Pros:

Pick up and drop off was not easy especially drop off. It’s in a mall and I have no idea where is car returns. I haven’t given any directions, all I have is the address. No signs whatsoever about car returns. I have to park in the mall and go around asking people. I found there office inside the mall and the lady said I can park anywhere in the mall. The lady wasn’t friendly. I’m not super happy about the drop off part but the price and car were great.

Cons:

Better communication towards pickups and drop off locations and more instructions.

Pros:

The pick-up was horrible. I was suppose to pick up the vehicle at 12 noon. I didn't get a vehicle until after 1:00pm.

Cons:

This was my first time driving a "keyless" vehicle. I wasn't given any instructions how to operate it. I had to call a friend to tell me how to start and turn off the vehicle. I'm old school and hadn't rented a vehicle in over several years.

Pros:

Absolutely nothing good

Cons:

The staff at that location was rude, disrespectful, didn't want to listen to me & said they had to charge me $200 on my credit card, so the female said she was cancelling it..... So went online to book with Avis, so I want my insurance payment back, since they wouldn't give me vehicle and treated me like I didn't know what I was talking about.....

Pros:

The staff was rude and unfriendly when arriving for pick up. Car wasn’t ready and I was made to wait and then offered a different type of car to the one I rented.

Cons:

The car could’ve been ready on time and I could’ve been given clearer and friendlier instructions. The system was messy.

I never got to rent a car with Thrifty. My booking was for collection in Washington DC in a central city location, when I got there a security guard informed me the Thrifty office had been closed for over a year. I called the help desk and the customer service agent on the phone said “our system says that office is still open, but I can see on google maps it shows ‘Permanently closed’… maybe go to the airport and see if they can help?” Which is pretty shocking from a corporate help desk. When I arrived at the airport they couldn’t help me and couldn’t hire me a car. So I went to Dollar instead. Would not recommend.

KAYAK

Pros:

I was the only customer at pickup likely due to covid and considering the circumstances the overall experience was pleasant. Dropoff wasn't as smooth but nothing worth losing sleep over.

Cons:

It seems like Avis's entire fleet at Union Station was kind of bedraggled and the location of the rental agencies within the garage is a bit depressing, which I admit is probably out of their control.

Cons:

Felt lied to because I was told my car was full but it was only half full (gas). I paid unnecessarily for gas. Plus, they didn't have the car size I wanted. Would not recommend.

Cons:

There were no cars available when I arrived to pick up. The issue was clearly affecting other travelers with reservations as well. The staff did a nice job handling the difficult situation, but it led to some lengthy delays for renters.

Booked the car online, when it came to pick it up, got a text 5 mins before arriving saying that car could not be reserved for the reservation. A complete waste of time and effort. Had to drive 50 mins back home without the rental.

Hertz said they were short on cars when I arrived at the appointed time (after they sent me a confirmation that my car was ready) but they would text me when it was ready. I never heard from them again.

Cons:

The hours of my pick up were terrible. I literally arrived at the hertz location at 6:20 and the office was closed. There was no arrangement to have a car for me. No one called me to tell me they were closing. Total inconvenience, totally amateur!! I ended up paying for an Uber to get to the airport. The Hertz women was very kind and helped me out.

Pros:

Staff is super friendly and easy,. Even though a small operation, kiosk in a hotel, it’s a nice touch to post his number on the counter while down dealing with other customers in the garage. I was able to call him and knowing someone is coming.

Cons:

The location did not have the class of car I reserved, ended up I have to pay to upgrade, this is not good for hertz the company, I will think twice when I reserve from hertz.
