Car was in much poorer condition than the vehicles we own. Fox Tampa staff is great; Fox corporate customer service awful. 2 major issues. After driving a bit, had an oil/burning smell that would not go away--seemed to have a bad tire or wheel bearing. Also, had a soft tire (took picture of air pressure screen) on pickup. Discovered next day that it wouldn't hold air after re-filling with air, because it had a nail in it. Fox Customer Service said we needed to pay because it was not reported within 6 hours. Very disappointed in their lack of appropriate service.

We had a problem with our flight and ended up getting to the car rental late. At first they gave me a hard time and said they would not honor our rental agreement. After telling them what happened to our plane with a fuel leak and being up since 4am they did honor the rental agreement.

The car we reserved was unavailable so we got an upgrade to a Kia sportage. The car was quite scratched up on the exterior and the seats inside were dirty and stained . It had 57K miles on it . The car drove well , seemingly had no mechanical issues and was surprisingly comfortable for a compact SUV of that price range. I didn't mind the age or mileage , because I didn't pay for an expensive vehicle , but I would have expected a cleaner one, I will try them again.

Their customer service and emergency road service was terrible. It took more than 4 hours for customer service to return my call and once they did, they disconnected me when transferring me to emergency road service which is automated. I’d already called them and it took 2 hours for a return call which had I been stranded could have proved dangerous and possibly fatal. Then it was almost 2 more hours before they gave me a new car. Additionally, I’d made an error on the drop-off time of the vehicle. I’d indicated 4:00 am instead of 4:00 pm on the same day. Myoverall cost skyrocketed to 376.00 US $ rather than the CDN rate! Overall, I’m am extremely dissatisfied

it was the worst experience ever, they overcharged us and although we showed them our invoice with the remaining amount we owed they charges us double and refused to refund us the correct amount. The representative was extremely rude, abrupt and unpleasant. We will NEVER use FOX RENT A CAR again, and I will let everybody in my network know about this awful experience, and will dispute the charge with my credit card company, unless they agree to refund us the correct amount

I waited more then 1.5 hours to rent the car. The consultant was in a hurry and we paid the rent more than it was stated for the prepayment. Provided not true information about toll roads, and because it was the first prime operator paid and regretted it.

The staff waiting on us was great - no high pressure to upgrade or add on additional insurance. The vehicle itself was not the best - a Kia Sportage - with 60,000. The outside was pretty banged up. I’m not sure how many miles they’re kept in service - but I’m pretty sure the resale value on that one was not good.

I will never use FOX again, I stood in line for an hour, there were 3 people working, spending a lot of time with each customer? A fourth person came on just as it was my turn, it took me only 10 min to get my rental? Maybe if they spent less time trying to sell more options and get the people thru there wouldn't be a long line at busy times, never again I don't care if FOX is cheaper than the other rentals

It took almost an hour once we arrived at the airport to pick up the car. There were initially only two people working and a line out the door. I was offered a million different things I had already declined online when I booked all costing more. Even a discount on tolls which there were none of. I knew that since I had already been to the same area before but the agent didn’t tell me that. Anything for more money. However the vehicle was great as well as the return process.

We loved the car... it was a Dodge charger. The time spent at the Fox counter for check-in was ridiculous. When we got there there was a long line, and only 2 agents helping. Finally a 3rd agent came which helped a little bit. It still took over one hour to get checked out which is frustrating and inexcusable. We came in late on a Saturday evening, so were anxious to get to our condo in St. Pete's beach. The wait at the counter was very annoying.

Fox Rent A Car is probably the worst company i have ever rented a car from. How do you justify having only two people working your counter on a Saturday morning. You are well aware of the amount of reservations you have on any given day. Staff accordingly. Take care of your vehicles. I wound up in a Toyota Sienna that at highway speeds shook nonstop as if the wheels were going to come off. The plastic moldings inside the car are broken and will not sit in place. The carpeting in the trunk is almost nonexistent
