Worst decision ever to have picked up an Avis, especially in down time. They gave me a crashed car that had a tire pressure issue, got a flat tire in the 1st day I got it, the. They had no availability ti change it. I had to deopp of the car and stay car less for the rest of day while I could drive to the airport to rent with a better company.

I rented the car from 1pm 9/16 to 1pm 9/17 online, but I was delayed getting back and tried to return the car an hour late, but the place was closed when I got there. When I picked up the car nobody bothered to tell me that the office would be closing at the exact time I was scheduled to return the car (1pm on 9/17). So when I arrived an hour late, the place was locked. There was nobody there, and there was no way to return the car on site. It created a huge hassle. I had to call Avis. At first they told me I would have to return the car the following morning when the office opened up at 8 AM. Since I was leaving town I could not do that. Eventually they allowed me to return the car to the airport, and they doubled my rental rate.

Made a reservation for a rental car bc our flight got cancelled but they ran out of cars at one location. Took a city bus to a second location where the reservation customer service rep said there was a car. There also not a car. Ended up having to take a train to DC. 0/10 recommend.

Letting people know the pick up location is inside the Sheraton hotel would be helpful. There is no signage and I was in an Uber whose driver went nuts because we could not find the AVIS location. We finally asked the valet and he told us it was inside… tucked into a closet-sized corner.

The rental office turned away multiple people with reservations because they had no cars! We got lucky and got the 1 car that was delivered. Poor communications: I asked to modify the reservation for a later return but they didn’t and charged me a late fee on top of extra hours. Never emailed or gave me a receipt. But the car we got was in fine condition, no problems.

Booked with kayak where drop off was on Monday memorial day. When I arrived to pick up the car I was told that it's closed on Monday so I'd either have to drop off the car on Sunday or Tuesday, but the cost would be adjusted based on the current rates. Even the manager claimed they were unable to allow me to drop it off on Tuesday for the same price. I had to call the agency's customer service number to get anyone to accommodate and honor my reservation

Absolutely awful. Reservation wasn't able to be moved from downtown Philadelphia to the airport location. The downtown location closed at 4 but our flight was delayed so we were unable to get there on time. Guy at the desk at the airport hertz straight up told us he can't help us. Didn't attempt anything. Ended up paying TWENTY NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a reservation I made that was supposed to be $900. Dumpster fire of a situation and won't be using kayak for this ever again. Nor Hertz for that matter. Get bent.

I made a reservation at least 2 weeks in advance. I showed up to the location and was told 1) that location doesn’t have any cars and 2) that no Hertz location in Philadelphia had a rental car for me (including the airport, Thrifty and Dollar rentals)… the arrangements we were able to make in the end, and the cost of moving around during a downpour thunderstorm, was over 4 times the cost of the rental we were able to procure. This is not the first time Hertz hasn’t had a car available when I’ve showed up for a reservation. It will certainly be the last time I book them.

We arrived at the Wood St location and they told us they didn't have any vehicles. We then had to call Hertz and complain and find another location to get a car. They sent us to Amtrack location and got us in a dirty minivan after waiting 2.5hrs.

I reserved a car online and received a confirmation number. On arrival at the location I was told no cars were available and to the call the main reservation number. There I was told an another close location had a car and I reserved it and received a confirmation number. Again when I arrived, no cars were available. This is truly unacceptable.
