    When I returned to the BWI for my departure this March of 2019 I forgot my prescription glasses in…read moremy rental car. With the clock ticking two employees were extremely helpful and I was able to get my glasses and make my flight. The two employees were Airport Manager Aponique Fangou and Nardie Warren 53875 #4147. Thanks Guy's WJR

    Update: I spoke with…read moretwo additional customer service representatives, and the experience only became more frustrating. One representative at (800) 214-6094 claimed our receipt showed only 5 gallons, implying the tank wasn't full I completely ignoring the fact that adding 5 gallons can just as easily mean the tank was already nearly full and simply topped off. The second representative takes the prize, this dude, Ray Collins (Ref #110) at (800) 259-6095, who admitted there was an error. He said I need to pay $61 just to process the claim. Paying a fee to correct the company's own mistake is unacceptable and makes no sense. At that point, it was clear customer service was not interested in resolving the issue. Thankfully, Jamil from the local station later called, refunded the refueling fee, and apologized. That effort was genuinely appreciated and was the only professional part of this experience. Overall, the process was frustrating and unprofessional. This situation raises serious concerns about the company's practices and accountability. Formal complaints to the FTC, BBB, and state consumer services are being filed, because this should not be considered standard business practice.

    My wife and I rented a '15 Nissan Sentra for 8 days at approximately $250 from this location. I was…read morevery happy with the rate and the quality of the car, though it was dirty with hair from a previous renter trapped in the fabric of the passenger sun visor. When my wife and I arrived at the location, the doors were locked and there was no representative present. After only 5 minutes a representative arrived to the location and quickly began to help us, he also apologized for the inconvenience. The representative asked my wife to sign the acknowledgement of the terms and conditions before presenting the paperwork to us which I consider to be unacceptable. The representative gave us wrong information regarding PlatePass and toll roads. We asked him, "how does it work with PlatePass and toll roads?" The representative informed me that regardless of whatever toll road we come to, to not pay cash for it, but to drive through the prepaid toll lane because PlatePass will bill us later. The representative told myself and my wife that if we pay cash at any toll roads, we will automatically be billed by PlatePass for the toll as well and will effectively be paying for the toll twice. The rep failed to communicate that in certain states a windshield toll transponder was needed for cashless toll lanes, well the vehicle was not equipped with a windshield toll transponder and because of the wrong information provided by the representative we violated a toll. I would not blame Hertz or the representative if he simply showed me the important information regarding tolls section in the terms and conditions, I would have been happy to have read it myself and will in the future. I do blame Hertz and that representative for giving me wrong information. When my wife asked for the paperwork before signing, the rep seemed annoyed. When my wife asked to see the vehicle before authorizing her car, the rep looked over at another rep on site and they shared inappropriate "o jeez..." facial expressions, very uncool, you are not that slick and I am not that stupid. I am not sure why they would think we would automatically trust them or this location considering its awful reviews online. The rep told me he was new. Upon returning the vehicle another representative confirmed the vehicle did not have a windshield toll transponder. He informed me we would simply receive a bill in a month or so for any violated tolls. We have not to date been charged erroneously for any pet or smoking fees. I did not want to add another bad review of this place online but come on. Step it up folks.

    Probably the worst overall car rental experience in my life. First we pre paid a reservation for a…read morecar paid the whole thing up front, they gave our car away and called us an hour before our reservation to let us know, then they helped me make a new reservation for a different location for a car they did not have. The employees couldn't care less one on her phone while the other who was "helping" us took a phone call mid conversation. We ended up going to an enterprise location and had a wonderful experience, long story short just go with enterprise, I would pay double to not have to deal with the terrible customer service experience Hertz has to offer. I also used to do their pest control and they had a German cockroach infestation in the break room so don't be surprised if you see any in their cars.
