I'm actually thinking of buying the Nissan Rogue Sport 2020. The car was so much fun to drive. Also, we rented the car from Hertz as manager's choice. I will always do that from now on. We got a fantastic car, way more fancy than if we had specified a type of car. The staff was amazing. The only thing was that Enterprise will pick you up and drop you off and Hertz does not.

Cons:

The branch manger, Alex was very rude. The car was full of pet fur and he didn’t want to vacuum the car. He instead said upgrade or leave. We planned a trip to Times Square and was unable to get a one-way rental elsewhere. I will not use this car rental agency again!

Pros:

On line it said I was renting a Ford Focus or a car comparable. It was the size of a smart car. It was in my opinion a sub compact car not a compact.

Cons:

Don’t advertise similar to a larger car when it isn’t true. Will never go back to Hertz. I work in the airline industry and will not recommend them.
