Easy pick up and drop off as well as great counter service
Car was not available at pickup. Only option offered was a different model (minivan vs full suv) at a different location. No compensation offered. Returned the car earlier and was denied refund of early time. Charged a bogus cleaning fee when no extra cleaning was performed. Repeatedly lied to by store manager.

Reserved a Manager Special at $135/day and upon arrival was given something they are renting for $33/day EV. Had the hardest time to find a place to charge and called customer service to return and swap for a gas car. The manager on duty wanted to charge me an upgrade for the days I had already used plus the one I haven’t used yet. When I asked what exactly was Special about the car I got for a $100 extra/day, he had the audacity to tell me that it’s their discretion to give me anything on the lot as a SPECIAL. Be careful when paying a whole lot extra for their SPECIAL, you will get the cheapest car on the lot. The EV was eventually swapped for a gas car with 60k on the odometer and a check engine light on the dash. Luckily I made it to my destination!

The pickup at Houston Bush was terrible. Took over an hour to get me car. When I arrived there were about a dozen people ahead of me in line, with two clerks at the counter. After about ten minutes, both clerks finally finished with their customers, at which point one clerk shut down her station & left for the night, promptly at 7:00pm, leaving the remaining clerk to work through the long line of customers. When I finally got my car, the poor guy still was solo and there were at least another dozen customers waiting behind me - probably would be another hour before they got THEIR cars. Terrible service!!! First time in a long time I’ve used Hertz, will probably not do so again. However, the car was nice, the return three days later smooth & painless.

Renting the car in Houston was great. Dropping it off in Park City was worse than usual. Plus I was charged $200 in extra fees on top of my prepaid rental.
Everything was excellent. The only thing I couldn’t do was pre-check in, for some reason their app wouldn’t scan my drivers license.

I made a reservation for a specific car class. When I got to the rental counter, I was forced to accept an upgrade of $30 more because they didn't have any cars in the class I reserved. Classic bait and switch
Never was able to get in a car. They did not have the car I rented available and sent me on a 6 hour wild goose chase to different enterprise locations.

We had to wait a while during pickup as there weren’t many cars available at the time. Then an employee gave us a bigger since we were waiting for a long time for the size we had reserved (holiday weekend). But then a manager didn’t want to do after we had already put all our luggage into the car. So they made us take all our stuff out of the car and wait longer. Eventually we got the car and everything went well. We were compensated for the inconvenience and long waiting so overall experience was good.
Upon my return from an international flight, I had four pieces of luggage on the trolly. I had initially reserved a mid-size SUV through Kayak, but Avis provided a sedan instead. Furthermore, I was required to retrieve my vehicle three times due to discrepancies in its assigned location. The third vehicle had a noticeable odor of WEED, which was acknowledged by an Avis employee at the ground , prompting a fourth vehicle assignment. This process consumed approximately an hour, which was quite frustrating.

Even though we reserved a car online, when we went to pick it up we were turned away because they were running low on vehicles. This was after taking a shuttle from the airport at around 12AM with two kids in tow.

New car was not clean when received. Staff was unfriendly. Car battery died twice and they cared little for our inconvenience. In total had to wait 5 hours for roadside assistance. Little communication beyond making sure they read me every disclaimer that I was responsible for the vehicle and may be charged for roadside assistance.. As of right now, no one has reached out and they still have not reimbursed me for the day without a car. Total disaster.

The rental process was great. Quick and easy. Got a great price through Kayak. Would rent through them again.
One of the worst experiences renting a car I ever had. I was stranded in the middle of the road as the agency had closed down with no notifications or any way of letting me know. What a terrible, terribly run company

Dollar did not have a vehicle for me upon my arrival, despite having a reservation for two weeks. They also had no alternatives and no recommendations, so we were basically stranded upon arrival over 800 miles away from home. Thankfully, Enterprise was able to accommodate us.

Had to wait about an hour to get the car. When the car finally showed up, it was filthy inside. By that time I just wanted to leave, went straight to the hotel and cleaned the inside of the car myself. Stay away from dollar/Thrifty. Absolutely not worth it.

I didn't get a car from dollar, got it from hertz and charged twice.
The paperwork portion of the rental was exceptionally fast. The shuttle took a little longer than I expected. The pickup agent was great. The shuttle driver gave great recommendations regarding places to eat. The drop off was very convenient near the airport.

I arrived on time with confirmation number. Rented way in advance and was told they did not have the car I reserved! I needed a 7 passenger van. The kicker was that the women manning the desk had no concern whatsoever and just kept repeating they only had a 5 passenger vehicle and they could not help that someone had not returned the vehicle I rented. Sorry but yea, it could be helped. I will never use kayak again as it is simply an automated system of renting with no regard concerning the customer. Ace rentals is pathetic.

I knew something was amiss when we came out to the car rental pickup and there were no ACE shuttles. I finally got through to the office and they indicated that a shuttle was there when we said our flight came in, and had since left. So we had to wait 15 minutes for another shuttle. The pick-up was in a strip shopping area, and looked like a consignment store. All kinds of signs screaming that the unlimited mileage wouldnt apply if you went over the border out of TX, and that you couldn't bring guns or drugs into the cars. The office was a tiny desk and there were all sorts of old toys around the office. So weird. The car we received had just been returned from a fender-bender, and had all sorts of dents and marks on it. There were holes in the upholstery. There were over 109k miles on the car- and the registration was over 6 months out of date. It's kind of laughable really- we asked for another car and they said none of the cars that were supposed to come back actually did. Over the border maybe???? The staff were nice and did the best they could, but I would never rent from them again.

I did not even get to use your service.. I was not even notified that I had to call to have someone pick me up me up. When I finally called they couldn't find my reservation even though I had a reservation. I was stuck at the airport. This is a lousy service. You should send a detailed message to your clients telling them exactly what they need to do.. I will never use your service again .

Staff was very nice and helpful. Pick up and drop off was very simple and convenient.
Their cars can be inspected better before renting them out to customers. The first rental that was provided brakes and tires were very worn. They did switch us out into a newer vehicle they following day.
