Despite having a reservation they didn’t actually have any cars. The wait for a car was an hour and half and the seating area was full of people waiting for cars. I had a scheduled tour so I had to call another company for a car. Not sure what is going on but Budget needs to figure things out.

The customer service rep at Hertz was lovely, very polite and great service your website (kayak) allowed me to book a vehicle but after walking a few blocks with my luggage to fins out that Hertz can't accommodate because they dont have enough vehicles to do a same day reservation so we then had to walk around the area trying to find a different car rental So experience was not very good, based on this experience would not recommend Kayak

There were no cars even though multiple people had reservations. The men staffing had no other options to offer, help, or information. People were stranded or had to pay higher prices at other companies if they wanted a car. Don’t book with Hertz, they don’t honor reservations.

We used their “skip the line” feature, which led to us waiting in three lines. The first person we encountered refused to even look our reservation up, sending us to another counter. That counter sent us back to the first counter. While we waited in the third line we listened as the associate gave away the cars randomly, telling folks to pick anything they wanted in spots 1-20. Oddly those slots held everything from compacts to SUVs, which do not rent for the same rates. We ended up with the last small SUV, even though we paid for a mid sized SUV. No apology for the poor service either. Sad.

Enterprise was fine. I didn't get a car. I cancelled the reservation bc I was going to use the car for driving for Uber. When I inquired about it, I found out that I could not do that. They were very accommodating about it. But the insurance company charged $126 for a full week of insurance. I cancelled with Enterprise and Kayak. (Who I thought sold me the insurance). When the money was charged to my account, I immediately contacted them to let them know that I had cancelled. So far the response I have gotten is insurance co. tells me to contact Kayak and Kayak tells me to contact insurance co. for a refund. So far haven't received any money back. So can you please let me know why I e been charged for something I didn't utilize and had cancelled prior to needing it. Thank you, Stacye Stone

Billed more than said. Vehicle possible problems. No tow although told many times coming. No vehicle to exchange for although told so. Then we were held up for hours due to the rental not going to let my son drive it out again cuz no other vehicle. This whole process cost us more money and hours of our vacation time.

I rented a SUV for pickup the same morning of rental. When i arrived for my pickup the Dollar rep wasn’t pleased i went through kayak and told me there was a 4 hr wait time after rental was booked. She said I shouldn’t use kayak. She said I wasn’t going to get a suv and i could go wait and come back. This delayed my travel. I kept staying near the counter and was staying nice to the agent. It was not busy and she finally motioned for me to return to counter. she said i can give you a kia but your not getting an suv and the price will not come down so what do you want to do? I had no option but to take the kia car and make do. I am very unhappy w the service of the dollar rep and the vehicle i was forced to take. It is not a positive experience when the rep downplays me using kayak as my rental platform either. David Hewitt

This rental location is a complete disaster. It is a hertz office and they have NO idea what they are doing. Booked the reservation, called to confirm they had a car, arrived to pick up and just like the previous time I attempted to rent from this location, NO CAR. Had to pitch a fit to finally get them to honor a reservation. Two people on calls with customer service in the waiting area to address their concerns. It is a joke. I make every effort to rent from Enterprise when I need a local rental and try to avoid this location at all costs.

We didn’t get a vehicle because they didn’t have a van for us after they had sent emails saying our rental was ready for us. Waited 2 hrs and got stories about the van needing to be cleaned. Finally admitted they didn’t have a van. A waste of time.

Got to the counter for pickup and they were out of cars. Didn’t do anything to help, said we would need to contact customer service. Ended up giving us a lower-category car hours later with no refund (paid for an SUV, got a small car). Terrible experience on thanksgiving day with a 4 month old baby and 2 seniors.

Charge for Expedition 75 a day more. Too expensive. Was charged for extra driver 13.99 a day. Showed rental coverage policy saying no charge. Still charged extra. Not pleased with service. Told no vehicles in to accommodate us. Had seniors . Sent to 3rd floor and slot to pick up car. Had to find someone to help us there. Luggage space small with 3rd row up even with carry on. Basically put luggage between seats. Uncomfortable ride to travel 2.5 hours from airport. Very disappointed
