I only rent from this location because of its excellent people. They always take great care of me and make my experience enjoyable and easy. Rose, thanks so much for your assistance these last few times. You are awesome and I appreciate you thinking of me and your interest to make sure my experience is great. I am also surprised as the last person by the bad reviews. Interesting that some of them have to do more with either car inventory or other national services which are very much not something the individuals at this local venue can control. It would be more fair to separate those from the actual interactions with the lovely people at this location. read more

The staff are wonderful especially Madge. However Hertz regularly overbooks this site and they run out of cars. You might have a 2 hour wait or no car at all. What is going on at Hertz? There is no excuse for this. Everyone suffers - both the clients and the staff - for no good reason. Sad. read more

Came in, NO CARS!!! I had a reservation booked weeks ago! The staff could not care less ! Spoke to regular here and apparently, this is regular business for them to have NO CARS even if people booked!!! Very frustrating read more

I am very disappointed with my experience with Enterprise. I originally reserved a vehicle and later needed to change the pickup time. I updated the reservation through the system, but the change apparently was never reflected at the rental location. When I arrived, I was told that I was late and that my reserved vehicle had already been given away. Trying to resolve the issue, I made another reservation for the following day. However, I then received a phone call informing me that there were no vehicles available and that my reservation could not be honored. This experience caused unnecessary stress, inconvenience, and wasted time. The purpose of making a reservation is to have confidence that a vehicle will be available when needed. If the reservation system does not properly update changes and vehicles are not available despite confirmed reservations, it leaves customers in a very difficult position. I understand that inventory issues can happen, but better communication and more reliable reservation management are needed. Unfortunately, this experience left me frustrated and disappointed. read more

Trifty rental experience : At time of pick up of the vehicle I reported to the lady attendant the condition of the car. Dirty and strong smell of smoke. They did not offer a replacement vehicle. Time of return I spoke to the same lot attendant lady and did remind her of the condition. She remembered me from a couple days earlier. At the rental desk I told the attendant what happened and he told me I will get a discount for my trouble. Later I have received an email with the final bill and they charged me $400 for smoking in the car instead of the discount. At the desk the attendant attitude was, it's too bad we have to charge somebody for cleaning the car. Asked for the manager and I was told he cannot be bothered, I should take it up with customer service. Talking to the only sane person, the lot attendant lady remembered and offered to help. She called somebody and she said they will adjust my bill. That was yesterday but I still have not received a final bill with the corrected amount. Spoke to the people at the security checkpoint and they told me I'm not the first passenger these people try to scam. DO NOT RENT FROM TRIFTY AT THIS LOCATION! read more

No car for 2 hours and 15 minutes despite being told continuously one was en route from the airport location (15 minutes away). My wife missed giving her eulogy for her uncle. Staff couldn't have cared less. Oh, and bathroom was "out of order" (which it also was the last time I rented there too). Stay classy, Hertz. read more

Sort of undermines the fundamental definition of a car rental agency when you make a reservation for a car and the location has given away all the cars, leaving you stranded. This location of Hertz continues to disappoint. read more

This is a corrupt, criminal enterprise. When you have to make a change to your reservation or exchange a vehicle, they take advantage of you and up-charge you an incredible amount. Initially, I had rented a car from Dollar JFK that had problems. I called the company's customer support, and was given permission to exchange my original car with another. The nearest place to do so was the Hertz Counter at Westchester County Airport in White Plains, NY. My original reservation with Hertz (Dollar but same company) was for 10 days and $657.88. When I exchanged the car after 4 days, I was charged $434.74 for that car and then given a new contract for a different car. I was charged $762.17 for this 6-day rental. So, even though my original rental for the 10 days was for $657.88, I had to pay $1,196.91 because I exchanged cars. So, although I was authorized to exchange cars, I was charged an additional $539.03. The agent had told me that I would have to pay a $200 penalty for returning the car to a different location, but he never mentioned paying an extra $539.03 overall. read more

what is with the people you have working here??? I don't understand why people take a customer service job if they don't like people. Upon pick up and drop off I dealt with the most rude employees. Upon pick up I was told there were no cars available and they were "sold out" only to go online and book a car at that same location. The employee told me I would likely have to pick up my car at the airport.... When they had cars available.... Make it make sense lol, and then dropping off my car I got to deal wit a older woman who had an attitude and talked to me like I was not intelligent, I'll never return to this hertz again. read more

This dealer was problematic at my pickup as they charged me more than my reservation fee. I went through my T-Mobile Magenta pass, and they tried to charge me to pay for the gas on arrival without honoring my Magenta pass. Then they tried to charge me for gas after my inspection when I returned the vehicle. I reminded them again that I had the Magenta pass, and they said they would take care of it. Then I got a call from their support line claiming that I didn't return the vehicle. I called the support line to resolve this issue. They assured me that I would no longer be charged $100 daily because the issue was resolved but I had to make a dispute claim for the extra charges with the billing department. I never received a confirmation. I tried to dispute the claim on their website but again, there was no confirmation. There is no way the support rep would allow me to resolve the issue if they couldn't prove that they had the car in their possession. This has been the worst experience ever. It felt like theft at every step, and I can't fathom that Hertz can't track their cars. read more

I got a keep for the price of the lowest price car model since it was the cheapest car in the lot that day, the service was great people were nice rude was so smooth . Very happy with my experience and would recommend this for anyone considering renting a car from manhattan who doesn't want to drive through Manhattan! read more

I wish I could give ZERO stars. I booked a midsize vehicle through Expedia. The location closes at 4pm. I began calling this location at 1pm to confirm I would still be able to pick up the car if I arrived at 3:45pm (when my train got in from NYC). I called a dozen times, chose several different options to attempt contact with the location. I called a different Hertz location nearby, and they provided me with the manager's number. I called the manager-- who was extremely unhelpful. I asked him to help me get in contact with the staff at this location. His response: "I'm not even there right now." I arrived at this location 10-15 mins before they closed. Two employees were at the location-- one in the office and one on the lot. I advised that I had a reservation and he looked at me and said, "we have no cars." And I stated I had been trying to call since 1pm this afternoon to confirm as I am not from the area. He repeated that they had no cars and "we have been in and out of the office all day" to which I said I had called over a dozen times since 1pm. I asked if he could process my refund. He told me since it was from Expedia, he could not, and I would have to contact customer service. Offered to let me rent a car the next day-- even though I needed the rental tonight. Staff was RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, and EXTREMELY UNHELPFUL. Called Enterprise and they were able to not only assist with a rental in a matter of minutes, they assured that they would be open and ready to provide a vehicle when we arrive. I will NEVER use Hertz again.. they only hurt you! RUDE UNPROFESSIONAL AND COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL! read more

I rent from Hertz quite often tried out this location Madge helped me with my rental she was very friendly and very professional had my car fueled up and washed and ready for me she gave me a great car Chevy impala had a great experience with this Hertz A+ too Madge looking forward to coming back for another rental !! read more

See all

Will never rent from Hertz anywhere again. Checking in was nice and they even upgraded our car however when we asked if they had a toddler seat NO ONE told us we would have to pay more each day for the seat. Instead when we returned the car they slapped us with a $70 charge. I didn't even need to get one as my son is 7 and I could have bought one for $20! When you are traveling you are spending so much money as it is. No compensation, just rude people saying to bad it was on my contract. No where on the paper that I have says the cost. Rude, rude, rude. In this day and age reviews and recommendations are important and no customer satisfaction was given. Now that I'm reviewing no wonder they had low stars. I will never recommend this place or any other Hertz to anyone. read more

A pretty good spot to do a car rental from NYC and cheap. It's right off the metro north train in north white plains about 500 feet walking distance. They have after hours drop. I rented a car for the weekend for 65$ as opposed to in the city it would have been 100$ a day. They have plenty of cars and all sizes. This place is about a 45 minute ride on metro north to grand central around 8$ one way very convenient. read more

While the car met expectations, and the check out guys were polite they neglected to inform us when we rented the car that there was a $70 charge for a booster seat. We would have refused that seat and bought one at target for half the price and donated it to charity when we left. At no time did they say anything similar to 'there is a $70 charge for this seat we are handing you.' They claim it was on our contract but the only piece of paper we were given was a rental slip that shows no such charge. They refused to reverse the charge at the end. It was a complete scam to pocket $70. read more

Hertz Rent A Car - @hertz - Car Rental Near Me - White Plains, New York

I am very sad to have to write this review. But I needed to warn people. And I feel so strongly about it that I breathed new life back into my old Yelp account. My rental experience was actually delightful at this location. It's super easy to reach from the city (and then from the Metro North). The folks at the counter when renting and returning were delightful. And the price was great. So, what gives? Several days after returning my car, I got a fraud alert from my credit card company: a charge from American Transportation Solutions for just over $70. They declined the charge, but while I was dealing with AmEx on the phone, I googled this company. It seems that Hertz outsources its Plate Pass program to them and that charges belatedly come from it. Well, that's all well and good except for the fact that I DIDN'T HAVE A PASS IN MY CAR. I didn't want one (There were two tolls I knew i'd pass on my route, totaling less than $6.00 together. I still have the receipt for paying in cash for one. I think I spit gym out into the other). And I even checked and saw that the EZ Pass velcro behind the mirror held not EZ Pass. Again, I didn't want one, wasn't paying for one, and didn't have one. But on a consumer affairs website (the same one from which I learned what this company is), there were 193 other complaints, many just like mine from other Hertz locations. Shame on Hertz for ruining what was a great experience with fraud. I'm glad AmEx knows what the company is up to as well. read more

This is the best place to rent a car! Right off of metro north train! Staff is the best! Ask for Madge! read more

Did you know that without telling you HERTZ CHARGES you when you enter your frequent flyer number ? You see it as a line item charge when you receive the bill. #badbusinesspractice if you're going to add in charges you need to let your customer know. I can BUY miles if I wanted to pay for them? read more

Terrible service!! Rent a bicycle instead a car in this place. I wish i could put zero for them. Made reservation online and took me 1 hour to give all information. Tried to be polite but looks like they really dont care. Junk place, expensive. read more

I'm shocked by all the negative reviews i see. I've rented here at least ten times in the past 5 years. I live in Manhattan where the prices are almost triple. Somebody wrote that it's 5 minutes from the train station? WHAT???? It's literally right ACROSS the street from the North White Plains Metro North station. Other people wrote reviews that apply to Hertz in general - but not applicable to this location. It's a small place - so if time is a concern you may want to arrive early if they're busy. But still never had to wait an excessive amount of time. I wish they had later hours - especially on Sunday - but again, great prices compared with the city. read more

I am reviewing this location not all of Hertz. Every time I come here, the people are very friendly and helpful. Madge is the reason I keep coming back here. Reserve early and make sure you have everything in order and it will be easy. I joined the gold club thing and it makes things even easier. read more

WARNING! Check your rental prior to leaving this Location. This location has better prices due to the poor quality of the vehicles on the lot. When you enter Note: all the mechanical issues that 90% of the cars are waiting on to be resolved. I am currently disputing charges for a $333 for a 1week rental, which was towed to jfk on day 3. According to Stanley (manager) "if I Never rent from the location again", he would clear the bill. It has been 2wks since the car was towed and I am still waiting on Stanley's assistance. Check the following before leaving this site: Horn, Tires, Wiper fluid, working phone outlets, damaged tires, spare tire. read more

What I thought it could be a bad experience with car rental, ended up being a bad customer service. I reserved to rent a compact car ( what shows online to be a Ford Focus) for three weeks. When I got at the establishment I was told there was no Focus, however they had a compact which there is no was it can be compared with the model above, a Chevy Spark. Or even better a Mazda 2!! I ended up getting one of those tiny cars but as didn't work for me, for being taller than the average person that fits in one of those, I came back to switch after two days and got the compact car they actually showed online. From my experience that was the only good point from the customer service which deserved the two stars I am giving it above. I got the car and right after the snow storm I realized the washer fluid was running low. I CAME BACK TO FILL IT UP! It got frozen so they gave me another car, the same model. I prepared myself and bought a washer fluid at the gas station and everything went well. With the car... The terms I verbally dictated was to return the car on Monday. What I didn't realize was that the contract showed to be returned by Sunday at 1pm. So, to increase the level of frustration I got charged an extra day, after the amount agreed at the first contact. I saw a transaction on my statement early in the Monday morning before returning the car and drove to the establishment. They showed me on the contract that I got an agreement for returning on Sunday and couldn't do anything about it. I didn't hear not even an apology from the agent nor from the manager on duty. Well, I thought after a three weeks of rent could give a hope to a rental car company to have a loyal customer. But it shows that they don't care about it. Whenever you rent with Hertz make sure the date on the contract and the car that you take. This is my second and last experience that I have with them. Both frustrating, happening in different states. read more

They provide very bad service at this location and they do not do a good a job at customer service at all and they are often unprofessional when you visit this location in particular. It's best to rest elsewhere where you can get better service. read more

This is one of the best locations to rent from. When you go there, be sure to ask for BEAUTY, and you will receive EXCELLENT service. Also, their prices are very reasonable. (Make sure you sign up for HERTZ rewards gold program. read more

Great service with a very understanding staff. Nicole could not have made the experience any easier, & went out of her way to assist. The gentleman who brought out the car was very patient while I learned the basics of a new car. Courteous, professional and accommodating. Will use this Hertz office again.(added bonus, the office is directly across from the Metro North station.) read more

Absolute trash. Unbearably unhelpful. Rude. By far the most unpleasant experience I've ever had renting a car anywhere.

When I originally booked my reservation it was for $374.28. When I received my final receipt it was for $912.13. Pick up reservation was Windsor Locks, CT on 5/23/14. Drop off location was White Plains, NY on 5/31/14. I emailed 6/20/14 and never heard back from anyone. I was asking that someone take a look into this and refund me the difference immediately. There was an obvious mistake made there. A shame that Hertz is quick to bill you but not quick to respond to their customers when there are issues with reservations. read more

Right across from North White Plains Metro North stop - could not have been easier. Staff members were GREAT both picking up and dropping off. read more

Prompt, friendly, professional service. This location has their act together. You will get in and out in under 10 minutes on a great ride, with an affordable rental price that beats Manhattan prices hands down. Easy to get to on Metro North, only steps away from the North White Plains Station. read more

Perfect location for getting out of the city, staff was very good and helpful. It is virtually across the street. We made the reservation online and were out in three minutes. read more

Very conveniently located across the street from the North White Plains Metro North stop - and the prices are much more reasonable than NYC locations. All the paperwork was ready when we arrived (I am a GoldPlus member) and we were off in a matter of minutes. Service was surprisingly friendly for a car rental place; the car was almost new and clean. They close early but after hours returns are very easy. It is a pain to take the train up from NYC but the cost savings and friendly location are worth it. read more

Worst place to rent a car!! The place was empty with no customers and they still took 30 minutes just to finally get the paperwork going. After that, they needed to fax a form and make make several calls for whatever reason adding another 30 min to the wait. It was just plain awful service - we ended up not renting anything at all because I couldn't fathom how returning the vehicle would be. I've rented plenty of cars before in NY since I am not a local but do come up here frequently for business. Take my advise and by all means avoid this location. read more

I have rented a car from this location twice and have been disappointed both times. The last time we rented a car here was for Labor Day weekend. We picked up our Compact car which was actually a Ford Fiesta not a Ford Focus or similar as described on my reservation. This didn't worry us too much but is misleading. We returned the car on Monday early evening and were required to do an after hours drop off due to the office being shut (As was explained to us previously). However this requires you to park in a public parking space and feed the meter until 7am the following morning (20 hours max parking @ $1 per hour = a lot of quarters). After running all over town for quarters I returned to the car, removed our bags from the trunk, and ran the keys up to the return box while my wife waited by the car. After returning from the keys we noticed my very expensive Nikon DSLR camera still sitting on the back seat. We rang all the Hertz contact #'s we could find but after getting no response decided to return to NYC and call at 7am in the morning when the office opened. I called at 7:02am on Tuesday morning to inform Hetrz of the camera and the cars registration # & location. I was told by the branch manager Stanley that he had 80 cars to clear and did not have time to retrieve my camera! After ringing back several times that day told me he didn't check the car before it left for servicing and he did not have a camera handed in. it is terrible that he was unable to spend 5 minutes on his day locating the camera for a Hertz Gold member! After 3 days and 30-40 phone calls to Hertz white plains Stanley concluded that the camera was not found during servicing and that Hertz were unable to identify who transferred the car to the airport. After following up the the area manger she concluded that it appeared the camera had been stolen by a Hertz staff member but they were not able to track that person. Due to the waver signed in the rental agreement Hertz avoid all responsibility for such loses and therefore the are no consequences for such negligent staff behavior. I have a $500 reward out for the return of my camera but have not heard back from Hertz since. NEVER RENT FROM THE THIEVES AT HERTZ WHITE PLAINS. read more

IF I could leave 0 stars I would. Hertz as a corporation is awful, but the service at the white plains location and Westchester airport location is actually worse. My mother-in-law flew in from Portland Or and picked up a car at JFK... by the time she arrived in Irvington NY the front end was shimmying so bad the car was practically un-drivable. She called the 800# and was told to go to the Westchester Airport to pick up a new car. When she got there the surly counter person told her that it was impossible -that she should have called them directly and that the person on the phone did not know what they were talking about ... after much ado and finger pointing my mother-in-law managed to leave with a new car - because she had no other way out of there! The next day she was in the parking lot of Walgreens and the car would not shut off. You guessed it a Chevy with the ignition recall... totally jammed... Had to call a tow truck and was towed to this miserable location by the train station in White Plains where she received her 3rd car in as many days.... The rest of the trip was uneventful, except that the day before she was to leave she became very ill and unable to drive. My husband took the car to this location to drop it off - since it is where we got it... and was told that he had to bring it back to JFK. He explained the circumstances, that his mother was too ill to drive and that we had hired a car service to take her to the airport.. they said they did not care... He asked if he could pay for the "change" and was told it was $450... He went on to explain the numerous cars we had to go through and the bad experience we had - and was told too bad... Not only that but the nasty, surly counterwoman lied to him and told him he had to fill up the gas tank -- when we later found out that his mom had paid for the full tank option. We were then forced to drive down to JFK from White Plains to return the car... which ended up costing close to $700. Needless to say there will NEVER EVER be a circumstance where we or anyone we know will darken the doorway of any Hertz Rental Car Agency again...and I will be sure to tell everyone and anyone I know about how poorly an elderly woman and her family that was attempting to take care of her was treated by Hertz in White Plains and the Westchester County Airport. read more

We rented at this Hertz location (and nearby places managed out of this location) a number of times, and came to realize this place tries to trick you into paying extra whenever they get a chance. Avoid if you can. If you have to go there, be aware of these tricks: Once we noticed the prices for the full tank option and the pre-pay refueling option (I.e. they refuel for you if returned less than full tank) were switched on their counter, so the pre-pay option looked incredibly cheap at $3.5/gallon, while actual price was $9 something. They switched them back when questioned. Could be a mistake. But well, that should have been our early The last time we rented at their Scarsdale location which is managed by the white plains location as we later found out. The car given to us had been parked under a tree and had white paint (bird drops?) all over it. We were in a hurry and the other cars there looked crapy anyway, so we took the car, and later had to clean up the paint on the front window ourselves. Ok. So we returned the car the way it was, and the agent said everything was ok. We got our receipt next day, and guess what? We were charged $150 for "cleaning" fees! When contacted for this and some other issues during the rental(I'll save space here), the person in charge at the white plains location was completely in denial and lied to our face. Two months before the above incident we used their after-hour return service in another rental at white plains, which by itself was a nice feature. We parked the car where they told us to (and we confirmed twice the "right" place to park), and dropped the key off. Got the receipt a week later and no problem...Well, two months later a letter arrived and said we needed to pay for parking tickets plus hertz's "handling fee" of $30/ticket incurred at the night and next morning while the car was parked outside during that return. And btw the ticket fines were doubled from $25 to$50 b/c it was delayed for over a month. Remember hertz never informed us the existence of these tickets after return, so now we are responsible for the late fees? Plus $30/piece handling for late notice? When contacted the manager (a different person from incident 2, go figure) again found all types of excuses, and when proved wrong on all of them promised to "look into it" and call back. Of course that did not happen and they stopped answering our calls. Well, enough is enough and we kick ourselves for not heeding early warning signs. Oh btw, don't even try hertz's corporate customer service line. They "have to listen to the field office" ( so why do I need you?), and is only a waste of time. read more

I had a good experience at this Hertz. It is literally right across the street from the North White Plains station, and the rates are so much more reasonable than in the city. We didn't have to wait and got our car quickly. They close at 4 on Sunday, but they allow after-hours returns (you just have to park the car on the street and leave the keys in the drop box; make sure you call the next day to confirm return). read more

One thing for sure they excel in is their rudeness and worst customer service! They added additional service when I repeatedly mentioned that I do not want it and tried to convince me that due to my gold plus membership and my companies contract with them it is automatically added and cannot be taken out. When I called the Hertz billing department they mentioned it is optional! I had to again go back to their location and get it corrected and also I did not get any acknowledgment or apology of their mistake! I really hope they get better people as it is the only Hertz in the White Plains, NY area! read more

I don't often rent cars - perhaps once a year or so - and I've now rented from this Hertz three times over the last three years. Most of the staff that has attended me at this outlet have been very friendly, and that includes the personnel who service the cars and receive them upon return. I don't know if this is typical with Hertz as a company, but I just felt I was dealing with nice people who liked their jobs, their customers and their coworkers. For my most recent rental, since the Jetta I had in mind had just been rented out by the guy ahead of us in line - and because it was snowing - I upgraded to an all-wheel drive mini-SUV, a Nissan Rogue. I'm not generally a fan of Nissan (nor Toyota - I wish they had more Hondas and Subarus), but this vehicle was fine, and we felt safer in an AWD car in those driving conditions. The agent upsold us on the purchase of a full tank of gas so that we could just drop the car on the way back with no need to refuel, thus saving time and hassle (but not money). In this case, we REALLY appreciated the saved time on the way back since we were thus able to catch an earlier train back to Manhattan, which ended up saving us an entire hour - no small thing when you're hustling back to the city after a long trip. So we didn't mind the fact we "donated" nearly a half-tank back to Hertz - in this case, the $20+ difference was well worth it. But the standout moment in the whole experience was when Mary (I believe I heard a coworker call her by name) darted into our train car just as the doors were about to close, and handed me my cellphone charger that I had left in the car in our haste to try to catch the train. How she found our train car just in the nick of time, I'll never know. But she did it with a big smile, and I'll be writing to Hertz just to let them know how far out of her way she went (there are a lot of stairs to go up and down after you cross the street to the train station), and how delightful this was. Apologies for the long and rambling review, Yelpers, but I really had a great experience with these guys. read more
