The reservation did not make it clear that the car was to be picked up in town instead of at the airpoort. Even though there was an Enterprise counter at the airport, I had to take an Uber with my luggage to the other location. The counter people at the airport were surly and not willing to address my problem. It was a waste of both time and money.

The people working there were great! Really went above and beyond! Unfortunately our flight was changed to a few hours later though and we ended up having to pay a full day's cost for the rental car and that didn't seem right.

The car was great, the people were friendly and efficient. I felt there was a little bit of deception involved with me not being able to pick up or drop off at the local airport. They informed me there was a $150 tax in order to do that, I made it work with an Uber ride other than that everything was great

It would have been nice to be able to get ahold of someone on the phone to set up a different drop off location. Now I get why people drop rental cars wherever. You don't answer your phones.

Our vehicle had way to many miles on it, and it showed (44K) lots of bangs and bruises, tires were worn and windows not cleaned on the inside also tire bearings on driver rear were gone. Check in/out was great. Better luck next time with another competition.

It was largely my fault. Was in a hurry and reserved it at wrong location and hertz couldn’t help us and ended up paying a much higher rate to rent again. Losing original rent fee. Lesson learned

Not sure whose fault it was, but the pick-up location for my rental closes at 12 on Saturday and with my pickup time being at 12 it caused a problem. If I had showed up a minute later I wouldn’t have been able to pick up the vehicle. Car was fine, a little musty but other than that it was ok.
