Terrible. My Tesla was sitting there and they wouldn’t give it to me because it was “reserved for uber”. Customer service was terrible. There was no manager and the manager was ignoring the persons workings calls. Not happy at all with our experience.Reviewed 6 Jan 2026

I thought Kayak was a trustworthy website. This Hertz rental car business supposedly based at LIH airport did NOT even exist! Me & my kids were stranded at the airport without the promised car I booked. Actual Hertz location said many others were scammed like this too.Reviewed 5 Jan 2026

If your company doesn't honor same-day reservations, why on earth do you make it possible to make same-day reservations online? It made a stressful flight cancelation situation even worse than it needed to be. I won't be using Hertz again.Reviewed 4 Jan 2026

When we arrived to pick up the vehicle, they told us there was no vehicle able. They said that many people were in the same situation and they were unsure as to why the system enabled us to book a car. I then said that systems sometimes fail, and while that is bad enough, there were two people working in the rental office who could have picked up the phone to tell us not to come. We arrived at 9:50am and were scheduled to pick up at 9am so that was 50 minutes they could have done so. They didn't even apologize, it was honestly the most infuriating experience and the whole point of me going to Palm Spring was to see Joshua Tree which I didn't get to see.Reviewed 4 Jan 2026

We booked with kayak and got to Lihue and there was no car for us. It was Xmas and we had to scramble and pay a couple thousand dollars more to rent a car. Our uber driver let us know she had of a group of 50 people the day before that had the same issue. Not impressed at allReviewed 4 Jan 2026
