Aug 2017
Pros:
nothingCons:
I received an email confirmation from priceline / Kayak stating that as I ordered. Iwas to pick up Sat at 12:00 noon and drop off the following Saturday at 5pm. I went to pick up the car got there at 12:15 and they were closed (they close at noon) on Saturday's. Nothing in the documentation I received even listed their hours. I called the emergency number list on their door and that took me to Hertz. Once I began to explain my situation which took awhile as they didn't seem to understand me very well. Anyway they transferred me to a supervisor who informed me that I was pretty much out of luck never even asking if I wanted a car. She did however tell me that I forfeit the $350 that I paid for the rental because I didn't pick up the car. I then tried to explain again that I was supposed to pick up the car at 12:00 and they close at 12 and also that my reservation has me bringing it back the following Saturday at 5:00 where they will have been closed for 5 hours. What was I supposed to do with it then? After awhile I was able to convince her to give me a refund, as she said it was a courtesy. Basically all I got out of the conversation was that this was ll my fault. I should have know the hours and read my confirmation letter where the hours are listed. I've double check a couple three times now and there are no hours listed. Anyway I had to spend a lot more money but I was able to get a car after some scrambling around. I also did receive a refund.5.2 Fair

Pros:
Finally got the car.Cons:
I prepaid for the rental in February to pickup at noon on August 26th, but the rental was not available until 2:30. The Hertz representative on site was not very helpful. I had to call Hertz directly before I finally received the service I needed. All this was happening while my wife and 4 kids were at the airport waiting, and hungry for lunch.Avis

Flew to Seattle and tried to pick up a reservation from 4 months ago and they didn't have it. I needed this to drive my 2 friends and I hours away to a concert. Another lady had the same problem while we were waiting. The lady working was nice but the company almost ruined my vacation. Had to rent a moving van from uhaul. It was cheaper, anyway.9.2 Wonderful
