Pros:
Tiffany was very wonderful. I enjoyed my time with her.10.0 Wonderful
Sep 2020
Pros:
The didn’t have the car reserved. So instantly go a upgrade, the car was perfect for my drive to San Francisco. And looking back I don’t think I would of nearly enjoyed as much with the original car I picked. While doing the vehicle inspection I did not notice the car had a nail in the front passenger tire luckily it did not pop on my trip I noticed it took it to an enterprise unfortunately they did not have a car nearly as nice as the one I was driving so they preferred that I take it to a qualified tire repair shop and have them bill enterprise. They were very nice and didn’t bill me the entire day. And it took maybe 4 hours I had the car by 4 pm.Cons:
The car had 15% oil life and I noticed it probably halfway through California so completely pointless to stop and get an oil change I just drove it until it hit zero and luckily that was about 20 minutes outside of LA on the way back home. Not a big deal when you deal with as many cars as they do.6.0 Okay

Jan 2017
Pros:
I liked the ease of picking up the car closer than where I had originally booked the rental. The Laguna Beach Enterprise agent was able to cancel the original booking and provide a car where I was staying.Cons:
With the booking from Kayak I added insurance and while the original booking was cancelled, the charge for insurance has now showed up on my credit card. I will have to dispute this but just got back today. I hope this process will be easy.10.0 Wonderful

Oct 2020
Pros:
The car was clean and comfortable.Cons:
The service could not have been worse. We waited over an hour before we had someone finally pick up the phone and send an airport van. On our return flight, we turned our car in at the appointed 4:00 time to find a note on the desk that said “please place the keys in the Dropbox. We had expected to get a ride to the airport, but that was not to be. We walked 20 minutes or so to the airport and barely made our flight. The communication with your renters needs some work.3.6 Poor
Feb 2020
Pros:
Nothing. Very unprofessional.Cons:
Sat and waited for an hour at the airport and the shuttle never showed up. Called 3 times, never answered. Took a $10 Uber to the office, and two young unprofessional girls were there. “I was at lunch”. After we took the car and got to the hotel, they call us and told us they left keys in our car so they came and met us and switched us cars. What a joke. The replacement car was a crappy, smoke smelling Kia Soul, nothing like the commercial with the hamsters. I had never seen a rental car in such bad condition.2.0 Poor
Jan 2020
Pros:
Typically it is the lowest. For a reason. Even then I would not recommend renting from here.Cons:
The staff is untrained, unprofessional and many give you the attitude that they will probably steal your information. The prove of having insurance. In mist car rental agencies you just tell them the name is the insurance here you have to have a policy # and fill it out. Or they fir e you to buy insurance! Wtf!!! I’m getting the impression they are hiring the bottom feeders of tre employees with fishy background. All care more in their cell phone than try to help you to rent and leave the facility. I had a reservation d as Nd had to rebook at the car agency nearby. What a completely ware of time.2.8 Poor

Cons:
I was given wrong information when I called the budget hotline or customer service line. I was told I can use a debit card because I am over 25 and didn't need a credit card. When I got there first of all they had no cars at all... this was before I knew I could not use my debit card. They said they had 2 cars left.... a pathfinder and jeep compass. The people next to me just rented the pathfinder and then was informed the compass was not even on the lot. The lady was super rude!!!!! I rented a small size car and asked her since there are none here can you call another rental place to see if they have any. Was told it is to close to closing time. The overall experience was AWFUL!!!!!!!! the customer service was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did not leave with a car. I told the lady I have no problem getting a credit card..... again left without a car!!! It was overall a HORRIBLE experience..... I do not take this out on Budget in general but the place that is renting your cars..... needs to be checked out!!!!!Hertz

Dec 2018
Cons:
I reserved a full-size car at a local location. I called the location about an hour later to let them know I would be about and hour later than the reservation time to pick up the car. I was told they didn’t have any full-size cars available, only minivans and I shouldn’t use a third party service to book a car. They said I should always contact the branch first. Then I called the 800 number to help locate a car in the area to fulfill my reservation. The 800 number agent told me that the branch showed availability but she could not confirm that they had a car for me. I did not rent a car from Hertz.4.0 Mediocre

Cons:
They did a bait and switch move. Defined the class of car we rented to a lower class vehicle that was way too small for our needs. We cancelled the order.10.0 Wonderful
May 2017
Pros:
We rented a van for a trip to see our son graduate. It was great. Our only problem was we got a flat tire in the middle of the desert. Called Hertz and they found a tire for us in the next town. Got there on the spare tire and had to buy a new tire for the van. When we returned the van, the cost of the tire was deducted from our bill. While the cost of the van was more than other rentals, I will definitely rent from Hertz again.8.0 Very good
