National said that they did not have a reserved car at the agreed price. That I would have to pay 50% more if I wanted a car. Kayak and National wasted my time. Very disappointing!

Because the car I reserved and paid for was done with a credit card that had been “security compromised” and reissued, they would not release the car to me. I had to book a “walk-up” reservation, and pay a second time. I would like my initial payment refunded, and the second payment as well, for the anxiety this situation created. I’ve been a Gold member for over 20 years, and Kayak’s system does not jive well with Hertz. I am upset!

Pros:

Jo and Eric did a fantastic job with cleaning the car. They also were extremely kind and customer service oriented which I feel is extremely lacking in the car rental industry.

KAYAK

Pros:

The car was nice. Good size for what I needed it for.

Cons:

The day before my scheduled pick up I was called by the Hertz location informing me that they had a shortage of cars, and that hey were pretty sure that they would not have a vehicle available for me. I made this reservation and prepaid in full in February. I informed them that I had made the reservation to be able to transport my mother to and from her chemotherapy appointment at the hospital that afternoon, and that it was very important that I have a vehicle. They apologized and told me that there was nothing that they could do. They also recommended that I call when I landed in Portland to see if a vehicle was available, but again he told me he didn't see that happening. I asked about getting a refund so that I could rent from another place, and was told that they were unable to do that because I booked through a third party site, and that any refund would need to be taken care of through them When I landed there was not a car available. I had to take a cab to the hospital to see my mother, who made other arrangements to get to her appointment. They didn't have a car for me until 8 hours later. They didn't call me to tell me the car was available. I had to call them to find out. Went to the establishment, had a wait of 20 minutes. Was charged for taxes. Asked about getting a discount on my rental and they told me since I had prepaid in full they were unable to do anything for me. The windshield on the vehicle was filthy. They sent someone out to clean it. They did a really crappy job, and I had to take it to a gas station to clean the windshield. There was also less than 1/4 tank of gas in it, so had to fill up right after picking up the car. When I went to return the car, it was another 15 minute wait. This was a terrible experience. I have never had so many complications with a service that I prepaid 6 months in advance for.

Cons:

Had to wait for a car until another person dropped one off. No cars in Portland. How do you give cars to people and not have a car for someone like us who has a reservation. We had a mid size car rented, had to take a small Yaris with no cruise control. Smaller car but had to pay the same rate as a mid size car. Car was not clean when we picked it up. Hertz, really?

Your system allowed me to make a reservation for a time when your store is not open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had to get a car from another company after already. Hertz at the airport would not honor the reservation. First time kayak user who travels often.....Will not use your service again!!!!

Car was filthy, but I rented at the last minute so maybe there was no time to clean? Windows had paint pen on them, windshield had tape on it like it had just been replaced, interior hadn't been cleaned and there might have been mustard on the steering wheel!
