Terrible divide between corporate and the people who actually rent the cars. Spent hundreds of dollars of our own money for two separate taxis because of a broken down car and we were treated like animals by the manager at Bordeaux airport. Go elsewhere for a rental because if something wrong happens it's a bit of a nightmare.

Due to flight and baggage delays, y the time we reached rental counter our car was gone. Agent found us a car but would not honor original price. Ended up spending almost double - $1,200 vs $600. Can Kayak help here, I've already sent my ckmpkaint directly to Budget and am awaiting their response.

Long queue at Bordeaux airport with a time consuming check in process. Even then the car was not available despite reserved time so had to wait. However they did finally give another car which was a grade up.

We made a last minute reservation for an automatic transmission car and they were great, specifically Aurielle who helped us was amazing. Despite not reserving it as such, we were able to pickup the car in the city and drop off at the airport for no additional fee, and got to add a GPS (which was a lifesaver). It made our last day a great one!

Charged me $130 to clean the car at drop off. Over years and years, I’ve never been charged for cleaning. Had I known, I would have pulled off and vacuumed it myself for $5. Didn’t want to miss my flight, or I’d have done it. The staff were great, but the cleaning fee is completely out of the ordinary.

Because of an error on Kayak and terrible customer service from Hertz an entire day of our honeymoon was ruined as we were stranded in rural France. We booked an automatic vehicle via Kayak. Hertz told us that wasn't true and said it would cost nearly $100 more to get a gas vehicle instead of an EV. We were told that there would be plenty of locations to charge the car with the key fob, so we said we would take the EV. Of note, the New Motion App we were told to download to locate charging stations did not work. As we drove to our appointment at Remy Martin in Cognac, the vehicle lost its charge very quickly. After our tour we went to 2 different locations to charge the vehicle, except that both of these locations required subscriptions so we could not charge our car here. The two closest New Motion stations were outside the range of the car. We tried to call the rental agency multiple times, but each time the service hung up on us. As we looked for other locations to charge, we then called the Hertz Roadside Assistance helpline that took over an hour to get an agent. Once we finally got an agent she could not tell us where the other New Motion-compatible charging stations were. She was using google maps, the same as we were, and recommending stations that required subscriptions. Finally in a small town outside of Cognac we found a local hertz agency that was able to direct us to a small grocery store with a charging station. However it took over 4 hours to charge the vehicle to a point that we had enough range to drive it back to the agency. We missed 2 winery tours that we had booked because of this and spent an entire day of our honeymoon stuck at a grocery store in a small rural town.

Car was fine. We tried to contact customer service 10 times to inquire about making a slight modification to our reservation. We spent a few hours going back and forth with different customer service agents until they finally told us that our information was set up incorrectly, so we couldn't make changes online. Every time we spoke to someone, they tried to transfer us to the "international line", which was absolutely useless. It was just an automated line where we couldn't talk to someone. We wasted a lot of time trying to modify our reservation. Please make your international customer service better.

The staff was nice at the rental counter but could have been more helpful especially for car pick up.

They did not have the car that we rented and confirmed - Mercedes class C. They gave us a Renault Megane. The line was very long waiting for. > 40 min to pick up the car. The rental counter was convenient in the train terminal but it was difficult to find where the car was parked in 2 sep buildings

car was type we expected

they tried to charge me a different rate from the contract. Took 20 minutes to get resolved.Then they charge a lot to add second drivers. Got a flat tire, no spare, no compressor. They sent a tow truck (2.5 hours later). We had to go by taxi to local Avis office the following day to pick up replacement.

In Bordeaux the 1st Lady with whom we discussed the deal seemed to be tricky and manipulative but the 2nd one who gave us the key and guided through a concrete car leease related details was excellent and very very helpful. In Bordeaux we received amazing service: quick, efficient and very courtous.

When taking the car in Barcelona and discussing what is available things were not very clear in the beginning and seemed to be a bit tricky and overwhelming.

I made a mistake in the date of pick up and had to rent for one day prior to my official pick up time and the staff did everything possible to help make the impact of that as minimal as possible and retain the integretily of my American reservation rate saving me what could have been a thousand dollars in added costs.
