Pick-up at West Columbia airport was excellent! Drop-off in Knoxville/Alcoa was poor. Charged for 2 days even though I only has the car for about 20 HOURS. Refund given for 2d day BUT not for unknown extra charges on days 1 or 2; about $10.00 overcharged after the refund. Contacted Enterprise but rep was unable to do the simple math for the full refund ("our system won't allow me to correct the amount).

We wanted a midsized SUV and Alamo in Columbia, South Carolina had lots to choose from. We ended up getting a Ford Edge with only 4 miles on it. Could not have been more satisfied!

I liked nothing. Everything was terrible. Had Everything set up online. Had the money on hand. But because I didn't have a credit card we were told they wouldn't rent to us and offered no help. They stranded 4 people on the opposite side of the country due to this. Don't allow someone to book something and then back out the day of when it is too late.

Pickup & drop off at CAE airport was easy & convenient. My rental car smelled like cigarettes. Also, the cost of the vehicle for the week was too high & higher than the original rate I was quoted.

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.

I was stranded in Columbia, SC after my flight was unexpectedly diverted from Atlanta. The only option for a one way rental was Hertz at the airport. The economy car they gave me so I could drive back home to FL cost me nearly $500 for one day! Worst of all, the AC didn’t work properly. I was forced to drive 9 hours with the AC not working properly in near record heat!
