I was assured no more than 24 hours after dropping off vehicle I would get the $200 credit card deposit bank. It is now over 48 hours and the money still isn't on my card. everything else was fine but this deposit process is broken and deters me from trusting and using Dollar again.

Since the car manual doesn't make it clear...tell the customer how to open the gas tank flap. The manual refers to a button on the driver's door...eventually (!!!) we figured out you just push on the flap and it opens. Otherwise, pretty smooth!

The check in agent was dealing with a frustrated customer ahead of us. We had to wait quite a while but more shocking was his rudeness and frustration back at the customer. Our check in was fine however we received a vehicle that reeked of cigarettes. It was disgusting and one of my kids has asthma and it really bothered him. We were traveling with friends who rented from Hertz. We shouldn't have had to pay more to receive better treatment and a cleaner vehicle.

The vehicle had the engine check light on, the representative at budget did not tell me about this. There were very minimum cars at this location (no options) The engine check notification popped up in every 5 seconds, irrespective of cancelling it every time. Imagining cancelling the notification all throughout the 8 hour drive. The cruise control on the vehicle did not work, so had to manually keep check of my speed through the standard speed meter as the digital speed meter had the engine check notification on it, in every 5 seconds. The car had damages on it. The budget representative was tricking me in buying their insurance, saying it was mandatory to get it. I couldn’t do anything about it because I had an international flight to catch in LA. This was the most screwed up experience I ever had. It was a disaster.

I was quoted one price and forced to pay another. The vehicle was filthy, I was assured since that wasn't my fault I wouldn't have trouble returning it. WRONG! The employees at the Houston location I returned it to called me a liar toy face when I tried to tell them what was told to me and that I didn't make the mess! They demanded I do their job for them, go and vacuum it or they were going to charge me $250 to do it. I did, and they still treated me poorly. I will never deal with with Hertz again! Worst customer service ever!

The pick-up location was wrong. They offered a price 3x greater than the original quote to fix and 2x-2.5x more than the neighbors, range dependent on which neighbor. Fun part, the original pick-up location was not even in the correct state, and we verified the original quote. We believe it was a bait and switch. We would not go with Hertz again.

I booked a Hertz car rental and got sucked in by the low promo rates. Unfortunately, I missed noticing the pickup location was offsite from the airport and at least a 20+ minute Uber or Lyft ride. Not good. Especially since that office had limited hours and was closed upon my arrival at the airport. There was no way of picking up the rental since the office was closed. Calling customer support was useless. Hertz representatives at the airport weren't helpful either. I ended up renting from a competitor and was lucky to get their last available vehicle at the airport. Now I'm stuck with a late cancellation fee because the reservation wasn't canceled in time to meet their rules for a vehicle I never picked up or drove.

Hertz has charged me about $1500 more than the contracted Kayak price. My 22 son picked up the car at the Tucson airport instead of the Speedway location. The Hertz agent NEVER told him to go to the other location, but rather created a new contract for a much higher daily rate. I have asked Hertz to refund some of the difference, but they refuse. They took advantage of a young renter, and I will never use Hertz again. Robbery!

I had to worst experience with this transaction. I entered the dates for my rental incorrectly. I needed Thursday to Sunday. I made a mistake and entered Friday to Sunday. I realized it right away and tried to contact you. Of course there was no way to contact you. Since you book through PriceLine I finally got in touch with them. They were NO help at all. I simply wanted to add one more day to my rental. I wanted to PAY MORE MONEY to add one more day and they would not help me at all. Their only optioins were to cancel and pay a cancellation fee of $49 or keep the rental, create a new booking for the one day, pick up that car, bring that car back the next day and pick up the other car. Absolutely ridiculous! I ended up just cancelling. And I will never use your service again. I'd rather pay more than go through this again.

The price was good for a day rental split between the seven of us using the mini-van for the day.

I've rented many cars before and the staff person was pretty blase and didn't explain pretty normal things to explain well. For example, as he handed me the receipt he just, here's your total, with the deposit.". Now, I know how a deposit for a rental works, but let's say you didn't, let's say it's your first time. What I've heard other associates say in the past is, "You'll notice a deposit of $200. You'll see this on your credit card balance, but once you return the car, this amount will go back on your credit card with 1-3 business days, so no worries, we aren't charing you $200! This line here is your total." It's little details like that. Another example: He offered us the option of two different models of mini-vans. Not being familiar with mini-vans I asked for his opinion/suggestion. He said, "I'll put you the Chrysler,". I said, "Oh, any particular reason?" He just kinda looked at me and said, "Well, it's a mini-van, like you wanted, right?" Um...I was hoping to hear, "Oh, I like the Chrysler better because it has more leg room," or "they're both comparable vehicles, so I think you'll like either," SOMETHING! He totally didn't have customer service 101 down. It did seem he was there by himself, in which case he could say, "I'm sorry I'm going through this so quickly with you, I'm here alone today, and I have all these people to help, so I'm just trying to help you as efficiently as possible,". He just didn't seem like he understood customer serivce. Also, I notice that almost all rental car places don't disclose important info to check BEFORE you rent: Cost of adding a driver (even though when I called I said I wanted to do that and they said, "yes we can do that) but price was never mentioned, can you leave your own vehicle there or not (not all rental cars will allow that!), etc. This is a general complaint to the enitre industry.
