The hardest part of the car rental experience in Charleston air port is the long walk from the terminal to where the cars are located. Other than that, the whole car rental is a breeze !!

Staff was very kind and helpful, pickup and return very easy. What surprised me was that at my reservation the estimated costs were $363.03, but when I picked up the car it was $724.37 and I don‘t exactly know why they were doubled. It would be fair if your offer listed the full charges. So unfortunately I can‘t recommend Kayak/Avis after this experience. Yours Dieter

Car was ready on time. Lots of cat hair, no damage report (had to show pics of preexisting damage to prevent charge), but worst was at no time were we informed that the drop off location did not have an after hours return thus causing massive changes to our trip.

Had to go to different location for pick up as they ran out of cars and had to pay extra for a cab to other locations. Get there only to be told due to having an out of state license and using my debit card, I could not rent without a full credit check. Wasn't eligible to rent a car. Thankfully not all rental places there use this policy. I went to another company and it was a great experience

Poor|Oct 2022

Pickup person was indifferent about being there. The big issue is no where in the reservation process (booking, confirmation, pickup, etc.) was I informed that AVIS does NOT allow after hours drop off so had to change a lot of trip stuff after that since I showed up at the drop off location thinking I could just drop off the car like at Hertz, etc. but noooo. Had to book a hotel, rearrange travel, etc. because of this. I would simply have booked with another agency that allowed after hours instead of putting a major issue into our trip.

They gave me a free upgrade due to the minivan I reserved was not ready. By the Tim I went to pick up the vehicle the minivan was ready but gave me the free upgrade anyway since I had to wait a couple hours extra to pick up.

Mediocre|Mar 2021

Staff was friendly. My husband made the reservation in his name when the car was for me. So, we cancelled the reservation in his name and put it in mine; otherwise, we would have to pay extra to add a driver which an increase in price wasn't disclosed until I asked. They honored the original price. However, since it was prepaid, the staff said it would take several weeks for a refund. We will monitor our credit card and dispute the charge if it isn't removed from my husband's account. I just hope we don't have to go to that trouble and the refund will go through as it should.

When we were going over the car, it was dirty. The Hertz staff said she had nowhere to get the car washed. What? So, I am driving a dirty car in a time businesses are stating they are disinfecting and cleaning things better than before. I thought this was unacceptable, but took the car anyway because I needed it and didn't have much if a choice.

I was charged an extra $59 because I used a debit card. I was told that because I had a debit card and not cc they had to physically speak to my insurance agent...at 6pm on a Saturday. They would not accept my insurance information or declaration page either. Very disappointed, will never use again.

Avoid this Hertz. Countless reviews of poor service, vehicles unavailable, and I experienced it for myself. I booked a 7 passenger vehicle for 24 hours through your website in the morning around 8 am for a noon pickup. When I arrived, the attendant said there were no such vehicles available. That's fine, I understand if you don't have one. HOWEVER, why not call me once you saw the reservation come in and let me know you would not be able to supply a vehicle to meet my request??? It would have saved everyone so much time. On top of that, the attendant said they did have a 7 passenger SUV available but it was luxury class so it would cost an additional $150. If it were my business, I would have comped the "additional charge" and let the customer take the "luxury" SUV but that just makes too much sense. Poor experience all around, I will not use Kayak for renting cars like this in the future.

Counter agent and support staff were helpful and patient as we switched thru to the 3rd vehicle before we were able to leave 1:15 later. 1st small SUV had a near bald front left tire. I knew we were going to have it for weeks so that was not acceptable in Winter driving. 2nd small SUV had Tire Pressure Alert on. Did not want to deal with that for weeks. We would have taken it if the support staff could have defeated it with adding air, but they did not have the means to add air. 3rd vehicle was acceptable, but disappointing being the most econo-plain of the 3--Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.

The staff was as friendly and suggested another spot. However didn’t offer any help beyond that. Tough spot to be in and would expect more.

When I arrived they tried to scan my drivers license but the back side of it was worn out so scanner couldn’t read it. I had to go to hertz and pay double.

Rental itself was great, clean, ran great. Great rental.

On pick-up, they said I had booked the wrong location even though my reservation was for the correct location, which I showed them. The person ahead of me in line had the same problem. Also, when I dropped off the rental they tried to charge a weekly rate even though I had spoken with the agent at pick up about converting it back over to a daily rate after the rental was up (which was reflected in my contract). Although a manager corrected the problem after I showed her proof, the initial agent was incompetent and did not know what he was doing. The manager had to show him twice. Also, the parking attendant was rude at drop off until he realized that I was correct. Would probably not use national through kayak again- too much of a hassle when you are traveling!
