Philip, May 2021
Pros:
The pick up location (And drop off) were not at the airport, but at a remote location that required us to Uber to that location from the airport for an additional expense.Cons:
Hertz itself was fine, but Kayak should have highlighted that the rental location was not on the airport property.8.0 Very good

Cons:
Final billing. In the final bill email, I was charged the weekly rate for the daily rate and had to rush back to the rental car desk to get adjusted after I had gotten to my airport gate. I could not get a person on the phone to help me and had to go back in person. It was stressful.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
Rolinda (sorry if I misspelled) was very friendly, helpful and professional, much appreciated!!Cons:
Had to pay $10 extra for a vehicle that better suited our needs, just felt that the vehicle I reserved was closer to the one I had to pay the upgrade fee on.. aside from that it was a great experience.2.0 Poor
