I would suggest that they disclose that there is a security deposit up front and not just in the fine print. This should be stated upon the main page or at least when the total due amount comes up.8.0 Very good

Sep 2020
Pros:
The rental car itself was ok.Cons:
Kayak booked my reservation 30 minutes away from the airport. When this was determined by the staff at Hertz Detroit airport, they were unwilling to help arrive at a solution. I had to leave the Hertz area and book through Thrifty/Dollar in order to obtain a rental car. Additionally, the area where I needed to work with the Hertz Detroit airport representative was in a closed in space, making me less comfortable during COVID.5.2 Fair
