They wouldn't let me rent the car without a flight number because it was booked at the airport. This was not disclosed and now it's taking forever to get a refund because I used the pay later option through Affirm and now have to go through a dispute process. This is horrible!!!

I used to work in the rental car business so this is not coming from a perspective of entitlement but rather experience. This SUV that was rented was simply not cleaned at all. There was a complete lack of care by the Budget employees at the airport in Buffalo. I did not report this at the time because the walk to the car is far away from the counter and I had to get to my appointment. Complaining wouldn’t be necessary and waste everyone’s time if a job was done properly from the beginning.

I did not like it at all. Kayak is only a front runner for another corporation that takes your money and I never got a car when I got to my destination and I haven't gotten all my money back yet. I did not understand that you're not really going to kayak kayak is just looking for cars for somebody else who may or may not get your car for you. I didn't like the experience at all and I never got my money back from kayak. I only got partial funds back from a corporation called QEEQ there you go.

The ease of extending the drop off time by 4 hours was greatly appreciated. That no extra fee was added was a great gesture. Pick up at the beginning took longer than it should have. I miss the Gold Club days.

I was told I would have a Jeep. That didn’t happen, but to be treated the way I was at customer service was horrible. You have cameras so look and see this man blessings everything on the people in front of me and didn’t need my res number looked like he was going to throw up if I even talked more then simple yes no and I was probably to say sir also

Pick up experience was poor. Despite of booking 2 weeks earlier, had to wait for 2 hrs to get the car from the counter.

I didn't end up getting my car. I waited in line for over an hour, saw them check out less than 10 people, and was then told they didn't have cars available for anyone except the people that had reserved a minivan. I ended up canceling my reservation and booking a car with Enterprise the next day. If at all possible, I'll never use Hertz again.

Bad customer service. They tried to get me to upgrade knowing they would give me a free upgrade if I declined because they did not have a vehicle in my level I selected. The clerk also lied about having to buy the toll pass to go into Canada. The toll pass does not operate in Canada.

The Buffalo airport car rental was a 3 hour wait. This was terrible with my family of 5, including 5, 8, 10 yr olds. Will never do this again.
