Jan 2020
Pros:
The customer service rep was really professional, nice, and helpful. The car that I received was as expected and the process for pick-up/drop-off went very smoothly. And again, the Hertz rep was extremely helpful.Cons:
The Hertz Car Rental company is inside of the Byer Toyota Sales & Service Building. There was no indication that let us know that it was in with Byers so we circled the building and finally called to see where in the world they were. Once we arrived at the car dealership, there is no sign to indicate that the Hertz counter is inside the car dealership. Once you go inside, there is no sign except for a super small sign that is not at eye level or easy to see. What could be better? A description in the instructions/receipt/confirmation/any where that the Hertz counter is INSIDE of the Byers Toyota car dealership. And a sign on the building to let you know it's in there too. It's the only reason, I gave a 4 star rating instead of a 5. It's an easy solution to 5 star ratings.7.2 Good
Jan 2017
Pros:
nice car, good condition and staff for pick up and drop off was excellentCons:
NO windshield liquid which made the drive home dangerous. It started snowing and there was lots of dirt on the windshield, and because the liquid was not full I had to pull over every 1/2 hour and wipe it by hand.8.4 Very good
