Didn't disclose $100 cancelation fee. Especially for a simple mistake. Don't worry it will never happen again. Will NEVER USE YOUR SERVICES AGAIN!!!

The car was 4,000 miles over due on an oil change. All tire pressure was low. The keys were underneath the seat at pick up as if someone just threw them in there. There was trash in the glove compartment leftover from the previous driver.

The counter has one employee so each contract takes 10 minutes. We stood in line for over an hour. The employee was efficient, but should have had help. There were 4 cars to choose from and we took a semi cleaned one because it's a car I'm considering purchasing in the future and want to see how it drives. The car is mechanically questionable and Hertz needs to stay on top of their fleet servicing. It caused unnecessary anxiety on the trip and even thought I should turn it in early. The car and the long wait left me never wanting to rent from Hertz again. The really bright spot is the airport shuttle driver, he is personable, engaging, kind, high spirits and enjoyed that part of the experience.

Booked my rental through Kayak and clearly labeled that I wanted pick up to be at the airport. Through the point of booking, it even asked for my flight information so I though I was good. When I got to the Hertz at the airport though, they said my car was at a different Hertz on the other side of town. So I had to Uber to that Hertz to get my car. Then had to drop off the car at that Hertz and Uber to the airport.

Generally the overall rental experience was really great. Only the price was far too much in my opinion (roughly USD 130.00 per day for 6 days). Apart from that I'd totally recommend it again

The reservation was for the S. Salisbury location in Raleigh. While in an Uber to pick up the car at 10am, the location called to say that they didn't have any cars. I was dropped off at the location and told to call the national reservation number. I called and the agent moved the reservation to Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh location, some 20 minutes away. I hailed another Uber and while in that ride, the location called to say they didn't have any cars. At the Glenwood location I called the national reservation number and they said to go to RDU airport another 20 minutes away. I finally got a car but not before I had to spend an extra $50 on Uber rides and wasting 2 hours of my time.

Rude staff at Raleigh airport AVIS/ Busget. Gave me a crappy car even though I insisted I have a toddler and plan to drive over 12 hours to Canada. USD $315 was charged but they didn’t even bother checking my air pressure.

I booked a 12-passenger van, confirmed the reservation the day before, and then showed up and they did not have any available and only had smaller vehicles. Absolutely awful experience that did not meet our needs. Exceptionally frustrating considering the extra effort I went through to confirm everything was ready the day before. Will not use again.

After I agreed to insurance, the car rental company immediately call me to that the car is actually unavailable. Now I never use KAYAK because there are some double exist that the list of cars available is not updated frequently.
