Pros:

The overall process was excellent. Staff, Company and company to customer was excellent.

Cons:

Not sure what features were available in Jeep model. - We were 7000+ feet on climb which our SUV handled well. When it came to steep decline (coming down the mountain), the button to turn on decline going 5 mph feature was disabled. My concern on steep decline from 7000+ feet was a concern if I would burn the braking system. Not sure if this is a feature that needs to be purchased, but at the same time there was a risk. Overall: Great SUV and would recommend to others.

Pickup was fine, but there was a huge mixup when I returned the car. I was charged an extra $300 for returning the vehicle to a different location even though it was the exact same place and the same desk agent.

The vehicle was stolen while I was packing. I was double charged by Hertz they charged me for the full weeks rental and insurance. I was only supposed to be charged 1 day of insurance coverage because the theft occurred same day as rental. so far I have paid twice for the weeks rental and a week of insurance.

All aspects of the rental process went very well. I requested the car on-line; I received a reminder by email before my scheduled pick-up date; I arrived and the agent was very friendly and helpful; I completed the brief paperwork; the car was exactly what I had requested and it was there waiting for me; it was clean and in excellent shape, even though it had over 50 thousand miles on it. I was a little surprised about the rental prices, but I guess that is just the way things are.

It's not customer friendly at all. Why do I HAVE TO GO to the same outlet for renewal ? Why can't I use two credit cards to pay? Why don't you accept a debit card, when you have used a credit card in the past? There are too many rules that are not customer friendly and make a renewal difficult and cumbersome. And the representative lady there wasn't helpful either. Throwing rule books at a customers face is not service.

This place cx’d my reservation without contacting me. Then I asked the supervisor Lissette at the Concord Ca location for her supervisor bc she couldn’t answer the questions I needed and she redirected me to the customer service center. I didn’t ask for that department. I asked for your supervisor. Totally disgusted with budget and will never again in life rent from them and Yall are about to go viral when I put it on my multiple platforms.
