Shuttle provided fast and convenient service both to and from airport. My arrival flight, and subsequent pickup, was delayed for hours, but it didn't impact my car rental at all. Drop off procedure was quick and efficient and staff was friendly through the whole process.

I flew on 7/19/24 - the day of the global IT outage. My flight was delayed 4 times, then cancelled, then we re-booked a flight at a different airport, and then we missed that plane and had to re-book again at the last minute. We had to fly to a different airport which would require a 2.75 hour drive to our destination. Fortunately, we arrived around 9:30 pm so we thought it wouldn't be too bad. Even given all of those inconveniences, do you know what the WORST part of our day was? Dealing with the staff at the Hertz desk. Manipulation, lies, and unnecessary delays. I was traveling with a child, and trying to ensure her safety while she laid down on a couch along the wall, waiting for me while I waited and waited and waited in line. BUT there were only a couple of people in the line! The wait was because staff spent an ENORMOUS amount of time with each customer, trying to deceive them and upsell them. When it was finally my turn, the staff did a bait-and-switch with me. Then he told me I couldn't upgrade. Then he told me I could only upgrade if I paid for the reserved car as well. Then he lied to me about my car insurance. Then he priced out a car for $85/day for 3 days and presented me with a written bill for $600.00. I asked for a copy of it for my records and he refused. My 7 year old granddaughter repeatedly walked over to me, sleepy-eyed and asked, 'what is taking SO LONG Grammy?' The staff made me leave the line, go and make another reservation and only then would he allow me to book a car rental. We finally left there AFTER 11:00 PM - to begin our 2.75 hour drive to our destination. It was an extraordinary abuse of a customer, and I will NEVER use Hertz again. I was not able to ever cancel the original reservation: K9242146653. The staff told me reservations cannot be cancelled and it didn't matter because you only get charged when you pick up the car. He said you could make 10 reservations and you wouldn't get charged for them if you don't pick up the car. Would you please ensure that this is correct as they were very deceitful and I can't trust anything they said. Please make sure that I am only being charged for the actual car I rented. It was a 2024 Hyundai Kona, license TN 736BMPZ. The new reservation number was #K92430569D0. Thank you.

Pros:

Drop off was difficult and unclear. There was only a small sign saying that budget was closed and to return car to avis. this should have been told to me at the time of pickup to avoid complications catching my flight

Cons:

they should have disclosed that they would not be "open" during my return hours and how to return the vehicle to prevent issues when trying to catch my flight after spending 30 minutes driving around the rental area and airport trying to figure it out for myself

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

I rented a convertible to drive away from my wedding to our reception. They called me 10 minutes before pickup and said “whoever rented the convertible didn’t bring it back last night.” Upon calling them a second time and speaking to another representative, he informed me they never have convertibles, so whoever spoke to me the first time lied to me. Then he told me they couldn’t help me find the convertible at another local Enterprise and that they wouldn’t honor my Kayak prices. I spent over an hour ON MY WEDDING DAY on hold and talking to various clueless, helpless, hand-wringing local and corporate Enterprise employees. Long story short, we had to rent a convertible from Alamo and they were *AWESOME*, but it ended up being triple the price. Stay away from Enterprise. They’re hapless.

Pros:

Drop off was easy

Cons:

The first car was so smoky that the family we rented it for, with two young children, could hardly stand the smell. They traded that car in for another one at the coast and that car was dirty (in a pandemic, when the car should have been sanitized) and also smoky.

Tatiana, June 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

the pick up / drop off was easy

Cons:

it was my first time renting vie enterprise and i must say, it was such a disappointment for a few reasons: 1. the car was not clean :( - this is always important, but definitely during covid...but unf full mess inside the car, back seat with candy / sand, and front dash board was frankly really filthy 2. there were signs saying no smoking, yet the car was full of smoke (which we all know lingers and thus was in the car all weekend) 3. there was no washer fluid which we discovered during a long drive in the mountains when we desperately needed it 4. the bright lights malfunctioned often (also not ideal at night amidst windy roads in the mountains) 5. there was Auto Brake warning light pop on a couple of times 6. and finally, during check in - no masks worn (amidst covid) and this paired with how dirty the car was inside, it was just clear that cleanliness and safety (re covid) are not a priority Super disappointed :(. Though this was the cheapest option for a weekend rental, i will happily pay a bit more to another company to receive a different experience.

Budget customer service told me that a shuttle would arrive to pick me up from dealership. None arrived. Called multiple times. No way to speak directly to the Raleigh location on Glenwood avenue.. Even customer service could not reach them. Took an Uber, and excuse was they had had no phone for several days. Location also hard to access, inside a crowded mall. Car smelled terrible- tons of sickly sweet “car freshener” trying to mask stale cigarette odor.

Very hard to find location, and the first employee was incredibly unhelpful. Told us they only had mini vans when we could visibility see jeep car keys on the hook. When asked they finally gave us the jeep we booked. Took over an hour to get our car.

We were not told prior to picking up our rental that there would be a large deposit along with the price of the vehicle. This would have not been an issue had we been informed so we could be prepared. They would also not let us split the payment on two cards. Therefore not being able to pick up the rental before they closed. Like I said, it wouldn’t have been an issue had we been informed prior to driving to the rental location.

Pros:

One manager seemed helpful

Cons:

Priceline booked us at an off-site location which was closed when we landed. Avis and Priceline both blamed each other when a $50 no-show fee was assessed and neither would take responsibility for assessing or removing it. Priceline did the same thing on another future rental so we cancelled it. We will no longer use Kayak for rental cars.
