Downers Grove Car Rentals

Cons: When I picked up the car, it was in a seedy location on a lot that was shared with uhaul. my rental was the only budget rental on the lot. The attendant looked like she just woke up in the back, and didn't do a walkthrough to check for damage (and there was a lot!), the car was filthy inside and out and high mileage. There was tobacco and trash inside the car, It smelled horrible inside, and the rental agreement from the previous renter was on the passenger seat. The rental was in chicago area but for some reason the license plate said Florida. It felt like the car was someone's personal car that they just decided to rent out. Also, the price of the rental i found out later was much more than other comparable car rental places in the area. upon returning the car, it was like a cattle call, they didn't say one word just gave me a receipt and walked away. I didn't get a chance to explain how bad the experience was. But I doubt they care.

Cons: The office is shabby. Not professional. Not welcoming. I was left alone in the lobby endlessly while the lady who's supposed to provide service was on her cell phone in her office. I just couldn't wait any longer. This was a waste of my time.

Cons: That i absolutely got what i paid! This car smelles like something died in it! It was covered in stains! It didn't even have cruise contol or a decent radio.

Cons: Only one person working the location. Took over an hour to rent and over 30 min to drop off. The car was nasty so I had to clean it before we even used it. During out vacation the car locked us out in a parking lot when it was over 100 degrees. Took about 4 hours before finally a tow truck driver broke into the car. He even said he has never heard of the key also not working. I should say we had the key fab. So when we took the key out and put it in the door it also didn't work. We have tried calling the regional manager of Downers Grove and he won't call us back. When we talked to him the second time he forgot who we were. I would never rent from this company again. Such poor service for using hertz the first time.
