Sixt refused the Kayak pre-paid reservation claiming it required a credit card of the driver to have paid for the rental fee, which makes no sense. They could’ve collected a credit card for a security deposit at the spot, but not reject the pre-paid fee and insurance entirely. At least I was fully reimbursed for the pre-payment, but then they forced the driver to hire their own insurance which was much more expensive

Bait and switch. Reserved a compact, get there and am told they don’t have any, but I can pay an extra $20/day for an “upgrade”. When I ask “what if I say no?” They reply that I can wait around for someone to return a compact (mind you this is at 10pm at night. Also really long lines makes no difference whether you have a reservation or walk in off the street it’s first come first serve, with commission based sales teams up selling you.

I never received my car. I had a 12pm pick up from a location that closed at 12pm. How does that make any sense. Clearly a faulty system. When I arrived at 12:18, there was no one around for help. They were then closed until 2 days later. I was stranded and had to rent a car from someone else. But it gets even better, Hertz still charged me for the car I never used! Terrible service

My wife picked up the rental and accidentally purchased cdw insurance. I called and could not get through to a human. The office where it was picked up did not answer the phone. I stopped in a different office and asked to remove the cdw for the remainder of the trip and was told that could only be done at the original pickup location, which is ludicrous.

The cost of the rental for one day was too expensive. I will never rent from you again. I did'nt want to buy the car. I travelled 120 miles & used $20.00 worth of gas. What a ripoff.

The agent walked away from us to get breakfast before helping us. We were the only ones in line and he was the only agent. After he showed us our “midsize’ car, we refused the rental and we were told it was the only one available or there was a 25/day increase. We handed the contract back to him, walked over to Sixt and had excellent customer service for a lesser price. Will not rent from Dollar/Thrift again. Still amazed about the Starbucks incident - who leaves someone standing in line while you get something to eat!!

Overall, the car was great. We waited over an hour to get our car. Our reservation was for 1130 am and we didn't get our car until after 1 pm. We were told there was a car shortage due to the storm which is understandable, but we still had to pay the full amount even though we got the car over an hour late

Thrifty handled the reservation terribly. They had me and many other travelers waiting in line for hours on Saturday and Sunday to finally announce that they would not honor the reservation because it had not been paid in full in advance. There is a complete disconnect in the travel industry regarding how to handle crisis. According to the Wall Street Journal a total of 1,900 flights got cancelled this weekend due to weather and an alleged system update. Thousands of passengers got stranded in Florida and I was one of them. This is not about how me only, it is about how the industry responds to crisis, how hard is it to assess availability of vehicles against booked reservations and communicate with customers via text, e-mail or phone. Please contact me at 301-633-0670 if you are interested in obtaining additional information.

At pick up I had to wait over an hour in a long line at the airport with many people who were not socially distancing nor wearing masks. There were only 2 people working there for Budget and Avis together! The reason I rented the car was to avoid airports and planes and covid!

We had to wait in an extremely long line to pick up our vehicle, which is understandable this time of year. The thing that is not understandable is the vast amount of time it takes to process each customer. There were several groups at the counter for 30-45 minutes each.

It was unclear how to contact the offices directly, so we ended up getting transferred to call centers a couple of times that didn’t have accurate information for our pick up and drop off locations, specifically when we couldn’t find a location and were unclear on hours of operation.

Had to wait over an hour in line to check in. They only had two people working and there was a very long line. When I finally spoke to a rep I was told it was going to be another hour to get my car since they did not have one in the type that I ordered. I ordered a wildcard which is basically dealers choice. After I expressed my displeasure in having to wait another hour they finally gave me a truck to rent. Unlikely to use them again. Saving a couple of bucks with them was not worth the hassle.

The Enterprise situated at Executive airport where we had made original reservations, first had promised to shuttle us from FLL to pick up the car to then tell us that they don’t do that. Also to make matters worse, then told us the car we had rented wasn’t available, thirdly left us hanging on hold for over 30 minutes and never came back on the line. So we were stranded at FLL for a very long time. Thankfully Enterprise rent a car at FLL got us the exact car we needed.
