Hertz did not honor the rate quoted on Kayak. The final price was considerably higher. Also, it appears their car servicing person cleaned the inside of the windshield with the same rag used to check the oil. Nearly bald tires wew also a concern.

I reserved the car for noon pick up, which went through. I got there to pick up my car, and the place closed at noon. There was no indication that it closed at noon when the reservation was made—which made for a difficult situation since I had flown in from out of state. It took over an hour and a half on the phone to solve the issue, and was transferred or redirected to non-working numbers! When I got to speak to the individual who handled the situation, they were terrific. They were also able to check and see that the door of the rental location was locked at 12:01. My question is, why would they allow a rental to be reserved for noon pick up if that is when they close, and why did they not call the renter to see if they were still in need of the vehicle. I worked for a Hertz competitor for many years, and we tracked flight arrival times of contacted clients if they were late so we could make arrangements for them or wait for their arrival! A stressful situation when traveling due to an elderly father's health!

Our flight into Omaha was delayed and we didn’t arrive until after the Alamo rental counter closed at 1:00 AM but the rental agent that helped us in the garage with pickup and checkout was absolutely FANTASTIC! He couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful.

The rental office closed at 1 am, and our flight was delayed from an original arrival time of 12:30. I had called them ahead to explain that my initial arrival was changed to 12:30 AM, and they didn't tell me that the rental counter closed at 1 am. This left not only me but other stranded at the airport, and I had to take a Lyft into town an hour away.

Got to the airport only to find that my rental pick up location was across town, and they were out of cars at the airport. Why does a pick up location across town even show up in the search results? I think my complaint is more about kayak than enterprise.

Staff was extremely helpful. No frowns. No hassles. Just customer-service oriented.

We arrrived at the Avis/Payless counter at 6 pm. Only ONE rep for both companies. When we checked our car for scratches, there were several, so we had to flag a Payless rep. She was excellent - immediately went to get another car and made sure we were satisfied. HOWEVER, the car obviously hadn't been washed. We didn't mind, but. . .

The vehicle was awesome

I was late, called 7 times to the local branch, but it kept going to the call center. The call center didn't have the answer and ended up costing me double because nobody could answer a phone call. Did talk to a manager that told me they were closed and have it returned by opening og the next day, that was a lie so now I will be filing complaints with every office i can, starting with bbb and file a claim with to get a refund.

The time it took to get the car was long. The windshield had a chip in it underneath the windshield wiper, of which the guy cleaning the “bugs” off the windshield would have seen and it split and they are trying to charge me for it although I was told I would not be charged and a note would be put on the account.

Car wasn’t safe to drive. Employees resolution was to return it to original rental location (not nearest thrifty location) and pay for a more expensive rental vehicle or to not drive it on a day with wind, but “it’s going to be windy over the next few days”. (Wind was 20 mph on the day car was blowing all over the road)

What could have been better was the fact that I only had a choice between a Jeep or a Chevrolet truck and I'm a short and round person and my husband has bad knees. I chose the Jeep thinking it would be easier to get into, in which it wasn't. I called for 3 days after I got the Jeep hoping I could trade it for something easier to get into, but they didn't have anything available!

Pick up was fine, the late night staff was nice. The car was the right size for our needs.

We reserved a luxury vehicle and got a full size vehicle. The radio mechanics didn’t work, the car was filthy on the outside, there was a star in the windshield and other body damage that was not gone over with us at pick up. Drop off was complicated after hours. I didn’t have the paperwork to fill out with me so had to leave the garage and find my uber who was circling the airport waiting for me and then take it back up. There was no pen provided to fill out this mandatory paperwork so I had to scrounge one up. Just a disappointing experience overall.

They don't make it obvious that there rentals are only allowed in the state you are renting them from and the surrounding states. They will tell you it's in the fine print.
