    Avoid this location! We had a reservation for a mid size SUV, but when we arrived they didn't have…read morea car for us. We have been waiting around for over a half an hour, but no resolution. Their only suggestion was to go to the Indiana location and hopefully they will have a car available. My mom agreed to that, but then they stated she should call customer service first. Absolutely ridiculous! There are cars on site, but they are for other reservations or Uber, so they are not options for us apparently. Instead we wait around and our plans get further behind schedule due to poor supply and overall management of the reservations.

    Worst godawful rental location I have ever been to in my life. There is no customer service…read morewhatsoever, that's nonexistent. This location is both Avis & Budget by the way. The guy there was absolutely awful, so old and rude to everyone, and wore a backwards LA cap.Tried marking up their online quote by $50.00 so I just booked online. He demanded I give him my insurance policy number when I declined his insurance, which no rental agency ever does. Then, continues to try and push selling his crap car rental insurance, despite his horrendous attitude and angry miserable face. Then, doesn't list all the scratches, dents, damages I see on the vehicle. He said just if it's major. I told him I'm going to take a video and pictures of this vehicle so you don't charge me for this. He said yea that's fine. Car smelled like smoke when I got in, and it was filthy inside and out. I don't think it was cleaned after the last person rented it. I only went here because enterprise was out of cars, and I couldn't make it to the airport car rentals which are always a better experience. I will exclusively go to airport rentals from now on.

    I recently returned a rental from HERZT and feel compelled to share this warning…read more I rented an EV and used Tesla Superchargers during the rental. Every single charging session was clearly documented with time, location, cost, and a photo as proof. Most of the time, I charged the vehicle at home. The total charging cost was about $151, but HERZT charged me more than double that amount without any explanation. Their bill did not match my records at all. I called their customer service several times to dispute the charges, but no solution was offered. The attitude I received was essentially: "If you want to rent from us, you have to accept our terms." No explanation, no itemized breakdown, no accountability. I ended up returning the car today. Seven years ago, I had already noticed that HERZT tends to overcharge and sneak in fees. I gave them another chance, and unfortunately, nothing has changed. This time, I made sure to clean the vehicle carefully and took photo evidence before returning it. At this point, I would not be surprised if they still try to add a cleaning fee out of nowhere. My advice is simple. Go to Enterprise instead. I have rented from Enterprise for over 15 years and never had a single unpleasant experience. Their pricing is transparent, and their service is reliable. I underestimated just how unreliable HERZT still is. I will never rent from them again. If Enterprise is not available, I would rather ride a bicycle than deal with HERZT again. Seriously.

    Ok, seriously don't know why the negative reviews. We have never had any issues with this location…read more Have been using them for a few years now when we come into Riverside. They are a very small location so I suggest going between opening hours to noon for your car to get "dibs" on something better than what you reserved or even having a car in your category requested. We reserved a compact car, at 8am pickup all they had was a Malibu or a Golf wagon, took the Malibu, my price remained the same, no increase or extra fees. If you need more of a variety, there is an Enterprise over on University that usually has a good amount of cars throughout the day. We choose Avis for the convenience of the location for us, never had any issues with the cars, you might get a car that just came back and they have not had a chance to get it cleaned up. But they let you know that it's still a little dirty and that's on you if you want to wait for its cleaning or just take off with the car, we take off, we have things to do, a little sand and or dust isn't going to bother us. Staff has always been good to us, usually a different person every time we come to town. We will continue to rent with this Avis. Looks like I'm the only positive review on here. I've been renting with this Avis for 5 years now. Lately my husband goes to pick the cars up. But we have never had any issues here. We book couple days in advance. This is a busy location so they sell out of cars quick on weekends. Like this weekend March10. Glad we booked a few days ago. Only had three cars here, an ugly a$& Versa, an Impala and an old Charger. We took the Impala. Seems like it's usually different people every time we come here. Young girl was nice today, she helped us get a better rate on the Impala which was awesome, I really appreciate great customer service. That's why my review will stay 5 stars for this location, it's based off the service we receive here and how we are treated as customers.

    If I could rate a 0, I would. My daughter rented through Expedia. When we got here, Jubee at the…read morefront desk said that she doesn't allow 2 drivers unless they're married. What? So my daughter said, "Fine, my fiancé can be the driver but use my credit card." Jubee said that no other person's credit card can be used. What? Then she stood there talking to other customers about their personal life, not even dealing with customers in line. I've been renting cars and the rudeness of Jubee and lack of customer service is why I rated this rental low! Beware and DO NOT rent from here. You'll be sorry.

Even one time when we were running a day late they assured us it was no problem. Stephen (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was so professional and kind.

The car was a Toyota Corolla and was clean. There was a slight odor of marijuana in the car during pickup but I just fixed that with some air freshener. I got a great deal on the car so I was not going to complain. The reason for the 2 stars- upon returning the car I received my deposit a few days later. No problem. However I noticed that I had an additional charge on my account for $47. When I called I was told this charge was made by mistake and I have followed up week after week and it still has not been refunded to me. I'm not sure how you can even make a mistake and charge a random amount to a customer after our business with them was completed. But it seems shady. All my calls to them have been brushed off and there is no sense of urgency to have this mistake corrected. Good prices, friendly people at first but because of this I will not be going back.

I went…read moreto the local Enterprise Rent-A-Car here in Riverside, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. I was first greeted by Sam, the driver who picked me up. At 80 years old, Sam is as incredible as you can imagine--kind, energetic, and an absolute joy to meet. When I arrived at the branch, I met Destiny at the front desk. Despite being busy with four customers ahead of me, she greeted everyone with a big smile and a warm, pleasant attitude that instantly put me at ease. Andrea then helped me finalize my rental. She was an angel--equally professional, patient, and friendly throughout the process. Every person I interacted with at this location was both professional and genuinely welcoming. I highly recommend this Enterprise branch in Riverside. They turned what could have been a stressful afternoon into a much smoother, more pleasant experience. Rick T. Riverside resident
