    I had an okay experience renting a car from this Hertz. They don't have the volume of cars that…read moreyou'd get at an airport location, but they also don't have the volume of traffic/wait that you encounter while going to the airport. Hertz worked seamlessly with my insurance company while my personal vehicle was being repaired. There were a few hiccups with getting the car itself: the Hertz corporate phone representative promised me a different time than when a car was actually available at the shop, and directly contacting the shop on the phone was difficult (the main line goes to prerecorded messages). However, the guy at the shop managed to secure an earlier car for me at the last minute, which I appreciated. They seem to use some kind of cleaner with a very strong scent here. As other reviews have said, my car came with that scent--like an intense grandma air freshener covering cigarette smoke. It wouldn't go away after two weeks. But otherwise, the vehicle was clean inside and worked fine. It was also very easy to pick up and drop off in the garage in this shopping area.

    I made a reservation in advance and arrived to be told that they didn't have any cars available. It…read morewas stupid of me to try using Hertz, and I won't make that mistake again. Avoid! Choose any option other than doing business with Hertz and this location.

    This is my "go-to" place for car rentals! The staff and management are really accomodating and…read morefriendly, and i haven't been able to find better rates than i consistently find here. Maybe the previous negative reviews visited on a bad day, or.... I've been renting from this place several times a year for 3 or 4 years now. I have an older car, and use this Avis location whenever i need a car for an out-of-town trip or when i need something larger than my own. I find their rates better than Enteprise and Zip, and the customer service FAR more reliable than Enterprise (who charged me for damage that occurred AFTER i returned the car). The fact that this AVIS is not at the airport eliminates the airport add-on fees, and the experienced staff do work with you to identify better rates, if available. They've been generous with upgrades, when they have them available...i loved the seat warmer on my drive to Indiana last Christmas. It's a franchise operation that is very busy. There have been times i've had to wait while they finish up with one of their other customers...but i've always gotten the attention i needed when it was my turn. Sometimes, some of the staff are friendlier and more knowledgable than others. However, with each i've found if i extend some pleasantries, they do turn into real people who try to be helpful. When i've wanted some special accomodation, i've learned to ask for the staff who know how to work it. Twice i found myself in circumstances i had to keep the car longer than i'd expected; which based on my contract could have cost me an arm and a leg. The manager talked with me and helped me work out a strategy that let me keep the car longer at a lower daily rate. I know not all of the staff would have known how to work that out for a customer...but i also knew enough to ask for the manager when i needed to negotiate. I'm sorry some others had a bad experience. I hypothesize that the problems with availability and related service issues weren't caused by the agency, but rather by an unexpectedly high demand for cars at the airport, who couldn't honor the franchise owner's requests for cars. As a neighborhood business, and a trustworthy vendor, i give this business a top rating.

    Avoid this location if possible…read more I've rented from this Avis (near Reagan National Airport) multiple times and had the same problems each time, so this isn't a one-off bad day. Fake damage claims: Twice now, they've tried to charge me for "damage" that either didn't exist or was pre-existing and undocumented at pickup. Be sure to photograph/video every inch of the car before you drive off, timestamped, because they will use it against you otherwise. No standard-size cars: Every time I book a standard or economy car, I end up handed an oversized SUV or truck with no smaller option available. These are harder to park and maneuver, and it feels like a way to upsell or just clear inventory rather than honor what I reserved. Gas charges regardless: I've returned the car with a full tank and still been charged a refueling fee. There's no acknowledgment of an actual full tank at drop-off the charge just gets applied. Long wait times: Pickup and return both routinely involve long lines, understaffing, and slow processing, even with a reservation already made.
