13 Car Rental Brands in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

It's just okay. Avis and Budget seem pretty much the same, always using tricks to make you spend more on their extra insurance or options like returning an empty fuel tank. Even if you decline, they may sneak it in while you're not paying attention. They'll claim the agreement was emailed to you in digital form. Make sure to demand a paper copy after signing electronically and double-check it immediately!

Terrible experience. They demanded to check my daily itinerary and insisted that the return flight must be on the same day as car drop-off. What's their problem? My plans are none of their business. After returning the car, I can go wherever I want and do whatever I please. The staff lady had a sour face like I owed her money. Awful service and absurd company policies!

The Toyota RAV4 was the perfect vehicle for us as a couple travelling around Salt Lake City and Moab for 10 days. The mid-size SUV was able to meet our needs with sufficient room and lots of space for luggage. Ember the Customer Services Agent who served us was excellent and was efficient with our pick-up. Ember did not try to sell us any unnecessary cover as we had booked everything in advance. The only minor issue was Ember wanted details of my return flight for the drop-off, which took me a bit of time to find. The drop-off was very easy and seamless with a printed receipt provided on request. I did not purchase a tank of fuel so I filled up the tank before dropping of the vehicle. There are lots of gas stations in the local area.

1. After landing in Salt Lake City, the car pick-up process took at least an hour of waiting in a very long line. There were only two service counters open, and the staff worked very slowly without showing any effort to make things convenient for customers. 2. During the car pick-up, we unknowingly ended up purchasing additional insurance. It was only after checking the bank statement and consulting with Zuzuche that we discovered this charge. Looking back, the staff’s communication was evasive, and it turned out to be a form of hidden charge. This behavior is quite frustrating and unpleasant. I’m not sure if this is exclusive to this Thrifty location in Salt Lake City. On my prior rental in San Jose, everything was transparent and straightforward.

Did not get the car I wanted, the provided vehicle did not meet requirements, the space was too small to fit the luggage. The rental company even said there was too much luggage. Poor service—two people with two suitcases count as too much?

QEEQ's service is excellent, but the car rental company is quite unreliable. When I arrived at the pickup location, they told me they would replace the SUV I reserved with a sedan. I refused, explaining that I needed an SUV for my trip to Yellowstone National Park. I had previously canceled a lower-priced sedan reservation and specifically rebooked an SUV. After much back-and-forth, the staff, who were not very knowledgeable, took an hour to process the paperwork. As I went to collect the car, I saw the vehicle I'd reserved being driven away by someone else. Back at the service desk, they offered me a Jeep instead, which I declined, insisting on the Japanese SUV I had booked. After another 20 minutes, they finally gave me the correct car, which delayed my schedule by an hour and a half. QEEQ's customer service was very professional; I gave a positive review because their support team was always available and helped me apply for an extended return time. However, I encountered issues with refueling too—there were no labels indicating the type of fuel required, and neither the key nor the rental agreement mentioned it. In the end, I had to contact QEEQ customer service online, which was prompt and helpful.

Arrival- we needed a van and got a Dodge SUV. We were in the car a lot and it was crowded. The car widows were messy with kid or dog prints so we are not sure it was properly cleaned during Covid times. Car only had 1/4 tank of gas, so that is how we returned it. On departure, the agent was not at the location for our scheduled drop off time or able to give us a shuttle ride back to the airport. Uber cost $27.

The car we reserved was not available at pickup. We were given a large 12 passenger van instead. My husband had to return to the rental place later that day to get the car we reserved. The airport pickup was slow. They told us 15 min. It was 40 before they arrived.

This SUCKED I arrived. The budget counter could not find my reservation. Once I show them they then found 2 reservations. They could not figure it out so sent me into the main desk. These people were incompetent. I waited 30 min. Then when they got to me they told me that I had to wait 45 min for a car. Then at 45 min I check and they told me that they had no cars and there were > 10 people ahead of me. I walked over to Avis and book a car. I missed my appt.

Advantage did not have the car we want. They say that their cars are for first come first serve (base on customer that come in), even though I reserved it online. We have to upgrade and pay more for an SUV. Basically they gave us an option which isn't much option to choose from. They say reserving online only lock the price, but doesn't lock the car, which then I don't understand what is the purpose of me spending my time choosing the car for so long, because in the end, the car availability is in correct and it's totally up to what advantage have.

I was obliged to take an SUV, when I had reserved a compact. Apparently for road to ski hills....would be important to advise customers ahead of time. Going from 112$ to 1085$ US is unacceptable. Then magically offering discounts to an unacceptable price is insulting. I was a solo renter, going from 112$ to 300$ was unaccepable. Then no indications on where I drop off the car, only 1 employee on return, waited over 30 minutes only to be told I just need to drop the keys in a box.

The counter staff tried to upsell a more expensive vehicle to every customer while I was at the counter. It wasn't even subtle and definitely a put off.

First, they extended a trip of less than 4 days to 5 days, and the official confirmation receipt was higher than the booked price. They insisted I sign it first before I could raise objections. When I requested intervention from the car rental platform, it hardly made any difference. Only after continuous demands did they change it back to 4 days. During a vehicle inspection, I was dissatisfied and asked for an upgrade. They only mentioned a $15 daily upgrade fee but didn't inform me about an additional fee or tax of about 200 yuan, which is outright robbery.
