Upon arriving at the Houston airport, it took over an hour to get the rental car. We had rented the car to drive to the Austin airport due to a long layover and ultimately with how long it took budget to check us in and give us a car. Our original flight beat us back to the Austin airport completely waste of time and money would not recommend.

I booked Hertz on Kayak under the impression there was free cancellation. Expedia swooped the reservation and when I went to cancel 48 hours prior the charged me $156. I call total BS. Please look into it. You obviously have the reservation details as you asked me to rate the service.

Despite getting there 5 minutes before opening time, i was made to wait about 10 minutes after opening only to be told that they did not have any cars for me. I am a Hertz Gold Rewards member. They were fully overbooked (15 reservations vs 4 cars) and I was told that I was bottom of the priority list as I was the last person to book a car. First time I have experienced something like this when renting a car (anywhere in the world !)

This is honestly the easiest best rental car experience I’ve ever had. It was quick to check in/pick up and even easier to drop off. What I really liked was the fact that I got to literally just go pick a car on my own, not be told which car I’m getting. It felt cool to walk down an Isle of cars and be able to get into whichever one I like!

New Jeep Compass had the new car smell. Clean and easy pickup and drop off. The trunk was pretty small but we were able to work it out. I was surprised to have a$300 deposit taken on top of the $500 rental fee. I’m waiting on the deposit return now. I just turned in the car yesterday.

Everything went great until it came time to drop the car off in Leesville. The drop off location had one employee working. When I arrived, there were 7 people ahead of me already waiting. She did the best she could, and did it with a smile on her face, but it took nearly 45 minutes for her just to be able to get to me, for a drop off that took less than 10 seconds to do. To staff this place with 1 person, alone, is absolutely absurd and laughable.

The drop off location on the contract was not the right place, and when I called customer service to fix the problem, they said that the Houston branch imputed my wrong birthday, so they couldn’t modify my reservation for the correct drop off location. I ended up taking it to Galveston (my original drop off) and they kindly took the rental in, and even offered me a ride to the cruise terminal. I am impressed, and great full for the Galveston branch.
