    Hertz is not my usual choice for car rental. Since it was a work trip and my work uses Hertz, I had no choice. You need to take a shuttle from the airport when renting from CLE airport. Check in was horrendous. Monday evening around 7:30 pm, there was only 1 rep working the counter. Every other car rental counter had at least 2 reps at their counter. We waited over 45 mins on the line which is unacceptable and frustrating. We got a 2023 Nissan Sentra with 24K miles on it. The car wasn't cleaned from the previous renter since we found a half bottle of Diet Coke in the back seat. The only positive experience was drop off. Jose did a walk around, confirmed the charges and we were on our way. It was quick and seamless which is how it's supposed to be.

    CLE Rental Car Center has really gone downhill I chose Hertz since no one else had cars for rent even with advance reservations

    Being a business traveler I can never say I'll never use any particular rental car company so after my go to rental car company that I have literally rented hundreds of rentals with again failed me when traveling to Cleveland because of no cars available so I booked through Hertz and believe me the process was a little painful after showing up at the counter after booking my rental online. I immediately missed the "by-pass the counter" guys. The inability to choose my own car after I've had a chance to look at the inventory and making my own choice is really frustrating not to mention I spent 45 minutes at the counter and charged a fee of $486.36 for a beat up 37,468 mile Honda SUV which they considered an upgrade for 2 1/2 days which comes out to about $3.24 a mile plus the fuel cost. I'll definitely look for other options my next trip to Cleveland and I'm not ruling out Uber - I'm a reasonable person so it's not upsetting but it is ridiculous and has convinced me that the travel industry is totally failing. They get two stars only because they had cars...

    Fraudulently charged me $611.08 on a $184.09 rental. Charged me for a missing carseat (not true). Charged me for missing keys (not true). Charged me for tolls (I pre-paid for the EZ pass). Charged me for three extra hours of rental (I returned the car 40 minutes before the deadline). I was still in town so went into the location and have video evidence as well as audio of them CONFIRMING the keys were there, confirming the carseat was there and confirming that the car was returned online. I received confirmation that I would be refunded $427.01 in 5-7 days. That was in June. When I called back in July when I did not receive a refund they told me OHHH IT ACTUALLY TAKES 4-6 WEEKS WOW. They even sent me a $100 credit towards Hertz for my troubles...I would rather have my money back. Now no one will pick up the mgr number they gave me so I filed a complaint with Hertz corporate. THEY TOLD ME THE LOCATION NEVER EVEN FILED FOR A REFUND!!! The complaint was escalated AND they requested a refund but - get this - it's contingent upon the location approving (that's right - the same location that fraudulently charged me in the first place, has been acting in bad faith and never requested a refund in the first place). I had a sneaking suspicion that something shady would happen so I luckily have have audio recording of me going back into this location where it was confirmed BY the people working there that I WOULD receive a refund. FWIW the two women that work there (Rocky was one) were both helpful but wow. I can't believe it. I am filing a complaint with the BBB and the attorney general.

And, the two knuckleheads they had at the counter to handle a line of 50 people were pathetically slow and talked to each other about nonsense more than interacted with their angry frustrated customers.

TERRIBLE rental car center at Cleveland Airport, TERRIBLE!!! If I could give them a negative star, I would.

We quickly learned that they were understaffed and the girl was moving as quickly as possible. When we finally got sort, we our car and we were on our way to check out at the main gain (only one gate was open because again, understaffed) so the line had about 6 cars waiting (this was the exit for all of the car rentals). Once it was our turn, we were sent back again because he noticed our plates were expired. So we got in another car but told that it was the wrong car. We finally got into our car, waited in the car check out line again and we were in our way. The staff was really nice and checking out was easier because you just leave your car (though if were damaged after you left it, you'd have a hard time proving it). Luckily, we didn't have any issues. I'd try them again and chalk up the slowness and miscommunication to having a lack of staff due to the pandemic.

An hour later at the airport I receive an updated rental agreement stating that the tank was 1/4 full and I owed over $120. Good thing I took a picture of the fuel gauge!

I've dealt with some pretty awful car rental places in recent years. So, I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about here. So, what makes a car rental business decent, you ask? Well, in my humble opinion, it comes down to just one word: convenience. Renting a car shouldn't be like pulling teeth. You should be able to book a reservation in advance, receive that reservation upon arrival with a mere license and credit card verification, perform your exterior damage inspection or whatever, and be on your merry way. And that's exactly what Dollar does. Nothing about this transaction was difficult for me. In fact, I was immensely impressed by how quickly they got me a car; less than 20 minutes. The lines weren't even long. As for the car itself, it was fine. The turn-in process was a little strange, due to their normal lane being closed that day (it was a Saturday). But I place the blame solely on the car rental lot itself over Dollar. After getting redirected to the actual turn in lane, all I had to do was leave the keys in the car, grab all my stuff, and roll out. It was that simple. I wish all car rentals went this smoothly. But, man...I could tell you some horror stories! Only minor complaint I have is that Dollar's mobile app still sucks. So, I can't really rank them as "top notch" just yet. But they're decent enough and so are their prices. Dollar Rent a Car gets 4 midsize SUVs out of 5.
