They didn’t tell me before hand that I had to have an extra $300 so since I didn’t have it, they didn’t let me rent the car. Very rude and boisterous about it as well.

Cons:

Have me an upgrade due to the high volume of business they have been experiencing. That was awesome, but they also we're turning vehicles around so quickly and focusing on sanitizing them that they did not have time to wash the exterior. Did not matter to me, it was just the only silly little thing I can say that wasn't flawless.

The rental, although was advertised as St Louis airport, was actually a 30 minute ride away. The shuttle service didn't go there. We arrived to the airport location at 4:45 where we found all this out. Our location closed at 5 pm so we couldn't get there before closing. So we canceled our original which was $41/day and asked for their lowest priced which turned out to be $72/day. They said it was because we were walk-ins. We were not walk-ins as we'd booked 3 days ago. We left and got a Dollar car for $48.

The turn in experience was horrible. The store closed a few minutes early and then when we called hertz they said we couldn’t control when the store closes and when I asked if I could drop off at a different location they told me it would be $500 and if I turned it into the store it would be $300…because they closed early !?!?!? If this is not resolved I will never rent from hertz again. Probably the worst possible customer service from any car company ever.
