I rented originally from the Dulles airport, with a brand new Hyundai Kona with 500 miles on it. I…read moredrove the to the Westin in DC for an overnight stay. The next morning, I went into the garage and the car was completely dead. I had not left the lights on and sometimes this happens with new cars that have been sitting for too long. I thought I was in luck when I realized this Hertz location was located in the Westin. The staff came into the garage and tried to start the car -- completely dead. The following is a recap of 17 different issues that transpired over the next 15 hours: Issue 1: They had to uncover the lock to try the physical key and open the door -- they didn't use a proper screwdriver and used the physical key instead to pry off the cap, keying the door in the process! Issue 2: They thought the battery was dead, but didn't have a battery jumper onsite, so said I would have to call Roadside Assistance. Issue 3: I had to leave for several meetings and I asked if I could swap the car with another one that they had on site. They said they could not accept a Hyundai or Kia because they get broken in all the time. Instead, I had to call Roadside Assistance. Issue 4: I called Roadside Assistance and after a 15 minute hold, they said they could send someone onsite, but it could take up to 1.5 hours. I had to leave for my meeting, so I asked if the roadside visit could be scheduled for 4 pm when I was back onsite. They said that would not be possible and I would have to call back. Issue 5: I ended up having to take 3 Ubers throughout the day since I didn't have a working rental car -- $103.44 later. Issue 6: That evening I called Roadside Assistance and after a 20 minute hold, they said they could send someone with a battery starter. Issue 7: Roadside Assistance texted that it would be upwards of 90 minutes to come onsite. Issue 8: Roadside Assistance arrived and tried multiple times to jumpstart the car with a battery starter. Car would not start after multiple attempts. Issue 9: I had to call Roadside Assistance again. After a 20 minute hold, the system transferred me to a live person and I was disconnected. Issue 10: I had to call Roadside Assistance again. After a 20 minute hold, they scheduled a 2nd tow truck to come. I told them that the garage clearance was 6'5". I asked if I could head to Reagan Airport to get a replacement car first, or if I had to wait for the tow. Roadside Assistance said they did not know -- it depends on the staff at Reagan. Issue 11: I received a text from the tow company that it would take 2 hours. Issue 12: I realized that 2 hours would put me past the 11 pm closure at Hertz Reagan Airport, so I wouldn't have the car for my next morning's meetings. I called Hertz Reagan Airport directly to see if I could pick up a car before the tow arrived. No one picked up. Issue 13: I called Roadside Assistance again and after a 20 minute hold, I asked them if I could pick up a car before the tow arrived. They did not know and tried calling Hertz Reagan Airport directly -- no one picked up. They said to just go and take my chances. Issue 14: I had to take an Uber to Hertz Reagan since my rental car didn't work: $45.37. Issue 15: Successful rental car pickup at Hertz Reagan and arrived back at the Westin hotel, *before* the 2nd tow truck arrived. Issue 16: 2nd tow truck arrived, taller than 6'5" in height. They could not enter, but would try a battery jumper instead. Issue 17: Despite me telling Roadside Assistance exactly where the car was located in the garage (P2, Yellow Section, near the Hotel elevator), and telling the tow company the same information, I spent 15 minutes wandering the garage trying to find the tow truck driver with the battery jumper. Final Resolution: Driver was able to jump start the car and I drove it to the surface, where he towed it away. Total resolution time - 9 am discovery; 6 pm re-engaging Roadside Assistance, 12 am successful tow. Most of this could have been avoided if this Westin Hertz location looked out for the customer and swapped cars to begin with.

I've been a Hertz presidents circle or five star member for about 10 years now. This is by far the worst experience with a location that I've ever had. I've rented a car from this location 5 times. 3 out of those five times I was cancelled on day-of. One time they texted me one hour before the reservation started to let me know there's no car available, and the next two times I just showed up and there were either no cars available or only electric cars (sorry, I don't always have an hour to dedicate to charging. Isn't the whole point of renting a car the convenience?) If a rental car location has a less than 50% success rate of delivering cars when reservations are made, then maybe it shouldn't be open. Nothing is worse than making plans THREE TIMES and having to cancel them because once again, the car is not available for you. Just don't do it. You'll tell yourself " oh well, surely it can't be that bad." Yes, it's gonna be that bad. You're rolling the dice in seeing if you can get a car. 2 out of 5 stars for 2 out of 5 successful rentals seems fair to me.

I had a disappointing experience with SIXT that I think others should be aware of…read more I reserved a standard gasoline vehicle because I am not familiar with hybrid or electric cars. At pickup, I was told my vehicle was unavailable and was given an "upgrade," but it was not clearly explained that the car operated as a hybrid. When the car made no engine sound, I reasonably thought it was not working. I contacted customer service and was initially told to return the vehicle, which caused confusion and delay. Only later was I told it was functioning normally as a hybrid. Because of this lack of clear explanation and conflicting guidance, I missed a scheduled medical appointment. I contacted customer service multiple times and attempted to resolve the issue. The final resolution offered was a $15 voucher, which did not reflect the impact of the situation. This experience highlighted poor communication at pickup and inconsistent customer support. I would recommend that future customers ask very specific questions about the vehicle type and operation before leaving the lot.

It would not come close to fitting in my normal size parking spaces at work and home (I live and work in a Washington DC which parking space is always limited). I looked at the customer service agent in disbelief. He was not kidding. I had to wait over an hour for him to bring a car from another location...and he was not happy to have to do it. He was one of those "used car salesmen" types...sickeningly friendly - so insincere. 2. The car I was given seemed ok but neither he nor i noticed what had to have been a hairline crack in the back windshield because when, a couple of days later, I shut the door and stepped on the brake to start the car (I had not yet touched the button to start the car, I had only stepped on the brake), the slight motion shattered the entirety of the back windshield. It was shocking to say the least. I returned the car and he refused to even speak to me about it, saying it was my fault. My insurance was charged WAY TOO MUCH for the windshield - over $700 - and I had to pay a $250 deductible. They actually made money on it!

But be wary when renting around the holidays; they were moving cars too quickly and gave us a succession of vehicles with problems: major scrapes on the driver's side windshield, grody tobacco in the cup holders, mid-level gas tanks, and a slow-leaking tire. They were amenable to swapping each car and grew more apologetic each time, and offered to comp us a few days of the rental. It is taking more hoop-jumping than it should to get the actual refund. But overall it was a good and reasonable response from Enterprise CUA.

I have rented vehicles from Enterprise for years, regularly and consistently, for business travel…read moreacross the country. Because of that, this experience was especially surprising and deeply disappointing. I am very familiar with how Enterprise typically operates and this location fell far below that standard. The only difference this time was that the rental was through insurance, and I was treated accordingly. I rented a vehicle from this location on Friday through my insurance company. I called ahead to let them know I would be arriving later than originally planned and was given a confirmed pickup time of 1:30 PM. I arrived at 1:19 PM, within that window, and was told my reserved vehicle had already been given to someone else. I was then told I had been called about this, which was untrue. No call was made. Rather than being offered a comparable replacement to my insured vehicle--a 2018 Chevy Equinox I was only offered two options: an electric vehicle or a Honda Civic. Neither is equivalent to the SUV my insurance was paying for. This was despite there being other comparable vehicles visibly available on the lot. The electric vehicle I was handed smelled strongly of smoke and was poorly cleaned. I was told it had only 30 miles of charge and would require eight hours to recharge, yet no instructions were provided. Once driving, it became immediately clear that the remaining charge equated to about 27 minutes of drive time, which was not enough to reach my mechanic and return home. The vehicle would have stalled somewhere on the road, leaving me stranded with no knowledge of how to recharge it. This created a serious safety issue, as I am responsible for transporting my son, sister, and mother. Being sent off in an undercharged electric vehicle with no guidance was not just inconvenient it was dangerous. When I returned the vehicle immediately upon realizing this, I was then offered a Honda Civic, again not equivalent. No apology was offered for the misinformation, the lack of preparation, or the fact that I watched an equivalent vehicle being rented to someone else during this interaction. No solutions were provided. I canceled the insurance rental at this location. However, the branch failed to properly close out the rental. Had I not personally contacted my insurance adjuster twice to create a documented timestamp, it would have appeared as though I had rented a vehicle when I did not. As a long-time Enterprise customer who rents frequently for business, this experience was shocking. I will never return to this location, and I strongly recommend that anyone renting under insurance avoid this branch entirely.
