We got a brand new Audi SUV that had only 9 miles on it. Of course it was fabulous. Only one slight issue, it didn’t have a USB port for my phone. The 2 ports it did have I’ve never seen and I didn’t have an adapter for. If I was on a road trip I would have had to buy one.

The experience was great. Someone had smoked in our vehicle though which was very unpleasant because we don’t smoke. We didn’t notice as we picked it up because they had just detailed the car and it smelled like cleaning products. We told the person who did the intake on the cars on the return and he was very nice and apologized and reduced the price of the rental for us.

Waited an hour and a half for no service. Everyone in line also waited that long but some people just ended up leaving for renting from another company: this is not HERTZ it’s a franchise working with hertz and the service is extremely slow. Only one person on the counter. Worst service I’ve experienced in a car rental ever: unfortunate for hertz to be represented this way.

I bboked the reservation that morning, because the rate was $60 dollars cheaper than Alamo for the same car. When i got to the counter, there was no one there for 10 mins and when she arrived she asked if i booked the reservation today. When i said yes, she said we have no cars and that was it. Zero help in getting me something. I will not book through Kayak again!!!!

I ordered a car prior to my trip and received a conformation. When I arrived to pick it up, I was told that that car was not available, and would be upgraded to a minivan for the same price. I was very adamant with the rep that it was for the same price. She confirmed it was. However, when I paid for it the billing as $100.00 more. I did question it, and was told to take it up with billing. .. I feel this was the old switch and bait game.. When I returned the car, there was only one person checking cars in and out and had no time to help with this. Totally understand. She gave me the info as to where I can sent her this same info and she will look it over.

Gave my car away because my flight was delayed. What’s the point of a reservation if they can just take it away without any warning? Customer service apparently isn’t a priority for this company.

My only gripe was paying $80 for 5 gallons of gasoline. I understand it was my responsibility to fill the tank but not being from that area. I assumed they were gas stations closer to the airport so I take full responsibility for that but $20 a gallon for gasoline seems to be an awful lot, and the vehicle was not very clean!

We waited in line at the rental car desk for about one hour. No one was at the Thrifty desk, so we were told to wait at the Hertz desk along with many others. Our wild card rental turned out to be a pick-up truck, which was OK for us, but might not work for others.

in terms of pickup and drop off in the garage, could have been better. need more signage for pick up. went to desk in garage and told to go " over there" but no one was there. asked another area and told to go somewhere else. finally someone came. was given a midsize car instead of compact that I had signed up for because no compacts available. I just prefer smaller cars for my driving habits/comfort but it worked out. On drop off, went into one of the lanes that said drop off car and was told to go in another lane.

Pick up was terrible. Took over an hour because cars were not ready or available even though I had a reservation. Inefficient process of waiting in a line inside the airport and then another line just as long in the parking deck.

Poor|Apr. 2023

The pickup process at the airport took two hours. Budget/Avis only had one person checking people in at the counter which was not adequate for the number of people waiting to pickup a car. Also, the cars were not available at the airport for pickup so we all had to wait again to be picked up by a shuttle van to drive us to another parking lot to get a car. The entire process took over 2 hours, which is unacceptable. Budget/Avis was the only company at the airport having this issue. I will not rent from them again at the Charleston airport.

Poor|Apr. 2023

This was the worst rental experience I have ever had. After waiting in one line to check in for my car, I had to wait in another line for almost an hour and a half to actually get a car because there weren’t any available. Of course, the representative at the counter did not mention anything about this as I was checking in. So I was late for something very important as a result. The car was very dirty on the inside, it smelled horrible, and the first of multiple service lights came on within the first day. There was nothing I liked about the experience at all other than having some form of transport, and the whole entire experience could have, and should have, been better.

Ace is a no frills setup, which allows customers to rent cars far below the cost of your typical car rental business. However, similar to super budget airlines (like Spirit), you will get what you pay for. The staff isn't particularly friendly (that's not universal - a few are wonderful) and there appears to be a bit of a culture of "customer is always wrong," which creates a bit of a hostile environment, we noticed.

Not clear that rental counter is not in airport. Should have received instructions to call for shuttle when we got there. First car we received had expired registration and battery issues. We exchanged it for a different car the next day and it smelled like vomit. They ran out of cars so the people behind us had to wait for a return. Would never rent from them again.

The vehicle was available without a long wait at the counter. There was however a long wait at the airport for pick up . The driver was not at all courtesy.. We were told we had too many suitcases and he would have to return and pick us up even though there were only two passengers inside the vehicle. Eventually, we went with him after we told him we were able to put the additional bag inside the vehicle ourselves.. We had no problem lifting the bags inside the vehicle , because they were ours.. I didnt want to wait any longer at the airport because we had a long drive a head of us and we already waited around for the pickup..

We reserved a car rental 3 months out from our trip. When we arrived, the staff at Dollar said there were no cars available and could not guarantee us a vehicle until another was returned. They couldn't say how many vehicles were scheduled to be returned and when. They placed us on a waiting list and said they would call. Then, I was informed that because we were "late" for our reservation (plane was delayed) we were bumped to the bottom of the waiting list. They said they couldn't tell us until 5pm if they had any vehicles turned in. That was 4 hours to wait with our luggage! Then we called back at 5pm they said that they had nothing available and no other Dollar rentals had cars. They said it was in the fine print that this could happen. We ended up booking a car rental through Hertz for 2x the quoted rate but at least they were willing to help us salvage our vacation. Not booking through Dollar ever again.

Nothing to like when you get to the airport and the Dollar rental company tells you you have to pick up your can on an off- site location which closes at 1pm and my reservation was for 1pm and I was standing on line since 12pm and there was nothing they could do, no other cars available only in 24 hours

Horrible experience - how can you accept a 1pm reservation if the place close at 1pm ? Kayak should know it better
