Car was not available at pickup. Only option offered was a different model (minivan vs full suv) at a different location. No compensation offered. Returned the car earlier and was denied refund of early time. Charged a bogus cleaning fee when no extra cleaning was performed. Repeatedly lied to by store manager.

Reserved a Manager Special at $135/day and upon arrival was given something they are renting for $33/day EV. Had the hardest time to find a place to charge and called customer service to return and swap for a gas car. The manager on duty wanted to charge me an upgrade for the days I had already used plus the one I haven’t used yet. When I asked what exactly was Special about the car I got for a $100 extra/day, he had the audacity to tell me that it’s their discretion to give me anything on the lot as a SPECIAL. Be careful when paying a whole lot extra for their SPECIAL, you will get the cheapest car on the lot. The EV was eventually swapped for a gas car with 60k on the odometer and a check engine light on the dash. Luckily I made it to my destination!

The pickup at Houston Bush was terrible. Took over an hour to get me car. When I arrived there were about a dozen people ahead of me in line, with two clerks at the counter. After about ten minutes, both clerks finally finished with their customers, at which point one clerk shut down her station & left for the night, promptly at 7:00pm, leaving the remaining clerk to work through the long line of customers. When I finally got my car, the poor guy still was solo and there were at least another dozen customers waiting behind me - probably would be another hour before they got THEIR cars. Terrible service!!! First time in a long time I’ve used Hertz, will probably not do so again. However, the car was nice, the return three days later smooth & painless.

We had to wait a while during pickup as there weren’t many cars available at the time. Then an employee gave us a bigger since we were waiting for a long time for the size we had reserved (holiday weekend). But then a manager didn’t want to do after we had already put all our luggage into the car. So they made us take all our stuff out of the car and wait longer. Eventually we got the car and everything went well. We were compensated for the inconvenience and long waiting so overall experience was good.

Upon my return from an international flight, I had four pieces of luggage on the trolly. I had initially reserved a mid-size SUV through Kayak, but Avis provided a sedan instead. Furthermore, I was required to retrieve my vehicle three times due to discrepancies in its assigned location. The third vehicle had a noticeable odor of WEED, which was acknowledged by an Avis employee at the ground , prompting a fourth vehicle assignment. This process consumed approximately an hour, which was quite frustrating.

New car was not clean when received. Staff was unfriendly. Car battery died twice and they cared little for our inconvenience. In total had to wait 5 hours for roadside assistance. Little communication beyond making sure they read me every disclaimer that I was responsible for the vehicle and may be charged for roadside assistance.. As of right now, no one has reached out and they still have not reimbursed me for the day without a car. Total disaster.

Dollar did not have a vehicle for me upon my arrival, despite having a reservation for two weeks. They also had no alternatives and no recommendations, so we were basically stranded upon arrival over 800 miles away from home. Thankfully, Enterprise was able to accommodate us.

We booked a car two weeks in advance but when we arrived with our group of 12 people, they had no car for us. When canceling the car on kayak to get our money back, we had to call multiple times and fight for them to return our money even though they didn’t have a car for us. We will not be booking through kayak again but will book directly through the rental car website.

I flew to Houston and ended up at Intercontinental instead of Hobby. When I went to the Thrifty counter I was told I was not in the system because I rented through Kayak / Priceline. My choices were, rent a car where I was or try to find a way to Hobby and rent the car I had reserved. I was in a hurry and figured i could get a refund from Kayak / Priceline once I explained my issue. I WAS WRONG. Called the number on my paperwork and after being on hold for almost 15 minutes was told no refund, no changes. NEVER AGAIN will I use Kayak or Priceline....
