They couldn't check my car in (through no fault of theirs) because they had to call the Salt Lake branch I rented from, and of course they didn't answer the phone.

Cons:
Josh at Hertz was a total professional, from check out, to extending our rental because our work truck is getting the motor rebuilt and is not going to be completed for another week. We have been so stressed over the financial loss and worried about not being able to complete jobs without a work truck. However, Josh at Hertz made the process super easy...thank you so very much...Hertz has earned our business and repeat business.4.4 Mediocre
