Vehicle was perfect for our trip! Clean, good gas mileage, comfortable and easy to drive. Price was expensive even if it was spring break.

A little more privacy when talking to an agent. Another customer was butting in trying to get the car I was reserving

i booked my car online with my visa debit/credit card. when i arrived to pick up my car i was told i could not rent it without a credit card. No cash/check or debit card credit card only. I had traveled to MI from PA by car. We had car problems and I needed to rent a car to go back to PA that day. I did not have a credit card on me. No car then!!! I had to go to another car rental and pay more to rent a car that did take a debit card.

Ridiculous RulesWhen I went to pick up my rental they don't accept credit cards that are also debit cards and they don't accept cash. I ended up not getting a rental.

When I picked up the car they told me that the 9.00 insurance I purchased would be invalid as I wasn’t the primary driver. I was renting a one way vehicle. So I had to buy another insurance policy at 13$. I have done this routine many times and this was a first. Wasn’t happy.
6.0 GoodJan 25 2018
It was easy to make a reservation with kayak. We were pleased with the policy that you could cancel at any time prior to departure. The pick up and drop off were really easy.We were promised a Hyundai Elantra “or similar”- which is an intermediate car. We were traveling with luggage and a baby and needed the room. The “or similar” car we got was a compact at best- and economy at worst. I don’t appreciate how the company decided to downgrade us because they didn’t have an Elantra. But, I suppose that’s what happens these days. I also thought the car reeked of cigarettes and pee. The seats were grossly stained. As a non smoker with a baby, this was almost unbearable. But, it was vacuumed and looked like someone had tried to clean it as best as possible. Overall, it was a really good deal and we were just thankful to drive 12 hours without a problem.

the agent was very friendly and accommodating. Car was clean and in good shape.

Simple comfortit was a great deal on a roomy car with excellent gas mileage! Pick up and drop off was simple and quick.If I had to choose something, I guess it would be the fact that both sets of keys were chained together and couldn't be separated.

Nothing, they either let me reserve a car they didn't have or they gave my reservation to someone else. I never got a car until it was too late and I bought a plane ticket.Maybe save reserved cars for people that make reservations? Or better yet, don't make claims you have zero cars when in fact you do. It's pretty stupid to have cars just for one way and cars just for round trips. I guarantee it's not a lot of people that take cars for one way. You have employees that can take cars to different locations if need be.
7.6 GoodSep 20 2020
Quick return of car. Price.Car cleanliness. Had not been vacuumed or anything. Stains on the seats. Payment was strange and had to wait for the Hertz staff member to get phone approval for the charge from the Hertz rental's bank. It was strange and I was nervous about why it happened for such a small charge.
3.6 MediocreOct 4 2019
People at the Hertz Counter at MBS airport were fantasticthe car had mechanical issues with the tires and traction. the worst thing was the smells in the car, the car had a smoker in it previous to my rental, cigar and weed smoker and the car reeked of those smells. In addition to that the rental location has overdosed the car with liquid air freshener in an attempt to cover up the smoke. It overwhelmed my sinuses and I was unable to exchange the car it was horrible
5.2 OkaySep 16 2019
The staff at both locations was amazing. Very helpful and on top of it.The car was awful, it was the absolute worst car I have ever driven as a rental. I will never buy a Nissan. Poor choice to put in as a rental. Car has trouble handling over 70 mph, uncomfortable and super annoying.

staff was fineThe car had just been used by a smoker, and smelled horrible. It was too late to get another rental as I arrived on the last flight of the day, otherwise I would have exchanged it. Unfortunately I had to leave the area, and there was no time to go back to the airport and get an exchange.

Not a return customerThe Nissan Maxima the car I got for the ride home.I didn’t like The dead battery on the Ford Fusion hybrid while I was in Myrtle Beach parking lot of my condo. AND Returning car on Easter Sunday to find no one at the Hertz counter in Freeland airport. No sign, no help (not even a number to call) with lots of questions. Had to call 3 people to get help.

The day we went to pickup our rental they told me they are no longer doing drop offs at another location. This rental was already confirmed via email for a different drop off. First day of our 7 day trip from Saginaw to Houghton MI with NO car. They stated they called me in advance but they DID NOT! Why would I be there to pick it up? I had to book with Avis (they are our saviours) however they did not have a rental at Houghton airport so we had to spend $500 on another airplane ticket at another airport that was 2 hours away. I WILL NEVER USE ENTERPRISE AGAIN!

On AirportI searched a rental car from MBS to TVC on Kayak. I booked a reservation thinking I was picking my car up from the airport at MBS. My reservation said "on airport" underneath the address to pick up the car. I got to MBS and they did not have a reservation for me but said I made the reservation at the Saginaw location. MBS did not have a car to give me at the time and neither did any other rental place at MBS. I called the Saginaw location and was told no one could pick me up due to contract issues. I had to find my own transportation to the Saginaw location. I felt like no one was willing to help me or go above and beyond to try to help me. No taxi numbers were provided or really any sympathy for my situation. No one could explain to me why my reservation said "on airport" but yet I did not have an airport reservation. When I got to the Saginaw enterprise since I had booked on Kayak it seemed there was nothing anyone could do to reimburse the $46 I had to pay in taxi fare to get to the Saginaw location. Also, once I started driving the rental car I noticed the tire pressure light was on on the dashboard. I had to turn around and go back to the Saginaw location so they could put air in the tires. Overall I am completely unsatisfied with my rental experience through Kayak and will not be using it again.
