Cheap Car Hire in East Colfax, Denver from R96

Kayak made the reservation at a different location than I requested - not at the airport location. Forced me to use Uber. Hertz had my reservation, but didn’t have a car ready when I arrived. Eventually came up with a car smaller than I expected. I blame Kayak for most of the problem.

Car actually rented from a location which was closed for 48 hours after my plane was scheduled to land even though they had the flight info. Hertz would not transfer the reservation to an open location

Hertz reservation was messed up, and the local staff could not update it. International help support was barely competent. “Upgrade” to the type of car I had reserved was incredibly expensive. Finally, the car had broken windshield wipers, a 60% full gas tank, a tire pressure warning and summer tires despite being rented in Denver. In all of this, their local and international staff was spectacularly unhelpful. Given the above, I expect Hertz will try to charge me an extra several hundred dollars for some imagined issue with the car - they have not yet sent a receipt.
