Liked the vehicle and liked the agent at the pick-up location. Did not like them not having a car ready for us at the scheduled time. Had to wait for them to receive a car back and then clean it up for us. Also did not like the drop off location. Extremely confusing to find.

We had a very comfortable, fuel-efficient Volkswagen Jetta. Great car and very friendly helpful staff. We were even offered a ride after dropping off the car...we accepted and appreciated saving a few dollars on cab fare.

Car was small and not what ordered. Passenger door would only open on outside. Car had a knock in the steering column and tire pressure was low when picking up vehicle so had to find a gas station with air. Unacceptable and over paid for the car. Will not use budget again or the kayak app

There was an extremely long line of customers waiting to get their cars with only 2 employees working, one of whom was being monitored which slowed her down immensely. The process was made longer due to the questionable requirement of the agent to try to upgrade you to a more expensive car and then to buy extra car insurance. Maybe if you cannot staff adequately you could forgo the extra sales efforts? Or maybe the lady standing there watching could fire up a terminal and get some travelers on their way?

Very accommodating, had no issue at all except at check in, the clerk wanted me to sign the inspection slip of the car without actually going out to inspect the car before leaving.. maybe he was new and that’s ok bc I just advised that we should go look before signing anything..

Car rentals always end up costing more than the initial quote. It would be helpful to provide all additional options/charges up front. Having said that the staff at pick-up and return were very friendly; we got an upgrade, and the car was spotlessly clean. Would definitely book again. The clincher was rushing back to the car when I realized I’d lost my wallet when we got to the check-in area at departures….to hear the attendant we’d dropped the car off with saying “hear she is” and returning my wallet (with ID needed for travel) with a smile!

Just didn't know where to drop off keys at 5.30 a.m. at the airport. Had to go into the terminal to ask. First time dropping a car so early. But found it. A sign would have been nice. Or maybe I missed it. 🤔

Loved that Hertz allowed a drop off at a different location. Communication about drop off point differed on paperwork compared to online confirmation. It all worked out.

My experience with my car rental was overall excellent. In particular, the staff person was very efficient, friendly, and he multi-tasked smoothly. These attributes were especially noticeable as it was very busy and the storm, Fiona, was just receding. Than you for the car and for the service.

Dollar Westin Hotel Halifax 1. Was very long in attending to me while the attendant was on a long break. 2. failed to clean the car upon handover; 3. Gave us 2 keys together with unbreakable wire. 4. Upon return would not inspect the car at all with me when asked, and said he was busy with customers ( none there for 25 minutes) while talking to his girlfriend. 5. Did not leave manual in car. 6. Neither Attendant asked the customer if everything wss OK.

Horrible|Oct 2021

The pick up experience was dreadful. We went the day before we were to pick up our car rental to ensure that everything was in place. We were assured that the mid size car we rented and paid for would be there. When we returned the next day to pick up the car we were told that they only had a compact car available and that we should pay the extra for an SUV that was available. We said no that we wanted the mid size car we rented and paid for. The two attendants wasted 30 minutes trying to convince us to take the SUV. We refused and they finally said they would have to bring the car that we ordered from another location and that would take another 30 minutes. We did not appreciate the attendants wasting our time. The drop off was much less onerous. Dropped the keys left a phone number and email address.

We had a reservation for a compact car, and were offered an upgrade to a larger car at no charge. Had a Hyundai Sonata, very nice car with good fuel economy.

We arrived at Halifax airport late (9:30 PM), and called the number. No answer. Waited about 10 minutes, called again, go someone to pick us up. Staff should have headsets to be able to answer phone wherever they are, to avoid panic attacks by customers.

Car was good fitted with satnav fitted and we received an upgrade

Rental company would not accept vehicle excess insurance which had been purchased, so we had to take full insurance with the rental company which was more expensive and then claim a refund on the external policy
