Has anyone rented cars in Dayton, OH? We have to go to OH and IN in August for a family wedding and need a car. We rented from Dollar last summer and had a horrible experience, one which I do not wish to repeat. I have a great rate from Budget but have never rented from them before. Any recommendations of car rental companies in Dayton?
 
I've rented from Avis in Dayton and been very happy with the car and the convenience.

Thanks for the info. I just checked Avis and they are almost $40 than Budget for my dates/times, so I'll go with them.

We rented from Dollar last time and it was a nightmare. I'd specifically reserved a full sized car for the week. DH and I were driving from Dayton to Detroit, picking up our daughter at the end of her 3 week dance program, then driving to Bloomington, IN to visit with family. We arrived in Dayton on July 4 to find that the Dollar concession is basically a pay-to-park lot with a few rental cars available. They had NOTHING for cars. Seriously… Dollar had two mid-sized cars available on their lot, both with high mileage, and one of them had a wet trunk. I knew a mid-size wouldn't work with the amount of luggage we had, so we waited for over an hour for a return. The agent advised against waiting, confiding that they had more reservations than they had available vehicles, so once they were out, that was it. We took our chances and waited for the next car to be returned. It, too, was mid-size but was bigger than what they'd originally offered. Once we picked up DD, we had to store luggage in the trunk, back seat, and under her feet. What a pain in the butt!

I am looking forward to a great experience with Avis! :drive:
