The low rental rate, the ease of the rental, pick up and return.

Cons:

The car was not clean nor washed ahead of time. The attendance just took a wipe and did it while we were there. It was not a thorough cleaning as I would have liked. And it would have been nice to get a nice clean washed and vacuuumed car.

Fast service. Vehicle was very nice. The only suggestion I have is maybe extending the office hours to close at 6pm instead of 5pm as it would be beneficial to the customers that get off work at 5pm.

KAYAK

Pros:

The location was convenient for me.

Cons:

I was downgraded from the F class car I had reserved and paid for to a B class car without any reduction in the rental price. This was a three week rental. I was told that I could trade up at any Hertz location, free of charge, but that's a hassle. It's annoying that they didn't have any cars in the class I had reserved, and I would have preferred an upgrade (at no charge) or a downgrade with a reduction in price. Instead, I was offered the choice between an upgrade with a price increase or a downgrade with no decrease in price. This is a small rental operation at a dealership. I recommend finding a dedicated rental office for better service and selection.
