The car itself was fine, when we got in to get our car it was 1am. The customer service took an hour to just get our car with only 3 people in line. There were 3 to 4 employees and only one was at a desk taking people. It was super frustrating as no one seemed eager to move things along. It of course didn’t help that I had two crying/tired children waiting in the lobby the whole time.

I couldn’t even rent the car because they wanted to put on a hold on my credit card that was more than double the actual amount. I figured maybe a little higher, but I couldn’t rent the car and there was no way for me to cancel through Kayak or Hertz. Each told me the other had to cancel, so I have no idea if I’m getting charged or anything? This is why zipcar is better.

Right so Hertz didn’t have the car. They didn’t have cars for around 15 people who came on time for their reservations. They refused to take responsibility and snapped at us for getting upset. We had ever right to be. We made reservations and paid ahead of time. They told us they had no cars. There were none in any location in all of the city. How a car company whose sole business is focused on renting and reserving cars could operate this way is beyond me. Absolute clowns. Their initial solution was to tell people to wait and “see” for up to 3 hours if a car would become available. That’s insane. I ended up having to go book a car at an airport in New Jersey for double the price. Horrible. I’ll never trust Hertz again.

When we arrived at Budget, the vehicle we had reserved—or even a similar one—was not available. Despite the situation, the attendant was very helpful and offered us the option of having a new vehicle brought to the location, though we would have had to wait an hour beyond our scheduled pickup time. The problem was that we already had a planned itinerary, and this caused a major delay. However, I acknowledge that the attendant did their best, and the fault lay entirely with Budget. We had another unfortunate experience with Budget in Miami, and we will definitely never book with Budget again!
