Gave my car away because my flight was delayed. What’s the point of a reservation if they can just take it away without any warning? Customer service apparently isn’t a priority for this company.

My only gripe was paying $80 for 5 gallons of gasoline. I understand it was my responsibility to fill the tank but not being from that area. I assumed they were gas stations closer to the airport so I take full responsibility for that but $20 a gallon for gasoline seems to be an awful lot, and the vehicle was not very clean!

Nice car, we asked for a mid size car and received a full size 2 door vehicle . It was a nice car, but not what asked for… overall a nice experience and a nice car and service

We waited in line at the rental car desk for about one hour. No one was at the Thrifty desk, so we were told to wait at the Hertz desk along with many others. Our wild card rental turned out to be a pick-up truck, which was OK for us, but might not work for others.

Waited an hour and a half for no service. Everyone in line also waited that long but some people just ended up leaving for renting from another company: this is not HERTZ it’s a franchise working with hertz and the service is extremely slow. Only one person on the counter. Worst service I’ve experienced in a car rental ever: unfortunate for hertz to be represented this way.

I bboked the reservation that morning, because the rate was $60 dollars cheaper than Alamo for the same car. When i got to the counter, there was no one there for 10 mins and when she arrived she asked if i booked the reservation today. When i said yes, she said we have no cars and that was it. Zero help in getting me something. I will not book through Kayak again!!!!

I ordered a car prior to my trip and received a conformation. When I arrived to pick it up, I was told that that car was not available, and would be upgraded to a minivan for the same price. I was very adamant with the rep that it was for the same price. She confirmed it was. However, when I paid for it the billing as $100.00 more. I did question it, and was told to take it up with billing. .. I feel this was the old switch and bait game.. When I returned the car, there was only one person checking cars in and out and had no time to help with this. Totally understand. She gave me the info as to where I can sent her this same info and she will look it over.

Took an hour to pick up rental car. Only 2 people in front of me in line and they did not have complex situations which would merit lengthy customer service time. Also was downgraded from a premium car without any further discount.

Our customer service woman was great, very friendly & personable!! The ONLY issue we have is that she said she was upgrading us & we didn’t feel as though the car she put us in was an upgrade. Other than that everything was perfect!! Would definitely rent from Hertz again!

We never got the car. Dollar had no cars available when we arrived. The attendant kept saying they were washing the cars and one gentleman in line had been waiting for over 2 hours for his car. I will not recommend Dollar to anyone.

We reserved a car rental 3 months out from our trip. When we arrived, the staff at Dollar said there were no cars available and could not guarantee us a vehicle until another was returned. They couldn't say how many vehicles were scheduled to be returned and when. They placed us on a waiting list and said they would call. Then, I was informed that because we were "late" for our reservation (plane was delayed) we were bumped to the bottom of the waiting list. They said they couldn't tell us until 5pm if they had any vehicles turned in. That was 4 hours to wait with our luggage! Then we called back at 5pm they said that they had nothing available and no other Dollar rentals had cars. They said it was in the fine print that this could happen. We ended up booking a car rental through Hertz for 2x the quoted rate but at least they were willing to help us salvage our vacation. Not booking through Dollar ever again.

Nothing to like when you get to the airport and the Dollar rental company tells you you have to pick up your can on an off- site location which closes at 1pm and my reservation was for 1pm and I was standing on line since 12pm and there was nothing they could do, no other cars available only in 24 hours

Horrible experience - how can you accept a 1pm reservation if the place close at 1pm ? Kayak should know it better

When we got to the counter we were told they had no car just a pick up truck available. I had prepaid for the car so I don’t understand why they released it. My husband and I had to taxi to the hotel and try to find another car for our stay in Charleston. Was very disappointed that they couldn’t do anything but apologize.

Pickup in Charleston was awesome. The drop off at Asheville airport was way too difficult. There were no carts anywhere to unload the vehicle before dropping off the keys. Which was on a different level in a different building. And no instructions anywhere in garage as to where to go.

Ace is a no frills setup, which allows customers to rent cars far below the cost of your typical car rental business. However, similar to super budget airlines (like Spirit), you will get what you pay for. The staff isn't particularly friendly (that's not universal - a few are wonderful) and there appears to be a bit of a culture of "customer is always wrong," which creates a bit of a hostile environment, we noticed.

Not clear that rental counter is not in airport. Should have received instructions to call for shuttle when we got there. First car we received had expired registration and battery issues. We exchanged it for a different car the next day and it smelled like vomit. They ran out of cars so the people behind us had to wait for a return. Would never rent from them again.

The vehicle was available without a long wait at the counter. There was however a long wait at the airport for pick up . The driver was not at all courtesy.. We were told we had too many suitcases and he would have to return and pick us up even though there were only two passengers inside the vehicle. Eventually, we went with him after we told him we were able to put the additional bag inside the vehicle ourselves.. We had no problem lifting the bags inside the vehicle , because they were ours.. I didnt want to wait any longer at the airport because we had a long drive a head of us and we already waited around for the pickup..
