Pros:

It was a terrible bad, they have no cars available. They told me I had to wait until there is some returning. And they could not give me any precise time. While I did program the pickup fir 9 am.

Cons:

I am not renting never again with you guys

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing. The staff, the facility, the communication was all extremely poor.

Cons:

I made a reservation only to find out that that does not matter. When I arrived, I was informed that they did not have any cars available and I was 8th in line to receive one. I asked why I was not contacted ahead of time. The manager was clueless and just shrugged. I waited for several hours and wasted money on ubers getting there and back. Never received a car or made it to my destination.

Aug 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the manager. I asked for a discount because of the tardiness of when my car was available, and he gave it to me without any issue. I had no issue with the local staff and service. It was the company's service that was poor.

Cons:

My car was delivered to me 1.5 hours after my confirmed pick up time because, per the staff, the company had overbooked the location. Very poor and unacceptable planning. I waited outside in standing in the sun for 1.5 hours.

Pros:

Nothing was good about this experience.

Cons:

I waited in line for 3 hours at the South Michigan location. There were no cars available. This location is poorly run. When I finally departed, there were still 12 people ahead of me in line waiting for cars. My reservation was at 10am. I left the South Michigan location at 12:30. I was very unhappy with the service.

Cons:

upon return i learned that the location was closed after being looted during the george floyd protests in chicago. i totally understand that these were unique circumstances, but it would have been great to get a phone call so i didn't have to drive all the way to the south side and back. i feel like that's the only real reason for them to need to contact me, and they insisted on having two contact phone numbers. this would have been a good time to use them!

Pros:

Proprietor in downtown Chicago was pleasant, and he had the car for us at the promised time (despite small current inventory). Drop-off at BWI worked perfectly, even though we dropped the car off at 2:30 am and there were no personnel on the scene. We simply drove the car onto the lot, left the keys, and were billed appropriately.

Well I am really pissed off to be honest. I ordered the car on the 6th of April 2023 and wanted it the morning after and just for that one day (7th of April). I get confirmation and everything looks good. I get to the place of pickup and the lady at the desk there tells me she has no cars and she's calling 15 other people in my same situation telling them she has no cars for them. Now that's a failing grade right there. The day is ruined for me and my family. I ask her to cancel my order because the only thing she could offer me is a car at 1 pm that day which is half the day gone and we had many things planned to see. So that wasn't going to work. I start looking for other cars to rent and I see there is plenty of cars from Hertz at ORD airport. So I ask the lady if I could just go there and pick up a car? She says she doesn't know because she had been busy calling these 15 people all morning. I would have thought that the best thing to do is to locate available cars and offer the people the option of getting their car at different locations if they don't want to wait until later that day. Anyway at that moment a guy walks passed her holding several car keys and she asks me to wait a second. She talks to him and gets a key from him. She tells me she got a car for me. So kudos to the lady for that. This saved the day for me and my family. However I wasn't told that Hertz would charge me $200 for what I can only assume is some security deposit. I hope I get that very soon. Then the day goes as planned and we had a great time. Except for the smell of hemp in the car, broken lighter and empty coffee cup. But hey...they probably didn't have time to clean it properly to give me the car....so I'm forgiving about that but the person who had it before me was definitely not following the no smoking vehicle rule. Now to the thing that is really pissing me off. Not the fact that I almost didn't get the car I was promised and had a confirmation email about. But the fact that every day after that I'm getting billed $100!!!! Now my guess is that they think I haven't returned the car. I most definitely did and parked it on the second floor because the first floor was full as I was told. I marked the key "2S" like asked if I had to park it on the second floor. And I put the keys in the key box like asked and shown. I checked the key box if the keys actually fell down out of the drawer, which they did. Now I have been charged $559 which is almost 10 times what I was supposed to pay for the car. My credit card is maxed out :( that is seriously annoying, embarrassing and a number of other negative things. So my experience now is this. I don't trust online booking of rental cars. I probably never will do that again.
