Great vehicle at a fairly reasonable price. Getting the vehicle wasn’t bad. Dropping it off was difficult. It was an urban location inside a parking garage. Signage was poor. Not enough designated spaces were available. Finally had to park in a non- designated spot after repeatedly circling, hoping something would open up.

They ran out of cars! And didn’t tell anyone so people waiting in line for hours.

Pros:

The car was comfortable .

Cons:

The pickup was an absolute nightmare at dc location. Not enough people working, huge lines, line waits, they didn’t have enough cars. They also marked my tank as being full when it was not. I was also charged an additional $20 for some unexplainable reason that I have to now spend time looking into. Never again.

Cons:

The dropping off of the car was a little frustrating.

Booked the car online, when it came to pick it up, got a text 5 mins before arriving saying that car could not be reserved for the reservation. A complete waste of time and effort. Had to drive 50 mins back home without the rental.

Hertz said they were short on cars when I arrived at the appointed time (after they sent me a confirmation that my car was ready) but they would text me when it was ready. I never heard from them again.

We got there at the scheduled time and they did not have any cars! over 20 people waiting in line for their reservations and no cars. They shouldn't take a reservation if they don't have a car to rent.

Great service! Friendly staff! Gave me a free upgrade since there was going to be a snow storm and they wanted me to stay safe!

Pros:

I had to wait an hour outside after arriving on time for my pickup. Once I was inside the agent was awful: rude, unaccommodating, eager to stick me with a pickup truck. What is the point of reserving a particular kind of car if I'm just given what's available after the small car I needed and requested is nowhere to be found, nor, as I was told, is a particular kind of car even guaranteed? I drove the SUV I was given as little as possible while I had it because it was nearly impossible to park it in the city.

Cons:

Customer service, wait time, availability, respecting the reservation that i had made.
