The car was clean and had plenty of bells and whistles. The process was fast and simple.

Because of COVID, I was hoping for plates from New England. There was exactly one car available at my reserved price point and it had New York plates. There were plenty of cars if I cared to move up to the next level. This seemed planned.

The process to pick up/drop off the car was easy and smooth! The car we received was functionally fine and drove well, but there were minor outer dents and the front bumper slightly poking out that were somewhat minuses/concerning a bit. The main concern and issue I had was that I bought collision insurance via the 3rd party platform with Kayak to rent a car from Enterprise; however when I met up with the Enterprise rep, they told me the collision insurance I bought didn't transfer over so they had to confirm with me before giving me the insurance on their end. That was the only concern I experienced so I hope for those purchasing insurance via Kayak will be able to get it from the actual car vendor too.

It was convenient. I was told that we would be picked up, just call. Called the 800 number was told to hold for a minute was on over 45 minutes, had my husband call the local they never answered. Gave up on the 45 minute hold. Took a taxi when we got there was told they don't pick up on weekends. I had called before I left for the trip and specifically told them where I would be and the day and was told no problem. They did make an adjustment for part of the taxi fare. Return was pretty easy. But the girl didn't know the number you had to call for the shuttle. Fortunately we hit a very nice lady who helped us out.

When I arrived, the car I booked was not allowed to be received with the card I had paid with. Extreme rules that you can only rent with a debit card if you return to the same location and have an outbound flight ticket. But I booked a one way rental Boston to Albany, with a train ticket home. Shouldn't be allowed to rent with a card I won't be able to complete the trip with. Or needs to be EXTREMELY indicated. Very disruptive and disappointing part of the trip, I won't feel confident renting on Kayak again.

I went to the rental location. I was told that they did not have any cars. While waiting for an uber to go back to the hotel, someone returned a car that was then provided to me. While all of this was happening, I asked to use the restroom and was told it was only for employees. When I was finalizing my rental agreement, another customer came in and asked for the restroom while he waited, and he was told it was ok to use it. So, why was a paying customer like myself denied the use of the restroom, and another paying customer was allowed to use it? Is it because I am hispanic? I was also charged an extra fee for the car, because I had reserved a compact car, and I got a full car. Was this my fault? That you ran out of inventory? I had to take the first car that came in!!!

Rented a car to drive from Boston to South Carolina- 1st car got said “maintenance needed” when we started it-exchanged it. 2nd car- start it “oil changed needed” and the “key fob not detected” flashed when it started- already wasted 40 minutes so decided to take it. Exiting the parking lot we heard strange noises coming from the passenger front, we decide to exchange this car, but we have to drive a bit to get back to the return area. We are at the set of lights and the car dies! We get it started again, return it- get the 3rd car - it’s filthy. Hasn’t been cleaned- still has the previous renters paperwork and trash in it. We just took it- we were by now running an hour and a half behind schedule. The return was not as bad, but severely understaffed and people were waiting 45+ minutes for their cars.

The highlight of our experience was on rental car return when the return manager noticed we had young children and eagerly offered to have us driven up to the airport departures rather than have to take the bus from the rental car area to the terminal with all our bgs and kids.

We were well taken care of after an initial hiccup of not knowing the dealer closed at 3:30 pm. We were forced to rent a car at full rate for the first night which was expensive.

The check-out person at the garage was very nice.

We waited in line for almost 30 minutes to get our car, and the rep, who was very nice, moved at a snails pace. By the time we got to our car, we had to wait another 10+ minutes as there was a line of cars getting checked out to leave the garage. In the end, it took 90 minutes in total from the time I got off my plane until I left the garage with my car.

Was economical. Car was fine, pretty typical rental process.

Employees are trained to try to get you to purchase all the useless extras. The counter pickup experience is very slow, with the process sometimes taking 20-30 minutes for a single customer as they try to convince them that the insurance and extras are worth it. It's not that much different than other rental places, but definitely slower and slightly more obnoxious. Still, I'll always go with the cheapest rental.

Good price, nice car

Our flight was changed due to a storm and when I called Advantage, the phone agent said as long as we picked it up within 24 hours of our original reservation, the car would be held for us and no changes needed to be made for the reservation. However, when we arrived, with our young children who had just traveled by plane, the car had NOT been held for us and we'd been marked down as a "no show." When we told the agent at the desk (Alexandra Garcia in Boston) that we'd called ahead, she said we could pay extra for a more expensive car, but she took no responsibility for the problem and was incredibly rude. What a horribly disappointing experience.
