Improper maintenance and safety checks on my rental car ruined my trip and required me to make more expensive travel arrangements. I picked up the car about noon the day before a 700 mile one way drive. The car looked generally OK, but there was damage and evidence of windshield replacement which looked poorly done--lots of adhesive sealant residue on the windshield and even the driver's dashboard area. It wasn't raining so I didn't test the wipers or washer fluid, which was my mistake. The day of departure was rainy and I left when it was still dark. I turned the wipers on and they immediately made it almost impossible to see through the windshield, especially on the driver's side. I don't know if the wipers were old, or if the windshield had adhesive on it, or both, but the windshield went almost opaque-white, and it was especially bad when passing under street lights. I stopped at first opportunity and thoroughly cleaned the windshield and wipers, and that made enough of a difference to proceed with the trip once it got a bit brighter outside. Unfortunately, about 2 hours into the trip, on the highway, another problem manifested--the washer fluid motor didn't work. I couldn't tell if it worked earlier, when I tried using it in the rain. Semi trucks were passing and creating clouds of mist and road grime which obscured the windshield, and without washer fluid, the wipers just made things worse. Ultimately, I returned the car having lost many hours of travel time, so I had to purchase last minute airfare and buy luggage. Hertz did give me a voucher for the cost of the rental.

Spent multiple hours at the location. I was the only person waiting to pickup my car. I had two small children in 30degree weather. First the front desk didn’t even know what level car she was looking for and literally ran around outside for 30min trying to see which cars had a third row. Then provided me a decent car, that was satisfactorily clean. Had me walk out to a locker and grab car seats. The kids car seats were absolutely disgusting and damp because they are stored outside not in climate control. I pack all our luggage (5 bags and children items) and install the car seats in freezing weather (we are from Florida). We finally make it to the exit gate ready to go (we have family dinner plans). The exit gate teller explains that the vehicle provided was incorrect and belonged to another location? Then forced us to reverse back out of the exit (now other cars waiting to leave) and return to the desk. Upon return we are offered an upgrade, silly me for thinking it would be because of our inconvenience. The teller then attempted to have me sign for almost double the cost. I immediately refused and expressed my frustration. The teller then hastily grabbed another car (I was shocked she knew exactly what to grab this time) and parked it behind our existing vehicle, shouted the keys are in it, and went back inside without a single apology. I moved over all the luggage and dirty car seats to a now dirty vehicle she likely grabbed from the return line. Exterior and interior were clearly just returned. We are now significantly late for our dinner plans and my children are freezing and upset, We leave this location now after spending most of our afternoon here that should have taken 30min at most. Corporate tells us that only the individual location can help us with pricing since the car seats should be burned and trashed and the situation we dealt with. Surprise surprise the location has no direct number and just redirects back to the call center. We are now back in Florida and will NEVER rent from Hertz at the CLE airport ever again.

I rented through a third party, which was not clearly marked. Rentalcars.com. Our flight was cancelled due to torrential rains in New York City. We had to cancel our trip. Nevertheless, Rentalcars.com charged us the full amount. No recourse through Thrifty. I will think twice before using Kayak again,

Pros:

The drop off went fine. When I told the agent that we turned the car into about our horrible experience picking up the car, he deducted $10 off of the remaining fees.

Cons:

The pick up was the worst we have ever experienced. From the time that we arrived at the Thrifty counter until we were given the car, it was almost an hour. While we did receive a free upgrade, the wait was totally unacceptable. They gave us a coupon for 15% off of our NEXT Thrifty rental which probably should have just applied to the current rental.

2nd time renting from Avis. Usually use Enterprise. Take like 15 minutes to pick up your car. 1st rental was ok baring the issue with picking the car up. This time the attendant again said she had a car in the bay and to give her 5 minutes. 15 minutes later she said she was upgrading me to a chevy impala. The vehicle had over 20 k miles, did not have the USB port I requested, had so many dings and scratches I had to take 10 pics to document. I decided that the vehicle was not worth the rate per the condition. I had made my reservation on Kayak 48 hours prev but the attendant said they had no other vehicle for me to rent. I ended up having to go to Enterprise and lucky they had a compact Fiat available... that was clean and only had 1k miles. Also Kayak.. the vendor that you contracted with for damage insurance charges for 2 day when the rental company charges you for 1 day... Kind of a racket.. Get a better vendor!

The process was great although I was a little concerned since I got the damage insurance through Kayak and Avis would not have that in their records - general concern since I've had rentals seem to accuse me of every problem with the car that wasn't identifiable on checkout.

Cons:

Mileage (miles per gallon) was much lower than stated for the model (~20%)
