Pros:

The overall process was excellent. Staff, Company and company to customer was excellent.

Cons:

Not sure what features were available in Jeep model. - We were 7000+ feet on climb which our SUV handled well. When it came to steep decline (coming down the mountain), the button to turn on decline going 5 mph feature was disabled. My concern on steep decline from 7000+ feet was a concern if I would burn the braking system. Not sure if this is a feature that needs to be purchased, but at the same time there was a risk. Overall: Great SUV and would recommend to others.

Pros:

The car was nice and had no issues

Cons:

Pick up took an hour. Staff member was kind but very slow and easily distracted and then we had to wait for car to be fully cleaned. After renting I called to try to adjust reservation and was told it couldn’t be adjusted at all so I had to change plans even though hertz states it can be changed.

Pickup was fine, but there was a huge mixup when I returned the car. I was charged an extra $300 for returning the vehicle to a different location even though it was the exact same place and the same desk agent.

The vehicle was stolen while I was packing. I was double charged by Hertz they charged me for the full weeks rental and insurance. I was only supposed to be charged 1 day of insurance coverage because the theft occurred same day as rental. so far I have paid twice for the weeks rental and a week of insurance.

Pros:

Nice check in Clerk though very busy. I got a great price and was lucky to get an upgrade to a brand new Volkswagen. Amazing price from Amazon and Avis. The clerk says Avis has their own insurance for $11 which would be easier if you had a problem because they will say they take care of instead of going through a third-party

Pros:

I had the available to have a car but that is it.

Cons:

The care rented was a Truck that was burning oil it smelled horrible the tires were old. As we did the drop off we had to go up stairs because we rented the car from Concord with a drop off at SFO airport paperwork was not done correctly for that and I paid way too much money for this car I am extremely disappointed. Plus I took the $30 insurance coverage. I actually drove to San Fran parked the car at my son's and took uber around because the smell was bad. I am a travel agent from OKT --33644332 I would appreciate some type of compinsation in this matter .Plus the fact that your counter help seem some what displaced in providing information. Thank you kindly.

It's not customer friendly at all. Why do I HAVE TO GO to the same outlet for renewal ? Why can't I use two credit cards to pay? Why don't you accept a debit card, when you have used a credit card in the past? There are too many rules that are not customer friendly and make a renewal difficult and cumbersome. And the representative lady there wasn't helpful either. Throwing rule books at a customers face is not service.

This place cx’d my reservation without contacting me. Then I asked the supervisor Lissette at the Concord Ca location for her supervisor bc she couldn’t answer the questions I needed and she redirected me to the customer service center. I didn’t ask for that department. I asked for your supervisor. Totally disgusted with budget and will never again in life rent from them and Yall are about to go viral when I put it on my multiple platforms.
