Pros:

I like that we got a free upgrade because the 7 passenger van wasn’t available

Cons:

The car was dirty, they didn’t have the car at the place of pickup had to drive 1hr 20 min to next pick up location, the had to stop at a enterprise 1hr and 15 min out of the way from our destination because it needed an oil change and air in the tires.

Cons:

Don't book with enterprise. I rented a van to transport my two friends, aunt, uncle, and Mom and dad who were visiting Europe for the first time. A couple days before I called to confirm my reservation and they informed me that they did not have the van I reserved. I asked them when they planned to inform me of this and they did not have an answer. The manager had also stepped out when I asked to speak with him or her. Avid at Ramstein was great.

This particular Hertz dealer in Kaiserslautern Germany is out of their mind. In was charged over $400 dollars for minor scratches

7.6 Good

Mar. 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

Car was ready as promised when I came to pick it up.

Cons:

I booked online, and when I got there they told me that the rental was without car insurance. To purchase insurance would have more than doubled the cost. How can you offer a car rental without insurance? Just seems like a price gouging tactic. Car was really dirty on the outside when I picked it up.

2.0 Poor

Sep. 2016

KAYAK

Cons:

My frustration is not with KAYAK, but rather with the Hertz office I used. The car I reserved was not there when I arrived (I was delayed 1 hour). I ended up with a smaller car (FIAT 500). Although I did not pay as much for this car as the one I had reserved would have cost, it was a higher rate than was listed on the website for the same vehicle. I may rent from Hertz again in the future, but defiantly not from the office in K-town Germany.
