I booked the rental with Kayak. About 30 minutes later, my local Hertz called me and said they had no vehicles available. I thought that was the end of it, but turns out Hertz expected me to let Kayak (apparently Hertz) know the rental was cancelled. So I was charged for the no call/no show fee by Hertz and for the rental insurance I never used. I had to call three different companies to get my money back.

They didn't even have a car available and I booked three days prior. I didn't even get a call saying that one wasn't going to be available. And the kicker they still charged me for nothing and so I have had to deal we with that as well.
