor experience and the 2nd bad experience we have had with Avis in the past couple months. Can any one help rectify this or do we just not use you again? Thank for your attention to this matterReviewed 18 Apr 2026

Reserved a car and five minutes before I got there, they called and said they did not have a car available. We waited about on hour.Reviewed 18 Apr 2026

This rating is for the rental car pickup in Denver. The staff was quite unconcerned about the long line of people waiting to pick up cars. They basically ignored us and concerned themselves with their computer screens. The staff numbered about 8 people but only 3-4 decided that they would wait on any customers. There were at least 25 customers in line. After waiting at least 45 minutes we finally got waited on. And then, when I finally got the car issued, it was entirely unclear what I was to do next, but I was dismissed to go outside. I was told that I was issued a “black Traverse”. After looking around and waiting in the freezing cold, I eventually found a light gray Traverse with the matching number. Needless to say I was not pleased.Reviewed 18 Apr 2026

The car was clean and in good condition. However, I spent one hour in the check out line on the heat to get the car, while the Budget representative warned us that he would only give water to people who smiled at him.Reviewed 18 Apr 2026

Got there, they had no cars, Budget lied that more cars would be coming in just a few minutes, so I should wait; no more cars were or did come. Awful experience. It was like the Seinfeld episode; they know how to take the reservation, they don't know how to fill the reservation.Reviewed 17 Apr 2026
