KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Mount Pleasant

I booked a car online as I had an out of town doctor appointment on Monday and they called me the next day and told me that despite the system allowing me to make a reservation they actually had no cars available until Tuesday. You need to fix your system.

Pros:

Pickup was fast, nobody was at the desk for drop off.

Cons:

I reserved a large SUV (Tahoe) and got a medium sized SUV (Traverse), was not compensated for the smaller vehicle and had an uncomfortable trip. The “oil change” warning came on right away so I worried about the vehicle maintenance during my entire 11 day trip which was stressful. The vehicle was dirty and smelled like cigarettes. I don’t think I’ll rent from enterprise in the future.

Pros:

Quick return of car. Price.

Cons:

Car cleanliness. Had not been vacuumed or anything. Stains on the seats. Payment was strange and had to wait for the Hertz staff member to get phone approval for the charge from the Hertz rental's bank. It was strange and I was nervous about why it happened for such a small charge.
