Please check the rental car location hours before booking. I reserved a car for 5pm and my flight got in slightly later than expected and took an Uber to enterprise arriving at 5:10 to find out they closed at 5pm, so I was left stranded without a car and unable to get through to anyone. Kind of ridiculous to let someone reserve a car for the exact time the branch closes. Kayak shouldn’t allow this either

We made a reservation and went to the Enterprise counter at the Atlanta Airport and was told we did not have a reservation and they had no cars available. We had to rent from Avis and paid over $600.00 for 3 days to go to a wedding.

No car. I booked for ATL. Was told at airport that car was downtown on Peach St! No excuse for this. Cost me a lot of time and money. Last time I will use or recommend 3rd party booking.

When I arrived, I was told I was at the wrong Enterprise desk...and that the other one was closed. There were NO cars available, at any price (let alone the "bargain" price I had booked) and I had to take a much higher walk-up rate at Avis. Lucky for me I have credit and Avis had a car! Enterprise USED TO BE a reliable vendor, but I hear nothing good about them anymore.

Made a reservation a few days in advance with email confirmation of the reservation only to be told on the day of that they “have over 30 reservations but only one car available”. Glad we were able to go through Turo or we would’ve had to cancel our road trip, and the plans we already paid for would have been a waste of money. Really doesn’t make sense to keep letting people book online if they know they have a car shortage

I loved the car. Great gas mileage and was comfortable.

The deposit still has not been credited to my account and when I booked it off of this website, it told me my total was $ 64.84 and I have been charged $279.73 !! That's horrible misrepresentation!

They nickel and dime you at every turn Was an hour late at pick up location due to flight delay and was given a $200 upcharge to get a 'like class' that I reserved because my car was rented within that 60 minutes. No human interaction, submit all questions, concerns or issues via web portal unless you're at a location. Even though the BMW 3 series I finally rented only had 30K , the car was pretty dinged up and now they are saying I did some of the damage even with me supplying a video of what the car looked like at point of pick up. Staff at the pick up location, very rude with a "this is the way it is, take it or not .,., I only do what I am told to do"

Although booked 24 hours early, at the airport the rep told us you have to wait for 1.5-2 hours or else go somewhere and find another car. They did not give us the car and asked to book somewhere else. Horrible experience. Never ever will book EZ car rental.

The representative at the front desk (inside office) was very courteous and upgraded my car because there were none available at one of the pick up areas. Other than that I can’t think of anything.

My first car was barely clean on the outside, wheel was shaking at 60+ mph, returned car and was charged a full tank of gas when the I barely used 1/4 of a tank. Service was mediocre at best. Never renting from this company again! Manager did not include in the notes why I returned car.

They are dishonest and do not even tell you the whole truth when renting the car. The girl told me $20 for unlimited gas but never specify that it was $20 per day. They do not tell you how much gas cost to fill up and will send an email receipt instead of telling you the cost up front and deposits.

We had a terrible experience with our drop off. We had to change our plans and our original pickup location was closed. We called Hertz and we were on the phone for 2 hrs being transferred around. No one could help us figure out what we were supposed to do with the car. Finally we just took it to the airport (airport staff was extremely rude) where again no one knew how to help. We ended up getting charged $2,200. We then went to the Hertz counter where a kind lady talked to her manager and helped us get our original prices. I will absolutely NEVER use Hertz again. Their staff is UNFRIENDLY and have no idea how to help!

This was a nightmare of an experience. I reserved my rental car through kayak for pick up at the Atlanta airport. My flight was delayed by 2 hours, and when I arrived to the Atlanta airport Hertz location they advised me that my car was actually reserved at the peachtree location, and that that location closed at 6 PM. They then proceeded to advise me that since I had pre-paid that reservation there was nothing they could do for me. They could not transfer my Hertz reservation from the Peachtree location to the Hertz at the Atlanta airport location. So I then ended up paying an additional $740 to rent the exact same car!! Grateful I had a credit card that I was able to put this on, but not everyone is so fortunate. I just do not understand how a company cannot transfer services between different locations. It’s quite ridiculous!

When I requested my rental, my pickup location was entered as Atlanta Hartsfield airport. When we arrived at the Hertz counter in the airport, the rental was in Buckhead-a suburb of Atlanta. To transfer the location was $2100.00 Instead, we took a $35 Uber ride to Buckhead. My blame is not on Hertz but on Kayak which I will not be using again. When we returned the car to the Toledo Ohio location I was given a credit for our Uber cost, and they were very apologetic. Next time I will book directly thougfh Hertz

My scheduled pick up time was 3pm, they texted 45m prior to that time stating that they closed at 3pm. I explained that it was impossible to be there before 3pm.. They made no accommodations to stay or help find another location that would be open past 3pm. Horrible service I would not suggest using this location.

Didn’t even get a rental car. Got a pathetic text an hour before pickup that they were out of cars. Thrifty was such a scam - don’t overbook if you don’t have the cars, and let people know before they’re leaving for their trip (when they book a car weeks in advance).

Dollar and Thrifty are the only car rental companies that seem to have a line in the entire airport. After waiting about 1.5 hrs to speak with a representative, they told me they couldn’t give me my prepaid and non-refundable car rental because I had an interim drivers license issued by the state. The rental was for the holidays, which my birthday lands around, and I had to renew my license a week prior and it didn’t occur to me that they wouldn’t take a state issued document that my state gives out prior to sending the new license via mail. (Had my old license, birth certificate, & interim license with me but they wouldn’t consider it). Extremely poor experience.

You made our reservation at the wrong location. We made the reservation for the Atlanta airport but you all switched it to a location 35 minutes away. And by the time we arrived, the AVIS location at the airport was sold out. We ended up going with another rental company. We won't be using a 3rd party to make car reservations again.

I reserved a pickup truck from the Atlanta centre over a month before the collection date. They had no vehicles except from Small SVU/Sedans. As I was on a road trip, I required a car that day. They said I had to take one of those cars at the same much higher rate that I booked the pickup for. Then contact customer services. As I'm not from the USA, my phone rates would of made it extremely expensive and customer service wouldn't initially help via email. I've been back and forward with customer services for nearly 3 weeks as I needed to wait till the end of my reservation period before they could intervene. Overall a very poor experience. I will not be using AVIS in a rush, nor will recommend them to work / friends. Regards, Calum Mackinder
