I booked a 5-day for $62 as advertised. When i went to pick up they demanded a non-refundable $2,500 deposit. I said but that's more than a mortgage payment. I canceled and called Kayak to refund. Neither Mexrentcar nor Kayak agreed to refund $62. I eventually rented from Hertz at $280 with a refunded $431 deposit.

Full of surprises, they take me out the airport zone to an office where they told me that i need to pay a lot more in insurance REALLY A LOT MORE, then I refused cause that new price far away from the price i saw when reserved and I asked for they to take me back to the airport and they said they were too busy. I better made a walk in to HERTZ and get a car there.

The price at the time of booking and the price we payed when we picked up the car increased of 400%. They forced us to take the mandatory insurance (that was not specified when I booked). Then when we brought the car back, they checked it without us being there, and there was a little scratch that apparently wasn't there before, and they made us pay 400€ for this, although they will probably never paint it as it almost under the car and no one sees it. Terrible service, terrible company, will never go with them again.

My experience with hertz was fine. My experience with kayak is what I’m unhappy about. The kayak reservation didn’t go through so hertz had no record of our reservation even though we were provided a reservation number by kayak, so we had to re-reserve and luckily enough we were given A free upgrade for the inconvenience that kayak created for us on our trip.

I went to the Hertz rental place that was on the Kayak website and it wasn't the correct rental place. The place Kayak setup was in Mexico not the Untied States so I had to call Hertz to change my rental. Then the price doubles + for the rental because it was the Hertz rental at the Airport. I was not happy at all. And the car they offer me is a Dodge Journey and they are junk too many buttons in bad places, very bad design. But I take it because I am all ready leaving and hour late. No I was not happy and will look else where next time I go.

My reservation with Hertz called for the car to be picked up at San Diego Airport on Saturday at 3PM. When I got to the hertz pick up location I was told that someone had changed my pick up location to another Hertz office on the US side of Tijuana, Mexico, some 30 to 40 minutes away from the airport. Furthermore, there was no shuttle service to the alternate location. This was unsatisfactory to me and did not meet my requirements. As a result, I was forced to rent with some "no name" agency that normally services high risk customers. The rental from them was significantly more expensive, the car, although it ran well, had over 220,000 miles, had numerous scratches, a cracked windshield, worn upholstery and the cruise control didn't work. Furthermore, one of the tires kept leaking air and I had to put air in it on 3 different occasions. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Hertz or KAYAK nor will I use them in the future.

Way too expensive. Went with personal car sharing for 1/2 the cost. If major companies like Hrrtz don’t adapt, they’ll be the next Blockbuster Video store
