How can I find car rentals near me in Central Business District?
We had a prepaid, confirmed car rented. They did not have a car for us. They refused to provide us compensation or another car. Very little in the way of explanation, and no apology. They didn’t even want to give us a refund on the spot. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Put our entire vacation in jeopardy. Never again.
The car was clearly a former Uber with the permit and "this ride might be recorded" stickers. Something oily was sprayed on the inside of the windshield making it very hard to see and when I tried to clean it it got streaky and worse- I used Windex and then a kitchen cleaner and it was still difficult to see through the streaks to the point where it was unsafe. The car also had paint pen writing on the rear drivers side window which I had to scrape off. The interior smelled like someone tried really hard to cover up stale smoke.

Supplier choice
Their team were understaffed, under supplied and crabby at pickup. There was a noticeable deficit of “normal” cars, and they were often trying to convince people who had booked economy to take a mini van. On return I needed to adjust by 30 minutes to accommodate flex in a travel schedule, and their phone staff were dismissive and rude. They charged me a silly fee, despite the fact that when I arrived, the location was CLOSED, so it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. I will NOT be using Hertz again.

I don’t like that hertz said they would rent a car to me with a pick up time of 12:00pm even though they close at 12:00pm on Saturdays and refuse to service anyone who comes after noon. YES, I was a few minutes late to pick up my car that I reserved for pickup up at 12pm but WHY would they even let me pick a check in time that was the same as when they stop working??? Why not set the latest pick up time 30 minutes before closing????? Why hertz??? 🙁
Didn’t get the car I requested (was relying on AWD since I had to go over a few mountain passes). They were short staffed so I elected not to have it cleaned. To make up for that they said they’d mark the gas tank as empty so I wouldn’t have to return full, which the receiving office didn’t honor. (They said someone with Enterprise would call to straighten that out since they really want satisfied customers. They didn’t call). I bought the extra insurance for three days but didn’t get refunded a portion since I brought it back a day early. All around not so great.
I liked driving the Subaru. drop off was easy peasy.

The staff in Seattle (pick up location) didn’t honor the reservation. We book a bmw suv, but he was going to give me a 4 doors sedan, a much smaller car. His excuse was that they didn’t have the suv I booked. He said I either get a smaller car or he would cancel my reservation. I asked him if I could talk to his manager but he was rude and waked away. He walked back 5 minutes later and said he checked but there was still no suv. He sternly said if I didn’t like the smaller car, he would cancel my reservation and stated I had no other options. I once again said if he didn’t give me the suv I booked I would report him to kayak since he wouldn’t let me talk to his manager. He then realized I wouldn’t give in so he finally gave me the suv I booked. His excuse was that the car wasn’t available earlier. However, he also gave me the option earlier if I wanted the suv, I would have to pay more. The car was obviously there the entire time but he didn’t want to honor my reservation. It was the worse experience I ever had with a rental car company. I couldn’t pick up the car until 45 minutes later than my reservation
