This location is right by ALL THE CONSTRUCTION so be prepared for a nail in your tire and have to put a spare on and be charged for a new tire. These people are greedy and I will never do business with them again. One of the people I spoke with chuckled and thought the whole thing was funny. Very unprofessional. What a mistake going to Hertz!!!! They are making us pay for the tire and the spare to be put on, which is funny because when I talked to them yesterday, they were taking care of everything. That was the national number. This location gets 0 stars, not even one. read more

We booked a car four months ago for the solar eclipse. 30 minutes before we were supposed to pick up the car, they texted us to tell us that they gave our car to someone else and that we were screwed. They offered no assistance. They didn't automatically refund me and made me navigate a complex phone system to even get a refund. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for car rentals, since this place doesn't honor reservations and will waste your time if they don't have enough cars. I filed a complaint with the Texas AG. read more

Very quick to get papers done. Nice car. Easy drop off. I just put keys in the after hours slot. read more

Hertz Rent A Car - Clean, nice car. No problems - Car Rental Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

This rental was EASY &staff was very helpful. I called for a last minute rental for a SPECIFIC model car. (Long boring story...) They gave me a good deal (cheaper than airport) & better selection when I called. Pick up& drop off were quick & easy. read more

Went today to get a rental car. Sean (or Shawn?) at the front desk was super helpful! Got everything done very easily, very helpful and nice. Ended up getting a slightly larger car than we ordered since the one we booked was unavailable. Had a great experience and will likely come to this store again next time I'm in need of a short term rental! Another bonus is its right next door the VIA 313 Pizza!!!! read more

They called me , after I was already in town, to tell me that they would not have a car for me, despite having booked it months in advance. I was told that they had "overbooked by about a hundred cars." At least they were honest about how scummy their business tactics are. read more

Horrible policy, UI, and customer service. I made a reservation (successfully) with my credit card for my boyfriend's name and got confirmation email weeks in advance of our Austin trip. When we arrive at the counter, the reception says the reservation is under my name because my credit card is used and my boyfriend has to be added as an additional driver with additional fee. We received NO reminder or warning whatsoever when we booked the reservation and they say we cannot change credit card because it was paid in advance (since when did "pay in advance" become something wrong?) The reception at the counter refuse to modify the reservation for us and insisted on charging almost $100 MORE (on top of the $300-400 we already paid) for additional driver, as if it was our fault that Hertz didn't give us warning in the booking page and even sent us successful confirmation email (under my boyfriends name) after. Very terrible experience. Terrible customer service. AVOID them. read more

Used Hertz plenty of times. This is the first location to have no care for their customers. Luckily we called customer service and they were able to remedy the situation. People at the counter just kept shaking their heads. Sad read more

RE: 6705 Hwy 290 W, Ste 603, Austin, TX, 78735 This is a complaint about the pick-up location service. I took a ride-hailing service to this office and arrived at 5:10 for a 5:30 pick up. The employee asked if I was renting from a 3rd party. (I was.) He said I would need to see proof of liability insurance. I have never had to do this and the information is nowhere in the IMPORTANT INFORMATION, under the Hertz logo, on my reservation. That says, "The driver will be required to present a valid driver's license and a valid credit card in his/her name at the counter for the refundable security deposit." My car was in the shop but I was fortunate to find someone who was still there and would look in my car for the Proof of Insurance, photograph it and send it to me. At the time I received that, it was 5:55. (The Hertz office closes at 6pm.) The employee processed the rental but the system would not take any credit card by chip or strip and kept returning back to the Hertz logo screen. I asked if he would enter the number physically in the computer. He said he could not do that. (I doubt this because there is always another way.) At 6:00pm, the employee was done for the day and I was dismissed from the office/storefront without a promise of anything and the need to pay for another ride to get home. I did not receive any type of contact from the employee OR the Branch Mgr the next day or anytime since then. Because of traffic and time of day, I spent 2.5 hours and $$ to get NOTHING FROM HERTZ, except a very bad taste in my mouth. I have tried to get this information to Hertz corporation but their website, which says you can submit information about service, said it was an invalid request and gave a toll-free number to call. The options there, were all related to contracts (vehicles actually received), not reservations, so I selected "0" and it told me that was invalid. I've had enough for today and will get back on it in a few days. read more

I reserved a van at 10 a.m. on Monday to pick up Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. I had no problem reserving it and drove an hour the next morning to pick it up. The male employee at the desk was extremely rude and dismissive. They didn't have our rental van there, or anything to rent in it's place. He told me that "I didn't plan ahead and book the reservation 24 hours or more in advance" because of this, my reservation was not guaranteed. I was not warned on the website while reserving the van or sent any kind notice of this until 7:15, 45 minutes before my pick up time to which I didn't see because I was driving. Clearly things don't happen unexpectedly in Hurtz word. I asked him if he would change our reservation to pick up the van Wednesday morning. He told me he couldn't change anything in my account because I was on a "waiting list" until the van got there. I called customer service. In order to speak to someone in their service center, I had to pay 5% of my rental amount. I have never encountered such a terrible company that makes customer's pay to speak to them because their company is so incompetent. I suggest finding another rental company because this company is not worth the headache or your money. If they are willing to treat their customers like shit, they don't deserve your money! Update: I went to pick up the van the next day and they would not accept my debit card. This was not because there wasn't enough on it, but because my credit came back in the 300s. Surprise, the credit check you before you're able to rent anything. My credit score is no where near 300, which I proved with my credit karma app. Once again, this was not something that their website made known when I reserved the van. I will never use this company again. Not only do they make it near impossible to rent something, their system that runs the credit is inaccurate. No wonder all of the other car rental companies are sold out and Hurtz has available rentals, I should have taken that as a sign that they were a terrible company. read more

Same type of review as before: " have rented cars here many times. One thing to not is that if you have the time, rent a squeak toy to drive to the airport. It is cheaper than a taxi. Put in 1/2 gallon of gas and you will save some bucks. Just make sure to have the engine turned on when they read the gas in the car beforehand. It can be more accurate." However, now I mostly pick up friends at the airport and bring them here as there are not all those extra fees to pay. Note: Parking is getting tough in this little strip mall and be sure and check your car carefully as you would with any rental company. Also, note the hours which are a bit different. read more

I needed wheels for my recent trip to Austin, TX and I decided to get it from Hertz. Hertz had been good to me over the years and I have nothing but respect for them. I decided to rent off airport this time around for my car rental, since it was cheaper to do so versus from the airport location at Austin-Bergstrom international airport (AUS). I was happy that I found a good deal from Priceline and booked that one right away. The good thing about Priceline is that they do not charge your credit card at the time of purchase, but you pay when you pick up the car. And so, I arrived at this Hertz location, which seemed like it was in a small strip mall. Didn't see the Hertz logo until I realized it wasn't the ice cream shop. Haha. Arrived here around 3pm after getting off the plane and a friend helping me to get here. This Hertz location was small and it felt like those FedEx Kinkos places where you can get your business needs done on a weekend. It was a small office and the two Hertz associates who were there was friendly and professional. Even one of them told me to set the google gps to avoid tolls, just so I didn't have to pay. Unfortunately for me, I forgotten a few times, but remembered the majority thereafter. This Hertz experience in Austin Texas has been pretty smooth transaction. The staff at Hertz was good and I returned the car after business hours, so I parked the car, locked it, and returned the key fob in their "express return" key drop in front of the Hertz office. I have had the car for 7 days. I purchased car rental insurance and road side assistance, since you never know what can happen out there. I ended up driving 1,000 miles during the course of my stay in Texas: going through the cities of Austin, San Antonio, Victoria, Houston, Fort Worth, and Dallas. The car I received was a very small SUV, smaller than a RAV4, so it was pretty cute. The car itself drove smoothly and had pretty good gas economy - $25 for a fill up. This Hertz rental car facility is located in a strip mall at 6705 Highway 290 W in Austin, Texas. Definitely off airport and it's about 15 miles away from there. They have a small selection of cars though. Not sure if they keep more of their fleet in a nearby lot, or have majority of the cars in the strip mall parking lot, when the parking is supposedly for customers for other merchants in the mall. My rental was in the parking lot a row from the Hertz office, so I didn't have to walk far at all. For the most part though, I had fun driving the car, even though the drives were long at times, but I made it to my destinations with a few rest / nap stops along the way. Driving does make me sleepy, so it was nice to have McDonald's along the way for bathroom and food stops. Lol I didn't have any problems with my rental vehicle, so that was a good thing. The service at the counter was fine. Since I didn't have service at the return process, it was nice to just drop off the key and be on my way. Just like returning library books after hours. It was simple and easy. I would recommend renting from Hertz because they do such a good job. The Hertz brand is awesome. Do price compare online to check out the best prices. Sometimes it's Hertz, sometimes it isn't. Get the best deal for you! For me this time, it was Hertz here in Austin Texas. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the service and the vehicle itself. I had some reservations about driving a small SUV but it turned out pretty good. Support local! B read more

Scheduled for pick up at 8:30. They no showed no called. Called and was place on hold for 20 minutes. When they picked up they made excuses saying I was to call when I arrived. I said no, that is not what we said when I scheduled the pick up, they confirmed they would be on time. I called them when they were late at 8:30 and I have been on hold for 20 minutes waiting on you. I canceled my reservation and scheduled a new one with Enterprise. This was the worst experience with a rental car company I have had in Austin. No show No call Made excuses Not customer focused Bad management and bad culture. read more

Is is possible to give zero stars? If so, that's what this location would get. The women at the counter could not give a single damn about whether you get what you booked, and they keep their radio turned up to a level that makes me wonder if I'm at the club or in a business. I reserved a car with XM, which I didn't get, and they charged me for gas refill even though they said that they did not - second time that happened. I witnessed them letting a customer know that the SUV they'd reserved was not available, and they were indifferent to the customer's stress levels. Although this location is most convenient to my home, I will NEVER use them again. Hertz would do well to fire the lot of them and hire an entirely new staff. read more

Yelp, you need to be able to give zero stars because this hertz literally should be out of business. Roddrick Gaines (Manager) had THE worst attitude when I went in to get a rental. I booked a reservation ahead of time so that I could be in and out. When I walked in and told him the name under the reservation and I guess there was some sort of confusion? He said he couldn't find it. I repeated myself, spelling the name, offering the confirmation number and magically he found it after arguing for 15 minutes that I made this reservation. Already irritated, he had a confrontational attitude saying 'is there a problem?' As a person in the service industry and knowing customer service that is not how you talk to someone. There was also an issue with a credit card for the payment. He offered no solutions and sent me on my way. Do not come here unless you're into getting verbally assaulted. Took my business to enterprise, within the same hour and without a reservation, I got a nicer and cheaper rental that hertz could not offer. read more

Rented a car through a third party site. After paying a $40 Uber to get to my appointment I was told they had no inventory for me and no resolution was offered. I called Hertz customer service and their solution was to send me to the airport which is a $100 ride from my house. Needless to say, the lack of compassion, willingness to help, and all around poor experience will have me keeping any of my money away from Hertz. read more

Our service was very courteous, friendly, efficient and easy to work with. Our car was very clean and met our expectations. Price was very competitive. We plan to rent from Hertz again in the future. read more

Booked via Priceline for one night, but I was also able to confirm that they had a late night key drop by speaking to the location. They were very helpful on the phone and when I came in to pickup the car. Also, one of the few agencies I called where I could actually reach a person at the counter instead of the call center. read more

I have been using this location more and more. The guys who run the place are really nice. I just received a billing notice for my last rental that included a $95 fuel charge. I called Jacob at the Hertz in Oak Hill. He remembered me, the car, and that he did not charge me for fuel. He deduced it was a problem not in his end, that I should call billing, and if I needed any support, he would verify for me. I was on hold with billing for about 5 minutes and they straightened it out. So, now Jacob's store gets another star for the personalized assistance. read more

I prepaid for a vehicle and was told I couldn't p/u until noon. When I came by they were closing in 30 minutes. They decided I needed another card yet wouldn't stay open long enough for me to race home and get a new card. Since they aren't open the next day I was going to lose 2 days prepaid rental. This totally screwed me and my Christmas travel plans. They would not help me in anyway, didn't offer to help me find another car or give me an extra 15 minutes to get me card. If you're looking for good costumer service then I would suggest somewhere else because I got nothing but screwed from Hertz. read more

This place rocks! I was in and out in 20 minutes for both pick-up and drop-off. My big ol family and I decided to rent a mini-van for a weekend getaway and this place had the cheapest price and is right in our neighborhood. We reserved online and picked up the car on the same day. The staff was so friendly- they seemed excited for us about our getaway! We had a great trip and the car was perfect for what we wanted. Would definitely rent here again. Thanks! read more

I do not recommend. The girl who helped me July 27th working the front was very rude and unhelpful. They also gave me a dirty car. It was filthy and I went to get it cleaned once I left there. I tried asking for another car, but the response I got was "we're out." Not to mention they gave me an old car too to drive across the country. It was all beat up, dirty, on top of bad customer service. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

I wish I could give Hertz a zero. I tripped on the stone three times and it's my fault for trusting in an incompetent business. I prepaid my car twice and when I came to pick it up, the location had already sold out of vehicles. Im not sure if the staff there is just incapable of handling the inventory or if the organization as a whole lacks the proprietary to effectively manage a business. Either way the customer service is bull crap. Haven't gotten a refund for my services because I have to fill out a gazillion forms and never get a decent human being that knows how to resolve an issue. I couldn't expect more though. If they are incapable of managing rentals what makes them actually capable of resolving issues. Don't waste your time or money on Hertz, especially at this location. The organization useless and the staff is incapable of handling any responsibility. read more

Excellent customer service! After my accident, Heather had me set up in my rental in no time. I have never been in and out of a car rental business this quickly. Thank you for not making me feel like I need to check every single square inch of the car for scratches and defects. So easy! read more

Lousy customer service from the male clerk. He talked down to me when I asked him to repeat a question. He talked very fast and it appeared he hated his job. I will never book with Hertz and will book through Enterprise next time in Texas. read more

Ad says it's off airport but in fact, it's 15 miles away! A lift ride costs $26.96! Took forever to get a small car (we reserved a mid size one) with smelt of smoke! Car was full of stains. First time ride with Hertz and will be the last one! read more

I was in a car accident recently and was in need of a rental car for almost a month. John helped me quickly check a car out and insured that the car (KIA) I was getting was a decent ride. I was very satisfied with the Kia (surprisingly) ...it was definitely growing on me. :) when it was time to return: Caleb processed everything quickly and was attentive to our needs. Overall both Caleb and John provided such excellent service that Hertz will be our "go-to" rental spot! Thanks guys! read more

Just.... wow, and not in a good way. I coordinated a "reserved SUV" through State Farm and the location off SIH 35 and was told Hertz would pick me up at my body shop when I dropped off my truck for repair. When called, Hertz said they only picked until 4pm. So I hitched a ride, only to find they had no cars at all when I got there. I hitched another ride home. I called my SF agent and the next morning I was called by John at the IH35 location and told he found a "car" at the Oak Hill location and Lyft would pick me up at work at 12:30. I coordinated my work schedule (medical facility) was ready at 12:30. I waited at the front of my building, called, left voicemails with both locations and finally got a call at 12:50 from a woman at the Oak Hill location, informing me all they had was a cargo van. While expressing my frustration with the lack of quality service I'd received, the woman said, "We'll see you when you get here," and hung up on me. They will never see me at that location or any other. read more

The best customer service ever! The branch manager at this location, Ashley, is incredible! She took the time to make sure I had everything I needed. She went way above and beyond. The best customer care I've ever experienced! read more

Hertz Rent A Car - The greatest Hertz customer service lives here! - Car Rental Near Me - Austin, Texas

My rental and car experience have all been good and problem free. My problem is with the online reservation process and pickup. Each time I've gone to rent I have to endure the sales pitch of add ons. Why am I reserving online, hitting no to these question, but then being asked again. Complete waste of my time and it makes me want to be short. Secondly why am I reserving online then having to sit and wait for a vehicle to be clean. Seems like poor planning and again a waste of time. Staff are friendly and nice, but that alone won't make the experience good. read more

I went to the airport rent a car center and stopped by the hertz desk . Very pleasing to the eyes because it's new . The whole place is new. They had four pleasing rental reps. Thomas was the one taking care of me .He was bright, knowledgable , and friendly . Very like able . The car exceeded my expectations . Will use them again !! read more

Arnold was great, very accommodating and friendly. He went above and beyond to find us a SUV rental at an agreeable price. Would rent from this location again. Nearly half the price from what the airport would charge. read more

Friendly service, staff that care about their customers, quick turnaround, solid cars, good operating hours, competitive prices with discounts available for AAA members - this is my #1 choice for car rental in Austin, and it should be yours too. read more

These people are awful. State Farm was to pay 80%. My bill for two days and 25 miles was $45 a day for my 20%. The place is way under staffed. If they are busy no one will answer. Took them seven days to pick up their car at body shop. read more

On September 30, 2016, I had to rent a car after I was in a car accident. The lady that hit my car has State Farm Insurance and they chose Hertz as the place for me to obtain a rental while my car is being repaired. Initially, all went well and I was happy with the service. After electing the optional insurance coverage provided by Hertz at a ridiculously exorbitant rate, I later found out that my own full coverage car insurance covered the rental. That wasn't the problem. After returning the following week to cancel the optional insurance coverage, I discover that I owe approximately $165.00 more than what was quoted. The sales associate, Gabrielle Rivera, told me on the day that I rented the car that Basic protection was $30.00 inclusive of taxes. After returning, she looks at my account on her computer and tells me it is not. She proceeds to offer a clearly unapologetic apology for misinforming me about the Basic insurance policy. She then tells me that I will have to talk to her manager on the following Monday as no manager works on the weekend. Really? What if there is a serious problem? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. What business doesn't have an onsite manager every business day? In any event, now I'll have to take yet more time out of my already busy schedule to speak with the manager about this. Honestly, I have no expectation that she will fix the problem. If the sales associate is that badly misinformed, or more likely, flat out lying just to make a sale on insurance that she knows quite well isn't needed by the overwhelming majority of people, then my expectations remain dismally low for a resolution. I highly advise that anyone avoid this location and Hertz in general if their own sales associates don't even know the specifics of what they're selling. Go with Enterprise instead. The service is impeccably good and their cars are much nicer and cleaner. Without doubt, this is the worst customer service experience of my life and that's saying a lot as I am 55 years old and have rarely ever had any terrible customer service issues. Again, please heed my warning and avoid this location. You will thank me later for the grief I save you! Updated 10/31/16: After speaking with Ashley Kana, the branch manager, she informed me that she had taken remedial action with her sales associate and that the issue that I had would not happen again with future customers. Although I returned the rental car today, Ashley wasn't yet able to adjust the charges, which she graciously agreed to do, until the estimate from the body shop was submitted to State Farm, so that I wouldn't be charged for the additional rental days. Ashley is extremely courteous and friendly and took my complaint quite seriously and will adjust the charge to the amount verbally given to me by the sales associate. I could not be more impressed by her kind demeanor and willingness to make things right for me. She even drove my mother and me to the body shop to pick up my car, even though she didn't have to, because she's just that nice and helpful. Ashley provided outstanding customer service and will rectify the charges as soon as she can close the account. She was able to turn a miserable experience into an outstanding one. It's that willingness to listen to a customer and fix a problem, in addition to just being an overall pleasant person, that makes her an outstanding branch manager. I am adjusting my rating from a 1 to a 5 thanks to Ashley's outstanding customer service and I will now recommend that renting from this location will be a good experience. read more

Booked a "compact". No compacts on arrival. So the manager offered me an "upgrade" which smelled like someone smoked in it for a year. 2nd car was the same. 3rd option was a Kia with big stains on the drivers seat. No thanks. They had another option they tried to upsell me on but I wouldn't pay for it. Then when I said I would (bc I'd rather pay more than smell smoke) they said someone just called to reserve it. Then the manager started telling me that I was rude and that the cars didn't even smell like smoke. So I stepped outside and called Hertz customer service to see if they could mediate. They said "no, sorry, we can only file a complaint". So I went back inside and took card #2. When I got to my arrival city I called Hertz road side assistance and asked for a new car that was smoke free and they were happy to find me one. read more

Terrible experience! Cancelled our reservation after rude customer service at location. The employees at the Oak Hill location were extremely rude and unwilling to help us. They could not have cared less about providing helpful and friendly customer service. In fact, the manager even told us "They don't need our business," and said "bye bye" in a condescending manner as we left. We were shocked. Needless to say, we cancelled our reservation and got a full refund after explaining our experience to HQ. Hello Enterprise! read more

I placed a order online for a 5 pm pickup through Hertz.com the day prior. Unfortunately when i request a 5 pm pickup I was unaware the location closes at 5 pm. Upon my arrival to my surprise the door is locked and when i look inside the three staff members bolt for the backdoor like cockroaches. Then i call customer service that sends me to Maxwell ford to pickup a similar model at the same price. When i arrive they advise they will not honor the price and since its after hours they will not be able to rent me a vehicle even though i arrived at 5:45 pm as agreed with customer service. Do not book through Hertz as they do not honor price, availability and completely lack customer service. There should be a zero star option. read more
