2.0 MediocreMar 9 2021
Pros: The line to pick up was very long. Then the only card I had was my debit cards. Even though I had a photo of my Mastercard they said they could not use it so I did not get to rent a car. Budget will take debit cards so I thought I would use Budget again, They were booked, which is why my son rented a car for me at Thrifty online using his card. Live and learn.Cons: The pick up line at the airport was very long. Thrifty could take debit cards,
8.0 ExcellentFeb 20 2021

9.2 ExcellentOct 15 2020

10.0 ExcellentJun 13 2020
Cons: Not one thing - it was an excellent experience all the way around! Thank you!
8.8 ExcellentDec 18 2019
Cons: Car had high mileage and a lot of dings and scratches. But was in good mechanical condition.
7.6 GoodNov 18 2019
Pros: The car.Cons: The attendant at the pickup site was very helpful within his limitations. He spent an inordinate amount of time calling the back office(from what I believe to be his personal cell phone) to get a confirmation code. The process took close to half an hour. My reservation was prepaid with the tax portion being the only residual so I do not recognize the need for that much time being taken to process this transaction. It seemed that there was no real advance preparation of the rental prior to my arrival. I do not fault the attendant, I fault the back office support. I expected better service.

Pros: ...Cons: ...
3.2 MediocreAug 13 2019
Cons: The customer service ,when I asked for someone to check the car before I left the property and after the return they just said go ahead! As a disabled person with bronchitis I also had the car detailed myself cost me $24 dollars I have pictures and receipt to prove they tried to charge me $300!
3.6 MediocreJul 4 2019
Pros: Nothing about it. Would never rent from them again or use Kayak!Cons: Being upfront and honest about your pricing and not changing it and adding another $150 the price I got quoted for.
6.0 GoodJun 28 2019
Pros: No-hassle pick-up; easy drop-off.Cons: The car itself. I thought it would have been better.

Pros: The woman who worked with me at the counter could not have been nicer. The car was literally right around the corner and ready to goCons: It took forever to get to the car rental counter at Newark! Like 30+ minutes
8.0 ExcellentSep 30 2019
Pros: Easy drop-off, nice carCons: Not the friendliest staff at pick-up or drop-off, tires needed air
8.0 ExcellentSep 16 2019
Pros: Yes. Staff was friendly and drop off was easy.Cons: It was pretty good
2.8 MediocreSep 9 2019
Pros: I was able to get a car same dayCons: Just about everything. First car had rock damage to the windshield and I was asked to sign off on the existing damage to the car prior to inspecting. The entire facility is trashy and dirty. The worst part is the EZpass charge. Because of the EZpass charge alone, I will not rent from advantage again
5.6 OkaySep 3 2019
Cons: Old car 50k miles with strange smell
5.2 OkayAug 27 2019
Pros: Pick up was easy enough though it appeared the car hadn't been washed and there was what seemed to be melted chocolate on the passenger's seat which we didn't know until my husband noticed brown spots on the back of several shirts we wore during the trip.Cons: The drop-off experience was miserable. The drop-off lanes were completely full so there was nowhere to actually return the car. There was no Advantage attendant offering directions or instructions. And there was nowhere to leave my key so I could easily return the car and head to the terminal
6.4 GoodAug 22 2019
Pros: Long lines and you could see that many people in line had issues of some type that held the line up and the staff was frustratedCons: More people at the desk
2.0 MediocreJul 29 2019
Cons: Inspite of paying in advance and reserving a car. They were sold out and did not have a car for me. I had to make my own arrangements at 1 am and got an expensive rental last minute from other company.
10.0 ExcellentJul 15 2019
Pros: they were very helpful and for a change, was a very good experience.Cons: the only thing I find irritating lately is, that there is not enough advice and information given about tolls, and it seems that the only option is to hire an ex-pass, but it does not seem right, I am sure there must be a sight which you can look up if you are due to pay any toll ? Any advice ?

5.2 OkayMar 19 2019
Pros: The car was in good shapeCons: Overall customer service. The entire staff just didn’t care.

The man who did the walk-around didn’t offer to help with baggage or go over any features, benefits of the vehicle. overall, poor
5.2 OkayMar 12 2019
Cons: The outside of the car was not clean
3.2 MediocreMar 12 2019
Pros: Drop off was super easyCons: Called a month ahead of trip and asked if debit cards are accepted. Was informed that they would accept a debit card but a higher deposit is required. No problem there, but upon arrival was then told I'd be charged an extra $30 per day on top of the higher deposit for the daily damage waiver insur.
5.6 OkayMar 6 2019
Cons: Rental car company said they did not have my reservation. I gave them my confirmation number and they said they had no record of it.
2.0 MediocreFeb 19 2019
Cons: I rented a car in advance and the rental company at the airport closed earlier than their stated closing time and I missed the rental. So I had to rent another car and lost the $200 because it’s non refundable due to 3rd party rental. I will rent directly from the rental company from now on.
2.0 MediocreFeb 18 2019
Pros: There was nothing pleasant about my experience with this rental service. Choose another.Cons: The staff (very rude) had given away my reservation after waiting at the airport for 45 mins for the shuttle. After pleading my case, I was given a limited amount of miles that I was able to drive. The hour listed online are wrong.
2.0 MediocreJan 24 2019
Pros: Staff was very unfriendly. When I tried to call in, I got the recorded information and held for live contact to send shuttle, and was never answered. Tried to use the shuttle, driver said they were closed. He called on the radio and got someone, who did nothing. It was 7:30, closing was 10:30.Cons: They did nothing, so ANYTHING would have been better. Any car would have been better. I will never use them for anything ever again.
10.0 ExcellentJan 6 2019
Cons: Nothing at all
3.6 MediocreNov 17 2018
Hidden feesPros: The car was clean, modern and ran in good shape.Cons: They need to be upfront and transparent with their charges. I felt like was being slammed with fees. Forced to buy insurance when my personal insurance company covers my rental. Felt slammed when they required a $300 deposit! They had a dumb rule about using debit cards and credit cards.

Pros: Their customer service was really very good. Unfortunately they had no cars to honour the booking. They did try to help and we're very willing to do so. But there were no cars.Cons: Have more cars.
8.8 ExcellentNov 2 2019

8.4 ExcellentOct 26 2019
Pros: Staff at Newark was excellent. Beautiful van and nice ride.Cons: The price for less than 24 hours was quite pricey.
9.6 ExcellentOct 21 2019
Pros: Pick up and drop off were both super easy. Everything went smoothly. No complaints.Cons: I always like a cheaper deal, but this was the cheapest option i could find
9.6 ExcellentAug 20 2019
Pros: The customer service was excellent I really appreciated the help given to me by your employee HAAS.
4.8 OkayAug 18 2019
Pros: Pick-up counter was a nightmare-- we waitied 30 minutes. They were woefully understaffed, and all but one of the staff was ridiculously slow. The location is also very difficult to access when returning the car. It's like some kind of google map exercise to see if you can actually find the drop-offCons: More staff, or at least one that felt some sense of urgency. Unfortunately, the location issue is a bigger issue with Newark Airport.

Pros: Top service with friendly and helpful people.
5.2 OkayJul 17 2017
Pros: Costume service was ok.Cons: Not being able to make changes on my booking a few hours after booking and the vehicle giving me some problems with a tire that kept loosing air.
4.0 OkayJul 13 2017
Cons: La atención en Hertz fue muy mala, ellos no tenían la información de la reserva.
5.2 OkayJul 3 2017
Pros: The car itself was fine, the pickup process was fine, the reps were friendly enough.Cons: Because it was Sunday for car dropoff, I used the key-drop to return the car/keys. BUT, when I closed the key-drop drawer, the lock on the key-return box fell off (was never properly locked) and the whole door fell open, exposing all of the keys that had been dropped off. If an unscrupulous person got access to all the keys, they could have taken any vehicle, etc. Of course, I took pictures to document this situation.

2.0 MediocreJun 24 2019
Cons: For starters, on the day of pick up the woman at the reservation counter called and ask me if I can pick up the car earlier than my reserved time because she wanted to go home early. When I picked up the car she wanted to charge me for miles
4.4 OkayFeb 22 2019
Pros: Easy to get to, shuttle driver was really nice. Not many people there so easy in and out.Cons: They took a deposit and it was not returned within a week, which is when I am writing this review. Spoke on the phone with them yesterday, was told they would refund money that day, but not done. An unprofessional operation - there was no receipt given at return.
3.6 MediocreJul 28 2018
You get what you pay for...Pros: Good on gas. Remember, Jersey has gas station attendants. You do not pump your own gas.Cons: 2012 vehicle. Bubble on front right tire. Windshield wiper smacking right pilar. Many nicks and dings over the entire car which, as it turns out, blended in with most vehicles in Jersey... Only after you make to reservation you find out where the rental location is. Take the train to the "hotel pickup". Don't go to the "Rental Car" station. READ THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY!
8.0 ExcellentJul 13 2018
Barebones AffairPros: Got in and got out. Was cheap. Drop-off was simple.Cons: Finding the pick-up location was a huge hassle. It's tucked under a parking garage next to a hotel. Can't see the signage from the street.
2.0 MediocreMar 27 2018
terrible servicePros: the car was very old and was malfunctioning. I could barely drive up-hill as the engine was stalling. I had difficulty passing other cars as I couldn't accelerate due to engine problems, I guess? This car should have not been in service as it wasn't safe for the driver or for the passing traffic. Additionally, Ace charged me $350 on my credit card even though I prepaid for the rental. I never got a receipt for the charge and I'm disputing it with my credit card. Ace office was old and smelly, the employees were smoking cigarettes in the office. Terrible experience for a car rental. I will never use ACE again
2.0 MediocreNov 15 2017
Cons: They tried to charge me for scratches on the car that I told them were there before taking the vehicle. They sent me off with only half a tank of gas while charging me for a full tank.
2.0 MediocreJul 19 2017
Cons: not even 15 minuets after picking up the van we got stop by the cops. the cops took away the van for expire registration. we could not believe it .we left Ace a message as soon as it happen. they didn't get back to us after 10 am the next day by that time we had to cancel the trip. we are hoping they are going to refund us the money. not happy at all.
2.0 MediocreJul 17 2017
Poorly done both Ace and KayakCons: We made a car reservation through Kayak with Ace for a pick up in the 7 pm hour. Upon arrival, we found the office closed at 630 pm. This cost us a great deal of extra money as we needed to make other arrangements last minute. Very poorly done both Ace and Kayak! This was near the Newark Airport, we travel a great deal and expect rental companies to be open when we have a reservation.
8.0 ExcellentMar 24 2017
Pros: Service from Lynn and Barbara. Great price.Cons: Banged up car, squeeky brakes, jerky transmission.
