The manager is awful (Tatum). Enterprise gave me a lower grade compact when I paid for a full-size because “that’s all they had”. My bill wasn’t lowered.

Pros:

Good service getting out the door.

Cons:

Windows, inside and out need to be cleaned. Glare was horrible and dangerous. Back window especially dirty inside. New cars outgas all the time and the inside windows need special attention.

Cons:

I paid for a mid sized suv to go on vacation with my 3 friends. I was given a Nissan Kicks which is a sub compact vehicle. It was so small we barely fit our luggage in. Very disappointed. The lady at Hertz didn’t care and said she had nothing else. Will Never use Hertz again. Poor customer service.

Pros:

Overall experience was very good.

Cons:

When we arrived at the pick-up location, the attendant was not there, we had to wait for about 15-20 for him to arrive as he was out picking up a car.

Pickup and return, nobody was there, counter was closed. Waited over 2 1/2 hours for pickup and was done by Hertz counter. No walk around the car or anything after a long wait. And returning, drop box or anybody at counter.

8.0 Very good

Oct 2023

KAYAK
The price was good but it was one of those dealer’s choice promotions. The vehicle turned out to be a Ram 1500 extended cab pickup which is way too big a vehicle for someone used to driving a car. After some discussion they were able to change it for a Toyota Carola. This was very appreciated, although the initial stance was they could not change it. The person working the desk didn’t seem to want to be there, but others he called over were helpful.

They cancelled my rental before I arrived (flight delayed out of LA) and told me I needed to call and tell them I was delayed (umm I was on the plane you morons how was I supposed to call). This happened to several other people in line as well. They overbooked themselves and ran out of cars so they refused to correct their own error. I ended up hoping back on Kayak and getting a car from Budget, which was a great experience, but some others that had their reservation cancelled were unable to get a car.

Pros:

Cons:

The reservation did not work. Terms and conditions applied that more than doubled the price (drop off fee). The agent at the desk was rude and unhelpful. Ended up going to Alamo which offered a decent price on the spot.

They had canceled our reservation and car not available. Our flight canceled and rescheduled to later in day- not under our control. Sales person not nice and seemed bothered that we were bothering her. Not helpful at all. We rented from budget - they were very helpful and actually less expensive
