I rented a car, when I got there after signing papers , the informed me they were giving me a Nissan work truck. The out side of the truck was terrible. Scratches, dings, dents, paint stains, over all it was dirty and a mess. The inside was somewhat clean. Most everything worked. Could not secure vehicle, the cab sliding window in rear, was broken and no latch. Key fob had a bad battery. Had to use key to lock doors, FOB gave me trouble starting vehicle. Only had less then half tank of gas. It was a one way trip with a drop off. I don't know why they wouldn't give me the car I rented. I rented a car because my wife had fallen at the airport and did located her shoulder a d suffered a fracture. We spent the day before in the hospital, where the had to sedate her to get her arm back in place. She was bound up to keep her arm in place and was on mild medication. She was very uncomfortable on the ride home. Stiff riding suspension. I don't know if I would rent from Hertz again. Depends on your response.

Pros:

The mini van ran well and had enough comfortable seating!

Cons:

I would really appreciate some compensation as the Pacifica Minivan we rented and prepaid in full way in advance was absolutely FILTHY and terribly dirty inside and out! During this time of Covid and since you advertise Hertz is abiding by Covid cleaning protocols this was just the opposite! The car was so dirty we had to go have it vacuumed and wipe down with Lysol wipes and picked up amount of dirty cups and trash! The exterior was also filthy and we couldn’t even see out of the windshield with all the bugs so we had to pay to go have a car wash done! We prepaid for this vehicle way in advance and this should not have been the case when we were rushing to leave for our trip! We were extremely disappointed and would like some compensation! Thanks

Cons:

The employees that I dealt with where very friendly and helpful. They made sure the vehicle was clean, had a full tank of fuel and pointed out all the minor issues with the car so we would not be blamed for these things.
