Vehicle pick up at YYC is inconvenient - after checking in at the counter, you wait for an Alamo/Enterprise employee to "take" you to your car. We had to wait nearly 1/2 hour. Not helpful in keeping a schedule!

The car was clean and drove well. I didn’t like that they tried to up sell me on getting a car with winter tires for an extra $25 a day. This is Calgary the cars should automatically have winter tires to ensure the safety and integrity of the vehicle.

I had no problem with Hertz. My problem was with Kayak. The deal was $12 per day for 21 days. That makes US$336, which converts to about CAN$440: not the $555.71 that I was charged. I received a no reply email which said that a receipt was attached, but there was no attachment, which meant that I could not challenge the credit card charge. I will never again use Kayak.

Your website showed a 7 passenger 5 full luggage vehicle, an expedition was pictured, when I went to pick it up I was told a full size suv was a Durango or equivalent which doesn’t have trunk space for any luggage once the 3rd row is up. Your website misrepresented the vehicle type and didn’t match the hertz vehicle class - we didn’t have enough space for our party and luggage to fit in the vehicle.

Everything went smoothly with easy pick up and drop off. The only issue we had was with the brakes after the 3rd day. They were making a thumping noise when we applied them going down steep inclines in the rockies and the steering wheel was vibrating. I was told by a mechanic that the issue was probably a warped rotor so he advised us to not ride the brakes going down a steep hill and to use them moderately.
