4.8 Mediocre
Oct 2018
Pros:
Car OK.Cons:
Pick up at Ritz Carlton is a long trek to business center, no way to really check out car with agent. Valet hands over keys for dirty car you didn't order and short on gas. Would have to go back to long distance agent to deal with concerns. Not recommended. Best to pick up at Truckee airport where you can talk to agent .and not have to tip valet for his help.2.0 Poor
Mar 2018
Pros:
I am waiting for my refund as the local hertz office did not have the car that I booked. I was told by a hertz manager that I would be receiving a refund but have not yet heard back. I will be reporting the charge to my card as fraudulent bc the services purchased were not delivered.10.0 Wonderful
Dec 2017
Pros:
Easy pick up, easy drop off which was amazing. Loved that the mileage was unlimited.2.0 Poor
Sep 2017
Cons:
Hertz didn't have my car and didn't seem to care. This led to having to take a $300 Lyft ride. Will never rent from Hertz again.2.0 Poor
Jul 2016
Pros:
NothingCons:
Booked the car, got to Hertz rental at the Truckee airport and the guys said they were out of cars because of the airshow. I asked them if they planned ahead and brought in more cars knowing the airshow was happening, they replied no. Idiots. They said they would call me that afternoon or the next morning when they got some more cars. The next morning I called and left messages and never heard from them at all for the three days I was there. I ended up walking and taking the bus instead. What a bunch of slacker idiots they have working there!!!Enterprise Rent-A-Car

May 2018
Pros:
The ladies at pick up were wonderful, helpful, and apologietic about the car not being the best for such a long journey.Cons:
The car has nearly 40k miles on it and is worse for the wear. It rattled and had stains on the back seat. Upon drop off, the woman at the desk informed me that I would have to pay a $259 cleaning fee because “she was not cleaning that up”. I had just had her car cleaned. I left, went to CVS, got a lint roller, and rolled someone else’s dog’s hair out of the car (the hair was short, my service dog does not shed). She made me feel awful, repeatedly, until my husband finally showed up and informed her that my dog is a licensed and registered service dog, at which point she said she “supposed she’d waive the fee, even though the car wasn’t in great shape”. This car was in better shape than when we received it. She is doing serious damage to the Budget brand just because she doesn’t want to do her job and clean cars.10.0 Wonderful

Jan 2017
Pros:
The lady working at the desk was very efficient and fast. She was also apologetic about the lack of car availability.Cons:
1) There were zero cars available when I arrived at the time of my reservation. I had to wait over an hour for a car to show up. 2) It was quite difficult to find the rental store's location, as there were no signs anywhere. 3) The cost seemed excessive ($130 for a 4-hour drive to the Bay area).2.0 Poor
Feb 2016
Cons:
Wasted our time going to pick up a reservation that was made an hour earlier. Customer service representative made no effort to fix the situation and was visibly annoyed and walked away as I was asking her if she knows of other options because I took a cab to get there assuming that I had a car because of the confirmed reservation.Eagle Rent A Car
