Pros:

The drop off was easy and efficient

Cons:

I was told that they did not have my car I reserved, then they did have it. It had no gas, so I had to wait for it to be filled up. They didn’t say anything about a $200 deposit, and they kept changing the price I paid while I was there.

Pros:

I didn’t like anything, we reserved our car for 8am, and 10am we were still waiting for them to bring a car from another location. Not only did we miss our flight from DC they gave us a car that was like $28 more per day and expected me to pay the difference which I couldn’t afford. You guys ruined everything and even made us arrive a day late for our vacation. When you’re on dialysis traveling can be extremely hectic & you guys made it ten times more difficult for a single mother trying to go on a trip.

Cons:

Only book the cars that you have, we wasted so much time waiting on a economy sized car only to be hit with a 2 door Camero from another lot that we couldn’t afford. You seriously ruined my 1st solo vacation with my kids, nothing went as planned after we didn’t have a car to get to the airport. I seriously can’t think of any way it could’ve gotten worse. You made me look unreliable to the 2 people that were looking up to me for a good time.

Cons:

If I were Kayak, I would stop selling Allianz insurance with Enterprise rentals, they don't accept Allainz, so you're basically making people throw money away. I didn't appreciate that very much. In fact, I've been spreading the word.

Had to book off airport location as airport didn’t have cars. Uber’d to location and there were 5+ customers without cars- they said that vehicles were overbooked by at least 20 for the day and that they couldn’t do anything about it. The lack of effort to remedy the situation was terrible. Ended up going to a low rate provider that had cars available. Their car was terrible, but they actually had customer service.

Pros:

The people working with me were very nice. The car was nice and clean.

Cons:

I pre-paid, because the ad said that it would create a quicker pick up. When I got to Hertz, the gentleman was working with another person. He kept leaving the room to ask someone a question. You could hear several people in the next room talking and laughing, but no one came out to help the gentleman. When he finally got to me, he informed me that I would have to go to another location ( about 20 minutes away) to get the car I reserved.(Glad I wasn't dropped off the pick up the car!) The reservation was not transferred, so there was more waiting once I got to the next place. All in all, it took me 2+ hours to pick up the car. I found that rather frustrating, as you can imagine. I was VERY late arriving at my destination.

Cons:

I booked a luxury vehicle; they "didn't have any," and "upgraded" me without asking to a Nissan Pathfinder, which cost me much more in NYC parking garage fees, and much more in gas over my 1,000 mile trip, and was difficult to negotiate on crowded NYC streets. Plus,for the formal event I was attending, I wanted a luxury vehicle, not an SUV. When I explained all of that, the customer service person said "so you don't want a car?" And that was that. Uncaring and very unprofessional.

My only real complaint is that I requested a Toyota Corolla (or similar) with the intention of getting a rental that was not a gas guzzler, since we would be traveling a long distance. Instead we received a Dodge Journey and had to fill up the tank multiple more times than we should have had to in a smaller car that I requested.
