It was really good store manager change my drop off point so I didn’t have to go downtown and catch a cab to the airport with no extra charge he was really good pay for a tank of gas ahead of time but he knew it was only half full so he didn’t charge me for a whole tank trade me for a half a tank very accommodating

When this rental was booked I was supposed to be able to pick up the car at the Hertz rental at the airport. When I got there the agent at the rental dept told me that the rental had been booked at Hertz downtown C. Rapids and, "we're sorry but they're closed for the day." The only way I could get a rental was to do a whole NEW rental. The pre-paid rental money would be lost. I was stuck and had to get a new rental. The whole experience was terrible.

The building is a dump, but the service was good, the car was clean, and it was quick and easy.

We had to take a 14 mile taxi ride from the airport to pick up the car at the Cedar Rapids location despite making the reservation using the CID airport code. A $45 cab ride one way. This was apparently a common deception according to the Hertz folks when reservations were made by Priceline. According to them the number of customers this happened to was in the triple digits. Beware. There was probably some fine print that over a hundred former Kayak/Priceline customers missed. This was a deliberate deception. Hertz did a solid recovery job for us but still.....

This neighborhood rental was just as good as renting from an airport location. I was delayed in arriving in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I called ahead to let them know that I may not get there until after they close and they told me to call when I got in town indicating they were prepared to accommodate me even if it meant staying a little longer that day. The value was very good.

I thought I had the car rented for 7:30AM - but did not get there until 8:09. The counter gal pulled up aside of me with the same car I rented while I was sitting there - shortly after 8AM. As there was no one at the counter, the sign said to call a number which I did. Whoever answered told me they had been trying to call me at my cell number. The phone was laying on the seat beside me, and there was no call history regarding these 'calls'. He told me the car wouldn't be available until 10AM, or later...even though it obviously was sitting there. I needed to be in OKC that day - then let it sit for 2.5hrs. Obvious they didn't wash it - because it was dirty when I got in it. No clue what was going on with it. I even drove to Enterprise in-between. Had they had a car, I would have been gone, and the car could have just sat there. But they didn't. The last time I rented from the airport, the guy was pissed I rented off the NET at a lower price, and instead of giving me the car I rented - which would have been a Camry, he decided I needed to drive a Nissan about the size of a butter box. I also was going to OKC at that time. I drove it. No clue how the motor stayed in it - but I drove it. Figured if I blew it up, at least I would have gotten what I wanted in the first place. I will try my best never to rent from Waterloo Airport again. This is just bullshit.

Miscommunication, reserved a car in town and it was closed by the time we arrived at 4:00 PM. Had to UBER to and from the airport cost $60.00 total. Had to rent a car from the airport which was $350.00 more than what was reserved. Very disappointing that when making the reservation no one told us about them closing at 4:00 PM the same time our flight landed

We expected a Ford Escape but received a Nissan Murano. Very nice vehicle for our trip.

The previous renter smoked in the car even tho they have a non-smoking policy. The car was not detailed and had gunk in the cup holders, etc. The insurance was horrid - $30 extra per day. We paid a few dollars more than what Kayak said, but the insurance was a joke. I'll never rent from Avis again ever.
