10.0 Wonderful
We picked up the vehicle within 15 -20 minutes after arriving at the sales desk. The counter person was polite and straight forward. We did not purchase additional upgrade, pre-paid gas or insurance. The only draw-back was the full size vehicle we wanted only available in one model and the three available were all black color with black interior. We were in Maui and wishing to have a lighter color car to drive in because of the heat. This was the only issue. So we were very satisfied.

2.0 Poor
First, understaffing in order to sell an add-on “upgrade” for quicker pickup is unacceptable. Then the clerk could not assign me a car because of multiple systems (dollar, thrifty, hertz). Then, even after we clearly discussed my lack of interest in ALL of the unnecessary add-ons he added them back in the third time he tried to assign a car. Then even though he pushed all the buttons on my phone, he claimed it was me who made the choices. He gave me attitude when i found the extra $1450 due at pick up unacceptable!!! Do they get bonuses on that? , he then told me the wrong floor to pick up the car sending me across traffic to get to the area. And finally, he sent me to a space that had no car. I dragged three bags full of tools this way! UNACCEPTABLE. the only save was that the guy at the actual hertz desk helped me out so i did not have to drag it all back access traffic. But since it is the same company, i am unlikely to use again and will share. I am disgusted!

I was a disappointed with the price. When I got all the information I have one price and when I returned the car, it is a completely different price. I’ve tried discussed with the agent how much will be the total. I didn’t have time to discuss that because I have to make it to my flight.

Had one way rental atl to mia for 12:30 am pickup. Was able to get an earlier connecting flight. Called them to change pickup to 4 hours earlier. They sad they couldn’t, no cars. Absolute nonsense. They said they could transfer me to their “sister company,” Budget, who could provide a car. The experience with Budget was a complete disaster.

2.0 Poor
i request few day before some information about the deposit, they told me in the cornavin agence it was 750 chf. but at the pickup location this number magically increased to 3000. The only way to reduce this oversized amount was to subscribe a very limited and expensive insurance at the pick up point. I had to cancel my booking due to this deposit amount, since it was beyond my card limit amount and i found another rental solution. I find this amount excessive for an economy car rental, i would have appreciated to receive this information in advance.
