The guy who collected our keys at drop off didn’t have “Hertz” visible (open lapel was covering it), which made my wife uneasy, as he was just standing there clearly looking at us get our things out of the car. Then he came closer and spoke to us. Just a minor miscommunication we laughed about.

The office was closed when I came to pick up the car 30 min after the time of reservation. Nowhere in my trip communication was it communicated that the offices close at 4:30pm. terrible experience.

They charged me more saying that the rates are different from online and argued with me that they can not provide the car to me based on my online booking and they are not responsible for kayak booking.

Rude staff, also they charge extra 12$ for parking which doesn't make sense since you are not using their parking, just picking up the car and dropping it off. They could be more imaginative if they want to add hidden fees.

Pros:

Staff were friendly. One-way travel and central location (not airport) were great.

Cons:

Car wasn't clean (food and spilled drink under seat), body had a number of dents, scratches that weren't documented. I booked an economy car and was given a choice between two fuel-inefficient cars for a long drive. Expensive because of one-way travel.

Cons:

Kayak and Hotwire gave me a deal for a vehicle that doesn’t available. I made reservation on the web side for a full size sedan but ended up renting a full size Suv since there it’s the only option left they have. The price was much higher than expected also, $ 300 increased compare to the reservation. In short, these third parties website does poorly in updating the availability of vehicles.

Pros:

nothing. My children and I traveled for hours trying to find a solution. After being exhausted from flying across the Atlantic.

Cons:

Honoring my contract price for starters. Everyone had a different time for the store to close. If I wanted it the next day you wanted to double the price. Fortunately there was a real person at the Alamo at the airport, and she matched the rate for the same period of time. And even upgraded the car.

Pros:

The CSA tried to give us a car with 1/4 tank of gas. She said she tried to make the other customer refuel it but had no luck. As I'm not familiar with driving around downtown Toronto I refused to take the car because we werror driving to the US/Canada border to ho shopping. We evendors explained this to the CSA. She gave us another vehicle which wasn't cleaned. It took ages for someone to put wiper fluid in the car. When I received the keye there were Doritos all over the front seat. Otherwise the car was nice to drive and employees were friendly

Terrible! They didn’t accept the booking and so wouldn’t let me rent because I didn’t have a Canadian credit card. Indeed, im not Canadian so why would I have one? Do they not rent to tourists? Non-sense…

KAYAK

Pros:

The rental was cancelled because when I got there the agent produced an invoice for well over $200, including a $50 surcharge for dropping off the car at a different location, which was already supposed to be included in the original booking

Cons:

The cost of rental should exactly match the quoted rate, which was far far different. I subsequently booked through Expedia and went to Hertz, whose quotation was within $2.00 of the final invoice.

June 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

Quick registration, convenient pick-up and drop location

Cons:

Rented a Chevrolet Impala online on 17 May for a ride on June 18 for USD 57.64. Ended up paying USD 84.16 for a Nissan Altima, with the minimum insurance option and all other relevant Canadian taxes and fees. The Car Rentals page that Kayak directed me to, never gave the full picture of my options. One should be made full aeare of his optios before engaging in a contract. Just showing the tip of the iceberg and misleading customers is simply not fair...

Pros:

Friendly staff. The office was not obvious at first. It doesn't have the look of a typical rent-a-car location. But, it is also not as busy as a typical location. The car was new and clean. Also, the gas tank was full (I really hate it when they tell you to bring it back at some level less than full.)

Cons:

The pick-up process was slow.

OK...my car broke down on the highway. I am telling you this as a COMPLIMENT to Dollar. It was a brand new vehicle so not their fault at all...but...they were a huge help. When I called for help from them they were there and did all they could. I will be back for sure. However, not sure if I will ever buy a Hyundai...that's for a different review. lol
