The choice of your car type will depend on whether you will be traveling solo or as a group, the cargo volume, and the places you intend to visit. For instance, if you are traveling in a group of more than five friends, family members, or colleagues, then booking an SUV or a minivan becomes the viable option over an economy or compact car. This is down to increased capacity that would accommodate you and your friends. If you’re to travel solo, a compact and an economy car become the best options. It's relatively smaller size allows you to squeeze in the limited parking lots and drive through narrow alleys and congested streets.

The "full-size SUV" was more mid-size than full-size. We didn't have any trunk space and then the car's maintenance required sign popped up on the first day we had the car. The Hertz employee said the car had Blind-Spot Monitoring - it did NOT.5.2 Fair

Dec 2018
Pros:
The only reason I booked with them was because of their price.Cons:
But I guess you get what you pay for. When I first booked the car online nowhere did it say of you are in-state you have to have a credit card or that you have limited mileage. How is this fair when if I was from out of town I got unlimited miles and could use a debit card for the 200 deposit??? Getting to the place is where they tell you all of that. Since I dont have a credit card I waisted money on a reservation with them. They wouldn't let me add another driver to the policy since the reservation was done online (yet online...it's not an option to add another driver). I couldn't use someone's else's credit card with the same last name as me (and who was right there with me to give consent for the use of their card) yet at other car rental companies I have done that before in the past. I needed a car and theirs was cheaper so I ended up getting another reservation with them in someone else's name. With this reservation (although it was also done online) I could now all of a sudden and an additional driver to it. They said when we turn the car back in, any occurred charges could be paid for with another card. When we brought the car back, they lied and said they wouldn't charge us for an additional driver however, they did anyways placing that charge on a credit card that no charge should have been made to. I had absolutely no problem paying for the additional driver, however it would have been done with a debit card so don't lie to me about where it's getting charged to not mess up people's credit status.7.6 Good
