It was the worst experience I have ever had with renting a car. I did not request an electric vehicle but ended up with one without any instructions on how electric vehicles work or how to recharge if you have to. The care was not charged all the way so it could not even make it to my destination which was only 3 1/2 hour trip. It took me a total of 9 hours to get home due to having to find a charging station and having to sit for a couple hours in the blazing Sun while it charge only enough to make it home!!!! Do not rent an electric car if you have never used one in the past. It was an absolute terrible experience 😢😢😢 and I lost out on a paying job since it took me 5.5 extra wasted hours of my time.

The women that helped me was so very friendly. They were still cleaning the vehicle from the prior renter. She offered me a seat and we had a very friendly chat for the 5 or so minutes it took to finish up the cleaning.

Poor|Mar 2023
I thought I was renting a car at the San Jose airport, but it turned out that it was a small facility off airport that cost me $40 to get to by taxi. The airport Hertz was not willing to do anything for me except rent me a car at walk-up rates (at least twice what I had prepaid), and not even give me credit for the prepaid amount. They said I could get it back from the "company". Yes, same company. Very unhelpful while he was telling me how he would accomodate me. I didn't have any reason to suspect that the car I was renting was not at the airport, as I am not familiar with the addresses in that area.

Waiting for my refund because I was not able to pick up the car because they did not have any available and I wasn’t the only one that was unable to get a car!! Very disappointed never using this again!

Mediocre|Jan 2023
I had inadvertently chose to pick up the vehicle away from the airport. The Hertz desk at the airport was unable to change the reservation to the airport because I originally booked through Kayak. I was able to get a new reservation (at a price that was tripled what I originally booked) through the Hertz employee. He also suggested that I call and cancel my original reservation for a refund. I understand that mistakes happen, but this is the second time the counter employee can’t help me because I didn’t book through them directly. The price was excellent through Kayak, but I was left in the rain at the airport without a car because of my error. I wish Kayak would work with the businesses to avoid these issues.
