Check your own fluids before you leave.
Cons: I was sent off with almost no brake fluid in the rental car. The low brake fluid sensor went off on a rainy mountain pass, it was a very scary drive. When I called the rental place they said" The Hertz people in Albuquerque are supposed to be in charge of filling car fluids. Very unhelpful.

better booking through Kayak than Hertz
Pros: At Kayak, we had straightforward car rental booking and the pricing and the car availability were good.
The Hertz rental agent in Santa Fe was friendly and helpful and worked hard to help everyone as quickly as he could despite some tech challenges.
The rental car and car return were super easy to get to and find (such a tiny airport!).
Cons: After looking at Kayak, we attempted to look at the Hertz site directly and it was confusing and inconsistent in what it said was available.
Somewhere I thought I read we'd have to take a shuttle to get our rental car which wasn't the case and was a bit confusing in trying to line up our plans and estimate our arrival time at our host's house.

"make and model not guaranteed", but thats what I
Pros: Good gas mileage
Cons: I requested a Nissan Sintra and received a Toyota Yaris. Bad start to hear my purchase was not guaranteed, because I tend to request things that actually fit my need. My luggage could not fit in the trunk which meant we had to keep it in the back seat where it could have gotten stolen. Therefore we were worried about theft half of the trip and trying to cover everything and put valuables under seats. The Yaris is also too small for the freeway driving we were doing. It felt like a death trap because they gave a car with a tire leak and when the car picks up speed the tires are so small that they have a tough time having a solid grip on the road. Very disappointed and felt unsafe.

Major Hertz hassle
Pros: The Hertz reps at the Santa Fe airport were very congenial and helpful. Easy pick up process.
Cons: Hertz handled my call about a flat tire on the road at 9pm and sent a serviceman to install the spare, instructing me to drive 30 miles to a tire shop that was open until 11pm. When I arrived, the tire shop was actually closed. The Hertz call center rep advised me that there were no other options and no Hertz rental office within 125 miles so I was told to drive home (250 miles) on the spare at 55 mph. Against my better judgement, I did so and arrived home at 4am.

No car available!!
Cons: While I had a confirmation number, I did not have a car. The local agency called me very belatedly to let me know it would be in my best interest to formulate a "back-up" plan as they did not have a car available for me.

Nov 22 2016
Cons: When I got there they said they didn't have a full size car like I had reserved and wanted to give me a SUV. I insisted and they gave me a full size Malibu. Why they said they didn't have one I don't know. They said the car was full of gas and it was only 3/4 full. The car was really dusty and full of bugs on front.

Great price and helpful staff
Pros: After getting an outrageous quote for a rental car directly through a rental company, I decided to try Kayak. Kayak was great! I was able to obtain a rental vehicle for $400 less than my original quote. I was able to get a vehicle from Avis that was just what we had hoped for. The Avis staff was friendly and helpful both at pick up and return.
I will definitely use them again.

Cons: They did not have the car we reserved, and were going to charge me extra to upgrade to something that they had on the lot. They should have waived that fee given that they didn't have the car we reserved.

BUDGET MAY NOT RENT TO YOU
Cons: Although I was able to book a reservation and obtain car insurance through Kayak, Budget denied my debit card. Therefore I was unable to rent the car. It shouldn't be possible to book a reservation and then be denied car rental.

Pros: I showed up to the rental car location around 12:30PM. The location closed at 12:00PM! Nobody called to tell me and the hours of the location were not listed on my reservation. It was such a disappointing experience and it ruined my plans for the afternoon.

Easy pick up/drop off and free upgrade
Pros: Even though I had to wait awhile to pick up my car, the staff was friendly as they buzzed around tending to cars and customers. Olivia gave me a free upgrade and that ride was smooooooth for my 4 hour drive down south. Checking back in was a snap. I'd use Enterprise through Kayak again in a second. Best prices in Santa Fe.

Pros: Very customer focused, very helpful and willing to go the extra distance for you.
Cons: Return was difficult due to my lack of attention to return location hours of operation. The manager explained a local security issue regarding the use of after hours drop box that precludes the local area offices from using this option. After hours drop will improve in the Santa Fe area as an airport location is due to open soon (they have the concession rights, just waiting on the airport to move on execution of new lease/concession.
