Easy, excellent and perfect.

Pros: Great customer service, very helpful and patient. Car was in great condition price wasn't to high in price for the spring break time.

Cons: Underage fee. I have never been in an accident and dont really like that I'm charged more just because I am categorized as underage and irresponsible. It would be nice if they took more into account other than age, because there are a lot of responsible peoole under the age of 21. I feel like that's why more people are turning towards uber and turo for cars because they allow under age with out an extreme extra charge. But overall i had an excellent experience with the people and car. It was only the underage fee that didn't sit well with me.

Quick & Easy Process

Pros: The pick-up and drop-off were both quick and easy. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: As far as the pick-up, I was given the wrong stall/location for the car. Another car of the same make and model was in the spot I was given, but I was able to figure out it wasn't my car by hitting the lock button with the remote (a car across the lot started beeping). Also, some quick familiarization tips would have helped for a make and model car I had never driven before.

Reservation....without a car !!??

Pros: Easy to book online. Website is easy to navigate. Received confirmation number via email.

Cons: I book a Car rental reservation via Kayak.com. Upon booking rental, I received a Confirmation number via email. I called Enterprise Car Rental company, which I booked a car through, and they told me they had NO CARS AVAILABLE. NONE. I attempted to contact the other local enterprise lots in my area, again, NO CARS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE !! Riddle me this...how do I get a Results return via Kayak.com that shows cars available in several local lots, called 3 in particular...and they stated..."All sold out, No cars for at least a day". I had a family vacation booked which was put on hold because I was lied to, and stupidly believed that I actually had a rental car waiting for me. This has happened to several other people I have explained my issue to. This is completely UN-Acceptable. Stop Lying to people just to get them to book via your website. Misleading at best. I will NEVER use Kayak...or Enterprise again. LIARS.

Pros: Staff was slow and too busy. Pickup was good but drop off was terrible so far. The lady was so overwhelmed that she said go on I’ll email your receipt and credit your card on file. So far, neither has happened.

Cons: More employees to handle the phone and the 2 customers and following through with their promise of emailing receipts and crediting my card.

Pros: Carlos, the manager at the Hertz off-airport location, was very helpful and generous, once he resolved my complaint, not of his making, described below.

Cons: Disclose that the pickup location is a $15 cab ride from the airport. Carlos secured a car at the airport, waived a drop off charge and drove me back to the airport to pick up the car that I dropped off at the airport at the end of my trip.

Car was so gross, customer service was terrible!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The representative called me the morning i was suppose to pick up my rental and told me that they didn't have the SUV that i needed for my trip. I settled for a smaller one, so we can get to our destination. The place smelled like cigarette smoke inside the lobby and there was only one person working with about 8 people waiting for a car. When we went to do the walk around, there were dents, gouges, paint missing, the car was completely filthy on the outside. The inside of the car and cigarette burns all over the inside, there was trash in it, there was a weird white substance all over the doors on the driver side. I wondered if the car was even going to make it to our destination! This place was disgusting, the cars were disgusting. I will NEVER rent from them again.

Cons: I was scammed by Kayak. This was not Hertz at the airport. There is no shuttle. It is closed on Sundays, which was the day of my return. Be careful about "lowest price deals". You might get what you paid for, while for just a few more bucks, you could get what you want at the airport.

ACE rental cancelled...no pickup service

Cons: Usually when the rental company states that they are off airport, there is a statement that there is no shuttle to their location if that's the case. Well, this rental company is so far away from the airport that it would have cost me $40 to get there by taxi. No shuttle. And when I called, they said they "could" return me to the airport when I brought the car back. I doubt that would have happened. So, from now on, I will only reserve cars from companies that are co-located at the airport or that explicitly state they have a shuttle. Lesson learned for me. I ended up renting from a company co-located at the airport, by the way. It cost me an extra $30 from my ACE rental but I saved the round trip taxi fare and the time. I had to provide ratings, by the way, in order to have my review published. I never went to ACE.

Top tips for renting a car in Pensacola

A rental car is the perfect way to explore not only the coastal city of Pensacola, but also the state of Florida and its world-famous attractions, as public transportation between cities is not widely available. Drive to the famous Pensacola Beach, located on Santa Rosa Island, just 10 miles away from Pensacola. For a day filled with adventure, go to the Blackwater River State Park, just 52 miles from the city.
All the big car rental agencies, including Alamo and Avis, can be found at Pensacola International Airport (PNS), which is conveniently located almost 4 miles from the city center. Car rental services are situated just across the baggage claim area, which is on the first floor of the airport’s main terminal. If you’re heading to Pensacola during peak season, consider booking your vehicle in advance.
While Pensacola is rather easy to navigate, the main attractions are pretty spread out, so be prepared to drive longer distances sometimes. All vehicles should stop at a red light, but a right-hand turn is then allowed if there is no oncoming traffic. The city is home to many college students, so if you’re driving at night be extra careful with reckless drivers or drunken pedestrians. Downtown is particularly crowded on weekends, so stay within speed limits and be alert.
The commute times in Pensacola are some of the best in the country, and traffic jams aren’t common. The I-98, which takes you to Pensacola Beach through Pensacola Bay and English Navy Cove, is usually pretty crowded during weekends and the summer.
