Pros:
They at least called to tell me the car I was to pick up that day, but had rented online a few days prior, was not availableCons:
If they had called me before the day of the rental. The woman said they had been sold out of cars for days. I had rented it 2 or 3 days prior so they rented me a car that did not exist. They could have served me better to not rent me a car at all. Just tell me they aren't available so I don't have to end up paying more someplace else8.0 Very good

4.0 Mediocre
Anonymous, May 2021
Pros:
The staff who helped me at pick-up was very kind.Cons:
1. the car smelled like cigarettes. 2. They did not have the class of vehicle which I reserved, and I was given the worst vehicle i've driven in my life. I needed a car for a golf trip, and the vehicle I was given couldn't even fit 1 bag of golf clubs in the trunk.4.0 Mediocre
Anonymous, Apr 2021
Pros:
The staff was excellentCons:
The broken rear view mirror was a repeating problem. It would not stay in position. I had to stop numerous times to readjust it because it would close onto the door while on the highway making it impossible to see out the back on the right side of the van. Not acceptable.7.6 Good
Muhammad Ibrahim, Sep 2020
Pros:
Good behavior of people working and nice carsCons:
Helpline services and more instructions on returning car instructions when the store is closed10.0 Wonderful
Betsy, Jul 2020
Pros:
The staff at Hertz Rental Car were helpful & friendly. The car was comfortable & was the best price out there. The office was in a location that was easy to get to.Cons:
The Hertz location that I went to did not accept debit cards. It would have made my experience much better if I had been informed of that ahead of time as I had to go back home to get my credit card. Even better, I thought they did not have a viable reason for not accepting debit cards in the first place.2.8 Poor

Cons:
Car smelled as if four people Chain smoked in it. Rental agency had no other cars on the lot to exchange. Felt sick entire time - smell was so strong. I ordered a VW Jetta and got a Chevy Malibu.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
I love having a Hertz so close to home. Not a good choice if you're renting from the airport but for Camberville people, this is a great option!One location in Somerville
