They closed before my flight landed, so I didn't get my reservation. Had to pay more to use a different company because of this. It cost me about $150 more with the other company, so now I'm out money because they closed when they still had a reservation and flights still to land.

The pickup was awful. After we checked in we were told there were no vans by an employee. Then we were told they had one but it was dirty and at another area. I was told it was being cleaned for us but then 10 minutes later the gentleman who was supposed to be cleaning the vehicle walked out of the building to go clean it. We were on a schedule and didn’t get the van til over an hour after our scheduled time. Nobody there seemed to care and we were never offered any other option other than waiting

Reserved my rental car early in the morning and drove 45 miles to the airport to pick up and they told me I couldn’t pick up same day and that I could come back tomorrow. If I couldn’t pick up the same day then they should not have allowed me to reserve the car.

Huge line for pickup at MEM. Location was understaffed. Team there was working very hard, but closed while passengers were arriving late. Rental car was filthy -- likely no time for staff to clean it. Dropoff at BHM was very easy. It seems like Hertz needs to increase/lengthen its staffing model at MEM.

Easy pickup, new, clean, comfortable vehicle. Seamless, efficient, fast return.
There wasn’t even a car available for me when I was there and ended up being stranded because I was not a priority even with a reservation. I will never use them or their business again. And if they are in business with Kayak, maybe not Kayak either.

I had an SUV prepaid and reserved for a 10 AM pickup. When I got to the booth, I was told that there was a 90 minute to 2 hour delay. I waited over an hour then agreed to take a smaller car. I was told that there was no way to know when I could get the SUV I had paid for. There were 2 other people in front of me still waiting on SUV's. Then when I returned the car at 6 AM, they were not open. I had to drop it and hope it was still there and in good shape when they finally opened. DO NOT USE DOLLAR

I made a reservation months in advance through priceline and when I arrived there were several people ahead of me stranded. Dollar had no cars available and had made no attempts to alert people or make other plans. We were all just stranded. I ended up renting through another agency and now have to fight through priceline to get the refund for the portion prepaid. Breach of contract all around. I will never trust them again with any travel plans.

They did not have a car for me when I checked in. They told me to wait two hours and they would call me. They never called and they did not answer the phone when I called them. I called Kayak and not even Kayak could get a hold of them. Also the waiting area was just the dirty parking garage wall.
First, I paid for the car via Kayak. When I showed up to pick it up, I was told that third parties like Kayak had overbooked and there were no cars available. This left a lot of people stranded at the airport scrambling to try and find a car with another service. I would not suggest anyone use this if you want something guaranteed when you pay for it.

They don't honor same day reservations. So I make a reservation with Kayak, only to get to the Thrifty counter and find out they wouldn't honor it. I had to go to Alamo and ended paying $170 more than I was quoted for Thrifty. Poor experience.

Got to thrifty desk - no one in attendance -told by other customers that there was a 2 1/2 wait and no guarantee of a car. Cannot understand how you can book a car and then when you arrive no-one to serve you and then no avenue to cancel or contact the hirer. Will never use this service again. Totally the worst customer service I have ever used.

Nothing, was unable to use Enterprise
I booked reservation for 9pm. My flight was delayed 1.25h and when I arrived in Memphis, the Enterprise desk was closed. There was no warning or anything about it closing at 10p on the website or anything and at the desk no instructions on how to go about getting my rental from another desk. Had to walk around for an hour finding another rental place. At least 4 other parties were left stranded without rentals at 10p on a Thursday night.

I booked with another rental car company. I arrived at 9 PM to find 16 other customers waiting for cars that they had reservations for. I immediately booked a car with Alamo, picked it up and was on my way in about 15 minutes. Thank you so much for saving the day.
I made the reservation but when I arrived at the counter the agent said they didn’t have any cars. This is terrible service

When we arrived at the Memphis Airport at 0900 with a reservation, we expected to get a vehicle fairly quick. However we ended up waiting for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The lady working appeared to be disinterested with anyones concerns and refused to offer any help. In the meantime I walked to the second floor and saw several vehicles available that were being held for Avis Preferred and were still in the lot when we finally received our car almost two hours later.

We arrived at 7:00 to pick up a car we reserved at Memphis airport. When we arrived we were told (unapologetically) that there were no cars available, that there was a waitlist 20 families long and that we would get a car as each car came in and they worked down the waitlist. They were flippant about the fact that there were no cars available and when I asked why, her comment was, “they overbook”. We waited about 1.5 hours for a car. We ran into a family that got there around 7:45 and they had the unfortunate luck to not get a car till midnight. Apparently, people that came in after them were turned away at night, carless. Shame on Avis for overbooking!
