7.6 Good
Oct 2019
Pros:
Drop off was relatively easyCons:
I was made to pull my car out of the lot, which was located behind several other cars. I had to maneuver my car on the edge of a 10 foot drop into a ditch located directly next to the lot. I kid you not when i tell you i was inches away from either grinding the car against a chain link fence or having it tip into the ditch. The hertz dealer should have pulled my car around for me to prevent me from having to possibly incur damage to the car just because the location is poorly laid out in a gravel lot next to a ditch.7.6 Good

Mar 2018
Cons:
Hertz said the drop off location had a drop off lock box for after hours returns. This was not true. Per instructions from Hertz I had to park the car and lock the keys inside for the drop off. They told me it was my responsibility and I should expect a charge from the drop off location for the cost of opening the car to get the keys.Car rental locations in or near Somerset
