It's advised to drive with caution in the Tonawanda town center due to frequent instances of careless bicycle and pedestrian crossings on the roads.

Kayak’s link to Enterprise was a DEAD END - not once but 3 times. Enterprise did not have the cars Kayak indicated they had. It cost me hours to sort out including an extra 4-hour round trip to Buffalo to get the vehicle we needed through other dealers. BAD EXPERIENCE WITH KAYAK - ENTERPRISE

Pros:

The whole experience was unhappy. The least they could have done, was call me to let me know that the car I rented, was not available. I had to find a ride all the way to the car rental agency, only to find that they did not have the car that I booked.

Cons:

When I picked the car up I didn’t see that the maintenance required light was on. When I called to ask for help I was transferred to three different people. I was lastly transferred to road side assistance whom I didn’t ask for and was scolded by them for bothering them. I ultimately called my own mechanic at 9 o’clock at night who helped me with the light.

I had an AWFUL experience with the Hertz group in the Niagara Falls NY region. 1) I knew Wednesday, the day before that I was going to be delayed by an hour picking up the car on Thursday, and tried 6 times to call. Several times the line hung up, one time it said it was busy and the last time a message said they were closed for the day (an hour before published closing time at 5pm) 2) when I arrived, I discovered that it was nothing but a rented beat-up desk in the corner of car repair office (Amherst Automotive) with NO Hertz staff on site. The car repair shop, of course, who rent to Hertz, took no responsibility for their customer service, nor did I want them too. But I HAD NO WAY TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF THAT SITE! Finally, one of the repair shop managers called a number for the Hertz general manager and the Hertz rep said he would be there in 30 minutes. It took at least 45. While I was waiting another Hertz customer came in with the exact same problem I was having. She left though. When the Hertz rep finally arrived, the young man apologized and said that it was Hertz management who was stretching 3 workers over 4 offices and that they only turned up when a customer was expected. He gave me a dispensation to not return the car full as atonement for the trouble. RETURNING THE CAR WAS EVEN WORSE. I had to return the car on Sunday afternoon instead of Monday, but again, I could reach no one by phone, and there was NO Hertz drop box, and the number posted on door by Hertz gave a number that didn't answer when they were closed (I also happened to know that it doesn't answer when they are open either!) I called 4 different Hertz numbers, one I had been given by the Hertz attendant on Thursday, the one listed in the Hertz Niagara website, the one at the Niagara Falls Airport (that one the Hertz attendant said always worked---evidently not). Finally I called the national one, and was online two different times, waiting for a total of two hours standing there outside the closed repair shop. While we were waiting with awful wait music and advertisements blaring, (miraculously for a Sunday afternoon) one of the repair shop's employees came out from the building. He called HIS manager, who gave him permission to put the keys on the Hertz desk along with a note from me. Meanwhile, when I DID did finally get a live person...somewhere in the Philippines I think, that person didn't seem to understand what I was needing ("What do I do with the keys???") and she shunted me off to another person for a 1/2 hour's wait. The second Philippine lady finally said she had sent an email to the Hertz Niagara telling them that the keys were on the desk. I had taken a video of the car just to be safe, and took a picture of the keys and the note and the rental agreement for the same reason. I have NEVER EVER had such terrible service or seen such a completely unprepared system even in the back country of South America or the outer Greek Islands, where I've rented cars.
