I tried to call yesterday about 9 times - no one picked up the phone… First, we got the wrong contract with a Florida car even though our car had a TN plate. And actually, we have reserved a Contertible - apparently none was available. What‘s the sense of reserving a model then?

I thought I was renting a budget rental car at the Tampa international airport! Waited in line for 45minutes and was told that I was at the wrong location and they could not match the price ! I was directed take a Uber to the other budget location and while in route the location closed at 1:45pm so no rental car ! I will never rent from budget or go thru kayak again !!! Total waste of my time and nearly ruined my vacation!!!!

Would love to here from a manager on how this rental that didn't even happen, how budget could rent a car from tampa airport 25 miles away expect me to get there. After waiting 45 minutes in line at airport to then be told I didn't have a car to be picked up it was at this location and no help offered from counter to assist no longer a budget customer. Wow with customer service feel free to contact me 5183698419 Bill

Don't list cars that aren't available and send an email in advance to not travel there just to realize that there is no car available.

I loved how simple, easy and affordable the process was. What could’ve been better? The location assigned to me on my reservation was different than the one that was showing in Enterprise’s system.

Great Customer Service! The kind lady in Tampa suggested I could move my pick up location to Winter Haven, which is where I was, saving me much money and time. Much appreciate this company!

I rented my car from an off airport location. Getting to and from was a bit time consuming but, worth the savings.

Didn't have the car reserved. They dud offer for me to come back or stop in at any office and check about swap during the rental. Car was dirty inside and out. Need more attention in that area.

Watch when you are renting from second and third hand sites. I put in Tampa Airport but some how they offered prices for off airport rental of the same company, in this case Enterprise. When I got to the Enterprise airport they had my reservation in the system but it was for a location 20 min. away. So unless I wanted to get an Uber or Cab I had to pay $170. extra to rent from the airport. So beware before you book it, that you are still under the airport address for pick up.

There was a mix up on the drop off of the car. We had selected same drop off when making our reservation. We were told only because we asked that it had to be dropped off at a different location! We could not rebook or change it at the airport - instead we were told to call a 1-800 number which I did and after getting transferred around, was told I had to call the location where we were suppose to drop it off at. I did that. They told me they couldn’t do anything about it and that they didn’t think it would be a problem for us to take it back to the airport - but they couldn’t promise we wouldn’t be charged extra fees! So then I tried calling the airport - several times and they never once answered the phone! We ended up having to drop the car off in the city and getting a ride to the airport. Very disappointing and frustrating that I talked to no less than 4 people - none of which could help.

Where do I start? Worse experience ever. Went to the airport hertz counter and they said the hertz we were put in was off the airport. Took a cab there and after a F’ing $60 cab ride in a bad side of town, they said they had no cars. WTF. After waiting 2 1/2 hrs we get a POS car with 50k miles on it. Never again with kayak or hertz

Insurance costs could be better and cheaper. There are better options out there than what Hertz has to offer. The lady at the desk who helped us was very nice :)

We had booked a van online at Tampa international airport and when we got there we were told we didn’t but they said u must have been re-routed to a Avis agent half hour north of airport- this was terrible- then we were told we could not return it at Tampa and had to bring it back the agent or we would be charged - terrible - we should be partially compensated for out trouble Darren

Pickup was slow as all car keys seem to be thrown in one big drawer, with no organization. I inquired about the delay and was told there are a lot of cars in their compound. My car with filthy inside and out. The bugs on the windshield seem to have been there for weeks. I asked about car cleanliness and was told it was clean yesterday. I said NOT today. I was told it would be 45 minutes before someone could clean it. I took it filthy instead. The windshield washer had no fluid. Drop off was quick and easy.

Fake fuel charges of $120 added to the total! The vehicle was returned with full tank of fuel. They ask for a receipt of gas purchase, instead of checking the gauge in the car! Rip off, scam.
