Retuned car after they were closed, a few hours later than scheduled. They couldn’t have rented it to someone else anyway, my scheduled drop off time was their closing time. Still charged me for the whole next day. They don’t do the right thing by their customers. Greedy.

The Hertz rental agent called 2 hours before pick up time notifying me that there is no service out of Hampden where I was scheduled to pick up. I had to find a ride to travel 25 minutes to pick up in New Haven Ct. The Hertz agent tried to sell me another insurance, claiming the insurance from third party (Price line) is not recognized by Hertz. Minimal assistance was offered to drive the vehicle out of the crowded lot. Very poor service experience.
