They cancelled reservation day ahead saying they don’t have cars. You should stop listing when car is not available. Called Hertz and they didn’t helpReviewed 19 Feb 2026

Terrible experience. I booked a car and travelled to New Zealand thinking I have reserved a pick up truck. The old man with the silly accent at the car agency said no he does not have any car for me and he only has a pay load truck that is not suitable for driving around. I literally would have taken that truck but he refused to give it. I had to pay $2500 for 10 days car rental from this shady Chinese run car rental called Yes Rental in Christchurch. Way to go Kayak and Hertz for ruining a vacation like that. I had million other options and I chose Hertz as I thought I was booking through a dependable website and company. I hope one day you who is reading this end up in a similar situation and be stranded or pay $2500 for 10 days rental.Reviewed 19 Feb 2026

When we arrived to collect our booked car, I was told the booking had been cancelled & there was no car available. No communication to tell me the booking had been cancelled. The staff member was very unhelpful just saying that it wasn’t her problem because we booked through a 3rd party (Kayak). Luckily a super friendly person at another rental car company was able to help us out with a car. It did cost us $100 in taxis to get around between the airport, Hertz, then the new rental car company! All this because the car rental cancellation had not been communicated to me! Very frustrating. NEVER USING HERTZ OR KAYAK EVER AGAIN!!!Reviewed 29 Mar 2024
