Book Hertz car rentals in Tampa

Cons: when picking up car it was very disorganized.

Cons: Per the Hertz disclaimer, paying with a debit card means you will need to also put up a $200 deposit upon rental time. Thus, I paid with a credit card to avoid that deposit requirement. This is commonplace at many rental agencies. However, Hertz attempted to run my credit card AGAIN for the deposit without telling me while almost done picking up. I was not informed of this charge prior to the company running the card. This triggered my bank to alert me of the charge attempt. I had to call reservations because the rental was made and prepaid online. Attempting to cancel the rental I was informed it was after the rental pickup time and I would be charged in full (process started before pickup time but hassle of pickup added nearly an hour). This unadvertised practice of attempting to charge customers without their knowledge is ridiculous and I nearly disputed the entire rental. Unfortunately, I was on a time crunch for military orders and had to cough up the deposit just to ensure I could arrive on time. Terrible. Using Avis fRom now on. They've never done this to me.

Cons: Whatever they used as an air freshener was almost debilitatingly overpowering and nauseating. If I hadn't landed at like 10pm, I would've gone back to get a differen car and complained right then and there, but I had a 0730 meeting and just needed to get to the hotel and to bed, and honestly I assumed that the strength of the smell was due to how recently it had been sprayed and it would dissipate. I was wrong, and I regretted it. After every time I drove the car I found that I had a headache, and I believe it was from the immense overuse of whatever product caused that smell. I wonder if they were trying to cover up that someone had smoked in the car or something, but honestly, I would've preferred it smell like smoke over whatever thy hell that was. I mentioned it when I dropped the car off and the woman said they didn't use any "baby powder type air fresheners"...but the minute she opened the door to check the gas level and encountered it, she apologized saying that it was really awful. But that's all that was done, even when I told her about the headaches, since, from her perspective, I could've brought the car back anytime. Except I couldn't due to the work schedule and the fact that I arrived late at night, worked all day the next day, and left the following morning at 0800. Awesome.

Cons: I ordered a "premium" car which was described as a Chevy Impala or equivalent. The car they gave us was a Buick Regal which has a smaller passenger compartment and a much smaller trunk. When I told them this was too small they offered a Honda Accord which was not much better. Fortunately an Impala came in while we were waiting and everything worked out well. I feel that card in a class should have similar passenger room and especially trunk room.
