I have reserved with Avis three times now and theee times they have no car available when I got there. The third time I had called to confirm they were not out of cars. They said as long g as I arrive by 1pm I would get a car. I was there at 11:30. No cars available. I will never ever use Avis Budget again.6.4 Okay
Feb 2016
Pros:
Nice enough car.Cons:
The problem with these guys is always the same. I book them because the price is good but there is never enough people. At the airport their lines are always the longest. Which for me is a problem. There is never "pickup" because there is no one to come get you. I think I'll pay a little extra next time for better service and a couple hours more of my time back.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Not a thing. This was literally the worst car rental experience I've ever hadCons:
Here's the story - I booked ahead of time, pre paid to ensure we had a car. Decided to treat the family and surprise the kids with a convertible (they've never ridden in one, and hey why not? it's sunny southern California!). Got all confirmations aligned, had a pick up time and car agreed upon, was charged my full rate, figured I was good to go. WRONG! Because of the awful customer service from Kayak and this absolutely Terrible company Hertz I was stranded without a car and grossly overspent on Ubers to get me around for the week. Will NEVER use either Kayak or Hertz again... Two hours before the defined time (4pm) I get a call from the rental place. "Please call us back when you can" ... oh boy... I called was greeted by a VERY rude agent who was completely unapologetic - "we don't have a car for you." I got some lame excuse about other people not returning their cars, even though they had set up a rental with me. So, I waited while she ran through why I should care about what the company is going through. Finally had a chance to speak, "okay so where does that leave me?" - answered with the same "We don't have a car for you"... frustrating to say the least. So here I am, on vacation with my children, the excitement I wanted to see in their eyes fading. "Okay, so what other options are out there," I asked, knowing I had already paid for one of the most expensive cars they had, I figured they'd offer a discounted rate for an alternative car. Apparently htis company has never heard of customer service, instead they said the have no cars at all and offered me a cargo van...for me and my children. Not exactly a convertable...nor acceptable. In sort it ended with me not having a car, them saying that it's not their fault / problem and that I should not have booked through Kayak, because there is a technical gap that allows us to book cars that are actually not available. Because of Kayak and this absolutely Terrible company Hertz I was stranded without a car and grossly overspent on Ubers to get me around for the week. Will NEVER use either Kayak or Hertz again...2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
My reservation was not honored by Hertz. We had to run around town to find another rental at the last minute. My pick time was scheduled for 12 noon. We arrived at 12:10 only to find out the pick up place closed at 12 noon! WTF!!! I will not use your service again.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Ednar Mendez was super! It was easy to quickly get going and the drop off was fast as well.2.0 Poor
Jan 2019
Pros:
Nothing to like. Booked car. Took an hour ride to pick up car. They said they had no car for me, even though my booking was confirmed and showed on their computerCons:
Do not book hertz. If you book online it would be wise to call and confirm they have a vehicle. The website will let you book regardless of inventory. Stay away from La Jolla CA locationSan diego Van Rentals
