Cheap Car Rentals in Fairfax, Cleveland from $5

The people that took care of me at the rental location were awesome

The clerk was cool, but that was about the only thing I wouldn't complain about. First, doing the renting through the app was terrible. I ordered the $11/day insurance along with the rental, but when I placed the order, I got a message that said the rental had been done but they couldn't and didn't add the insurance. So, I got the insurance at the counter for $15/day, only to find out that the insurance HAD BEEN PURCHASED. I paid MORE for the insurance at the counter than I did for the insurance through the app. It was too late to change it, so I had to cancel the insurance that would have cost me less. Then, I used my zip card to make the reservation, because I wanted to break up my payments. When I got to the counter, the card didn't work, so I gave my credit card to hold the charge and THEY USED THAT FOR THE PAYMENT INSTEAD. I get the car and it looks like it's been sitting in someone's driveway under some trees. Little dead leaves and grit all over it! At least the interior was clean, but it was too small. My knees were scrunched the whole time. I adjusted the seat back as far as it could go and my knees were STILL scrunched. On top of that, I turn in the car at 6 p.m. as per the reservation. I find out the next day that I've been charged for a whole other day. Thank God that when I called, they immediately corrected it. But I'm skeptical whether I'll use their services, again. Needless to say, this was an all around horrible experience. Fix it so that there is no glitch or confusion with the insurance going through with the reservation. Have the car rinsed down before handing someone the keys. Have a more consistent system that recognizes different methods of payment both online and at the counter.

The car battery completely died in the lot of the hotel AND oil life was at 2%. Once sent to office for a new car, they didn't have one for me for 3 hours, missed work meetings due to it. F experience. Inefficiency and ineptitude was hard to believe at times. Won't be going through budget again.

Reserved a small 34$/day car from pickup in downtown Cleveland. Had to Uber there to have them tell me all they had were Escalades for 150$/day. Then I had to Uber home with no time to go to another location to pick up a different car. Waste of time, terrible service once I got to the location. Will never go through Hertz.
