Pros:

The Hertz Salem office staff were super friendly. Very nice people even though they were very busy at the time of pick up.

Cons:

To save time, the car could have been fueled ahead of my scheduled pick up time, and the windshield washer fluid could have been filled. I had to add a half gallon of washer fluid for my trip.
