Shuttle provided fast and convenient service both to and from airport. My arrival flight, and subsequent pickup, was delayed for hours, but it didn't impact my car rental at all. Drop off procedure was quick and efficient and staff was friendly through the whole process.

I flew on 7/19/24 - the day of the global IT outage. My flight was delayed 4 times, then cancelled, then we re-booked a flight at a different airport, and then we missed that plane and had to re-book again at the last minute. We had to fly to a different airport which would require a 2.75 hour drive to our destination. Fortunately, we arrived around 9:30 pm so we thought it wouldn't be too bad. Even given all of those inconveniences, do you know what the WORST part of our day was? Dealing with the staff at the Hertz desk. Manipulation, lies, and unnecessary delays. I was traveling with a child, and trying to ensure her safety while she laid down on a couch along the wall, waiting for me while I waited and waited and waited in line. BUT there were only a couple of people in the line! The wait was because staff spent an ENORMOUS amount of time with each customer, trying to deceive them and upsell them. When it was finally my turn, the staff did a bait-and-switch with me. Then he told me I couldn't upgrade. Then he told me I could only upgrade if I paid for the reserved car as well. Then he lied to me about my car insurance. Then he priced out a car for $85/day for 3 days and presented me with a written bill for $600.00. I asked for a copy of it for my records and he refused. My 7 year old granddaughter repeatedly walked over to me, sleepy-eyed and asked, 'what is taking SO LONG Grammy?' The staff made me leave the line, go and make another reservation and only then would he allow me to book a car rental. We finally left there AFTER 11:00 PM - to begin our 2.75 hour drive to our destination. It was an extraordinary abuse of a customer, and I will NEVER use Hertz again. I was not able to ever cancel the original reservation: K9242146653. The staff told me reservations cannot be cancelled and it didn't matter because you only get charged when you pick up the car. He said you could make 10 reservations and you wouldn't get charged for them if you don't pick up the car. Would you please ensure that this is correct as they were very deceitful and I can't trust anything they said. Please make sure that I am only being charged for the actual car I rented. It was a 2024 Hyundai Kona, license TN 736BMPZ. The new reservation number was #K92430569D0. Thank you.

Customer service at the RDU terminal was excellent. The car was clean and it felt like an upgrade from what I booked, as it was quite new (low mileage) and was very comfortable. I needed to pick it up early, which was accommodated quite graciously. I had a 900 mile drive in this vehicle with no issues.

I bet ones a 6pm pick up. I arrived to learn the location closes at 6pm. Why did it even give the option for pick ups after the location is closed?

I called to make sure there was a shuttle to this location. They told me yes, I got on the shuttle and it only went to the airport Enterprise. I asked if the shuttle would take me to the other, they told me no. So I had to cancel that reservation and rent from that enterprise and it was $75 more since I had no way to get to the other Enterprise.

Pros:

Never picked up

Should Have been notified that I needed to use my credit card at least a week before I had to pick up. I won’t be using enterprise ever again

Viviane, Jun 2020

Pros:

Drop off was easy

Cons:

The first car was so smoky that the family we rented it for, with two young children, could hardly stand the smell. They traded that car in for another one at the coast and that car was dirty (in a pandemic, when the car should have been sanitized) and also smoky.

The customer service people were very nice and helpful, but I wasn't able to get the vehicle that I needed and one of the vehicles given to me needed an oil change so I had to go back inside and get a different vehicle.

Generally the overall rental experience was really great. Only the price was far too much in my opinion (roughly USD 130.00 per day for 6 days). Apart from that I'd totally recommend it again

The reservation was for the S. Salisbury location in Raleigh. While in an Uber to pick up the car at 10am, the location called to say that they didn't have any cars. I was dropped off at the location and told to call the national reservation number. I called and the agent moved the reservation to Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh location, some 20 minutes away. I hailed another Uber and while in that ride, the location called to say they didn't have any cars. At the Glenwood location I called the national reservation number and they said to go to RDU airport another 20 minutes away. I finally got a car but not before I had to spend an extra $50 on Uber rides and wasting 2 hours of my time.

Despite making our reservation for a small sedan nearly a year ago, the only vehicle available was a RAM 1500 truck. The gas mileage was horrible and it hadn’t been washed.

Rude staff at Raleigh airport AVIS/ Busget. Gave me a crappy car even though I insisted I have a toddler and plan to drive over 12 hours to Canada. USD $315 was charged but they didn’t even bother checking my air pressure.

I booked a 12-passenger van, confirmed the reservation the day before, and then showed up and they did not have any available and only had smaller vehicles. Absolutely awful experience that did not meet our needs. Exceptionally frustrating considering the extra effort I went through to confirm everything was ready the day before. Will not use again.

After I agreed to insurance, the car rental company immediately call me to that the car is actually unavailable. Now I never use KAYAK because there are some double exist that the list of cars available is not updated frequently.
