Easy process. Only issue we had was when we were trying to move our pick up time to earlier the person I spoke with told us he couldn't because Hertz is not open on Sunday and we would have to drop the car off on Monday. We've rented from this location and dropped off before so we just cancelled online and rebooked there as well. Not sure what that person was looking at, but had no issues dropping off yesterday.

The pickup location was wrong. It was not at the airport. Had to take a Lyft to get the car and pay to drop off at a different location (Lambert airport). Staff at both places very harried and insisted I made the booking wrong.

When I arrived to pick up my reserved car I was told it was canceled and wascalled and left voice message. But I didn't get any voice messages or any cancelation emails. Because of this all my plans changed, I had to pay almost double price to rent car from different place.

When we Google searched for Hertz car rental, we specifically put in “STL airport” and never realized we were redirected to another location in STL a half hour away! After taking the airport shuttle to the airport location, we had to Uber ($32 the day we arrived and another $42 to return the rental and get ourselves back to the airport) to the other location - Green Park. Upon arrival there we were told the Tesla we preordered and prepaid for was not available, but we could have the half cleaned Nissan Sentra. We got in and the interior was still wet- eww! Throughout our trip, we continued to receive email tutorials on how to drive our Tesla rental, as if to rub salt in the would that you BAIT AND SWITCHED us with the rental! We will never use your company again!!

Requested pick up at STL airport @5:00 PM. Kayak made the reservation at an "off site" Hertz location (not at airport)... that closed at 5PM. There was no "heads up" that the reservation was at a different location than I requested... you would have had to look up the address. When I took the Hertz shuttle to the airport rental office, I was told that the airport lot was out of cars and that the offsite location was closed until the following morning. I was stuck in the airport with no car! Since I was meeting customers and staying out of town.... this was a major issue! Kayak should have highlighted that the rental location they selected was different than I requested... and NEVER should have booked the pick up at the time the office closed!

Return was a breeze. They had a good selection of vehicles that matched my choice. After getting the car, it was quick getting out. Shuttle was fast and efficient. Picking up the car, there was about an 1.5-2 hour wait in line, then they rented my vehicle to another person as well so we had to go back inside.

Everyone was great. They called prior to pick up to verify the type of vehicle I needed and to give me their operating hours. The vehicle was clean and we had no issues with it for the trip. I don’t rent cars often, but this location was so very kind and just plain nice. If I ever need to rent a car I will go out of my way to rent from them. Abby was the best.

We wanted a Tahoe, they gave us a 15 passanger dirty van. There was nobs missing or broken, large rips in the seats, crusted buggers all over the passanger side visor, and the driverside 2nd row vents. There was no spare tire. When we asked to change to a smaller vehicle the attendant stated the crack windshield was not ok to rent...when we returned they said he lied and they where rented. The return attendant was rude, and said rudly after hearing our complaint "well what do you want me to do about it". We will stick with Avis from now on.

Rented online after my car was totaled in 9’ of water. They allowed me to rent at 22 and just required a fee which I was willing to pay. However when I got there well before my pick up time to get the car they ended up flagging my ID and would not allow me to have a car. I have a clean record and again, my age was known before allowing me to book. I was left without a car for a week and had to take off work for the whole week.

1. Vehicle showed Oil Maintenance Required but I was told it was safe to drive. Not true as I had to exchange the vehicle in the middle of my trip. 2. Had a query about a Toll charge, was told it was a vehicle I had not rented. Then was told that a charge would need to be processed to update the list of vehicles I had driven. 3. Replacement vehicle had Expired Registration

Pick up & Drop off was as near perfect as possible.

I was not thrilled with the vehicle but that was NOT Alamo's fault. It was the make and model of the pickup. (I would not buy this truck). I think the exit of lot could be marked better but it was not horrible.

Nice sized SUV (Ford Escape) given I was hauling my 1-year-old around along with several others. The experience with Alamo was very nice as they got me in and out quickly which I cannot say enough positive things about given I was lugging a baby, car seat, pack n' play, backpack, and diaper bag all by myself.

Nothing really. GPS built-in would have been nice but my smartphone wedged near the dash did the trick.
