Booked my flight online through Hotwire, total cost out the door 186.00 for 4 days. When I arrived to pick up the car I was told I would need $200 for a deposit and I was going to be charged an additional $141 for the rental. The deposit I was aware of but the $141 I wasn't. The gentleman behind the counter stated "You went through Hotwire and that was their price and this is the difference and is not included in the price. My mother had the same experience with the same 2 companies. I was travelling to take my brothers ashes back east and didn't really have the extra money for the unknown cost. What if I wasn't able to come up with that money. The gentleman behind the counter was more worried about his cigarette break (that he had been trying to take for 40 minutes). Needless to say My family will NEVER go through Hertz or Hotwire for anything again.
