Cheap Car Rentals in Washington Heights, Chicago

We have been given a car (Buick Encore) of a lower category than the one booked and paid for. (Mid Suv ex Mazda Cx 5). There was no GPS booked and paid (then discounted from the final price). The explanations at the time of pick up and drop off are too hasty. Bad experience.

I liked that they made it very easy to pick up the vehicle. The cost was great for the vehicle. HOWEVER.......It was DIRTY inside AND outside. The back passenger seat belt was broken behind the front passenger seat. And the hours of operation are horrible to be so close to the airport.

They did not have cars available and wanted to put me in a smaller vehicle than what I paid for then ended up charging me $40 a day for a vehicle that would 5 people. They also included more taxes than what was stated in the agreement. They charged me 2xs at drop off and would not refund me for the 2 charges for $233

The car I wanted was not available although I booked it 2 months in advance. I had to downsize my vehicle and they charged me more money. Not fair at all. I will never rent from a neighborhood rental place again. Especially not an AVIS/BUDGET.

The Enterprise agent steam determined to increase the price of the rental

You desperately need to fix your system's integration with Enterprise's system. I modified the booking a couple times on Kayak, but Enterprise didn't get alerted to the modification. The emails I received from Kayak had the wrong pick-up locations for Enterprise, but again, because Kayak didn't properly relay the pick-up location to Enterprise, I ended up going to the wrong location. This costed me $40 to take an Uber to the correct location as well as a 2-hour delay in pick-up, almost causing me to miss my drop-off time. I should get some credit for this hassle, which is totally Kayak's fault.

Great and low price

Our car was not available at Hertz. And as of today I still have not been refunded for the insurance package. Absolutely pitiful program that allows people to rent cars that don't exist and get charged for insurance on a car that does not exist.

The car was ok. It obviously wasn’t checked for the issue with the driver’s side door. There was a creeking noise. I ended up having to call roadside assistance because the door would not close. I got a text message saying the ETA was 2 minutes. They showed up 3 hours after the initial call. Very poor communication between Hertz and the tow truck company. I was told that I can exchange the car at the airport. There were no cars available at the airport. Clearly there there is no communication between customer service and the rental location. After all was said and done I lost 5 hours because of the poor level of service from Hertz. Very disappointed.

Hertz did not have a car despite reservation. Had to look elsewhere and spent $1100 rather than the initial $300. Terrible job, Kayak!
