Riley, May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Helpful staff at the pickup, though the other customers in the office weren’t wearing masks. It was uncomfortable.

Cons:

I received a car I didn’t want or plan for, a minivan, which I don’t feel comfortable driving. I paid for a premium sedan and I received the furthest thing from it. The car was filthy when I went to load my luggage. The carpet was covered with grass and dirt. And the out-of-date aux/phone connectivity was hard to use and poor quality, making navigation stressful and my music unenjoyable.

KAYAK

Pros:

Voided rental while on site! Rented a Nissan Pathfinder gave me a Kia Sorento with body damage and stained cloth seats! Staff could not assist and offered a minivan replacement! When you pay for premium SUV rental that is what is expected!

Cons:

Staff gave me a phone number to call which was incorrect. The second phone number is Hertz.com ignore with endless menus, ultimately placing the caller in hold he’ll for ridiculous amounts of wait time. Finally spoke with a representative so heavily accented that we could barely communicate resulting in yet another phone call to the billing department! Still awaiting my credit card refund as I paid for the rental up front to save money on the crazy cost!

Pros:

I mean, I would call a Kia Sorrento a full-size SUV. We moved our luggage from a RAV-4 and it barely fit in the Kia. Moving from a crossover to a full size SUV, you expect a little bit more room. Maybe you should clear up with your partners what is considered a full-size SUV. When your site says a Nissan Pathfinder OR COMPARABLE, no one expects to show up and have to drive a Kia Sorrento.

Cons:

Stop lying to us about the cars available. I could have gotten way cheaper rates for a Kia Dorrento booking direct or using another service. Massively disappointing.
