St. Augustine Car Hire

Pros: NOTHING

Cons: Since they did not have any cars available, even though I had a reservation, the least they could have done was to check their competition rather than leave me stranded. They did nothing

Pros: Vehicle was clean and available on time

Cons: I was not made aware by Kayak or by Hertz that there was an additional "concession fee recovery" charge equaling $62.35 tacked on to the rental amount. When I asked the agent he said this was because I picked the car up from the airport. If I had picked the car up at another location the fee would not have been applied. I could have just as easily rented this car from another location near by. I believe that both Kayak and Hertz are responsible. The agent also said that if I had booked directly with Hertz instead of going through a third party they would have made me aware. I feel like I have been ripped off. Last time I will use Kayak or Hertz to rent a car.

Worst experience of my life!!

Pros: Carla, from customer service who helped me and Carl in the St. Augustine office

Cons: I wasn’t told about a Do Not Rent list when I went in a month ahead of time, I was kept on hold and hung up on for more than three hours, I lost a job opportunity because I wasn’t able to leave until six hours after I rented the car, I had mechanical issues and was treated like I was the issue by customer service, no manager available when I switched to another car nor when I turned in the car. Worst experience of my life and I have no way to make a formal complaint.

Car not ready

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The car was not available at the time of the rental.

Stay away

Cons: Even though we had a reservation, they didn't have any cars! Now waiting for a refund that isn't happening too quickly!

Pros: I liked the way I was treated at the Manchester NH airport, where I exchanged the car I had to settle for from saint Augustine. The car was not a full size,as requested! It was not clean inside or out and it had less than half a tank. Plus Calvin tryed to charge me twice the agreed price. David however exchanged the mid size Sentra for a clean full size Avalon with a full tank of gas. To top it off upon the return of the car back to the place I picked up the Sentra there was another attempt to charge me more than what my price is from the print out from Manchester NH. Family and friends all asked who I rented from and that they will not use them.

Cons: All in above-mentioned statement.
