Unfortunately when we received the car we were told that it had a full tank. Since I was unfamiliar with the type of car, I didn’t know how to read the gas gage, so I took their word for it. That said, at some point within 30 mins a warring came up suggesting that we had about 5 miles till empty. To my surprise the tank was indeed empty. So I filled it up and upon return expressed my concern. Their response was we will take care of that for you and paid for the full tank. There wasn’t any more to discuss. I thanked them and went on my way.

My flight was delayed. I called Enterprise and they said they’d stay until 2 am. I asked if that was customary and was told yes. The airport shuttle never came so I took a lift since enterprise said they’d be there, when I arrived they were closed and I had to wait 2 1/2 hours for them to open at 4. It’s was 23 degrees! The agent was ok, but not nearly apologetic. Your 800/customer service gave out faulty information which put me on an unsafe situation.

Nothing was great about this experience we couldn’t even get our rental because we needed a credit card to put on hold and didn’t have that much on a credit card only on a debit card and was told they couldn’t run that as a credit so had to find another way for our Florida vacation trip I was very dissatisfied
1.9 Horrible2021 Jul 26
The rate was not the same as that was quoted on Kayak. They charged me $94/day and there is no way that I would have chosen such an expensive car when $55/day cars were available. Pickup and drop of were easy but the car was supposedly non-smoking but you could clearly smell the cigarette smoke. Almost $500 dollars for four days of riding around in cigarette smoke.

I have been going to St Louis every year for 12 years. This year I tried Dollar and was NOT disappointed. From the shuttle driver (once I found it) to the front desk workers it was nice and smooth. They were willing to swap a vehicle (in the same class) when asked for preference reasons. Thank you Dollar!

Great customer service. The pickup spot from the airport was tricky to locate but again, great customer service when I found it. Price is not comparable in my opinion, after imposed fees. It is what it is. I’m just thankful that customer service was not hindering the process.

We booked our reservation for a 12 passenger van 6 months ago and we go there to pick up and they didn’t have it. Very un professional and didn’t care at all. I will never ever go to them or recommend them to anyone. They had plenty of time in advance to get the van. Next person to complain to is BBB. Do a better job Jeff otherwise you need to step downThe general manager and staff need to do a better job. They sucked at it!

The staff was terrible. We reserved the van for pickup on Saturday and drove 30 mins to get it and it was not there. They did not try to contact us. Finally picked it up on Sunday (the day we were to leave). Still waiting to see if we can get a refund for the day missed. Will never rent from Thrifty again from this location!Customer service was awful.

I was told I could drop off my vehicle at 9PM—24 hours after my pickup—at a location close to where I was staying in D.C. I arrived at that location to find that it was closed, and did not allow after-hours drop-offs. I called Budget to ask what I could do. I was told I could drop off the car at the airport the next morning at 7am!! When I explained why that wouldn’t be possible (would require paying $60 to get an Uber home, was NOT what I agreed to, and impossible due to my work schedule), the representative HUNG UP ON ME. I called back, was told the same thing, and finally was told that I could drive the car back to my apartment (where I would have to pay for overnight parking), bring it back the following day (which meant taking time off of work), and, in the case that anything were to happen to the car overnight, I would be charged for all damages. For the record, I originally was comfortable leaving the car at the location with the keys inside, but the fine print of my rental contract says that in that situation, if the car is stolen, I am liable. All of this, because I was told I could drop off my rental at a location that does not do evening drop-offs. You people are morons.

Took way too long at the counter as attendant had trouble reading my info. We were told only one car on our row , but there were two when we went out there. attendant finally came and told us it was our choice which one we could take, which we were not told at the counter. When leaving to check out we noticed the fuel was only7/8 full. The attendant noted it on their check out. We brought it back full but have not seen a refund as of yet.

I filled the tank at my destination, returned the vehicle (less than 30 mi drive) and they hit me with a $17 "fuel service fee". The cost for my rental turned out to be nearly $30 higher than the cost on your website. I also stood at the counter for about 15 minutes with my credit card in the reader waiting for Budget to run the transaction. I will never use them again.

It fit the need!Nice sized SUV (Ford Escape) given I was hauling my 1-year-old around along with several others. The experience with Alamo was very nice as they got me in and out quickly which I cannot say enough positive things about given I was lugging a baby, car seat, pack n' play, backpack, and diaper bag all by myself.Nothing really. GPS built-in would have been nice but my smartphone wedged near the dash did the trick.

I don't believe that she was being racist. But she was a bit uncouth. Then I had to walk across the parking lot in the blistering wind to select my car. Fix how customers receive their cars immediately. I waited 15 to get my car. Drop off location was a bit confusing to find the exact location to drop off car.

They truly tried .We came in on Christmas Day and there was a shortage of cars with flights delayed and rerouted passengers. So their systems were skewed with last minute changes. They worked so hard and were honestly trying to do their best to please so many frustrated customers. We appreciated their efforts through the hectic process and pleased that they were able to provide a car for us through all their confusion.

staff when I got the car was super nice and friendly.1. Car was dirty, mud in back seat. I had to clean it up once we noticed it at our destination. 2. Gas tank was not full, probably 3/4. When I returned it, the drop-off guy asked if I had any proof. Really, I have to prove it to you. Was I supposed to pull off on the freeway in heavy traffic and take a picture. Why couldn't he have told me how sorry he was instead of questioning my integrity. I wasn't asking for anything. 3. Car was supposed to be non-smoking but clearly had been smoked in. My wife even found a cigarette lighter under the seat. Told drop-off guy and he didn't care or make a note of it. Color me disappointed.

Top tips for renting a car at Lambert-St Louis Airport
- One of the advantages of car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport (STL) is that all the rental car companies have a location adjacent to the southern end of the airport property, which makes them convenient for those travelers arriving at the airport. From there, you will have easy access to Interstate 70 and will quickly be connected to the entire freeway and highway system in the city, making the trip to your destination quick and convenient.
- The real advantage of car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport, as opposed to other forms of transportation, is a combination of both speed and cost-effectiveness. There are public transportation options available to take you downtown from the airport, but these can take more than 30min, plus travelers will need to figure out what to do if they have a lot of luggage to take with them. While taking a taxi is also an option, fares to take you to downtown St. Louis can be an excess of around $35. So, when you combine the speed of travel and the rather cost-effective nature of renting a car, choosing a rental car at this airport is a great option for travelers.
- While all the rental car companies that offer car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport have a location offsite from the airport, the airport offers a free shuttle service that operates 24h per day and seven days per week from the terminal buildings to the rental car locations. To meet the shuttles, travelers should depart from Exit 17 of Terminal 1 and Exit 12 at Terminal 2.
- Travelers should remember that when they are returning their Lambert-St Louis Airport car rental that they do not want to bring it back directly to the terminal building. Rental car companies expect drivers to bring the car back to the same lot from where they rented a car. Once you've dropped off your car, the same shuttle that brought you to the rental car center from the airport can bring you back to the airport terminal building quickly and conveniently.
- Book your rental car at Lambert-St Louis Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
