I didn’t like that the car they gave me hadn’t been fully evaluated by their staff prior to renting it to me. The “ maintenance required / bring vehicle to dealer l light came on the dashboard the day after I Picked up the car
10.0 Excellent2021 Oct 28
The negatives I have were based on the small size of the car, which I chose and the price which was a little less than other rental agencies. I had never been in a Nissan Sentra and never will be again. Rental car rates are more than double what they were before. I have to accept that, but I don’t have to accept that it represents decent value. Everything else was fine.

There will be no any optional items after the reservation Should have enough stuff members to run the business

Vehicle was ready and was the vehicle we expected and wanted. Vehicle worked well, and we traveled more than 1000 miles with no issue. Downside was long lines for pickup and very limited Alamo locations for return in the Northeast part of the US.
5.9 Okay2021 Oct 01
Really wanted and needed a car. The truck was not a real practical option, but no cars available at the time of booking, and quite expensive when we arrived.

I noticed at pick up that the wheel cover was missing. I took a pic as suggested by the attendant, if I found any issues with it. When I arrived at my destination, I was asked if I had a flat tire along the way. I told him no that the wheel cover was missing when I picked it up. He told me that I was driving with a donut. I was shocked as it didn't appear smaller than the other tires and I had driven for 4 hours and 260 miles at top speeds of 75 mph. I have no idea if there was another spare in the trunk, the flat tire, or nothing. Fortunately nothing happened, but could have been ugly and never should have been rented out in that condition.

Yes everything went well, drop off was really easy.Satellite radio would of been nice but I’m not complaining for the price of the rental.

Staff very friendly, pick up easy, convenient location, no line.Car was a bit dirtier than I had expected, coffee stains on ceiling that I didn't notice until later. Nobody in garage during pickup or dropoff, but as long as they don't charge me for someone else's mess, I'm ok with that.

Lady behind the counter was super friendly considering the Covid-19 changes in effectThis has nothing to do with the rental company, just the location... the airport has limited access, only one door is unlocked to enter, just made for a lot of extra walking
10.0 Excellent2019 Oct 02
We reserved a van from the airport but was able to pick up right at the local Williston Road Enterprise for the same price. This location was easier for us as we were able to leave our smaller car there while away. Great price! I called this location a couple of times and employees were helpful.

Pick-up and drop-off were super easy.With terrible snowy weather forecasted, it would have been helpful to have had the option to get a car with snow tires. The car did fine but some conditions were very slippery.

Please make it more challenging and time consumingThe woman at the counter spoke very good English.You must drive into a garage where there is only a small sign posted, that applies to all car rental companies, which you must stop and read, and it is on a curve where cars are blindly coming around and you must stop, block traffic, and read the four steps of 1) parking the car in the appropriate area, 2) cleaning it out, 3) writing down the mileage and 4) locking it, noting the number of your space, and returning the keys to the rental counter. What it doesn't say is 1) your parking space is far away 2) the rental counter is across the street in the main terminal downstairs on the other end 3) the escalators don't work and 4) have fun waiting in line to turn in all this information you are supposed to provide.

The rental policies were a bit unclear, and we wound up paying ~$150 more than we expected to.
7.6 Good2017 Aug 07
- Quick and easy - Good price (note there may be fees on top)- Couldn't change the pick up and drop off times to be true without changing the price and adding $200 - Returning the car was kind of confusing - Charged for fees I didn't know existed (late drop off, not driving enough miles, etc)

Thrifty seems willing to refund me the insurance if I send them proof of payment.I had already purchased insurance through carrentals.com and then was billed for it again on the rental. I asked for snowtires and was told they didn't have any. They driving at this time was very treacherous without snow tires.

Highly satisfiedThe staff were all extremely friendly, the shuttle was prompt and the car was exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price.My only suggestion would be to be more clear on how to reach the business from the airport. I had to go to another business' rental counter to ask so they could call the shuttle for me. The shuttle arrived quickly after that.

2.0 Mediocre2017 Feb 14
The car was old. The key fob did not operate properly -- I could not lock the car on several occasions. The windshield wipers were old and did not clean the windshield -- a major problem since it was snowing most of the time we had the rental. The car heater could not be adjusted properly. And worst of all, the car was unable to climb a hill leading to a ski resort one afternoon, because it lacked snow tires or four-wheel drive. In short, we hated this car and deeply resented the carelessness of the Thrifty office. One more thing, like icing on a rancid cake, they took 40 minutes to pick us up at the airport when we landed, though their office was 5 minutes away. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS.

There was no one at the desk when I arrived (they were cleaning cars). My phone was not working, so I had to ask someone from another agency to call for me. Once the agent arrived, he was very good and quite pleasant. To get to Boston from Burlington, I had no reasonable options. With routes closed, I would have had to deal with 15+ hour trips by train or bus with ridiculous routes. I can't help but think car rental agencies are taking advantage of the situation by price gouging. Plus, they do not seem to have either the ability or desire to respond to the need with more cars and agents. The side mirrors on my car could not be adjusted from inside, and the de-fogging fans were not effective resulting in a stressful and dangerous drive to Boston. The drop-off procedure was quite easy, but there needs to be more clarity about what to do. After a late-night, it was not easy for me to get the car returned by 10 am, but I did it.

Staff at pickup and drop off were very good.Location of pickup at Burlington needs improvement and more specific. Example: I was confused at pickup location because nothing specifically stated “pickup desk is inside airport”. I drove around the airport several times but could only see signs for “drop off” but nothing to tell you where to go for the paperwork to pick up your rental car.

When my flight was changed to two hours later, Budget wouldnt talk to me, said I needed to talk to Hotwire who I got my deal from. When I called them they said nothing they could do? They said budget would give away my car? I took a chance and got there late, but my car was there. SHEW! I will always reserve directly from the rental car company from now on, even if it costs a little more.

The pick-up was great. The vehicle itself was very clean, fairly comfortable and all-in-all did the job! The drop off was the issue, as there was no Budget person to great or help us. We did not know that we simply had to park in any one of the Budget spaces and then go up to the Rental counter to drop off the key. Other wise, very good.

They were out of my reserved vehicle class despite extra efforts on my part to ensure that my rental would be available and Budget would be open. I was then overcharged for a lesser class of vehicle that Budget somehow considered in the same class as what I reserved, despite clearly not being an SUV or higher end car.

For older and physically impaired users, better description of the size, leg room, comfort and entry and exits are needed. We may not know the car name and type. To us mid-sized means a roomy sedan not a compact car. Our expectations include an odometer, easy adjustment of the steering wheel and seats. This car was like driving a roller skate. We hit our heads getting in the car, banged our knees on the dashboard and I struggled to get out of the car. Also, personnel need to offer to show the car features and explain them. We didn’t know how to remove the ignition key!

Top tips for renting a car at Burlington Airport

  • A rental vehicle in Burlington, VT allows you to experience the city like a local. The downtown area is located a relatively shorter distance from the flight hub. While you might consider boarding a bus or taxi, these only take you to a specific terminus, with a few stops along the way. By partnering with a car rental at Burlington Airport (BTV), you get a vehicle that you can drive to any destination you like, attend meetings in style with a classy ride, and even go off-roading with an AWD without worry of getting stuck.
  • Driving in Burlington is relatively easy, although it's critical to understand the traffic rules before driving around. While a continuous double yellow line in the middle of the road indicates "No Overtaking" in other countries, you are allowed to overtake unless there's a road sign indicating a "No Passing Zone". Additionally, a right-hand turn is permissible on a red light unless there's a sign telling you otherwise. If you choose to use Williston Rd 2 heading toward the city center, you can expect heavy traffic on Main St, especially during the rush hour.
  • Once your rental contract is over, your Burlington Airport car rental will require you to return the car within the specified time. It's easy because you return it to the exact location you pick it up. When you reach the airport, you'll see "Rental Car Return" signs leading to your rental company's designated parking lot. Is your flight scheduled to take off outside the vehicle rental operating hours? You can still return the car during the after-hours. Park the vehicles and secure the locks, drop the keys in the key safe, and you'll be ready to head to your departure terminal.
  • Saving money with a car rental at Burlington Airport can be tricky, considering that onsite rental companies usually include a "premium location surcharge," tax fees, and other extra costs for various things such as GPS mapping and electronic toll devices. One secret of cutting down your on-airport vehicle rental costs is to purchase your rental company's auto insurance. Not only does it reduce your liability significantly, but it also alleviates the need to pay for the additional costs.
  • Book your rental car at Burlington Airport at least 7 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
