We felt bad when we dropped off the vehicle that the spikes ruined a tire. It's hard to see coming into the parkade from the bright sun, while looking for signage of where to go. A different system would be helpful, or signage warning about the spikes.

We called prior to pickup to notify our flight was delayed to make sure they wouldn’t give our car away. They wanted to cancel and rebook the reservation. They canceled but then could not get a car because there were none available. We had to go with another company and had to pay double what our reservation was with kayak. Not happy with this experience. Also they refund was $100 less than what we paid. Will now have to fight with Hertz to fight for $ back. Not happy at all

Customer service is horrible. I called to change the pick up time. They don’t know how to do this if the car is prepaid. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Customer service told me they would call back, they never did. I pre purchased the vehicle, at the pickup I was told the vehicle is only partially paid. I paid for the vehicle, then was charged again for the full price. I will never get a car from Hertz again!

The price doubled when I did the pickup of the vehicle and this is clearly due an unclear and intentioned hidding cost policy of Kayak. I will never book nothing else using Kayak. You cheat, you lie, you’re not true.

Too much upselling at check out. Would not accept that I already bought insurance when booked rental. Kept trying to sell a tank of gas when I knew I’d return with a tank…No signs to navigate to car rentals from main exit of airport. Had to ask several people. Car dirty on pick up.

Good : upgraded (I did NOT request) clean, comfortable satndard SUV. NOT so good : 1 - Only 1 Budget representative to serve customers, while there were 5 persons waiting in line. I waited ~40 minutes until my turn. 2 - Budget representative offered an upgraded car (I did NOT request), & then tried to charge ~15%/$116 more. When I mentionned the difference, he tore down the contract & issued a new one, but he did not apologize. 3 - When I declined the Loss damage waiver & mentioned that the credit card insurance will cover, Budget representative said/threatened he will not talk with the insurance company & will charge the total cost of the car to my credit card. 4 - The car has a spare tirem but NO jack. The jack kit was taken out of the car. Budget iimposed a charge of $14/day for Roadside safety net/flat tire repair.

They called me when I was on my way and had no cars. The address featured on the site was also incorrect. This was extremely frustrating and ruined my trip, Driving Force should not be on Kayak because all the information is wrong and they blamed me for it instead of taking accountability for their online information being wrong.

Car was new and clean and drove well. Staff at the office was nice and friendly. Price was fair. They did not hassle me about getting insurance.

Called the office to have the shuttle come pick me up at the airport. It took 40 minutes for them to arrive. Then their garage is another 15-20 minutes from the airport. If you are flying in and out of the airport and time and convenience is important to you, rent from someone at the airport.

I must have phoned the number at the airport, the 1-888 number and gone on the website to cancel the reservation 10 times. The phone numbers were useless, nobody ever picked up and the online took multiple tries to get a confirmation cancellation, I finally went to another company and would not ever try the company again.
