Even though I had paid in full the agent st the counter only gave me upgrade options and didn’t allow us to get a car that we had already paid for. Didn’t realize this until we returned the car and got the bill for an additional $100.

Because of the way we ordered the car we didn't have our choice. The car that was provided was a fine car but small and with all our luggage and our need to shop on our way to our destination we were a bit cramped. By the time we got to our destination, a little over an hour away from the airport, the warning light for tire pressure came on. As it turned out one tire had a slow leak and every couple of days I had to stop and put air in the tire. I called Hertz and they told me to bring it in and they would swap it out for no extra charge. In fact, they gave me a much larger car - one that I wish I had gotten to begin with. The first car would have been adequate for the trip, but thanks to the air leak, the second half of the vacation was more comfortable driving-wise.

It needs to be stated that this is a SMALL office within the resort. The address maps out to the resort that this Hertz is inside of, nothing in the confirmation informs of this. It’s referred to as the “Downtown Lihue Hertz” and that it isn’t at the airport. I did not expect to pick up car at a resort. Was very confusing. Everything else was great.

Had difficulty picking up the car. The pick up location which was other than the airport was canceled at the last minute via VM. I was told to pick up at the car rental location at the airport now. They kinda gave me the run around. I think I'll rent a car directly from the car rental company next time.

The van was comfortable for a family of 5. Checkin and drop off were relatively smooth. Unfortunately the vehicle was not completely clean when we picked it up. Despite their promise to clean out all the pockets and cup holders, there was a whole stash of trash in the one compartment. Otherwise a decent experience.

Our rental had a low pressure warning after the first 5 days. No documentation in car on how to clear it after adding air and finding pressures were good. Returned to Enterprise and they gave us a replacement in roughly 5 minutes, let us pick our replacement, no charge for 3/4 tank of fuel.

Bait and switch here. Ordered a Jeep Grand Cherokee or similar and pre paid. They gave me a miled out Hyundai Santa Fe. Car was dirty when picked up and had a low tire which the alarm went off all the time. I was too tired to argue but did ask if they had something better to drive and they tried to give me a truck. Car ran poorly and was terrible. Here comes the good part. Charged me another $110 when I dropped it off. It says taxes and fees which were all included in the pre pay. Got me once but never again. Then the guy at the counter has the balls to ask me for a tip. I thought this was a luxury car rental but it’s the same as the others only worse because they are not truthful. I could have got a Santa Fe at any of the others for much less.

The person at the counter was a bit too chatty, took him a white to be done with a customer before us, discussing things unrelated to the car rental. People arriving late, having spent 6 hours on the plane, want to get to their lodging as soon as possible. Other than that a fairly easy and smooth process, appreciated an upgrade.

We had easy pickup and drop-off. We upgraded to a convertible since there was a discount and I wanted to use one for our trip, but as soon as we agreed to the vehicle I feel like the representative stopped listening and didn’t answer a number of questions my husband and I had. She was like, “It’s fine, just get in, just get in!” Everything worked out in the end but it made the initial experience more stressful than necessary. If upgrades and deals are offered for very different names/models/sizes at the counter, some time should be allotted for customers to feel comfortable with their decision.

Car not well-maintained. Needed a mechanic. I received a new car that had been treated poorly by previous drivers; wear and tear was evident, including an unidentifiable (and somewhat alarming) hard rattle from somewhere near the rear wheels. (Suspension? Axle? Bad shocks?) I only felt comfortable in the car because I was not traveling long distance.

45 minute wait at the counter and 75 minutes wait for a call. I understand short staffing, but you need to be informing people before the end of the payment process. I would have canceled and gone elsewhere as every other counter in the area was open and had cars. We also didn’t get the vehicle we paid for—we rented an SUV and got an old, rattly, not particularly clean minivan. By the time we finally got the car, we had it for less than 48 hours despite paying for 3 days. It’s enough for me to swear off dollar/Thrifty in the future. No, thanks!
