My flight was delayed. Landed in Honolulu at 2 am . The main customer assistant told me that the rental car office would be closed and that I would need to come back after 5 am to get the car. Another assistant didn’t know this and said the car would be there at 2 am . I tried telling him that someone earlier told I would have to come back to the airport to get the car . The fact that there was confusion bothered me

The vehicle we rented had some electrical issues and enterprise agent was very kind and said we are welcome to take it back and they can see what can be offered, but we were figured out how to safely use the trunk. The trunk would automatically close without any trigger, upon opening, it will just close, after 4-5 tries, it would stay open. Experience with enterprise agent was great, she explained everything very well and was very friendly and helpful.

We waited 90 minutes for a car. 90 minutes. The type we reserved wasn’t available so we were given a gas guzzler. We drove back to the airport the next day and got a different car - a beat-up Elantra with 47,000 miles on it. We were told it was “ready to go.” It was a blatant lie - it was filthy and spent the next hour cleaning the windows and vacuuming. Really lousy experience.

Bait and switch here. Ordered a Jeep Grand Cherokee or similar and pre paid. They gave me a miled out Hyundai Santa Fe. Car was dirty when picked up and had a low tire which the alarm went off all the time. I was too tired to argue but did ask if they had something better to drive and they tried to give me a truck. Car ran poorly and was terrible. Here comes the good part. Charged me another $110 when I dropped it off. It says taxes and fees which were all included in the pre pay. Got me once but never again. Then the guy at the counter has the balls to ask me for a tip. I thought this was a luxury car rental but it’s the same as the others only worse because they are not truthful. I could have got a Santa Fe at any of the others for much less.

Car was dirty on pick-up and had body damage, and paint scratches on it. There was nobody to check us out and do a walk around. The car was what we had requested: a mustang convertible. Having the ability to pull the top down while cruising around Maui was amazing, but there is a serious lack of trunk and cabin space which made packing for the beach and airport a little challenging. We kept saying all trip long, “Next time, let’s get a Jeep.”

I booked a car for pick up at 4:30 pm on 5/27/22. The honolulu airport budget seemed to have minimal cars available. I was told that even though I had a pick up time, it was going to be about an hour wait. Given the fact I had dinner plans, I had to cancel the reservation. I booked an Uber instead.

Everything was great except for the fact that there is a second hertz location in Kahului that is not at the airport. This shouldn't be a problem except it is not clear on Kayak or Pricelune this is the case. They also close at 3PM so no help when you get to the airport at 10pm. I had to spend for an additional day at absorbidant prices to get to my accommodation. Then had to return to Kahului to get my contract switched to the correct location the following day!

We had easy pickup and drop-off. We upgraded to a convertible since there was a discount and I wanted to use one for our trip, but as soon as we agreed to the vehicle I feel like the representative stopped listening and didn’t answer a number of questions my husband and I had. She was like, “It’s fine, just get in, just get in!” Everything worked out in the end but it made the initial experience more stressful than necessary. If upgrades and deals are offered for very different names/models/sizes at the counter, some time should be allotted for customers to feel comfortable with their decision.

Car not well-maintained. Needed a mechanic. I received a new car that had been treated poorly by previous drivers; wear and tear was evident, including an unidentifiable (and somewhat alarming) hard rattle from somewhere near the rear wheels. (Suspension? Axle? Bad shocks?) I only felt comfortable in the car because I was not traveling long distance.

hour long line on pickup.. only 2 agents working.. called day 10 to extend rental ... they insisted on using the same Visa confirmation number which was used on the original rental. crazy... called our bank/visa... need to apply to same card but new confirmation... bank said "happens all the time with Thrifty".. banks not going to re-open a confirmation... just put through another.. therefore, per Thrifty in India, we had to take a day of vacation, drive to Honolulu airport Thrifty, go through hour long line to "re-do" application to achieve extension... said hell with it.. called enterprise .. unloaded golf clubs, diving equipment etc from car, hauled from parking lot to room. Took car back to Thrifty on last day of contract, turned in, then walked around the airport to Enterprise and rented a substitute car for the rest of the stay.. Still lost a half day messing around with the problem.. plus "the hassle !!!!!" all because Thrifty's software is fouled up... plus the long line cking in, plus car with high mileage, plus passenger seat had "steel" frame which tore into you leg every time getting out of the SUV. Not good... no more Thrifty..

I reserved the car but still had to wait over an hour for them to bring it up. In addition, there were so many people waiting, there wasn’t any room under the canopy and most us scramble to find shade. It was scorching hot and they didn’t offer any water or allowed people to wait in the AC building. When I finally got my car, it was old and stained. The engine made a horrible noise when we started driving so we returned it immediately and rented another car from National.

I dropped my car off at the airport and was told to just leave the key in the car. So I left to catch my flight. Upon receiving my email receipt, I saw they charged me nearly $100 more than what I had paid for with no clear explanation as to what the extra charge was for. The receipts aren’t the easiest to understand so I have no idea what charges I incurred. Definitely not gas, since I returned it with a full tank. Such a rude way to charge me without notifying me. Will never book again.

The car was nice. It performed well. A customer service person, after some work on the phone, help me fix two of the issues.

The car was not completely clean, inside and out. But, the worst part, was that they rewarded me for spending more money - extending my rental - by almost doubling my daily rate. Also, they would not offer a weekly rate, even though I had the car for 8 days, because I initially started renting for only 4 days.

VERY SLOW pickup process. Each customer is at the counter 10-15 minutes, spending most of the time finding off agressive up-selling attempts - car upgrades, gas options, and mostly insurance add-ons. They hide the option of declining supplemental insurance altogether. Forcing you to choose between three levels. They pepper you with scare tactics. This all takes a lot of time. The car itself, not the model promised. Reserved a Toyota RAV5, got a large SUV. Poorer gas mileage and difficulty parking in resort's small parking spots. Car condition was pretty poor - lots of dings and scratches. Which need to be carefully documented, requiring more time. Car ran fine. Go with the major rental companies. You'll likely be about to pickup your reserved vehicle with little or no time spent at the counter.

Did not have SUV and gave us a mini van that we did not like. When we drove to our condo the tire pressure light came on. We then noted a tire with a slow leak that had been pumped up for rental. We called to return the car and the person in duty found and reserved an SUV for us, which was good but we had to pay for the gas to return to airport to return van! As a courtesy, the person also gave us a 90 minute extension to return the vehicle but only noted it in the file, we were charged a $35 overage and had to stand in line at counter to ask someone to read notes and adjust, which was done, but was another hassle. We were also told it would be best to buy a tank of gas at 3.29 per gallon, but we are not told it came with $30+ of airport taxes which was ridiculous. We had to call and get that changed too. We filled up the tank which was almost empty on the SUV for $40 at Costco vs the $85 you tried to charge us. TAXES on tsnk of gas should be disclosed. In addition we were renting car from 4pm to 5pm return assuming there was a one hour grace period that is standard. When flight arrived early so we picked up car at 3:30pm, agent charged us for two additional hours without disclosing it. Lots of sneaky things we didn’t notice on contract until we read the print out on way home. People at Kahului we’re all very nice and fixed all we needed. It’s not them that appear to be wrong, it’s the company. We will rent from you again but will not take a van, will not take gas, and will look for system sneaking extra hours on the contract.
