Owner of the location where we picked up our car was great! Didn’t charge us for the booster seat we requested because he didn’t have much on hand to choose from. He upgraded our vehicle. And it still was so cheap and a great deal!

Absolutely a disastrous experience. I flew from Los Angeles to Grand Rapids, Michigan for a funeral. When I arrived via Uber at the Enterprise location with my reservation and confirmation number, I was told that there were no cars available, despite my confirmed reservation and confirmation. They offered no resolution, and I was stranded in Grand Rapids until a family member could pick me up. I was late to the funeral visitation and vigil. I will never use Kayak or Enterprise again. I called their corporate head quarters and have yet to receive any follow up from them.

The first car we were given at the hire point was very dirty and internally had a strong cannabis odour. On advising the staff they were apologetic and helpful however it baffled me that the vehicle could be sent out to hire in the state it was. Given we had a 12 hour drive ahead of us it was implausible that we could be subjected to the stench of the car for that long. Further as we were returning to Australia there was also a risk that our luggage could also become compromised through contact with whatever substances had been used in that car putting us at risk when trying to clear customs. The attendant said the previous driver would be charged additional cleaning costs. This begged the question if I had not said anything at point of hire then I would have been subjected to the cleaning cost. Altogether a very unacceptable experience.

It was an absolute travesty of a rental. The car condition was absolutely disgusting other than being vacuumed it smelled of cigarettes and marijuana. There was a thick film on all the windows that i had to clean it to be able to see. The trim on the passenger side at the winshield was off and the passenger side windows in both front and back had the film taken off and adheasive was left on the windows. I had attempted to contact hertz customer service via phone and email and never received a response.

Being disclosed about the deposit and them preferring credit cards would be great. My credit card had gotten stolen so I only had a debit on me and was charged a $500 deposit because of that. Of course you get it back, but it’s an inconvenience. My plane landed late, they gave away the car I originally booked… I was only 30 mins late to pick up. The line itself was long so I spent another 10-15 mins waiting which is fine ! But just to say, it’s odd they gave away the car I booked so quickly. Whatever. At least I got a car, but it still was far from a smooth experience.

It was awful. Upon arriving was informed there were no vehicles in the premium class I had reserved. Was put in a small SUV. I own and drive a Cadillac. I did not want an SUV. I did not reserve an SUV. No other option I’m told. Go to vehicle and tires are bald! Was switched to another SUV. Tires bald. Third try another SUV. Tires were good. There was a dirty diaper by the door I had to step around. I will never rent from Budget if there’s any other option.

I reserved Pacifica or similar and got Pacifica, and the car itself was nice. That's what I liked. Everything else was not. Car was filthy, smelled like a dog and had a lottttt of dog hair all over it inside. It had trash left in the trunk and there was a plastic bag with something that looked like a diaper inside, I didn't look inside, it was disgusting. I've also returned the vehicle 2 days earlier and it was only $25 less. When I was returning g the vehicle, I asked the return agent to provide me a receipt and she said it would be emailed to be and price adjusted, bit if I knew it would be only $25 less I would ha e kept the car 2 more days. I was in Florida so we had to return early because hurricane was coming. They should have AT LEAST informed me of what I would be charged when I was returning, especially after I asked.

Since we booked with Kayak for the GRR airport we assumed the car would be at the airport. The car was offsite at a location with no shuttle which also closed at noon which was when our flight arrived. After standing in line at the airport desk for 20-30 minutes the clerk told us we had 20 minutes to make it to the other site before it closed... they were off by an hour. So after taking a cab to and back from the closed site we had to rebook a car. Which made us late to our destination. Which made me look irresponsible. Pretty bad experience all around.
