They didn’t have the vehicle we booked. We went to the first lot at the airport but realized we had to take a cab to a different hertz dealer. Then they didn’t have the correct vehicle. They were going to send us to a third hertz, but we ended up settling for a different vehicle.

The office texted me while I was in the air flying to my destination and informed me they were closing the office and had no car to lend me. It put me in a precarious situation as I was traveling with my parents who are in their 90s.

They had no cars I had to take an electric car it felt like it was bait and switch. I’ve never used an electric vehicle and no one showed me how to do it. Frustrating and had to go the charging station 3x the first two times apparently I wasn’t doing it right. Had to ask someone else who was at the station how to do it.

Receptionist was extremely rude. There was no car available for me even though a reservation was a made. She was quick to let me know there was nothing she could do for me. She didn’t even try and cancel for me but instead kept directing me to call a 1-800 number to cancel or else I would still get charged. Very rude lady.

Pros:

Not much, the manager in San Marcos, CA Las Posas branch is a disgrace. She has the customer service skills of a Bad Lawyer. After spending vlose to $1,000 in last 30 days she decided she didn’t like me because I reminded her of her ex husband who left her for another man.

Cons:

Professional behavior, friendly, let’s make customer happy attitude.

Pros:

Car was what we needed and had great safety features.

Cons:

Pick up was slow. You had to wait outside and hope someone in the office would see you. Maybe adding a door bell/buzzer would help speed up the process.

Pros:

Staff was friendly

Cons:

Having my rental car ready and not over booking. I had a reservation for my rental and we had to wait over an hour along with 15 people ahead of me for them to bring other rentals from another location. Delayed my trip and I had a sick child with me. Horrible experience. I will never rent from that location again. Didn’t even try to compensate for the inconvenience they caused all the customers!!

Budget was great. I requested a vehicle to be picked up @ the airport. KAYAK reserved a vehicle @ a Budget location far away. The airport Budget Manager was able to change our reservation and rent us a van with the same discounts. Budget was great; Kayak sucks!!!

I actually returned my car in another city. When we arrived I was told there would be an extra $300 charge. But the charge was nowhere on my contract or reservation. The representative in the parking lot told me to ask at the counter, which was mobbed. Fortunately, a representative at the desk agreed to help and eventually said there would be no additional charge, except for my deserved one hour late fee :)

Didn't realize location was so far from airport. Had to pay for 2 cab rides to get there and back. Cost $40. Each way

Cons:

Upon completion of my reservation with kayak, it gave me a complete price w/ taxes and fees included. Upon arrival to puck up rental they charged me an additional $7 sighting only the base price is guaranteed and that additional fees could be charged that kayak was unaware of and i would need to take it up with kayak.com. If this is true, i could not find any disclaimer on kayak website to the fact. If its says s total with taxes and fees then that should be the price with no suprise charges upon arrival.
