A smooth experience. When I didn't like the car and asked for a replacement, they didn't express any disapproval — instead, they supported me and suggested an another car which was great. The only drawback was nearly 40min wait in the line.Reviewed 2024 Sept 22

In the SFO airport, at the Hertz service desk, the Filipino lady was speaking very rudely. When I told her that I would complaint online, then she started to change her tone. This kind of staffs will spoil the name of Hertz.Reviewed 2024 Sept 21

The service person at front desk was not friendly. Car was not detail cleaned. Returning address printed on ticket. Lots of surcharges which made the internet price misleading.Reviewed 2024 Aug 26

They had me check in online, and then said I couldn't check in online as I bought through a voucher. Then said i couldn't pick out a car online, then stood in the LONG LONG line at the airport counter, at which point they messaged me to pick out a car online and they WOULD let me skip the line and go directly to my car (saving me at least 1 1/2 hrs.Reviewed 2024 Aug 01

Hi I was charged twice for my rental car. I've emailed kayak and Hertz and have not heard back. I'm upset that I've paid an extra $870 for my rental and have not received any response as to how to be refunded for this mistake. Thank youReviewed 2024 Jul 04

I liked that I could do everything on my phone, and that the drop off point was at my hotel. I did not like that the drop off point had limited hours with no drop box. I returned when they reopened but it took me a while to find the attendant.Reviewed 2024 May 31

The customer service agent was rude and rushed so much, calling the next person to the counter when I was paying and signing in the POS system. He also provided the wrong car information, taking me an extra half to find the car and get back into the line to fix it.Reviewed 2024 May 13

There was no car when I got there, and she didn’t know when they’d have one. And she wasn’t able to cancel my reservation for me.Reviewed 2024 Mar 27

Friendly and polite staff for the car pick-up and drop-off. The experience at the counter could have gone better. There was a mismatch between my priceline voucher (obtained through a kayak search) and what the person at the desk had in the computer. This resulted in several iterations of being proposed higher rental prices and being told I had to pay tax (although the voucher had tax payed on it). No car was available in the category I chose, so I was offered an "upgrade" at an additional cost. This is the first time this happens, as most o the time companies offer it for free, as it's not the client's fault for the company running out of reserved cars in a category. I ended up choosing a lower class car, luckily for free (the only thing that was for free in the negotiations at the cash desk). This is an unacceptable experience at the counter, as clearly something went wrong (or did not work at all) with the data transfer between the online platform and the rental company.Reviewed 2022 Oct 24

I actually did not rent this car. I canceled the reservation with Hertz a few weeks ago. Kayak was never updated apparently. I actually contacted both kayak and hertz in the cancellation process, because despite canceling weeks in advance, I was charged $50 by hertz for the reservation. Their policy was confusing, and I was surprised and disappointed to be charged. I have no complaints with kayak, but was dissatisfied with this hertz experience.Reviewed 2022 Oct 16
