The rental agent was amazing and when I asked about an upgrade to what they were offering me she was able to find what we required immediately. However the vehicles cleanliness was not good. Not her fault but the expedition had not been cleaned inside or out. There was still garbage scattered through the truck. Nothing yucky but just someone else’s mess. Easy peasy pick up and drop off and agent was super nice and friendly.

Your website would not distinguish between a 1 Way Rental, and a Return Rental. Why wouldn't your website just STATE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE 1 WAY RENTALS... Instead of reverting back to a Return Rental ? I had to pay a Lyft driver $50, then had to pay your competitor TWICE what I had confirmed on your website. SO, DO YOU THINK I'LL EVER USE YOUR SITE AGAIN ???

The staff was helpful and pick up/drop off was easy. However, we reserved a small car and ended up with an extra cab pick up truck. I would have much preferred the vehicle I reserved. I do not usually drive a truck and navigating a large vehicle in a new city was not pleasant.

I prepaid for my car rental for a one way and when I got there they charged me another $150 and a deposit. I was only needing it for one day and I feel like it was too expensive. I hate how they hit with extra fees when you go to pick up your rental.

When I got my final receipt they charged me for a fill up @ 10.99 per gallon and I returned it full. Then trying to get the charges reversed was a nightmare, they said thy reversed charges so we will see how that goes.

Great experience. The mobile check-in option was very simple and the Hertz rental counter being right inside the airport is super convenient. Picked up our truck quickly and easily. Drop-off was equally simple with a short, covered walk into the airport which was nice since it was pouring and we were traveling with our toddler. Will definitely rent from here next time we come to Nashville.

I paid for the rental ahead of time, and was then charged an extra fee to pick the vehicle up. Nowhere was an additional fee mentioned. This is the 3rd satisfaction survey that I've filled out saying the same thing, and rather than reach out and try to fix things, y'all just send more surveys.

Bad experience with Hertz pick up. I reserved and paid up front so we could just go to the car and skip the counter. Trudged the length of the garage, stowed luggage and then couldn’t start the car because the key fob was dead. Unloaded and Walked all the way back to a kiosk in 90 degree heat. Waited a half hour for the CSR to get done talking to another employee while ignoring customers. Finally was assigned another car, no apologies or upgrade and we left a half hour beyond our pickup time. Terrible.

Car was given to us dirty and then once it rained, it turned muddy. We had to pull off the highway and clean all the windows in order to see out clearly. The inside needed to be vacuumed and there were no floor mats.

I made a reservation specifically for a Ford Transit passenger van and Dollar Car Rental tried to give me a Honda Odyssey mini van, which does not have nearly enough space as we needed. So I cancelled the reservation and went with a different rental company who had the vehicle I needed and also ended up spending less money.

They would only give an EV. I can’t drive EV. QEEQ did not refund. Should have been clearer when booking that “mystery car” could be EV. No car and no refund. The worst booking ever.

Drop off. They lined up cars in one lane instead of left tight center. This added 200 yards to our walk to the terminal. The distance to the terminal was already long in high heat. The extra distance was totally unnecessary. All else was good.
