Mar 2021
Pros:
staff very friendly and helpful, made the process very quick and didn't waste any time.Cons:
the only major issue was that one of the tires of the car was severely underpressurized, and I noticed this several hours into my trip - had I not taken care of it myself, the trip could have been held up by a flat or even worse an accident could have occurred.8.0 Very good

Apr 2020
Cons:
They charged me over $200 for gas, when I returned the car fully fueled. In corresponding with them they said they would refund some of the money. I haven't seen a cent!6.8 Okay
Dec 2019
Pros:
Car was clean and drop off easy.Cons:
They push the fuel option without explaining that you are charged for a full tank of gas regardless of what's in the car when you return, plus it appear that you are then charged taxes on this. Yes, the details are in the contract, but they carefully avoid explaining it. Never do that again. Also, they are less than candid about the insurance option, which probably leads most people to accept the "basic" plan not realizing that it adds dramatically to the cost. I believe that they do these things intentionally and many people end up paying much more than they anticipated. I probably won't use this company again.6.0 Okay
Nov 2019
Pros:
Loved the staff in the morning when we ultimately picked up our car!Cons:
When we arrived approximately 3 minutes before closing time, with a reservation, the desk was closed. We were forced to hire an Uber that night and again in the morning to return and get our car. Two other parties also arrived when we did.5.2 Fair
Nov 2019
Pros:
Price was ok.Cons:
Have the size of car I reserved available. Have more staff so the wait is shorter.6.8 Okay
Sep 2019
Pros:
The pick-up was horrible due to the hour and 18-minute wait. Other than that, the agent was competent & helpful, the car was fine, and the drop-off was as well.Cons:
The pick-up was horrible. One person at the desk with a dozen customers on line. (It's not as if Advantage didn't know how many reservations they had that afternoon.) I waited an hour and 18 minutes (I timed it) to be served. No more Advantage for me.6.4 Okay
Sep 2019
Cons:
I made the reservation but upon pick up, there were no cars available. They were overbooked by at least 15 cars.Hertz

Pros:
Drop off was easy.Cons:
Be ready for a wait at the pick-up counter (1-hr) and have to listen to their up-sell 20 times for each person in front of you. Car had a slow tire leak which required filling up every couple days.4.0 Mediocre
Apr 2021
Pros:
Car was fineCons:
I rented a Managers Special. I assumed, since it was a car rental, that it would be a car. I was given a choice between a pickup truck or a Ford Expedition. I had to pay to obtain a car. I feel that is false advertising.2.0 Poor
Mar 2021
Pros:
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!Cons:
Everything could have and should have e been better! We had a car supposedly reserved and got NOTHING! There was not one single car available and WE WERE STUCK AT AIRPORT CAR RENTAL!

May 2021
Pros:
New Mexico was short on rental cars during Memorial Day weekend and I was a bit nervous when we had to rent from Budget because their reviews were the lowest. However, this was my best car rental experience by far. The customer service was amazing, the facility is in close proximity to the airport, the return process was a breeze. By far, this was one of my best rental experiences.4.0 Mediocre

May 2020
Pros:
The whole operation was very understaffed but the people I dealt with, particularly a young man in ABQ, were very helpful and polite. The drop-off was the same, the lot at DEN was closed, which made me nervous about missing my flight. There was no indication anywhere that I was to go to the Avis lot for drop-off. Again, nobody to explain anything but when the woman showed up, she was polite and helpful in a difficult situation for her.6.8 Okay
Dec 2019
Pros:
Friendly counter help. Reliable vehicleCons:
I rented an SUV on line. When I got to rental place they had no SUV’s. Was given a minivan instead. Not what I had in mind for a winter weekend in the mountains.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Top tips for renting a car at Albuquerque Airport
- For a comfortable and convenient way to explore the area, consider booking a car rental at Albuquerque Airport. While the city does have some public transportation, such as the local bus, driving remains one of the easiest and quickest ways to get where you need to go. By having your own Albuquerque Airport car rental, you can stick to your own schedule and have enough room to comfortably transport cargo, such as a few suitcases.
- No matter what your preferences are, there is a model that will work perfectly for your car rental at Albuquerque Airport. If you plan on going on longer road trips throughout the region, or will be traveling with a few other individuals, you may want to reserve an SUV. Those that would like to travel on a budget can opt for an economy or standard vehicle instead. Compact models are handy when you’ll be primarily staying in the city center, as they make it easy to park and weave through narrow streets.
- To return your car rental at Albuquerque Airport, simply bring the vehicle to the designated drop-off area that is located at the rental car center. Once you start to approach the airport, you will see that there are signs leading you to the exact area where each company stores its fleet. Depending on the company that you will be renting with, you may have the option of dropping off your vehicle after regular business hours.
- Albuquerque is a popular city amongst both business travelers and tourists, so its streets will often be congested. If you don’t want to get stuck driving in traffic, you can choose to pick up and drop off your car rental outside of rush hour, which typically occurs between the hours of 7 and 9 am and 5.30 and 7.30 pm. Some of the streets in the city are known for being particularly busy, and these include roads like Interstates 25 and 40.
- Book your rental car at Albuquerque Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
