When we got to the car rental place they said there wasn't any cars, we explained that we booked through Expedia and the last was very rude to us. We then booked through hertz and had brilliant customer service and a lovely car. I'd highly recommend Hertz and will be avoiding dollar.Reviewed 21 Feb 2024

Pros:We arrived with 4 large bags weighing over 250lbs only to be told they were “out of cars” and they had no idea when more would be available. Didn’t matter at all that we had an existing reservation for an SUV. This caused us major disruption to our trip and a lot of stress. It forced us to take an expensive Uber to our destination and rent a car at a different location at a much higher prices. Will not be booking with Kayak or Dollar again. Truly awful experience.Cons:Keeping reserved cars on the lot. Having decent customer service or even basic humanity skills.Reviewed 22 Mar 2021

Cons:We booked through Expedia. My ratings are, by default, "Poor" because we had to cancel our trip due to unforseen complications, we tried multiple times to get ahold of Expedia, and each of the affiliated sites for car rentals. However, after an accumulated 5 hours on the phone and multiple dropped calls, I gave up and said goodbye to nearly $300.Reviewed 18 Feb 2021
