    Worst service ever!! The manager, Angie, was worthless. They were not prepared for Labor Day weekend. Took 2 hours to get a car

    Not satisfactory experience. ( pretty sure that this review will go into a void) Cars were…read moreoverbooked. The online reservations did not match the actual vehicle inventory. I was in line for over an hour to be seen. I rented an intermediate SUV, but they only had large pickup trucks. I took the offer. The check- in staff was professional and friendly given the circumstances. They provided a fuel credit due to the inconvenience. The pickup was too big for my needs. Difficult to maneuver. Many of the features that should be available on a large vehicle were not equipped or programmed, especially the parking technology. My car lacked wrap- around cameras to assist parking, proximity warnings when close to objects, or back up warnings. The back- up camera was imprecise. I had no functional trunk. My drop-off experience was poor. It was Easy to drop off. One agent was friendly and helpful. The other public- facing agents were uncaring or rude. My agent barely spoke to me and didn't ask basic questions about returning the vehicle. Offered no assistance. I also had bad experience with staff in preferred member area. Five minutes after returning car, I realized that I had missing items. The friendly return agent directed me to the desk agent. The desk agent was openly dismissive and rude to me . Suggested that that my reason for checking the car was not important. She was dismissive and didn't want to offer help. This is not an exaggeration. This experience makes me less likely to rent a vehicle from this vendor at that location.

    It's memorial day weekend I reserved this vehicle more than 2 months ago. I arrived at the counter…read moreafter about 15 minutes trying to find the location and there is NO CARS AVAILABLE! After 20 minutes they have a Durango but I have to call customer service cancel my original reservation and rebook for the Durango. Per customer service over the phone NO CARS WERE AVAILABLE! And to top it off the young lady working the counter 05/22 at 4pm, was rude and not helpful. Please don't rent from here!

    I was looking at some of the previous negative reviews and they center around long lines and…read morewaiting or getting charged a higher price. We rented our car through Costco so when we got there we did not have to wait in the line downstairs, we went upstairs to the checkout and there was no line and it went very smooth. They did not have the Camry we were supposed to get, so instead they gave us a 4 door Jeep for the same price. It seemed like ok deal. Turns out the Jeep was a hybrid but the battery wasnt charged so it was like a normal car with small gas tank. We were not driving that much so it didnt matter. One thing specifically about Jeeps which I did not know, but should have expected, is the ride is pretty rough and bumpy. Now I know, I should not get one in the future. It was a nice looking car with plenty of space, just rough ride.

    "I rented a car from Hertz from January 29th through January 31st…read more When I picked up the vehicle, I inspected it carefully and everything appeared to be in good condition. When I returned the car on the 31st, the employee and I walked around the vehicle together, and no damage or issues were noted. However, about two weeks later, I received a call saying the taillight was broken and that I would be charged $325 This was very surprising to me, especially because I purchased insurance coverage through the Hertz website at the time of the rental. Since then, I have called customer service multiple times trying to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, the experience has been very frustrating. I was transferred several times between representatives, and I felt pressured to pay for something that I do not believe I'm responsible for. To be honest, I'm genuinely upset about this situation. I feel like I'm being asked to pay for damage that was never identified when the vehicle was returned.

    Even with a reservation made weeks in advance, I arrived to find out that there were no cars. So…read moreyou mean to tell me with all the information they collect, no one could text, call or email me to tell me that I'd be delayed in receiving a vehicle? The guy at the counter had no empathy, sense of urgency or fux to give. It's one of those moments where you just exercise some patience because you still need a car. After waiting an hour, I was asked if a Mustang would be ok. At this point, I really want to break up with them so I tell them guy yes. Get to the adjacent garage and began to take note of the existing damage on the car. Nothing alarming but nothing I wanted attributed to me. The car hadn't been cleaned out, off and the windshield was really cloudy. No big deal but the windshield washing fluid was empty. So back inside I go to talk to Mr. Unbothered. The representative who tracks incoming cars, took it and washed it, filled the washer fluid and tried to make me feel a little better about the situation. When I was waiting, I asked the agent how I'd be compensated for my inconvenience. He shrugged his shoulders and said the car I was going to be put in was an upgrade. I'm not a Mustang person so this rang hollow. I then insisted that he adjust the rental time to only reflect the time I had the car. He agreed and went back to doing next to nothing. I had no issues returning the vehicle. As a rule, I take a picture of the fuel and miles to be able to confirm that I did refuel it and no surprise charges occur. Keep in mind when you are arriving or returning to allow time to take the shuttle back to the terminal. Customer service is minimal here. No one answers the phone when you call and the in person experience leave something to be desired. I do plan to use other car rental agencies in the future as I was not happy with the experience at this location.

    they did not explain the charges and charged me for things I wasn't aware of and then when I…read morereturned car they were rude inside at the airport counter. will never use dollar, thrifty, or hertz again. the explanation I got was this is our verbiage you should have read it.
