Jan 2021
Pros:
Easy quick pick up and drop off.Cons:
Everything else. Went through 3 different cars because of issues, that were issues hertz missed. When I called to try to get the new cars I was sent 30-40 minutes away and the correct cars were not available when I showed up. Both road side service and customer service would not call me back. This location then tried to say it was my fault because I called road side service and customer service general number (I was 10 hours away, and they were closed at the time) instead of calling them.5.2 Fair

May 2018
Pros:
The vehicle was clean. The desk attendant was very nice.Cons:
The vehicle did not have a back-up cam. We had to replace a fuze. The CD player did not work well. It skipped easily. The gas refill price is crazy. Of course we filled up before we dropped off the car.8.0 Very good
Nov 2017
Cons:
We reserved an economy car to fit 5 people and were upgraded to a fancy car (lower fuel economy) that only fit 4. To be fair, it was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, but we wanted what we had reserved. It was very complicated having 5 people with luggage with a car that fit only 4. Had to rely on local family's car to double up which we had wanted to avoid.3.6 Poor
Oct 2017
Pros:
Although different from the email confirmation, the car we received was perfect for our road trip. It was clean and comfortable.Cons:
The customer service rep at the counter at the Clayton location, Josh, made what should have been an easy transaction horribly uncomfortable, confusing and frustrating. There were additional charges added that I was unaware of until Josh rudely made them known. Thank goodness he wasn’t there when we dropped the vehicle off and we had a much better drop off experience.Budget

Pros:
Initially the vehicle was great but the maintenance and oil change light came on.Cons:
Vehicle maintenance been up to date, I tried to contact roadside assistance and was on hold for a half hour. I got different answers from everyone I talked to.6.0 Okay
Apr 2021
Cons:
When I picked up my car it had a terrible body odor. It smelled like a high school locker room, and no matter what I did, the smell persisted—it was deep within the linen of the car seats. Opening windows in an attempt to air the car out did nothing. I bought febreeze and sprayed the upholstery of the entire car TWICE. I even bought fragrance sticks to put in the air vents. Nothing worked, and after having the car for almost a week, the smell was still there when I returned it. Also, when I got the car it wasn’t at a full tank. I was given a rental that only had 1/4 tank of gas in it.8.0 Very good

Ryan and Jake helped me upgrade to an SUV because the sedan I originally picked up kept getting stuck in the snow. We got a few feet of snow the night before.Cons:
