Ricky, Jun 2020

Pros:

Car was clean and ready for me

Cons:

at the time of reservation wasn't informed of extra charges, at the time of pick up I was told I needed to pay 140 is more, to rent the car. When I asked for an explanation on the time of drop off the person on the counter seemed annoyed and dismissed me as quick as she could since I was bothering her... won't ever use this company again.

It was really easy to get to the Hertz off-airport site via rideshare. The office was easy to find and the price I paid to be able to pick up and drop off at different airports was outstanding! I saved over $400 versus getting the car at the airport. I was in/out in less than 10 min. Super easy, thank you

I thought I was going to the airport for pickup and drop off but I wasn’t and they were extremely accommodating.

When I put in Airport code to search for rental. I expected the rental to be at the airport not offsite where I have to take taxi or shared ride to get to that location which add additional cost.

I was expecting my car to be at the airport because that's what I put in the search criteria. When I got there they informed me the Hertz location was actually 20+ miles away so I had to spend an additional $100 in cab fares. The airport Hertz said I could tell them I wanted to return the car at the airport and that they would reimburse my cab expenses. When I got to the other Hertz location I was told I had to return it there and they couldn't adjust my bill because it was pre-paid. The Hertz guy said the car had 5/8th of a tank of gas (which it did) and to return it with the same amount of gas. I was returning the car with 3/4th tank of gas until I got out the rental contract from the glove compartment to put it and keys in drop box (location was closed on Sunday) and I noticed that they indicated it was full when I got it. Rather than have them charge me $9.99/gallon I went ahead and spent another $15 to fill it up. I wrote a note on the paperwork saying I would dispute the rental charge with my credit card company if they don't refund me $15 to my MasterCard.
