    Gave me a car with a faulty gas tank. The tank was almost empty when I received it. When I tried to stop at a gas station, the tank was stuck closed. I pulled the lever, played with anything that could possibly help to open the car, but to no avail. There is damage all along the gas tank, showing that other drivers before me have had to forcibly open the gas tank with something metal. That was bad enough, but what was worse was the fact that Hertz is basically impossible to get in touch with and they will not help you once you're stuck. They claim you need to pay them to come retrieve their faulty vehicles. State Farm, who was the company that set up the rental, was just as unhelpful with resolving this issue. My local agent did everything he could, but State Farm claims department just stood by the lies told by Hertz Rentals, claiming the car was in perfect working order and it was my responsibility to get their broken down car back to them. These shenanigans interfered with my work and an interview I had scheduled. At this point, they owe me for lost wages and lost work opportunities. It's disgusting that this is allowed. Someone could be hurt or killed getting into these death trap vehicles. The one I received ran loudly, had shredded windshield wipers, tons of body damage, and worst of all the locked down gas tank.

    Go to Hertz location on Mannheim Rd, Des Plaines Alecea gives you a great service. She has been working there long time. I worked with her while i had rental. She was very fast on her job even there were 30-40 people each hour. She does uber job, she does rental job and she does mechanic job, check car tire pressure, drive car if any problem and then give it to customer. She teach me a lot about the car when i rented and she is manager. Sorry i forgot to ask their name but She got a good co-worker lady with glasses and good black guy as co worker who has a long hair. They help driver even after 5:00 pm, EVEN THEY DONT GET PAID FOR. Once they were in office till 6:30pm till last driver job done and driver got the car and left. Hard to find people to help 1.5 hour in these days. Alecea is a great person, if you have any concern, just go to her. Thank you again Alecea, Girl with glasses and guy with long hair.

This company should be out of business. I believe it sets up everyone when possible. I booked a car at Priceline with $141, My flight was deyed so I was delayed around one hour by the time I was at the counter. I was told the car I booked not available anymore and I need to pay $400 for a similar replacement. People in front of me, during my converstaion with the staff, and people came after me, NO ONE got what they booked, everyone was very upset. The staff attitude were very bad, badically "take it or leave it!" From what i experienced and observed, I believe it was NOT acidental but a well planed setup, So NEVER EVER use Advantage!!!!!!

    Enterprise is one of the more expensive rental shops, so they're not my first place for a car…read morerental. However, when I last rented a car, the company (not Enterprise) called a couple days before my rental period to tell me they wouldn't have the minivan I had reserved. Since the car type was non-negotiable due to the number of folks who'd be in the car, I have been wary to use that other agency since. When I called Enterprise and asked if my car type would be guaranteed, they said it would be no problem and they kept their word. The car was in good condition, clean, and comfortable to drive and ride in. Pickup was easy and fast as well. As of June 2026, they put a deposit of $300 on your card for the rental. This location does the "enterprise picks you up" thing, and that is good within a two mile radius. I'll need to keep that in mind for next time.

I returned the car a day early, and ended up getting charged over $1,900. They lied and did not return any money and would not provide me with a receipt either. Be careful of this location, they also do not check the cars before they rent them out. I found an open beer bottle in the back seat of my rental upon picking up the car. Really shady people working here who do not have your best interest in mind. I almost feel like they did it on purpose, crooked people at this location. Do your research, and choose elsewhere.

Since the Alamo counter was closed, we were redirected to the National counter where the staff was incredibly friendly. We were even given an additional discount as the rates were much better for the July 4th weekend, and we had booked our trip 1 or 2 months ago when the rates were high. That was a great way to start a trip. Overall the vehicle was great and fun to drive especially being new it had the assisted driving (ADAS) which made the long drive relaxing. There was a small windshield crack (under an quarter of an inch barely visible), and while their policy only requires reporting damage over two inches from prior experiences, I made them note it on the record before I took the vehicle from the lot just to be on the safe side. Returning the car was a breeze, just drove straight in, unloaded our bags and off to catch a plane
