Got there early, nice if I could get the car with no line but had to wait until the stroke of NOON what a waste of everyone's time and effort. Light / notice came on "check maintenance" not calming to see that ...

KAYAK is HORRIBLE! Confirmation for our Hertz car rental was for pick up at 12 noon on a saturday. Got there a few minutes after noon due to a flight delay and the Hertz office was CLOSED. They closed shop at 12 noon and didn't bother to let customers with confirmed rental agreements know even though they had our flight info. We were stranded without a car and had to pay a taxi $90 to drive us around the city for 2 hours looking for another car rental agency. Finally found another agency and of course had to pay full price since we didn't reserve in advance.

Drop off at LAX was a BREEZE. They even offered to drive us straight to Departures because we had so much luggage. I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.

I had two reservations with Budget - one immediately following the other because of a change of plans. In order for me to "modify" and consolidate the reservations into one, Budget said I would have to pay approximately $300 more. The modification would have saved not only me time and convenience, it would have done the same for Budget employees. This is for using the car for the same number of days (5). I left my phone number and e-mail with the Budget agent and asked that a supervisor review this. I never heard anything.

Never again. Had my reservation for nearly a month, never contacted me to tell me they had no vehicle of the size i needed. However gave ME a phone number to call since that branch might have one. All hours before my flight.

I booked at an Enterprise in downtown Santa Rosa that closed at 1pm on Saturdays, when my flight landed at 2:30. I specifically called days before to check that picking up closer to 3pm would be ok and they confirmed. When I landed, I see that the location is closed for the day and won't be open the next day either. This should have been made very clear before I booked the car. I last minute had to pay more for a new rental at the Enterprise at Santa Rosa airport, which was fine and I was lucky to get one last minute but not ideal.

They didn’t have a car for us

The kayak or Priceline interface changed the pickup location without my consent, and Enterprise didn’t have a car for us at the airport. I had to rent another car from a different company at more than double the cost. I called Priceline to see if they could offset the extra costs and they refused. I will not book a car through kayak or Priceline again.

The car was fuel efficient and compact which helped a TON in the greater Bay Area for travels.

The older model rented to me (based on the pricepoint but not entirely clear from the internet description) is an automatic that drives like a manual shift. Very specific feature of the Smart Car and was a little annoying when trying to pull a hill-side along the 101. Also, with high winds on the Richmond Bridge, the car felt VERY UNSAFE. The wind gusts were about 40-50mph and the car was swaying and wobbling in the lane. Yes, I knew to drive at a reduced speed but the bridge is 9miles long and it was a scary wind shaking 9mile drive. Something I didn't factor in.

The pickup and drop-off went very smoothly. The company was easy to work with and the car was very clean. This was my first time driving a smart car. It is more roomy and comfortable than I would have guessed. It doesn't have a lot of power, but it makes up for that in gas mileage. There were no issues with the car itself - it was in great shape. No complaints at all. I would definitely rent with Sixt again.

This was the worst experience with a car rental. The first Nissan Sentra had dents, faded paint, scratches, bad odor, cracked front windshield, and much more. I asked for a different car and they gave me a black Nissan Sentra. This looked half a star better. It was like driving a vehicle from 1996. When I returned the car, the person at ACE said they were surprised and thankful the car made it back. I will make sure I spread my experience with others.

Had to wait 20 minutes for help when picking up car. There was no one at the desk and no one was answering any of the phone numbers listed. There was no official paperwork, just a photo copy of my license that I had to write my number, email and insurance policy number on. The car was a little old and not the cleanest but comfortable enough.

the rental process was very easy. the minivan, however, was a real disappointment. we were told when we got the keys that they were aware that the van had some dents, so don’t worry. well it did have many, many dents, window shield chips, things missing on the exterior. it was the only car of the size we needed so we drove around the coast looking like a wreck, literally. the van was a 2008, so 14 years old. low mileage, though. we didn’t know we were renting from rent a wreck.
