They surprised me with several uexpected charges, which brought their price up to what a better company wouldhave charged. The car had been in a small fender bender and whas not the SUV that I initially reserved. It had over 33,000 miles on it and had never had the cabin filter replaced. I bought a cabin filter myself to keep from etting sick from breathing spores through the air conditioner. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

The price was good and the transportation to and from the airport. The service onsite was very slow (only 1 employee). Drop off could have been more courteous also.

They did not even have the size rental we requested although we set up almost a month in advance. Very unfriendly and non-apologetic and unhelpful about our other ways to get another rental.

The requirement to provide my airline record locator is a serious privacy and info security risk. And was not mentioned in any documentation I received prior to or after making the booking.

Nice people and car, but not very businesslike. Would have liked a printed receipt before I left. I still don't have a receipt >24 hours later, even via email, I turned the keys in to the man on duty at 4:30 yesterday and someone called me today to ask where the keys were.

I made a reservation. They called to cancel it and said they didn't know why the computer allowed me to make a reservation. Sounds like an internal problem that a customer does not need to know about. Will avoid Hertz. They also tend to have people arrested because Hertz's computer system tells them a car is stolen when it's been returned and paid for. Bad business Hertz. You should do better.

I booked through Expedia and wasn't able to put in our AAA membership and a request for second driver without upcharge. Pickup in Jacksonville was fine. Drop off in Ft. Lauderdale was a little trickier, but seamless.
