8.0 Very good

Jul 2022

Staff and pickup drop-off was great. The car interior windshield was very dirty and smeared with a cloth that caused streaks. When I was driving during the sunset hours, it was very difficult to see. I had to ask someone for Windex and towels to clean the inside windshield.

The car rental process was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had a weird non-mechanical issue with the car itself but the management took care of it and issued a discount. We were impressed with the customer service. We would rent from them again.

Pros:

Usually rent from Enterprise. Tried Hertz. Very unprofessional.

Cons:

The place was closed when I got there at noon which was when I was scheduled for pick up. Then I had to wait an hour to get the car because it was not at the there. I drove it home and found out the battery was dead. Had to wait for AAA to jump the car. Then I had to drive to Firestone to get a new battery. Another hour wait. Headed to Florida, ran into bad weather and found out there was now window washer fluid. A very bad experience with Hertz rental car.

Cons:

Number one the car provided to me was covered with snow and I had to clean it by myself in chilly weather of Chicago early morning. Second the car shown on display was Toyota but I was given the smallest mid size car with no trunk to put family language on a long drive. Instead of getting the car from chosen location , We had to go to another location to pick the car
