The pickup was slow, took awhile because there was only 1 computer working and very confusing. The agent actually took a call during my pick up! I also had to go through the reservation process even though I prepaid. Drop off was really easy!

There was one lady serving at reception and also cleaning cars and weekends are busy. I had requested rental car from 5/18/23@12 noon to 5/20/23@2pm but was told if I brought car at 2 they will be closed and I would be charged up to Monday 5/22/23. So I brought car back @ 11.50 but the 2 extra hour which were charged per hour was not returned. It was like it’s a crime to book through third part instead of direct- are you sure kayak is permitted to book for Hertz!!

I was given a pick up address of 268 W. Mitchell Road. I called an Uber from the airport to Mitchell Road. Hertz had not been located at this location for a year and a half. I had to catch an Uber back to the airport where I went to the Hertz counter there and got my car. I wasted $107 on Uber not to mention the hour and 10 minutes it took to go get it. Terrible job by Hertz and kayak of not communicating. How can Hertz move a year and a half ago and kayak is still sending people to this location?

The agency claimed not to have received our order. Once shown proof of its existence, the car provided had been smoked in despite my wife’s request for a non-smoking vehicle. Hertz exchanged the car, but the replacement vehicle was in poor condition and rattled consistently. This was a poor rental experience and not at all consistent of my past service from Hertz.

I was charged twice for the rental. Once when I booked the rental through CarRentals.com, I paid $301.08 and was told I had to pay a remaining $86.01 at pickup. When I picked up the vehicle, I was charged a full $387.99.

Communication was awful. My pickup was at 12:00 but the rental place was closed at 12:04. Lines were long since I had to travel 1/2 hour extra to pick up at a different rental. The small signs were difficult to see when driving by yourself. If there is another alternative for transportation I am taking that.

They called and cancelled on us telling us they had no car for us, even though we reserved it through you and paid for it. We passed on reserving cars at the airport because we got a confirmation from kayak that we had a car through this agency. By the time they called to tell us they really didn’t have any cars and don’t like it when websites like yours keep reserving them, it was too late for us to get a car at the airport. They were all gone. We ended up having to spend the night in Cincinnati at our own expense and ended up renting a car through another company to be able to get home the next day.

I waited over an hour from the time I arrived until the vehicle was ready. When I got the vehicle it strongly smelled like cigarette smoke. That smell was there the entire time. Thankfully my son took detailed pictures of the vehicle when we picked it up. At drop off, they tried to claim that we were responsible for existing damage to the vehicle. We had the pictures to prove the damage was already there. Overall a bad experience.
