I went to pick up the car with my kayak confirmation number and there weee NO cars available- Jayak never checked with Avis. I had a very very ill child to transport…. I was overwhelmed and this made it untenable

They gave me a pickkup time that was the closing time of that location, so when I arrived to pick up a 7:00pm car at 7:20, they were closed. The individual there yelled at me for being late, and told me to call customer service, which I did. Customer service assured me that I could return and pick up the car at 7 the next morning instead. I asked if there would still be a car, because I know there is a window period for most car companies. He assured me there would be. The next morning, I was informed that I had lost my reservation because it was cancelled by the company when I failed to show up in the 2-hour "window period" from 7-9pm (when they were closed). Because I had lost my reservation, they tried to charge me $500 for a 4-day rental that previously had been $192. They yelled at me again for having shown up "late" the night before because they work 12-hour days and can't sit around waiting for people to come get their cars. It was only after I refused to pay it (because I had not been authorized to spend that amount) that they adjusted it down to $250. It was an awful and stressful experience.

Pros:

The car was like new, no issues.

Cons:

Why was I allowed to book a drop-off location that was closed on Memorial Day? The person at the Avis counter made ME call Avis to find a solution. The car also didn't have a full tank of gas.

Pros:

The pickup spot was changed to a spot much further away from the one I had booked. And that site closed 2 hours earlier than my rental ended, requiring me to make another trip back this morning to drop off the keys.

Cons:

This location was weird. Staff were in street clothes; no uniform or uniformity. I wasn’t told what kind of car I was assigned just that it was on the second floor of the parking garage. I wasn’t instructed how to get to the second floor of the parking garage where the car was located. I was told I’d need a ticket to get out but since they weren’t able to provide one, I’d just need to let the security guard know so they’d let me out. And I was instructed upon returning the car to bring the ticket from entering the garage and to take a picture of the mileage and fuel level so that they could use that instead of going to check themselves. I would only rent from here again if it was the only location left to rent a car from in the entire city.

Questionable Brown (coffee?) stain all over the ceiling of the car. Cdr smelled like cigarettes. EZ-pass stopped working halfway through the trip. Most expensive rental I’ve ever had, and it was the most disgusting so far. And I’ve beeb renting for awhile.

Pros:

The staf was very kind and helpful. they were exceptionally trying to provide a professional service.

Cons:

1- i have reserved a car for a certain price through the web. but on pickup i realized it is not including any type of basic insurance. ended up doubling the rent price i intended to pay. this has made the whole deal very expensive and worthwhile. 2- the car was not as clean.

Feb 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

People are friendly and helpful. Usually a quick in and out and everything is digital. Car got dinged somehow and they took me for $500 on some minor scrapes to the wheel well that are barely noticeable, but that's to be expected in a rental car honestly.

Cons:

No EZPass. Not having EZPass is trash for a long drive esp anything in this area b/c there are tolls everywhere. Hyundai Sonata for a full size car is a bit ehhh. Car kinda sucked even though it was brand new.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

My reservation was for 12:00, but when I arrived at the office the location was closed despite the sign saying the office would be open. I received no communication about an early closing from Enterprise or Kayak. There were two other customers outside with the same problem. To make matters worse, a car of 3 Enterprise employees were out front of the store and seriously peeled out when asked to help. I had to take a taxi to the airport and pay much more money for a last minute rental. I asked if Enterprise would comp the difference and was told I could file for up to $50 compensation, which isn't close to the extra amount I spent.

6.0 Okay

KAYAK

Cons:

The car was supposed to have been picked up at the Philadelphia airport. But, in reality, it was at another nearby Enterprise sight. This caused the cost for the car to be much higher than the original quote !! This was not the fault of Enterprise, but of the booking agent Subtle deception !!

Because they computer was down I had to wait 2 hours when I had a reservation. Then they gave me an “upgrade” of an EV, but no instructions about why that meant. Just rushed me through the process to get me out of there. I wound up spending more on charging the car than renting it. Not to mention the hours of time I lost trying to find places to charge, stations that were out of order, the six apps I had to download to my phone, and the actual hours I wasted charging the car instead of spending time with my family - the reason I rented the vehicle in the first place. When I told them I was upset they said there was nothing they could do until the rental was over. Now I have to wait 5-7 days to see IF I can get a refund. The Hertz location was in a cold parking garage with benches and 3 inch bulletproof glass so I couldn’t hear half the things they were talking about. Worst rental experience I’ve ever had. I’ll take the train next time. This was horrible.

Pros:

Pickup was a little bit of a wait but it was Center City on a Friday afternoon, so it was understandable.

Cons:

Upon return I was hassled by a member of the hotel valet staff when dropping off the vehicle; the valet staff thought it would be funny to insist that I was in the wrong place and there was no Hertz at this location. I was frustrated by this experience and informed the attendant at the counter.

When I rented this car I didn't realize the pick up location was off site from Philadelphia International. I immediately canceled the reservation.Though the rental fee has not been charged to my credit card, a pending fee has lingered for 13 days. It needs to come off immediately.

Cons:

Being from California, I was completely unfamiliar with central Philadelphia so when the drop off address is WRONG and also doesn't specify that it's not a Hertz, but instead a Marriott valet, that can cause quite the stress before a flight. Needless to say, I got lost. At drop off I was rushed and left my pillow in the back seat unknowingly- you would think the man who took the car would say something to me, but he didn't..oh well.

Just an awful experience. I had prepaid for my rental at Hertz a month in advance. I was using the car to go out of state for a vacation. When I went to pick up my rental, I was told there was no car available. Then...I was made to call the 800 number to get a refund!! The rental agent at the Wood St. hertz location are beyond rude!! They offered me no help at all!! I ended up getting a rental through Enterprise. Hertz has lost me as a customer!!!
