I made a mistake in making my reservation and picked the wrong week. About an hour after I realized it, I contacted you all and you were ABSOLUTELY no help in moving to the previous week but were able to charge me anyway. I didn't rent from you then nor will I in the future. You clearly don't know what happened as you are sending me this survey on a rental that never happened. How about a refund and do the right thing.

Billing was a little weird, they charged airport fees and taxes separate from the Kayak rental so it seemed like a hidden fee.

Our only problem was at pickup, we waited over a hour for our car to be delivered to us. Than they had the wrong car ready for us. We had ordered a mid size suv, & gave me keys to a Rouge. They did correct it, we were given a Ford Explorer, which was a great car. I was really impressed with the Chechen in service when we returned it.

It was a nice type of car with good gas mileage. That is the BEST thing I can say about this experience. This whole rental experience has made a trip that should have been relaxing very stressful. I had a day rental and iI am being charged $382.00!!! That’ should be closer to a weeks rental fee. This was a complete the TAXES were $116. The rate I was quoted was $150 TOTAL ….including insurance. There was less than a 1/4 tank gas at pick up and the car was dirty with a sticky soda spill on the center console. I spoke to TWO different representatives from budget (one told me to return the vehicle with the amount of gas that it had at pick up. I returned it with half a tank rather than the quarter it had been delivered to me with) and there was no one at the drop off gate to discuss any of this with and today I find that there are more FEES. This was by far the most unprofessional and OVERPRICED rental experience I have ever had. I will not be recommending Budget or Kayak to ANYONE.

Terrible and confusing customer service experience I caught Covid and they had me on the phone for hours while feeling miserable and completely unable to solve my problem which was very easy: I just needed to return the car to a different nearby location (Oakland airport instead of Berkeley ) and have my wife drop the car off for me instead. It was absolutely confusing ridiculous and altogether a terrible experience. I can’t recommend hertz to anybody

I tried to pickup from the Sacramento Airport and when I went to the airport pickup they told me I was at the wrong location and refused to give me a car or switch my reservation to the airport location without my paying $500. I called corporate and they were not helpful or friendly and promised to have a supervisor call me back and no one did so I had to take a 39 minute Uber ride to the correct location and picked up the car. Everyone at that location was amazing and couldn’t believe the airport people and corporate wouldn’t help me. I need my money back for this awful experience.

The car I got was low on oil and needed service. After driving to my hotel in Los Angeles I called emergency roadside service and they told me to drive it to LAX (40min away at night or 1hr+ in the day) to switch cars. Payless won’t come swap the car out for you. I decided to go in the middle of the night even though I was exhausted because my day was too busy. Roadside service told me it was open 24hrs but it wasn’t! Afterwards I couldn’t get through to them on the phone so I just drove the car for another day. When I turned the car in I told the person what happened expecting some sort of price break for the trouble. Instead I got a lecture about how I should have brought the car back to them right away. Never again would I rent a car from them.

Pick up in Sacramento went very well. The actual pick up was through the Budget Counter. Pick up was organized, friendly and ready upon arrival. The actual car however had some safety issues that I felt should have been addressed before renting. 1. Tires--the tread on the passenger tires had been so worn, that you could not see the raised lettering of the tire name. And to think I traveled from Lake Tahoe to Reno in a snowstorm on those tires does not sit well with me. 2. The hood almost looked like it was opened because of the gap on the driver side. It seemed twisted. 3. There was blue tape on the bottom of the bumper indicating the previous driver had scraped the side. 4. I had 600 miles until the oil needed changed. I have never gotten into a rental car where I had a warning that the oil needed changed. I feel these were serious issues that put my family in danger. When I addressed that with the drop off location--it did not seem serious to them and they felt that it was just the car. I will pay the higher cost for a safer car for the next rental.

The line was really really long with one agent working. I ended up going over to Alamo and got a car from them. Very disappointing to have paid for the car, but the poor agent left alone was very poor planning and staffing for Thrifty. My reviews are all not good, but reality is I never got a car from Thrifty due to the long line and wait time.

When I hve a reservation for 2pm p/u, arrive at the counter at 1:50pm, and am told I may have to wait for a while because they have no cars in my rental class ready, I get little miffed. After I declined to accept that scenario, the rep located another vehicle to expedite my departure.

Be prepared - know what your options are (add-on insurance, what car you're ok with, etc.) because things move pretty quickly once you arrive. I did notice a lack of gender diversity - staff was all male.

They didn’t have the car that I reserved. I tried to contact Kayak to let you know that they didn’t, so that I wouldn’t be penalized, and I never heard back. The fact that they didn’t have a van put me in a very tough position, as I desperately needed a van to transport items for a tradeshow, and had no choice but to pay double what I was going to pay with Enterprise to rent a van through Avis. And I was lucky to even get the van through Avis, as I spent hours trying to find a van. Very disappointing experience.

Staff was extremely unprofessional and does not take accountability for their lack of thoroughness with their product. The van we rented was in severe need of a check-up - tail lights not working, oil change, alignment, electrical, etc.... when this brought to their attention they only made excuses and told us “well, you rented a van.” They didn’t care. Don’t rent a van from this company.
