Checkin and out was great, the car was really comfortable and got great gas mileage. No additional fee for mileage is a huge plus. My only complaint, compared to other companies, is the lack of flex... See more

They always say they are giving you a better deal and you end up paying more and the car selection is not accurate online vs in person. They always squeeze you into a smaller car and say it’s the one... See more

Ease of picking up vehicle

Ease of picking up vehicle. Assistance received setting up navigation. Upon returning vehicle was offered assistance in getting an UBER to our next destination. All helpful when you are visiting another country and don't speak the language.
All employees were great!

When we arrived our reservation was not…

When we arrived our reservation was not ready, I was told to step aside and they would let me know when it was ready, the gentlemen did not know when it would be ready. After about 30 minutes, I was told there was no car on the lot that matched my reservation. When I finally got a car, there were issues at the gate, it took us 30 minutes just to get out the gate.

Lying Lady added a Fake Fuel fee.

The female associate told me she would “process the return and send me a receipt.” Naively knowing the larger than requested vehicle, that was initially set to Sport mode, was over full on fuel and in excellent condition, I believed her. Thankfully I have proof of my BP fuel charge and upon starting the vehicle immediately placed it into ECO mode since gas prices are so high WA state. She must have figured people just expect high prices or that I was too busy or dumb to notice the overcharge. I presume that is a way the site makes money or she is skimming off the top.

Excellent team running this location

This team always takes care of me but on this particular occasion they found me a luxurious Infiniti SUV upgrade that provided the perfect solution for my family vacation. I always use these guys. I trust them with my rental needs.

Closes to early for a rental place

Didn't like how I had to keep the car for 2 more days because there was no overnight drop off. I work long hours and by the time I got off there was no way I was going to make it. Then if I was to drop it off at another location I was going to be charged something. So when I first reserved the car it was a good deal affordable but in the end I was dissatisfied with how much it came to.

I’ve been renting from Hertz in Las…

I’ve been renting from Hertz in Las Vegas for years, and my recent rental was another positive experience.

The President’s Circle selection seemed a little more limited than I’ve seen there in the past, and the Chevrolet SUV I selected wasn’t necessarily a vehicle I expected to love at first. However, it ended up being more comfortable and enjoyable than I anticipated and worked very well for the week.

Most importantly, the entire rental experience was smooth and straightforward, with no problems from pickup through return. That consistency is a major reason I’ve continued renting from Hertz over the years. Overall, another good experience and exactly what I want from a rental-car company.

Hertz rental Buffalo

Clean car which was working fine. Ease of return. Unfortunately, Gold counter was closed at Buffalo, so had to wait longer than typical at other Hertz rentals where I could just choose a car directly.

Customer service is too automated

Overall, no complaints on my rental experience, but I had a question on a charge I received, and it was impossible to talk to a live person. All I could get was AI Chat help and I got stuck in a phone menu with choices that didn’t match my issue. I ended up going back to the rental counter at the airport to talk to a real person to get my issue resolved.

Ridiculous Agent Interaction - Poor Service at Orlando

No issue with the actual rental but may flight was severely delayed and I had provided details as part of my reservation. Upon arrival at the counter, the agent was unable to process my reservation, claiming it was past 24 hours although it wasn't. She told me I had to update the reservation myself online which I was unable to do as it was also locked. She then had me call customer service (FROM THE HERTZ OFFICE!) to have them fix it. The service agent on the phone said the reservation locks after midnight and they could do nothing about it. I was then told to book a brand new reservation and was promptly given a new higher rate. As a Gold Member this is ridiculous when flights are delayed all the time and I thought was the whole purpose of requesting my flight details at time of reservation. On top of that an unwillingness to honor the original rate, making me call another hertz service agent while at the counter is simply unacceptable and makes me rethink using Hertz or any of their affiliated companies in the future.
