A nice lady helped me with my pre-planned reservation- giving me the choice of several car models based on my needs. I went with an economical sedan with good MPG, plenty of legroom and trunk space. I was handed the keys and asked to walk down to their on-site lot to retrieve the car. As a National Club member it appeared that this location did have the service booth to grab your car and bypass the counter but Covid-19 has changed that for now. You must go into the terminal to get your car. I was a little bit underwhelmed with the car- it had over 30,000 miles and was pretty dirty inside and out. Again, I'd imagine the virus is keeping more staff from being on site and keeping up with regular cleanings, etc. There were nicks, dents and scratches along the car's body so I made sure to snap a few pics and keep them documented. Later, after returning the car I realized very little attention was given for damage checks (guess they're looking for major body damage). On all occasions while working with a National representative on-site they were polite and helpful. The both wore masks. I feel the prices are fair with National- and it helps that I have a corporate account to attach to as well. They offer roadside assistance for free and there are upgrades such as added insurance, GPS, satellite radio, car seat, etc. Each one comes with an additional daily cost of course but at least those options are available. The return process was simple enough- again the pandemic changed things up a bit. Drive into the return lot, park the car, walk to the lot's service office and hand in your keys. They charge the card on file and hand you a receipt. Super easy.

REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!…read more Flew 2000 miles to Mesa Arizona. Went to pick up my rental car reservation. Agent greeted me and said "oh I see you have a profile with us already so this will be fast. Let me just verify this license first with my manager." What? What do you need to verify? You have cut your license so I'm not sure it's valid What are you talking about? I trimmed a millimeter off the edge of the lamination so that it would fit in my wallet. I didn't cut my license. The entire license is still there. And it's still valid. Oh, I'm sure this won't be a problem. We just like full transparency in advance with our customers. Umm, Full transparency was 2000 miles ago. Not When I'm standing at the counter to pick up my car and it's 104° outside and you're telling me you're not going to give me a car and I'm going to have to hitchhike. That is not transparency. Oh, I'm sure it won't be a problem, sir Returns from the back office. It's a problem. Manager said no. So you're telling me I cannot pick up my rental car. You have my profile. I was just here six months ago. Why was This not a problem then? Well, that agent was probably just trying to be nice to you, sir Well, I'm asking you to be nice to me one more time please. I'm far from home, don't know anybody here and need a car. Sorry, there's nothing I can do. Corporate rules. So I left and went to the Hertz counter, they had no cars available. Great. Thank God for Avis, the counter two doors down. They had a car and had no problem with my drivers license. Had Avis not had any cars available, I would've been stranded. And Alamo could not have cared less. I would say, I will never rent another car from Alamo ever again. But apparently, that's not an option.. They don't accept valid drivers licenses with trimmed edges along the edge of the lamination. Lest you think I'm leaving something out, I have since showed my license to every person I've met on this trip and told this story to (which is anybody who would listen). And they all laughed. Nobody could find anything a reasonable person would consider wrong with that license. You can bet I will never forget the Alamo. And I strongly suggest you do likewise. PS: Alamo customer service...please don't bother responding to this review. There is nothing you can say to reassure me into taking another risk like that on Alamo. It was just way too close of a call for me to ever roll those dice on you again.

First the guy switching vehicles was not nice and seemed annoyed by us not wanting to drive a vehicle for a week with a service light on. Second we load everything to the other vehicle, which was a serious downgrade from what we rented. Third my husband accidentally left his wallet in the center console. As soon as he realized it we drove back to the airport and lo and behold it was nowhere to be found! The manager on duty said they would look at cameras and did not hear anything back. After a week we called the customer service line. First person I tried to talk to hung up on me, second person told us we would get a call back within 24-48 hrs. We finally got a call back after 2 weeks and all we got is a "I'm sorry". I would highly recommend going through a different car rental company than this one. They do not hold their employees accountable or do anything to help.

Update: After I contacted Hertz's customer service team…read moredirectly, they got back to me fairly quickly. They reviewed the situation and agreed to honor the terms of my original reservation, even though that agreement was never fulfilled because of communication issues between locations. While I did have to start a new rental agreement at a higher cost at the time, I appreciate that someone on their team stepped up and made things right on the back end. The follow-up was professional, and it's clear that once it reached the right people, they took the matter seriously. The overall experience was frustrating--but I do believe in giving credit where it's due. I've updated my review to reflect the resolution and hope the Mesa location takes this as a chance to improve how they handle customer communication moving forward. Original: I hate leaving reviews like this. I'd rather just quietly not return--but I hope sharing my experience helps someone else avoid the mess I went through. I had a prepaid reservation at this Mesa Hertz location for a weeklong rental starting May 30, 2025. Everything was booked in advance, confirmed, and priced fairly. But my flight got delayed and rerouted to Phoenix, so I called the Mesa branch around 11 PM to ask if I could still pick up the car a few minutes after their 11:30 PM closing time. The person on the phone said no, after-hours pickup isn't available. Okay--disappointing, but I understood. Then that same person called me back a few minutes later and told me I could pick up the rental at Phoenix Sky Harbor Hertz instead, and that they would just cancel the Mesa reservation. That seemed helpful, so I followed their instructions and headed to the Phoenix Hertz location. Except... they had no idea what I was talking about. There was no reservation transfer, and they couldn't cancel or override anything because the record still showed as active in Mesa. I was left stranded close to midnight--with my 75-year-old mother--and no rental car. Thankfully, the Phoenix agent Gabriel was kind, clear, and tried to help even though he couldn't override the system. That kind of service should be the standard. The next day, I went to Mesa to try and pick up my original rental. Instead, I was met by Matt, the assistant manager, who told me the reservation had already been canceled overnight. When I tried to explain that I had called the night before and even left a voicemail, he didn't bother to look into it--didn't check logs, notes, or try to verify who had spoken to me. He just repeated "There's nothing I can do. Call customer service." No effort. No empathy. Just passing the problem along. I ended up having to pay out of pocket for an emergency rental, then extend it through the week, which cost me nearly double what I had originally prepaid. Not because of anything I did wrong--but because someone at Mesa gave me bad info and no one else at Hertz took ownership. I usually stick with a consistent set of companies--my hotel, rental, and credit card brands are all chosen for a reason. But this experience has made me rethink keeping Hertz in that mix, unless they make this right. I've filed a formal complaint and am sharing this on other platforms. I'll gladly update this review if Hertz follows up and resolves it properly.

Their solution was for myself to do a vehicle swap at sky harbor taking a van they had. They did not want to take any blame and unacceptable resolution that became my problem and not theirs as they did not seem concerned.

The Sky Harbor supervisor and team ended up being helpful but would avoid Mesa Gateway Hertz.

So, I physically drove up to the location today (around 11:30) and I personally observed the ringing phones. There was a guy sitting behind the desk and two other employees standing around and not one of them attempted to pick up the phone. So, don't call to get information or help from this location if you need urgent help. Also, I had to use the restroom before leaving. I can't speak for the women's restroom, but the men's clearly hadn't been cleaned or inspected today. Businesses need to understand that dad's may come in with a toddler who needs to use the restroom and it would be nice to not have to clean the toilet beforehand. It's also just common decency for your patrons. I know none of this has to do with the actual car renting process, but customer service and general cleanliness are usually things people search for.

This was an inappropriate placement for someone on a business trip with very little time to spare to deal with charging the vehicle. I was unsuccessful with charging the car, despite locating a Tesla compatible charging station and downloading the app while standing outside in 100 degree heat. Therefore, I went up to the customer service desk when I returned the car (the next day... two days early on a three day rental) Thrifty charged me more than 50 cents per mile (41 miles for $22.45). They chose not to accommodate my request to waive the charging fee despite being able to validate that I did attempt to charge the car. The wait time at counter was unreasonably long at both pick up and check in. This seemed to be due to Thrifty staffing the desk with only one representative for both check in and check out. His manager would not talk with me when the desk rep called him. Instead he made the choice to put his corporate overlords ahead of a reasonable request from a customer. This was my absolute worst car rental experience.

One Star (Would Give Zero if I Could)…read more I've never experienced such blatant dishonesty and manipulation from a company--until I rented from Enterprise Rent-A-Car. My partner and I are being wrongfully accused of causing "discoloration" to the rear bumper and front passenger fender of a vehicle we rented. According to Enterprise, this supposed "damage" was due to a repaint job, which is absolutely false. We did not alter the car in any way. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of deleting the photos I took before driving off the lot--photos that clearly would have shown the car's condition. Enterprise has now taken full advantage of that, and despite having no actual proof that we caused any damage, they've moved forward with a claim. Their entire case hinges on the fact that we didn't opt for their insurance coverage--an obvious play to squeeze more money from customers who decline their overpriced add-ons. I've been forced to hire legal representation and will be pursuing litigation. Whether it's in small claims court or the Arizona Supreme Court, Enterprise--specifically manager Cynthia--will have to explain their actions in front of a judge. This is not just about money. This is about standing up to a company that is clearly trying to scam honest people who trusted them. I'm a young professional just trying to stay afloat, and Enterprise has kicked me while I'm down. I've never felt more violated by a business. I'll spend every last penny fighting this before I let Enterprise take one more hard-earned dollar from me. To anyone reading this: document everything. Take photos. Get signatures. And if something feels off--walk away. Enterprise, good luck .
