Pros:
Stay was friendly and attentive.Cons:
I needed to exchange our rental because a tire kept losing its tire pressure. A replacement vehicle was not available when I came in because they said there were none available. I could see other cars were ready, but perhaps, not the same size as our rental. The courtesy of allowing us to exchange for a different size would have made this experience better.Avis

Cons:
Transparency! The car I was promised was not what I got including the option. The car smelled of smoke and clearly the previous renter had animals. The car had dints and the appearance was very subpar. I was embarrassed to even drive it. It set in my garage the whole weekend. I even returned it on Sunday. I felt I was treated like a second class citizen and I all I got was sorry but it is what it is. The only satisfaction I got from this rental was returning it early!! I would never recommend Hertz to my friends and I would never rent from Hertz every again!!4.4 Mediocre
Dave, Oct 2020
Cons:
Had to wait an hour to pick it up. It wasn't ready. Then, when they finally brought it out, it was filthy on the outside. The tire pressures were all wrong and there were many dents and dings on the exterior, including a stone chip on the windshield.2.0 Poor
