Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
Referred by an existing employee and applied online. Contacted 3 days later by a recruiter and went over the general expectations of the job, salary, etc. Set up an in person interview for the following week. Office was in a nice area of town. Interviewer was young. Questions were generally behavior and sales related. The interview process is quite ridiculous in my opinion. Go through 4 interviews to get a job that is literally renting cars and customer service. I wouldn't recommend for anyone to apply here.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 4+ weeks)
The recruiter found my resume on Monster.com and emailed me about coming in for an interview so I did. So that was the first round just to see if the recruiter thought you were a fit with the company and possess the right skills to be successful.
If they see fit then they send you to a second interview with an area manager (one step above branch manager). This person asks you some of the same questions but also tries to ensure that you are willing to put in the work that this job requires from you to become successful. If you pass this phase you go on to a third interview.
The third interview is with another step above the area manager, aka the regional manager. In some situations, like mine, the branch manager for the branch you would work at may sit in and partake in your interview. In this one they are almost trying to talk you out of the job by telling you that you do work 50 hours a week and at 12 something an hour, but they also point out that if you take the job and do well, then after a year or so you get promoted and with that comes a raise.
I was offered the position about three days after my third interview by phone and I accepted right away. This job is not for everyone but for some it can be extremely rewarding. It is at the very least a good place to start a career.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Applied online, and received a follow up phone call within a week. Met with a recruiter for an initial interview; it was a pretty easy/laid-back process. I scheduled my last interview with the branch and area managers for the next week, and it was definitely more difficult than the first. They are very sales-oriented, and want to see ability to sell.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
Majority of interview was me asking questions; I looked up everything about the position so i only had a few that weren't clear. That was my mistake - asking a few questions made it look like i was not serious. Word of advice - when asked "do you have any questions?" ask as many questions as possible. Interview was 1 on 1 in their head office. No call back.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Sacramento, CA (took 3 days)
The interview process is very extensive. First, you interview with a Recruiter, which for me lasted almost an hour. They ask you 20-25 questions so be prepared. If the recruiter thinks you are a great fit for the position then, s/he will recommend you to an Area Manager, who you will interview with next. The second interview consists of shadowing a Branch manager for about 30-45 minutes to see how one location runs and then the next part of the interview process is the question part, which some questions you'll remember from the interview with the Recruiter. If you make it to the end, they'll break down how the pay works, which most of it comes from overtime pay because of having to work about 50 hours a week. So that means your hourly comes out to around $12-$13. Don't know if it's worth it in the end.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 weeks)
3 interview process.
-The first interview is with someone in the HR department at your local corporate headquarters, (mine was close to 2 hours away)
-The second interview is in the branch you would be working at with the branch manager and area manager..it is also here you observe the branch and talk to the employees for an hour and make sure you want to do the job,
-The third interview is back at the HR department with one of the higher ups (a rental vp or something similar)
....if you score the third interview you pretty much have the job....

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Indianapolis, IN (took 2 days)
There was a pre-night event for the interviews and the guy there was laid back and seemed really happy to be there. However, the girl I interviewed with was kind of grumpy and not as into it the next morning. She acted as if the interview was the last thing she wanted to be doing. It gave a pretty negative perception of the company.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter a few days later. We spoke on the phone for 20 mins or so with basic questions about my background. I went in for a 1:1 interview a few days later and was asked more about my background as well as behavioral based questions. After the interview I was told that I would be emailed in the next week whether or not they wanted to bring me in for another interview. Two weeks later I received an email that they were pursuing other candidates.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Portsmouth, OH (took 2 days)
The interview started out with meeting all the current employees. I thought that was nice, because I had a chance to find out how they got the job and ask them questions. Everyone in the office seemed very nice, but a tad bit stressed, and always on their toes. So when the interview started, I sat down with two managers in a room without air conditioning (ridiculously hot), and asked me basic questions like where do you see yourself in five years. Overall they seemed uninterested in what I had to say. They kept saying they wanted someone with sales experience, even though online it said no experience necessary and my marketing degree was not enough for them. I knew I wasn't going to get the job before I left.
My advice to anyone doing the interview, bring your job description with your, prepare with general questions online, bring questions, and stay confident.
