Pick up and drop off was super fast and efficient. The team at the westend were helpful. I would say the value for the rental was overpriced. I did need a rental due to my car breaking down just to get me and my family around the city and it cost a little over $1000 for a week and just 397 kilometres driven total for a car. That makes it around $2.52/kilometre. This was the main reason why I didn’t extend my rental and I sought out other solutions.

Unfortunately the car was very old and the front classes was with many cracks and the break wasn’t good enough also the tires was old … I suggest the company to do major maintenance for the car
Car still had chezzies in back seat, overall very good.

The customer service of HEFTZ company in Saskatoon told me that I will be charged $35/day for extending my car for two days. But they charged me for $835 for 2 days, which is like I am facing a fraud company. I am super disappointed with the mis-guidance of the company's agent (a lady). And when I noticed, I dropped the car and I explained the agent there, but he did not care at all. He finally said I will evaluate and will call you back at 4 PM to force me to leave. And he never called me and did not pick up the phone. He actually ditched me.

The price doubled when I did the pickup of the vehicle and this is clearly due an unclear and intentioned hidding cost policy of Kayak. I will never book nothing else using Kayak. You cheat, you lie, you’re not true.

Agent at pickup counter was not overly friendly and changed the type of car I had reserved. Secondly, they (Hertz), would not allow me to change pick up locations to make it more convenient for me, costing me an Uber ride. Lastly, they overcharged me and I'm still waiting for them to correct the error.
Increased the price without notifying me. Very awful and fraudulent

So wait in line was horrible. I was given a Toyota Corolla, which that would have been OK but the whole front windshield had a crack from one end of the windshield to the other. There were also a lot of pits and holes in the front windshield. I should have returned the car When I saw the windshield. I should’ve never driven it out of the lot, but I was so exhausted from standing in line. I just wanted to get out of the airport.

The service was great. The only thing is that the car they had for us had a long crack across the windshield. I refused the car and they provided us a SUV instead which was the only other car they had at that moment and we had to pay 70$ more for the week. The rest were perfect.

The drop off staff was better than pick up staff. Dealing with pick up staff was hell
The drop off was great! The pick up was terrible. The employee at the counter was complaining about Immigrants and liberals. First, he himself is an immigrant ( maybe from India?) who said HE came to Canada at college age ( somehow he is entitled) and now that he is in, he wants to pull the ladder for anyone else to come to Canada. I guess the fact that I am a blonde, fair skinned person made him think I am a racist. Completely turned me off. What a hypocrite. I guess the irony went over his head.

The pick up was fast, and the drop off was easy. The car was clean, and comfortable. The only little thing is that we didn’t have winter tires in end October and we had snow on our way. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

I paid for a full to full vehicle. I was told at the desk they don’t offer this service and we needed to just return the car empty how we found It. This was disappointing, bearing in mind we don’t have any signal and couldn’t initially find a gas station, the counter staff couldn’t direct us to the nearest one.

Good customer service, I hope the rental price lower a little bit. Good new gas deal, paying ahead to not fill the car at gas stations , down side of it if you use less gas don’t get the money back.

Nothing. We need a vehicle that the passenger seats folded into the floor like a dodge caravan. We booke dodge caravan but the substituted Kia Carnival which did not meet our needs. They also refused to accept the insurance purchased through your site. Please make your customers aware of these failures.

Being unfamiliar with the car, we could have done with a little more instruction - eg… the SatNav from our phone and we couldn’t work out the transfer of music from the phone.
Good and fast service everything is fine hopefully come back to Calgary thanks Andy

1. Vehicle was not sanitized/cleaned when picked up 2. Vehicle was not serviced (overdue on oil change), windshield fluid still had winter and not summer (bugs splatter would not get cleaned), etc 3. National reimbursed and compensated for the time and money spent on fixing the vehicle.
I booked online and when I got to the location they didn't have a vehicle and they took my money for insurance and won't call me back to refund my money

Having two employees offering to drive us back to the airport and then refusing a gratuity as ‘it’s part of the service’ was a pleasant surprise. It was the same young fellow that came back out to the car upon our arrival to program out GPS. Overdelivering never gets old!
