I searched for airport rentals and the listing came up. No where did I see that KAYAK had expanded my search for all of San Diego. I reserved a car and went to pick it up at the airport only to be told that my pick up location was located 12 miles away. The Hertz agent says it happens all the time. This is KAYAK's fault. It cost me $30 and an extra hour to take an UBER to the pick up location. KAYAK should be reimbursing me the extra cost and compensating me for the extra time but I'm sure they won't.

We were never told, nor saw that Hertz closed at 5pm. Our flight did not arrive until 4:45, and the Hertz location was still 20 minutes away (which we were also NOT notified about until someone called). So, I had to find another rental that was available. Thanks to AVIS, we were able to find the car we needed without issue.

This was THE WORST car rental experience that I have ever had! I tried renting a car at a place near me and I received a response indicating that my car would be ready. Shortly thereafter I received a text that the car I had reserved was NOT available - in fact, there were no cars available. So, I tried another place and the result was exactly the same - no cars available! But, there is no indication that no cars are available BEFORE making the reservation!!! I will NEVER use this website again, EVER!!!

This was the worst rental experience I have ever had by far! The website let us book our rental for when we needed it…the day of our initial start to our travels we got a call from the company saying that the facility would be closed by the time we got in and that we wouldn’t be able to pick up our car. After being transferred to customer service/being on the phone for over an hour and being told it would be an extra ~$900, we tried to see what other avenues we could go down…finally the facility agreed to carry our reservation over to the next day. WELL. Next day comes around and they gave our reservation away, because they “don’t hold reservations.” Mind you, we don’t have transportation, have multiple bags, and are traveling with a 1 month old. The facility was finally able to get us a car but not without attitude from staff because they had to drive elsewhere to get it. The car was very cramped and given to us on 42% of a charge granted it was just returned, but nonetheless another inconvenience to our rental experience. We looked up our reservation to see if we could possibly take it to a different location for drop-off (we couldn’t) and the car we did end up getting wasn’t even tied to our reservation…it was the original car we were supposed to get…hoping this was taken care of in their system and glad it didn’t cause us anymore issues. Luckily, drop-off was a little smoother. Anyways. Do NOT recommend. The encounter was with Hurtz. 6609 Mira Mesa Blvd. San Diego, CA.

Sales person kept attempting to raise the rental car price with all the rental car accessories….when you refused the salesperson would overly push them. I wound up leaving with no rental car.

I love the smooth efficiency. More choices would have been nice but I also liked it that the place was small—on balance I prefer the smaller place even if it meant fewer choices of cars.

Terrible experience. Never got the car, rental location was closed and airport location wouldn’t assist, told me that’s what I get for going through a third party. Extremely rude. Non refundable fee, so out the money, everyone with our travel group was appalled. Rebooked with Avis through Costco.

My experience totally sucked! I booked a car online through kayak. I specified that I was picking the car up at the San Diego airport. As it turns out when I went to actually get the car at the San Diego airport the very well-mannered clerk informed me that the car was actually closer to del Mar in San Diego county which is a $50 taxi ride away. Talk about bait and switch. .. I managed to get another rental at San Diego airport but I will never get snookered again
