Pros:

Staff was friendly

Cons:

The pick up Car was filthy, carpet was filled with dog hair. There was food and drink inside the doors and cup holders animal cookies all over. Car smelled of cigarettes. Had the car for 2 weeks couldn’t get rid of the the smell. I had to thoroughly clean and vacuum the car before I’d put my family in it.

It would have been nice to have taken the car on my trip back home. I am now stranded a fourth day with no one-way cars available. I hope your Card credit check, costs you billions to save hundreds. I recently restructured my own car payments, but the older late payments did not drop off as they should have, to only show new payment schedule, which I have kept current. Thanks for ruining my trip. :( :( :(

Pickup was slow because the truck I was scheduled to rent wasn't in the system properly. Drop off was done by dropping the keys in a dropbox.

Cons:

The "full-size SUV" was more mid-size than full-size. We didn't have any trunk space and then the car's maintenance required sign popped up on the first day we had the car. The Hertz employee said the car had Blind-Spot Monitoring - it did NOT.
