Arrived at the Akron Budget rental location and was told that the vehicle I rented was not available. Being out of town, I had Ubered there under the promise of a vehicle there (I had reserved online). When they told me they didn’t have it they offered no apology or remedy but rather said that I would have to go to the airport to get a vehicle. They had a “not my problem” mentality even though the car was reserved ahead of time. I asked if they could transport me to another location as it was the company’s fault for allowing the reservation and they said no and gave me a list of local taxi companies. Again, being stuck since I was in town on business I had to Uber again to the airport where I eventually was able to get a vehicle. Overall, it cost me two hours in time and was a terrible experience.Reviewed 1 Oct 2022

Pros:Everything went smoothly with drop-off and pick-up. No surprise fees.Cons:Wish the cost of a secondary driver wasn't so high, especially considering their having full coverage insurance. Think it was fifteen bucks or so a day, maxing out at six days.Reviewed 11 Nov 2020

Cons:They did not honor my reservation. They did not have a car for me. Instead they tried to sell me a more expensive rental and then demanded I get the $100/ day insurance that is supposed to be “optio. I walked away with no car. I had to take an Uber to Pittsburgh instead. It was the worst experience.Reviewed 7 Aug 2019

Mark at 259 West Market is inconsideratePros:NothingCons:Mark was "out of cars" and rebooked me an hour before pickup to the airport, which was inconvenient. He claimed it wouldn't cost any more. Instead, the airport had higher fees and taxes, and the person working there told me Mark regularly reschedules everyone to the airport when they have a one-way trip because he prefers round-trip rentals at his franchise location. I called Mark who refused to help me. Check-out person at the airport wasn't helpful either.Reviewed 9 Oct 2017

Pros:I was concerned about booking online but everything went very well and I would do it again. Online saved me half the cost since it significantly reduced the one way fee. The car was clean and comfortable and easy on gas. Pick up was easy and drop off was easy except the location was difficult for an out of town person.Reviewed 19 Sep 2016

Be sure to have a non debt/credit cardPros:I was turned away carless because I didn't have a credit card. The same debt card ive used every year to rent a car on my trip to Florida was not good enough. My car was in the shop and I was stranded.Reviewed 7 Apr 2016
