I confirmed a rental of a standard size suv and a pickup time. When I arrived to pick up the car, I was told fhere were no suvs and no gas cars. (I could wait 7-8 hours to see if any come in.) Mine was a one-way rental to drive my elderly parents - road trip. I had never driven an electric car and had no warning to plan charging stops on my route. This felt like a bait and switch and is unacceptable.
Provide name tags for your agent's & before and after the rentals the vehicles should be inspected while the customers are present.....

Horror movie. There were no cars available. No one wanted to be responsible. Hertz tried to charge 2x the price. Kayak never responded to phone calls, emails, chat messages or messages via the website. Hertz made me move to 3 other locations where they might had cars. It was not true. I spent tons on money on Ubers. Then they told me to wait one more day to pick up the car. I waited and spent one extra night in Chicago. No cars again! Worst experience ever and lack of professionalism from both Hertz and Kayak. Absolute nightmare!

I had an old Ford. :( with a few minor issues. The team at hertz handled it very well. I will definitely work with them again (was not my first rental with this team on Clark Street)
The rent process is simple, easy, and fast. The staff are friendly. Very good. The return process is also super easy and fast. The only thing I feel bad is that this car is pretty noisy. I think it should do tire balance and tire rotation. I was so concerned about the noise and I almost drove back to ask for exchanging the car.

Anonymous, Dec 2024

I was overall not impressed. The car I received had gum stuck to the center console which was gross. After I returned the car, I received a call saying that there’s a “large crack that goes halfway across the windshield.” When I asked again how large the crack was because I didn’t see a crack while driving, the agent said the crack was barely visible. I explained that I did not notice a crack nor did it happen while I was driving. When I dropped the car off at 4:30 PM, the rental place was closed. I truly believe this crack either happened with the last driver and I was not informed about it when I picked the car up. Or it happened after I dropped it off. Despite this, the agent said I’m responsible for it and will need to cover the cost. Very unhappy about that.
