    The only reason I'm rating Hertz 1 is that there is no 0 or negative numbers. We had a reservation…read morefor a long term rental to be picked up on June 1 and returned on September 30. A few days before we were to pick the car up, my husband happened to be by the pick up location and noticed that the building was shut down and the Hertz sign was no longer in place. He called Hertz and asked where we should pick up the car on Saturday, June 1. He was given an alternate pick-up address which turned out to be a truck pick up location only AND when we arrived there was a note stuck on the door which read 'Closed on Saturdays until further notice'. We then spent the next hour on hold with Hertz trying to figure out what to do. Once they answered, the only options were to pick a car up at the airport at double the cost OR void the contract which started Saturday, June 1 and start a new contract starting Monday, June 3. We choose option 2 and went to pick up the car Monday, June 3 at which time we are told having 2 drivers on the car costs $13/day extra. However, the agent said if we signed up as a Gold Member the $13 fee gets waved. We started to sign up, she said there was no need. Just finish the contract, sign up as a Gold Member and call an 800# to apply the difference. You can probably guess what happened based on the stellar service received thus far. We called the office and were told that it would only apply to future rentals. We asked to speak to a manager. There were none available but we could leave our number and hear from someone in 72 hours. Wow. All I can say is do not rent a car from Hertz. It is frustration from start to finish!!

    Horrible exp got stranded in Peoria the car piece didn't charge and they took out extra money and…read moresaid it wld take 8 to 12 weeks to be put back now that location is closed down

    I needed a rental for a 3-4 day period while my own vehicle was being repaired due to slight body…read moredamage. First off, the gentleman who runs this location is super friendly and is all about putting the customer first aka great customer service. When I requested my rental via their website, I asked for a compact car, and when I arrived to pick up my rental he allowed me to select the color I preferred. They have great hours and all in all, the rental process from start of finish couldn't have gone more smooth. I would also like to add, although there is an Enterprise Rental in Arnold as well, I did try them first, being I would need a ride to and from the repair shop. I found them to be at least $12-15.00 more per day and they were not friendly, nor would they work with me when it came to transportation. I was told by Enterprise that if I wanted a 8am pickup, expect to wait till at least 10. In summary............consider Budget / Avis in Arnold before you even consider Enterprise. I will certainly be back for any future rentals!

    Recenttly, on June 7th, I had a minor accident and needed a rental. Regetfully, I chose budget…read more When I arrived to pick up the rental, everything seemed to go smooth. The gentleman helping us was nice. He was one of the managers he got me into a Hyundai Sonata. Seemed perfect for my use. During the paperwork he told me that he "hooked me up" with the managers package. After my questioning, he explained if anything went wrong with the vehicle I was not liable. He said it would take the place of the regular insurance usually purchased. Although I appreciated it, I chose the other insurance also. Kind of like a stacker in case something unheard of may happen. Everything seemed fine. He told me he could take it in to vacuum it real quick if I would like. As I looked inside there were a few stray grass clippings but I didn't need it spotless. Just get me to and from work the next few days. So I drove away in my Hyundai a happy man. 2 days later I heard word in my car. I called the customer service number as it was after hours. I explained I could drop it off in an hr or 2. But asked since it was after hrs if I would already be charged for another day. "Depends". Was the answer I got. Do I asked how so? She said well if It was due back by 6 the you will be. But if not you won't. II told her if I'm getting charged for another day I'll just keep it another day. "Well you're going to pay extra" she stated. I'm aware, but since I'm already locked in to the extra day being as it's 6:15 now, I may as well just keep it. "Well of it was due at 6 you should just drop it off now" she added. I said well thank you but I'll go ahead and get my moneys worth and keep it "that's fine but they may charge you more if it was due in and ur late". I said so because I'm late they are going to jack up the price? "Ya they can". I said well if they are I'll bring it back open what price does it show? "Well idk I can't see it on my computer you won't now till u get the bill". Well then, I. Was getting kind of irritated now, I I'll still have to pay it so again I'll keep the car "fine' she says and I hung up. The next evening I headed out with my mother behind me to exchange cars. I told mine to the carwash and vacuumed it. Even the trunk. And then drove to Arnold. I stopped at the closest gas station to the rental place and told them inside needed to fill up but didn't know how much it would take. He said just pump it till it clicked. So I did. I went back in and paid at register, thanked him and left. I thanked my mom for the assistance and following me. She had actually used her credit card because all I had in me was a debit card they won't accept debit. I walked inside to another gentleman who said you dropping off,! I said yessir. Do I l I'm eft. I was fine until 5 days later. My mom called and told me on her credit card for those 3 days she was charged $765.00. . After contacting them for 3 days I reached someone who asked for a lot of info llleading me to eventually call with my mother now on day 4. I had to call with my mother on the line. I asked the gentleman when they closed. He told me 9pm they closed at 7. By day 5 I knew I was getting strung around. finally reached them The lady then said she would email a decision in a few days. S days later mom calls again. They charged for me being the driver her the cardholder. . My mom then explained again about the mgr the hookup etc. The lady told us she would look into it again and see what could be done.. 3 more days passed. We got another email. This time a different manager. L. She then started it was actually because I didn't gas it up before dropping it off. My mom told them which gas station I went to , what time, even a description of the person working as I remembered. I added on there if they needed proof I could be seen on the stores camera I'm sure on that day and time getting gas and dropping it off. Yet once again the new manager stated she would ","talk to the gas statíon and get back to us. We are now on about day 10 of verbal disagreement.. A 3rd email from yet another different manager. ----see a pattern forming here??......the last email now stated after investigation it was a fee for not vacuuming when I returned the vehicle.At this point we were done. My mother and I demanded pics of the vehicle when they accepted it to show us what proof they had of a $450, vacuum job that needed to be done It has been 4 days and we have not heard back from themb Just simply a crooked company running shady corrupt business in our turn of Arnold Mo Iif you Google the same situation, it shows up as a scam with numerous others telling a very similar story.! I will not let this go!
