I never had more terrible experiences in my life. We came to pick up the car waiting for one and a half hour in the employee was rude and nasty so that we are staying here waiting for the Car and New that she doesn’t have any car available.

The car I hired was fine until the left front tyre started leaking. I had to fill it with air in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Richmond. When I got to Charlottesville, I took it to the Budget location at the airport. They did swap the car but: 1. The vehicle was of a lower standard than that I had originally booked 2. The staff did not care 3. When I went back to the counter to report damage to the car they had just given me, I was told they don't check for damage so as not to concern myself with any damage. Why I was not given like for like was not explained. There appeared to be lots of Budget vehicles in the lot that were comparable to the one I dropped off, even if a different make. I find this odd for a car rental company to downgrade especially when there is a mechanical issue with the car being swapped. At the very least I should have been upgraded!

Terrible. The kayak automated reply sent me to a different pick up point. The service at the original pick up point was terrible. We had to transfer to another site to get a car. Both sites did not have the car needed and we ended up having to rent a smaller car that couldn’t fit everyone.

Cons:

Once I arrived at the Enterprise location, I was informed by the parking garage attendant that this location had been closed down for 2 weeks. I received no communication prior to arriving there, and was then unable to rent a car with Enterprise, as they had no cars available in the entire NYC area.

Tim, Aug 2020

Pros:

Staff was friendly and helpful, they didn't have the car at hand that we wanted and almost had no other options except for a massive SUV or a little corvette which wouldn't have worked. Luckily another customer happened to bring back a similar car to the one we were looking for when we were at the dealership and they agreed to give it a rush clean and to us.

Cons:

We booked the rental initially for 1 month and 7 days. The offer on Kayak suggested a flat-rate price, however at the rental place we were informed it was only going to cover 1 months and we'd have to extend by a manual 7 days afterwards which incurred a couple hundred dollars of additional charges. Not transparent, we would have chosen something else potentially if we'd have known.

Supplier choice

Both pick-up and drop-off were terrible. There were only 2 staff members, we waited in line over an hour to get the car. No clear information on additional pricing was given. Drop off was similarly bad, no indication on were to leave the car, the location was packed and they asked us to leave the car “wherever we could park” then they took forever to do the final check and the person doing it was annoyed by the crazy amount of work he had to do by himself and therefore quite rude.

The lady behind the desk at the pick up location was VERY rude and she intentionally didn’t want to help me with my reservation. When I finally got the car (after so much delay and struggle) the inside was filthy! The inside of the car had not been cleaned.

Wait time was extremely long, the car was not clean when we picked it up. Also the gas tank was not full when they gave me the car. so it caused a whole lot of confusion when dropping of the car

Avis did not honour the prepayment voucher. I had to pay their rate, which was double what I had prepaid, and the value that I paid was applied against the full walk up cost of the rental. I am spending a long time trying to get this rectified. And there was a 30min wait in line before I was served. The car was good, comfortable and clean, and had a full tank. However, the car is factory fitted with SatNav when I tried to use it, it said that this was a subscription service. It was disabled as I did not add it as an extra.

Great location, quick service at pickup and drop off. BEWARE when picking up your car @ Avis - my car, though new, had a lot of scratches- upon dropping off the Stuart tried to charge me for one which was not ticked off (and was disappointed when he learned I had the full insurance and videotaped the car when picked up)

Supplier choice

Awful experience. I chose 'manager's choice' in my booking, as I'm normally not fussy about what car I drive and I like the experience of trying makes and models I haven't driven before. Unfortunately this time 'manager's choice' was an electric vehicle, a Chevy Bolt. I should have refused to take it. It was completely unsuitable for my needs. Unfortunately I went ahead. I was handed the key and given no advice about how to charge it or how to find charging stations. It turns out many charging stations require a particular app. Most charging stations are not found at gas stations. Also, charging the vehicle fully takes many hours, not the couple of minutes regular non-EV cars take to fill up. If an EV is your lifestyle choice you can plan your schedule, figure out the apps, figure out the charging network, and plan your route around that choice. As a novice to EV's and as a person taking a 24 hour rental, an EV was a completely unsuitable vehicle. I ended up with a massive additional charge from Hertz ($127 in addition to the $140 rental fee), as I had to return the car with a drained battery (I couldn't fit the 5 hour charge time into my schedule). The stress and delays caused by all of this was unreal. What should have been a 4-6 hour drive turned into a 19 hour nightmare. I entirely regret taking this rental.

Mark, Apr 2021

Pros:

Drop-off was easy

Cons:

At pickup, your staff makes a $200 deposit charge against my credit card without letting me know. This was caught as fraud for some reason by my bank, and so the card was 'declined' - even though I PRE-PAID for the car. I immediately marked the charge as 'acceptable' in my banking app, so that it could go through. Your staff re-ran the entire process and the card was declined again - even though I had marked the second charge as acceptable in my banking app AGAIN. I had to call someone else to use their credit card, which meant we had to call to get a refund for MY booking and re-book under a new credit card. This process had to be done on the phone, after a 30min wait time, even though we were sitting directly in the Hertz office. We were extremely late when we finally got a car and the staff was not helpful. I still have to confirm that (1) I was correctly refunded my money, and (2) the two $200 'deposits' were not actually charged to my card. This was a really terrible experience and I won't be booking through Hertz again.
