Vehicle is new, very comfortable, ran fantastic. Very easy to rent a car at this airport and to return it. The you g lady who took me to my van was awesome!

The guy working at the desk is unfriendly and didn’t seem to enjoy his job working with people. Second time I’ve had the same experience with someone working at this counter at this airport. When I pulled a van around to pick up my family at baggage claim we realized someone had not put the flooring back correctly and it was difficult for them to quickly get in because they were two huge holes when you open the side van doors. We had to find a good spot once we left the airport where we could get out and put the flooring back the way it was supposed to be. I cannot imagine how difficult this would have been if I were picking up children instead of Teenagers. The seats fold down into the floor and someone had apparently pulled the seats back up where they belong but never bothered to put the flooring back right when they were cleaning it.

Everything was great except for the underlying smell of cigarettes that appeared an hour into the ride. As a non-smoker, I had to wash everything I had in the car before I could put it away. The car was comfortable.

I reserved a car at 4:30 p.m, for pickup at 5:00 p.m. I was called at 4:50 p.m. to let me know that there were no cars available. Why does your system allow you to book a reservation when there are no cars available? Unacceptable.

It was very difficult to find the Budget location. It would be so simple to add the directions to the confirmation and pickup information. The help center was no help and calling the actual pickup sight didn't work because they didn't answer up the phone and so the "help center" answered each time. That was incredibly frustrating and added an hour to my van rental pickup.

The customer service people were very nice and helpful, but I wasn't able to get the vehicle that I needed and one of the vehicles given to me needed an oil change so I had to go back inside and get a different vehicle.

My experience was excellent until I needed customer service after I got home and realized I left my glasses in the car. The pickup was awesome, the agent was excellent in getting us a car - can’t say enough good about him. And drop off was a breeze. However, I forgot my prescription sunglasses in the car after I got home. I immediately tried to call AVIS to see if they could help. No one was available Sunday night, so I called Monday morning and when I selected “lost and found” I received an error saying they couldn’t connect me and try later. I tried several times Monday into Tuesday morning with the same results. So I called a different number and they gave me the local Concord, NC number and I got through. The lady was very helpful and said she would call me back but as of 9:45pm Tuesday night I haven’t heard from her. I certainly hope my glasses can be recovered for me.

We had a booked reservation. When we arrived and the Avis rental counter to pick up our vehicle we were told to sign a log in sheet and that it would be 2+ hours. They didn't have any rental cars available even though we had a reserved vehicle. Had to cancel and Uber. Counter employees were not helpful.
