4.0 Mediocre

Anonymous, Dec 2024

Intermediate

KAYAK
I was overall not impressed. The car I received had gum stuck to the center console which was gross. After I returned the car, I received a call saying that there’s a “large crack that goes halfway across the windshield.” When I asked again how large the crack was because I didn’t see a crack while driving, the agent said the crack was barely visible. I explained that I did not notice a crack nor did it happen while I was driving. When I dropped the car off at 4:30 PM, the rental place was closed. I truly believe this crack either happened with the last driver and I was not informed about it when I picked the car up. Or it happened after I dropped it off. Despite this, the agent said I’m responsible for it and will need to cover the cost. Very unhappy about that.

Pros:

Pickup and drop-off was quick and was conducted entirely outdoors.

Cons:

I wish the supplemental insurance was cheaper. It added a significant amount to the daily cost.

They should put that is only credit and that it has to be under the same drivers name the car. It was a totally bad experience since i wasnt able to rent a car at all

Pros:

Proximity to my houE

Cons:

Everything- they gave me a different car than what I reserved and I was 60 seconds into my trip before a check engine light came on and then a light telling me I had a flat tire. I did not have a flat tire but I returned the car as there was clearly issues with this vehicle and I did not feel safe.

Standard SUV

I confirmed a rental of a standard size suv and a pickup time. When I arrived to pick up the car, I was told fhere were no suvs and no gas cars. (I could wait 7-8 hours to see if any come in.) Mine was a one-way rental to drive my elderly parents - road trip. I had never driven an electric car and had no warning to plan charging stops on my route. This felt like a bait and switch and is unacceptable.

That car takes forever to charge. That was by far the worst experience I have ever had with any rental car. The people I worked with at the front desk at all were also very short and their choice of words. I felt like my decisions were being made out for me without consulting me.

They didn't give me a car because they had more bookings than the number of cars. The money was not returned. Wasted time, nerves and money.

I liked the price, but I was not able to pick up the car as the agency closed an hour earlier than Herz stated in an email.

Cons:

They could have been open. Also they were not giving me a refund.

The rent process is simple, easy, and fast. The staff are friendly. Very good. The return process is also super easy and fast. The only thing I feel bad is that this car is pretty noisy. I think it should do tire balance and tire rotation. I was so concerned about the noise and I almost drove back to ask for exchanging the car.

Loved that everything went according to plan and they even gave me a Camry, which was a wonderful upgrade compared with what I had ordered (the cheapest car possible)
