Overpriced

Pros: The price quoted was not what I was given when I arrived. Many add ons that were compulsory. And the only car they had was automatic and I wanted manual. I cancelled and went next door to Tempest

Did not receive our car

Pros: Nothing

Cons: We came to the counter around 8am when we were supposed to pick up our car and they didn’t even what we ordered. So we waited because their systems were down. We waited over 45 minutes and still no car. We need to leave the airport around 9am to be able to make it to something we had planned. So we had to leave hertz and go to another rental company. We were 30 mins late to something that was very important. We were very unsatified with our service. Hertz made us late to something we needed to be on time too.

Great Service; Misleading Price

Pros: Everything about the experience was very easy and professional. The attendant was knowledgeable and articulate. The vehicle was easily accessed and the return procedure was smooth and efficient.

Cons: I realize the car rental business does not face the stringent fee transparency rules of airlines, but the difference in booked versus actual rate is ridiculous. We paid over THREE times the rate we had agreed to upon reservation.

Pretty good, but not great

Pros: They upgraded us for free!! Very nice. The clerk was pretty friendly.

Cons: They put the entire value of the car on our card as a hold. The checkout process was pretty disorganized and they asked for the yellow copy of our receipt of which we had, but were never asked to keep it to provide.

Cons: I was not giving the online price I booked. I was told they would not honor it and charged me 3x the price. Required me purchase insurance that the online booking said was included in the price and charged me an extra day no I'm having trouble getting the money for that extra day back....smdh

Horrible

Cons: We purchased the offered insurance online. When we went in, the hertz company wanted charge us their insurance which raised the price of the rental 3x the original cost of the booking. If we declined their insurance, they would put a hold on our credit worth the value of the car. Of course our credit card could not cover the amount of an entire car! We had to cancel the booking, but since you have to pre-pay for the offered insurance, we lost that amount. It was the one of the most disappointing events I've ever had while traveling.

Hidden costs

Pros: The car was clean and new.

Cons: I didn't like that the cost for renting did not include all the fees. It didn't have the extra fees for it being at a airport location along with other fees. I wanted this rental since it was online for $17 per day but when I got to the counter it came up to $25 a day. The clerk at the front desk gave a crapy reason saying that since I got it from kayak a third party site that's why the extra costs wasn't on that site. Lucky I only needed the car for one day but if I needed it for an extended length of time I would not have been happy.
