First off, the main thing you need to know that this is *not* a legitimate, company owned…read moreAvis/Budget location. This appears to be a privately operated "agency" location run by a shady character ("Jay???") in a well-worn, seedy looking strip mall off the main highway. I had a week-long business rental reserved with this Budget location scheduled for pickup at 8AM. Upon arrival at 8AM, the lights were off and the doors locked. Once he did finally decide to open the doors, the agent, who also calls himself "the owner," did not like my reserved rate and refused to honor it. I work for a large transportation company that does a huge amount of business with Avis/Budget. He adjusted my reservation to nearly SEVEN TIMES the booked rate and then wanted to run my credit card without even discussing it, other than to say it costs him more to have the car on his lot, whatever that means. I refused and called customer relations. As this is a private, non-Avis/Budget Group location, there was nothing that customer relations could do other than apologize. There appeared to be nearly no rental cars parked in the lot that I was able to identify. From reading other reviews (and you should too), it seems that this is pretty standard practice for this location...denial of rentals, adjustment of rates, not having cars available, etc. The office is run down and dirty. All the 4-5 star reviews appear to be years old. Most recent reviews are 1-star and it is obvious why. If you need a rental car in the northwest suburbs, you would be well advised to choose a different location, or perhaps a different company all together. Avis/Budget lost a customer this morning and I am going to have a lengthy conversation with our corporate travel department about removing Avis/Budget as a rental car vendor for our entire company of 130,000+ employees.

Now that I'm seeing other reviews, looks like this location has a trend of not having people's…read morerentals. I got an email this morning, two hours before I needed to pick up a minivan that they didn't have any and didn't anticipate getting any back. Suggested calling the one at the airport!!! Instead I went to the Crystal Lake location and the men there were great to deal with! They were very apologetic that this happened, and were able to get us a minivan right away. (PS Algonquin told me none of the surrounding stores had any!) Shortly after we got our minivan in Crystal Lake, we went to get food from a place in the same center as Enterprise and wouldn't ya know there were two minivans sitting there!!! I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO NOT USE THIS LOCATION!

Very friendly staff, the car (2024 Nissan Rogue) was new, clean, and didn't have a weird odor. Most smell like smoke or heavily perfumed but we didn't have that issue. We didn't fill the car up all the way and they didn't even charge us for it, and added a discount too. Great experience! Will be using them over the one in O'Hare any day!

They are incredibly expensive and annoying. They constantly emailed wanting ANOTHER 300.00 dollar deposit each week, while telling us that the previous deposit would be put back into our bank- and it never was. The are EPIC for the need another 300 dollar deposit each week so that they can hold your money, while still charging you your daily rate. Also, their car they rented us smelled like the previous renter hauled cow manure in it!! For 80 bucks a day PLUS a WEEKLY DEPOSIT? Run, run, run from this company! I have rented from Sixt before and got a BMW X3 for what these clowns charge for a standard little Kia.

My wife called in to verify the pickup location, they explained that the vehicle has been moved, the new location is 25 minutes from my house instead of 5. No big deal, it happens. I arrive the next morning to an empty office. No agent, just a note on the door stating the person would be back. After waiting patiently for about 20 minutes i called the number on the door. My call was answered by the St. Charles office, the gentleman who answered simply stated that the agent should be back any minute. I waited another 10 minutes and called back,this time the only thing i was told was that he does not know where the agent is and he should be there. By this point i am almost an hour late departing from my planned trip. It was only after calling another Hertz office that i was informed that the vehicle is at the Penske Rental it was initially supposed to be at, the one 5 minutes from my house. So i make the drive to Penske and meet the most passive aggressive unfriendly person i have ever encountered. My hint should have been the neatly printed warning not to write on the front counter that read something to the effect of "if you or your children want to write on the counter like Kindergartners we will be happy to charge you a $100 clean up fee." The gentleman that worked there was just awful, he must have been born without people skills or something. He never explained any of the charges (i will get to that in a bit), and said everything in a sort of sarcastic tone as if our presence was bothering him. We picked up the van, which was an almost new Kia, in great shape, and very clean. When we dropped the van back off 3 days later we once again met Mr Personality. We had to wait again about 15 minutes because he was just too busy doing something else to take 30 seconds to walk over and get the key. This in itself was an awful experience, the train wreck of picking up the vehicle delayed my trip by over 2 hours. But it wasn't over yet. My wife went to an ATM to withdraw cash and noticed something not right. She checked the transaction log and noticed we had an additional 300 something dollar hold on our account. We had been charged for the total amount of the rental up front, and now we have this mystery charge. We called Hertz and they explained that Mr Personality at Penske charged us incorrectly, but also the hold was pretty standard practice and should drop off in a few days. NONE of this was explained to us up front. I rent vehicles at least once a year, but often 2 or three times a year. Not only will i be sure to never rent from Hertz again,i am going to steer others away from potentially having the same frustrating experience i have had.
