They didn’t have any vehicles available when I got there, they were sold out for the day. I was also told I needed to have a $500 deposit ready in the case a car became available and a credit check was required. Definitely will not try to go through this company again.

Our flight arrived at midnight. I noted this when looking for a car. We were dropped off by the airport transport to the car rental facility in Kansas City. There was NOBODY there in the whole facility. Nobody at Dollar. Nobody at any counter. We sat in what resembled an empty shopping mall for 2 hours with my 83 year old mom in a wheelchair and 4 kids at midnight just trying to find a way out of there. No Uber had space for 7 of us. Customer service at Dollar wouldn't answer the phone. Customer service at Hertz quoted us $357 for 1 day to rent one of their vehicles just to get out of there, just to come back the next morning and get our actual rental, pre-paid for at Dollar. Nowhere in our pre-travel emails did it say that when we arrive there wouldn't be anyone to give us our van. Why would you rent a van to someone who stated they were coming in at midnight when you knew you wouldn't be there to provide? Two security guards and an exit gate attendant at Alamo working graveyard helped us as much as they could to get us out of there. We finally were able to snag a van with Alamo for $140 for the night just to get to a place to stay for the night. We had to drive an hour back the next day, on Easter mind you, to get our Dollar rental. Drop off was fine and the vehicle was fine and the manager on duty was able to help with some compensation which was appreciated. Travelers be warned however, vehicle rental past 6pm at KC airport with Dollar or Hertz will leave you stranded and alone.

They seem to be struggling with having cars ready for reservations. I think my agent tried to give me at least two or three cars and by the time they got to finalize it the car had be taken by someone else. I finally got a small Ford truck which did what I needed to get from point A to point B.

Renting through the app was fine. Trying to discuss changing with Avis was horrible! Good luck trying to speak with someone who speaks clear English and actually lives in the US. Still trying to get a charge, that I thought was cancelled, reversed. Horrible customer service and NOBODY to go physically talk to. I'll NEVER attempt to rent from them again.

Reserved and prepaid for a car. Once I arrive there was no car. They do not seem to understand how reservations work. We were put in a major bind and nearly missed the even we flew in for. The young man behind the desk gets 5 stars for trying his best to find us another rental car from another agency. My advice to anyone renting from Hertz- don't do it if you actually need a car.

When I booked the Hertz car they booked me at a downtown location and not the airport. I had never been to Kansas City so I just assumed the location was off site and I would take a tram from the airport. When I got to the Hertz desk at the airport they said I was in the wrong place and they had no cars that I could rent. By the time I got into town they told me they had given my car away and they did not have a car for me. They said they would try to get me one the following day and they would call me. They never did. A terrible way to treat a Hertz Gold member.

They tried to slip in an extra $80 charge for my car. When I asked them what it was for and attendant named Ashley made me wait for 30 minutes to speak to her supervisor. When I finally get to the supervisor all he did was make stupid dad jokes about how his day was going. He called me into his office, did not invite me to sit down, and spent 10 minutes determining that he has no idea what Ashley was doing. When I asked if this was of any concern— That his employees are just charging customers, large sums of money with no Justification, he just stared at me., And aggressive. Never go with her. Every couple years I Go with them because of a low price, and I get reminded why this is such a shitty company.

Getting from baggage claim to Payless terminal had to stand in long lines to get on the bus. The customer service agent was very nice and friendly. We ended up getting an electric car, but never told us about what charging stations we could use being not familiar with that type of electric car and where the charging stations were a big problem wasted a lot of time during our driving experience, trying to find chargers that would work.
