Sep 2016
Pros:
Very friendly service. We had rented an Economy and got a free upgrade. Our service person was extremely helpful. When returning the car, we were at the Secretary of State's office and running a little behind our drop off time. We called and talk to them and they were very understanding. He told us to bring it in when we were done as long as it wasn't past a certain time.Easirent

Feb 2018
Pros:
His attempt to make me happy.Cons:
No One at the desk when I went to pick up the car. I had to call the person who was suppose to be there. Then was told I couldn't get the car for an another hour. Why make reservation times if THEY don't honor them.2.0 Poor
Jan 2018
Cons:
Showed up at Hertz after a 25 mile drive to get to that location for a 9am reservation when they opened. They had ZERO cars available for at least 2 days. They were completely out of stock on cars that day and the next. Had to keep driving to find an Avis to rent from. I had a reservation for a car that didn’t exist.4.0 Mediocre
Apr 2017
Cons:
Arrived at the airport on time. No one at the desk for at least 20 min. 9:30pm so was in the process of canceling and switching to Avis when he finally showed up. He left the airport to get something to eat......when he knew the flight was arriving. Not a smart move.9.2 Wonderful

I order a car and they said I'll be getting a bigger car. I got a compact car very small8.4 Very good
Nov 2016
Pros:
AZO is a small airport, i.e. no shuttle needed which is good.Cons:
It was difficult to find the Hertz cars in the dark, so I had to go back to the rental office and a Hertz colleague showed me the position at the parking lot. Maybe it would be a good idea to have the Hertz signs higher up at the parking lot.Car rental locations in or near Battle Creek
