Book Hertz hire cars in Portland

• What is the best place to pick up my car rental in Portland?

  There is no doubt that if you are flying to Portland and traveling through the Portland International Airport (PDX), you are going to find that this is a very convenient place to pick up your car rental. The airport has a car rental location that is just adjacent to the southern end of the terminal building and is just a short walk from the terminal. For travelers already in the downtown Portland area who want to rent a car without heading back to the airport, there is a Hertz location on SW. Pine Street that is very convenient for these travelers.

• What are some of the benefits and advantages to using Hertz to rent a car?

No employees was available when I called for two days. Never returned voicemail. Car description was incorrect in multiple ways making it difficult to find the car. No employee onsite in garage to assist. Car was thick with cigarette smoke and could not be driven for 2/3 of the rental time because it needed to air out. The weather was 30 degrees so driving with windows all down was not an option. I would appreciate a refund and if possible a future credit to have a different experience with Hertz as I could never say anything good about them or this entire experience.Reviewed 12 Feb 2025

I had reserved an suv, and the agent said that at no point during that day was there an suv available at his site. The car they gave me was clean inside, but the outside had scratches all over, and dings and other marks as well.Reviewed 24 Oct 2024

The system allowed a booking for a pickup after-hours. In the 21st century with all the hi-tech?! It was a mess to cancel, had to call multiple times! Had to rebook last minute at premium rate! Will never again book thru Expedia / Kayak!Reviewed 22 Oct 2024

Sent me a text saying they over booked and don’t have cars the day after I had already booked and paid online . They did not refund me I had to called and cancel and refund me . When I called Hertz to cancel they said they did , turns out they didn’t . I had to call Expedia so they can do my refund a whole week later .Reviewed 14 Oct 2024

They hide the fine print when you select the manger special deal and then try to give you an electric car I didn’t reserve a car days in advance for them to tell me all they had was electric vehicles for that reservation and I had to upgrade to get a gas car which I was charged and upgrade fee just found it ridiculous that I made a reservation and was pawned off with this electric car forcing me to upgrade as my trip was not drivable with a electric car.Reviewed 24 Sept 2024

You guys at Kayak, Expedia and Hertz screwed up big time. While you showed us a confirmed reservation, upon arriving at the rental facility, Hertz staff informed us that they didn’t have any vehicles available for our rental and that Expedia and Kayak causes this issue frequently for them. We had a day planned in Portland but due to lack of rental car, we couldn’t do anything around town.Reviewed 7 Jul 2024

The care was banged up with dents and damage on all sides. The tire pressure warning was persistent no matter how much air I put in.. only to the recommended PSI. The car smelled like cigarettes and had burn holes in the driver seat. The rims were scrapped up very badly as well and tires had big chunks of rubber missing and or flapping around. The car was disgusting.Reviewed 2 Jul 2024

I searched for Portland airport and I was given a rental car 20 min off site from the airport, this caused massive problems. With getting it and dropping off. The customer service from hertz was THE WORST. I was struggling 3 or more times to call for various issues, it took more than 30 min plus to get a person on the phone each time and each time they were not helpful. My plane was delayed through no fault of my own obviously and they almost didn’t hold my rental agreement. When I asked to move the place of return (again another 30 min on hold ) I was going to be charged another $160. So even tho I got a deal through a third party, getting to and from cost me another $100 in Uber fees. Ridiculous and I have never used hertz and I won’t againReviewed 20 Jun 2024
