They rented a car to me with registration expired in August 2020, and tag expired in August 2021. It also had no working horn. In short the car was not street legal. And it had not been legal for months. When I contacted them about the issue, it took them several hours to respond. Initially their only response was to replace the vehicle with another one. When I asked for some form of credit, they took $100 off the rental. (I had rented it for 17 days at a cost of over $60/day. The rental cost me over $1000.) This was not an adequate response to renting out a car whose registration had expired over a year ago and whose tag had expired months ago. The second replacement vehicle was at least street legal, but old and dirty. I wish I could report the responsible parties to law enforcement, but I probably don't have the time to deal with that. Perhaps someone reading this message will do that.

After arriving at Hertz counter to pickup minivan I had booked, was told they had no minivan to rent. I don't think you should be able to book a vehicle on kayak only to find out upon arrival to pick it up that there is no vehicle available. Not sure who is at fault here... kayak or Hertz. Either way a bad experience when you make a reservation only to find out that reservations don't mean a thing.
