It was hard to hear the person checking me in because of the noise in that area. I'm not sure how that could be alleviated, though, may if he was on my level instead of a raised area where he was talking over my head

I booked reservation for June 28-Aug. 3, 2024. When I got car, I was told that Budget only would book for a maximum of 30 days and that I would have to make another booking for the last week. When I went online to do so, prices were considerably higher than when I made initial booking. I therefore went to another agency that was cheaper for that week. This was far less than convenient. Had I known this upfront, I would probably booked with another agency to begin with.

Excellent! I've rented many times, but this was the first time I can remember that I was given a completely new vehicle that hadn't been driven before. This made for a very enjoyable vacation!

The Nissan Rogue is a keeper. When traveling cross country from NY to MN, I hit a patch of rough winter weather. This vehicle performed beautifully and the Rochester Hertz gave it to me as an upgrade; so thankful for that. The one recommendation to Hertz that I would make: in addition to providing the street address for the Hertz counter associated with both pick-up and drop-off, provide the customer with additional information such as "at the airport, inside the terminal, near arrivals." Despite possessing an intimate familiarity with the MN location, I had difficulty locating the counter.
