If I could give zero stars

If I could give zero stars, trust me, I would this car company is probably one of the worst companies in America comes to service. They have no etiquette when it comes to business and taking care of customers they lie and try to blame customers for their deficiency, I rented the car to show up at the place just for the card not to be available in the associate. Try to blame me because I was late even though I was at the location before closed I called customer service to come to find out that she had lied to 24 hours to pick up your car not supposed to find a car and I’ll just tell you sorry you’re on a clock. That’s what this associate did then proceeded to call customer service And get an explanation why I did not have a car come to find out they did not have cars at that location for the entire day and the associate lied to me at the station they escalated my case to supposedly a regional manager to help me out and I never received a single call from any manager or any person Place companies like this eventually go out of business because they forget the customers are really what they fix their competency in terms of dealing with the public. I’ve only had one other customer service interaction that was worse than this, and that was with American Airlines where they lie to their customers to cover their ass like national car rental buyer beware looking through your history. It looks like they do not give a shit about their customers.

I placed an online booking through our…

I placed an online booking through our corporate account on Thursday, 10th July. To my disappointment, I didn’t receive any communication until Saturday morning—only to be told that the vehicle I booked wasn’t available. This last-minute notice was frustrating enough, but what followed was completely unacceptable. The staff member who contacted me, claiming to be the manager, was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout the call. She spoke over me repeatedly, wouldn’t allow me to explain my situation, and her tone was downright abusive. As a regular customer who has rented from various Enterprise branches for years, I was shocked by this behaviour. If this is the standard of customer service from someone in a managerial position, it raises serious questions about the training and leadership at this branch. A manager should be setting the tone for professionalism—not contributing to a toxic experience. Needless to say, I will be avoiding this branch in future. I highly recommend others do the same until clear improvements are made in customer service and communication.

Arnaque véhicule loué à Édimbourg pour…

Arnaque ,véhicule loué à Édimbourg pour 5 jours. Aucun souci pendant le séjour ni restitution (clés déposée dans une boîte aux lettres). Et , 15 jours après notre retour, on nous réclame 500£ pour une 1/2 coque de clé manquante. Clé qui nous a été remise en main propre dans cet état, 1/2 coque manquante et scotchée, mais que nous n’avions pas malheureusement pas signalé. Cela ne gênait pas le fonctionnement du véhicule et le loueur ne pouvait pas l’ignorer car la clé avait était “temporairement” réparée par ses soins avant nous l’être confiée. Désormais, ils nous signalent que le véhicule a été immobilisé pendant 5 jours à cause de cette 1/2 coque manquante et appliquent des frais de dossier et de réparation exorbitants. C’est notre bonne foi contre celle du loueur. Nous sommes loin, difficile de s’expliquer et la restitution s’est faite dans une boîte aux lettres. Nous sommes piégés par un système qui défend le loueur mais pas le locataire, avec des mises en demeure inadmissible pour une 1/2 coque de clé en plastique comme si nous étions des délinquants. Aucune possibilité de discuter sauf peut être maintenant en portant plainte pour abus avec notre assistance juridique. Donc il est indispensable de noter tout défaut même minime lors de la réception d’un véhicule. Les assurances des CB ne prennent pas en charge les dommages aux clés. Donc aucun recours possible. Encore un exemple des arnaques rencontrées avec des agences de location de véhicules.

Beware National Roadside Assistance. Pay for the roadside when you rent

The branch employees themselves, outstanding. National's Roadside assistance is awful. The big slogan is your safety is our priority yet they made me put a donut on the rental jacking up my back and having me drive through East Saint Louis on Hwy 70 going 40 mph with the hazard lights on. No one in E St Louis cares if you have an issue. Better get out of the way. Probably the most harrowing experience of my life. One of the 5 people I spoke to in Roadside even hung up on me because I told him I was not pulling over on that hwy and calling the police.

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service. When I went to return my car at 630pm, no one was at the facility, and the entrance to get in the lot was blocked by another car. They are now trying to charge me $700. Horrible customer service, I have never experienced anything like this.

National are ignoring Customers' Complains

I am wondering if that is how you treat all customers ' complain – ignoring them until they will forget you… otherwise, I don’t understand how after so many emails, phone calls and 4 months of waiting I am still waiting for your management to return to me. I rented from National which almost killed not only me but my entire family... are you sure you want to rent from that company? Be careful!!!

Location à l aéroport de Phuket

Location à l aéroport de Phuket. Très bon accueil quand on prend véhicule, mais quand on rend la voiture on ne voit que la personne pour état du véhicule. Signature papier et plus rien. On ne vous parle pas de la caution à vous de vous débrouiller. Voilà 18 jours que nous sommes rentrés en France et toujours pas de caution rendu. Au fait tel on vous dit 14 jours. Puis on vous le viré demain. 400 € toujours pas rendu et au téléphone on vous dit à chaque fois c est payé aujourd'hui. Je pense que je vais avoir du mal à la récupérer

Pessima esperienza!!

Pessima esperienza!!! Statene alla larga! Ho prenotato un 4x4 e mi hanno dato un due ruote motrici... ho pagato x 10gg e mi hanno lasciato l auto per 7.... infine ciliegina sulla torta mi hanno fatto magare la pulizia dell'auto.

Wish I could give it zero stars

Wish I could give it zero stars. Worker neglected to mention that the mileage cap was drastically low. Due to the short distance we traveled we assumed we'd fine, but got absolutely blindsided by the bill. A two day rental ended up costing a fortune. National is a terrible car rental service company. Would not recommend.

Im disapointed I have to give 1 star 0 would be more appropriate. The Office in Jasper Alberta Canada. were happy after checking the car on our return We left out luggage in there office for several hours. Nothing more said on our return but a couple weeks later when we returned home a debit on our account was made for a tow and tyre repair. Not us and even after 5 emails to there customer care department and one to the branch owner. No explanation has been offered to us infact no reply to us at all from the Jasper Branch of National Car Rentals. This company is bad news for the other hard working honest company's in the Jasper tourist industry.

Disgusting customer service

If they had Zero stars would give that. The customer service with Stan and his Supervisor at Boston Airport on 2nd August 2019 was the worst I have come across. I had booked a SUV through Rentalcars.com for pick up at Boston Airport and drop off at Buffalo Airport on 9th August for $578. When I get to the pick up Stan and his supervisor tell me that this price is not for American citizens and I have to pay $527 more as I am dropping at another location.?This was not informed to me when doing the booking and the Supervisor was very rude and I did not pick up the car and booked another one from Hertz at the adjoining counter. Now American cannot do my charge back as the merchant is saying I did a No Show where as I did pick up a car from Hertz right there. These guys are thieves as now I am stuck between Priceline, Rentalcars and National for my refund as the rude Supervisor did not give me any cancellation paper and walked away. Being 1.00 am I just left and now trying to get my $578 back Never will book with them
