They didn't have the minivan I ordered on your website available, so they called me directly. Cancelled the rental. I later called in because it showed available on their actual website. Agent told me that it would be escalated with my original confirmation number because they will pull in a vehicle from anywhere else in order to fulfill my request and I'll be called back within 24 hours. It's now been 8 days and I've heard nothing from anyone.

Nichole, Dec 2021

KAYAK
We were given a car that had a bad wheelbearing and they refused to replace the car. They didn't honor the second driver added and gave her a bad time even though she had all the paperwork on her. It took several calls and days for us to get a new car. This made the trip longer, ran into weather and had to pay them more money to extend the rental. It is a huge safety issue and most of the people we spoke to at Hertz was very lackadaisical. Would any of them let a loved one drive a car like that? The sound it made couldn't even be drowned out with the radio. There were a couple employees that I got that went above what they could. Roadside couldn't even get a car replaced for us because management wouldn't approve it. It was just absurd. I will never use Hertz or one of their other companies again knowing that they do not care about their clients safety. Ordering through Kayak was easy and great.
