Rented the car using the kayak app realize the rental was 20 mi away from the airport. Cancel the rental 5 minutes after I made the rental from Hertz. Still got charged on my credit card still fighting the charges even though I never made the rental never picked it out never used the car and canceled it 5 minutes after I made the reservation. Your website takes no accountability and just says canceling is up to the one who makes the listing total BS never will rent anything from kayak again

I made my reservation to pick up at PVD and when I arrived, it was changed to a downtown Providence location. Costed me an additional $100 in airport fees, taxes, tourism fees. I will NEVER rent from Hertz again

The guys at the Post Rd Branch went out of their way to ensure I was able to secure the commercial van I needed on Friday evening using the Airport Hertz location for processing. The Van could not be parked in the garage at the airport due to size and my flight was arriving after the street stores hours. The manager at the airport terminal also gave me a ride down the street to pick up the van. Kudos to the Hertz teams in Warwick / PVD.

The customer survive was amazing. Very friendly staff with great professional engagement. The only area of improvement was in car presentation. The vehicle was not externally cleaned well. The detail staff left the entice bottom half of the vehicle dirty. You could actually see where they stopped cleaning. Looked very bad.

I went to pick up the car and was told that I needed a major credit card. I didn’t have one and they said I would need to leave a deposit (which was fine) and they would run my credit. My credit score wasn’t good enough apparently and that was basically the end of the transaction. Stranded.

They did not specify the charges. When I picked up the car, the attendant told me if I prepaid for gas, they would credit back the difference of the gas unused back to my card. When i dropped off the car they said it was a one time price and there was no exchanges. great way to run a little 30 dollar scam.

I booked a “Camry or similar” and they tried to give me a Kia Forte. Not even close. After talking with them about it, they gave me a Kia Sportage. Better, but still not what I paid for. Maybe it won’t be everyone’s experience, but you wanted honest feedback.
