Winter can bring plenty of snow to the state of Alabama, and Huntsville’s roads can be dangerously slippery during these months. With proper winter tires and defensive driving, travelers should, however, face no problems with their rental car. Ensure there is also an ice scraper in the car to clear windows and mirrors after a frosty night.
Huntsville is one of the bigger cities in Alabama, and traffic congestions are regular companions of everyday driving. If you are not keen to be stuck in traffic jams, refrain from driving through the city between rush hours, which are usually in the morning between 7 and 9 am and from 5 to 8 pm in the evening.

Check in was easy and car was ready to go. Early return could have been better: a guy in the office screaming out instructions. Car was upgrade and in very good condition
The night before they were going to take my credit (chime credit not bank) . My son was stuck in Florida with his four year old. They wouldn’t rent it me, my. Ex husband went with exact same kind of card. And they rented go figure!

We were expecting a midsize vehicle, but when we arrived all they had was a minivan. I was concerned about it getting terrible gas mileage and being bigger than we needed, but it worked out alright. It was comfortable for the 2 weeks we had it and the gas wasn't as good as we would have liked, but we enjoyed the space and comfort for the amount of time we spent on the road.
Charged me an extra day even though I returned on time.

The combination of Avis and Budget led to confusion - on the pickup it was pretty clear but on the drop-off it was not very clear where and how the drop off should be done.

Great experience at the counter. The car was dirty and probably not cleaned yet. I think they were just so busy turning cars around. I with the 4 hours I had the car were cheaper. This is why I rated it the way I did.

I wasn't able to rent my vehicle due to not knowing there was a deposit that had to be paid as well. Also, the vehicle wasn't even ready when I got there.

Truck (Ram) broke down. Waited 4 hours for a tow that was never dispatched. Robot chat kept telling me to wait longer. A joke.
Made reservation 2 weeks in advance of pick up date. They called day before pickup and said they could not find a mini van and were sorry!! Not using Avis again!!
The process of checking the car back in could have gone a little smoother. I was nervous about leaving the car without at least giving the keys to someone.
