    All the negative reviews are true. I tried to give them a chance and had the exact same run around…read moreas others whose vehicles were given away. The best part is they said they had no vehicles at the same time I had an email with a rental agreement saying the agreement had been adjusted to someone I did not even know and I would be responsible for payment. Annette, the only person at the Westin Hertz location, said she could not do anything more because she was closing and wasn't sure what happened. She even had the wrong credit card for me. She sent me to a nearby location to someone named Natasha who was the manager of that location. She was supposed to be able to fix it all. Another employee who answered the phone at the other Galleria West Loop location said Natasha wasn't in but was helpful enough to call her. I overheard her tell Natasha that I was the customer for whom Annette had messed up the paperwork. I was then told to hold after they realized I could hear them. Annette was by herself, something I have almost never seen at car rental agencies. I have no idea if anyone was properly trained, but I was treated poorly at both locations. No apologies that they did not honor my contract. Its not clear they will not charge me for the stranger to whom they gave my rental. Stay away!!!

Enterprise said card was now locked and I had to do this in person In the morning. I arrived in the morning and let the location know. They ran the card 2 times it did not go thru. I told them funds are there it is locked in your system. The person didn't believe me and suggested I call the bank which I did in front of him and the bank said they got no attempts on their side. I told them again the their Enterprise system locked the card on their side and the issue did not come from the bank. They kept insisting it was the bank and when I got upset they said they were not going to talk to me with my raised voice and to make sure I gave them the key because I was not allowed to leave with it - I could not have another day. My response was that I was not a thief. yes, I gave them the key back and now writing this review. In the middle of these events #2 below was going on as well at the location at the same time. 2) I called the 1-888 number and asked for a manager at 1-888 number. The person who answered was nice but didn't know how to help the situation as she tried to run the card thru snd it didn't go thru. I then asked for a manager. The manager typed in the info I gave her and sent it to the people I was talking to in front of me. Then she hung up on me. I thought being that it was their company they knew how to fix the situation. Not ever coming back

    Was given a defective car with a tire issue. Then went to return it, I didn't fill it up but that…read moreshouldn't matter. There was maybe 1/8 of a tank used. They messed up and they charged me for it. Then I'm given a new rental, and I get it and the back window had been open and it was raining! I needed to go, so I left. But the car had mold spots all over the interior ceiling. The customer service could have been better. They should have waived the fuel charge given they gave me a defective tire. Also they need to repave their parking lot. The lot is full of potholes, and when it rains it becomes a lake and you can't see the potholes!

    Dear Hertz Customer Relations Team, I am writing to formally…read morecomplain about my recent rental experience and to request a full refund of my rental charges along with reimbursement for the alternative transportation l was forced to arrange as a direct result of your vehicle's failure and Hertz's inability to provide a solution. At the time of pickup, a Hertz employee conducted a vehicle inspection with me present. However, approximately 30 to 40 minutes into my drive, the air conditioning system completely stopped functioning, making the vehicle undriveable under the conditions. | immediately called Hertz customer services to report the issue. The representative confirmed that there were no replacement vehicles available in my area, leaving me with no alternative. She then instructed me to return the vehicle all the way back to the Houston branch where I had originally rented it. This was not a viable option - driving back to Houston would have caused me to be significantly late to my destination. With no solution offered by Hertz, I had no choice but to return the vehicle to the nearest available branch. Upon returning the vehicle, the agent at the drop-off branch requested that I pay for the time / had used the car. While I did not wish to cause a scene as she was polite and understanding, I made it clear that i did not consider this fair given the circumstances. She acknowledged my concern and kindly provided me with the contact details to raise a formal complaint. With no rental vehicle and no replacement offered by Hertz, I was left stranded and had to arrange my own transportation to reach my destination in New Orleans. Finding an Uber proved extremely difficult, as multiple drivers cancelled due to the long distance involved. After nearly an hour of failed attempts, 1 was finally able to secure a ride. In total, my Uber fare to New Orleans came to $262.74 + $200 cash tips To be clear, this entire ordeal -- the stranded wait, the difficulty securing transportation, and the additional costs - was a direct consequence of Hertz providing a faulty vehicle and failing to offer any meaningful assistance when I called for help. 1 am therefore requesting the following: 1. Full refund of all Hertz rental charges: $557.75 2. Full reimbursement of my Uber fare to New Orleans: $262.74 Please see the attached documents in support of my claim: * Attachment 1: Uber fare receipt confirming the transportation costs incurred * Attachment 2: Hertz payment receipt confirming the charges paid at the drop-off branch I trust Hertz will take this matter seriously and respond within 14 business days. Should 1 not receive a satisfactory resolution, 1 will escalate this to the Better Business Bureau and pursue a chargeback through my credit card provider. Thank you for your attention to this matter. TF

    The manager here is uninformed and frankly very arrogant. She would not give eye contact or give a…read morecandid smile and her energy was very non-cooperative, like she was tired and didn't want to come to work today. I also noticed she was on her phone on instagram the whole time we interacted. I was surprised to learn that this person even was a manger. This is the only Hertz that rents Tesla and I was hoping to get one because that's the car I drive in my home state. When I handed my Cc and ID the manager mentioned that they do not accept out of state DL. Come on now I've lived in Houston for 20 years and I know for a fact that they rent cars to people who are not from Texas. This is discrimination, when a person behind the counter lies and says they don't rent cars people who don't have Texas DL and I feel this person should be reprimanded or penalized for refusing service based on her lack of education.

    Rented a replacement vehicle through insurance because my car was rear ended. When I dropped it…read moreback off (I was self pay with reimbursement) the agent was receiving an error, and deleted the insurance information before charging me. All I received by email was pictures of the vehicle. They never provided me a copy of the contract (I assumed it would be emailed). They also never returned my proof of insurance. Manager said they have no record of the contract and says it's on me to prove the rate with a contract she never provided me. Best case is they intentionally booked me into a higher rate than I actually placed a reservation for, without telling me the rate. In any case, I could have gotten a better deal myself at Enterprise without any corporate rate. At least they didn't call the cops on me and report the vehicle I returned was stolen, since that's a thing Hertz does (They paid $168 million for falsely reporting hundreds of customers who returned cars for car theft, resulting in arrests and jail time for entirely innocent people). If they can't even log in when cars are returned properly, don't trust them with anything. In addition, the car they rented me clearly had an exhaust system issue and idled incredibly rough and smelled vaguely of weed when I picked it up. Use the Enterprise on Bellaire Boulevard. They email you a copy of the contract, the cars are in better condition and they have a larger selection.
