2.0 MediocreJul 14 2020
Cons: I got a text from Enterprise saying that there were no cars available from the location that was closest to me. Even though I reserved it through Kayak stating that the car that I reserved was available. Sucks. I canceled the reservation, went elsewhere.

Pros: Yes
2.0 MediocreOct 13 2020
Pros: Nothing. Told me they didn’t haven’t care.Cons: Not being extremely rude, and announce they have the right to cancel my reservation at Hertz if they don’t have cars even though it said they do online. Multiple other car agencies said they do not have cars available. Hertz said they did and the man at the desk was very rude and unhelpful.
2.0 MediocreAug 15 2020
Cons: Poor poor poor. Everything is poor.
4.0 OkayJul 30 2019
Pros: Absolutely nothing was positive about this experience.Cons: The Albany Hertz: horribly understaffed with TERRIBLE service. Car rentals usually require some amount of patience, but this place is horrible. The phone rings off the hook, the wait is at least an hour, and they are totally understaffed.

4.0 OkayNov 27 2018
Had to pay an extra day that I didn't want!!!Cons: I rented a car from Wednesday thru Sunday for a specific amount of money. When I picked up the car I was told they were closed Sunday and I would be charged for an extra day till Monday. They said if I had a problem to take it up with the on line place I rented it with.
6.8 GoodApr 17 2017
Great car but poor customer servicePros: The vehicle we ended up with was perfect for a 6 days, 5 state road trip with 2 kids.Cons: The pick up and drop off was very time consuming due to customer service issues. I will never rent a car from Hertz again.

6.4 GoodMar 14 2020
Cons: Upon dropping off the car, I was charged a higher amount than was on my original receipt. The receptionists at the dropoff location couldn't adequately explain why. They thought it was some insane reason like I picked up the car 10 minutes before my appointed time of noon on a Thursday...and that changed my rate somehow? I had to call Budget customer service to resolve it. Turns out they upcharged me for a sedan when I had reserved a compact car. I had nothing to do with that. I reserved a compact car and paid for a compact car. I just took whatever the hell car they gave me at the pickup location. The associate on the phone promised to refund me the difference.

4.0 OkayOct 6 2020
Pros: The staff at the pick up place was not friendly or helpful at all. Actually, I'm gonna file a claim against that woman to Avis. I will never recommend to use that branch. She was the worst stsff ever in my experience without any respect or kindness to a customer.Cons: I believe the owner of the branch should be resigned.
5.6 OkayJun 22 2020
Pros: The car functioned and was full of gas when I got it.Cons: During coronavirus, I expected the car to be cleaner. There was a straw wrappers and other trash by the passenger seat, which makes me wonder if it was sanitized between users.
6.0 GoodJun 9 2020
Pros: Cars are available most of the time Price is goodCons: The car was dirty and the gas tank was not full
10.0 ExcellentJun 24 2019

10.0 ExcellentJun 26 2018
Pros: Service at the location was excellent. Vehicle was excellent.
10.0 ExcellentSep 18 2017
Pros: Quick car delivering, clean, corresponding to the model I needed. I had a problem with my passport, forgotten in the train and waiting it to come back at the station, and the employee accepted a copy of it to build the contract. Fortunately I got my passport quickly...
6.4 GoodApr 13 2017
Cons: We called corporate office to extend reservation, and they said we were all set. We had our doubts because the girl my boyfriend talked to seemed confused. When we called the local drop off location, the next day. they said they had no extension on file and charged us a late fee.
10.0 ExcellentApr 6 2017
Pros: The staff upon pickup were very good. The car was clean and in good condition.Cons: Returning was slow as there was only one employee who was staffing the desk, washing cars, and moving cars around the lot. This seems unfair both on the employee and customers waiting.
2.0 MediocreAug 18 2016
terrible service at drop off ruined the whole expeCons: The lady you guys have working at the Emeryville store is probably one of the most rude people I have ever encounter. She got pissed because I had to get my things from the car and she had to open the car for me after she had already closed my contract (wtf??). Also, I was late only 29 min and she charged me almost the full price for another entire daily rate. I don't think this is fair. Hertz is WAY MORE flexible than you guys. They WOULD NEVER charge another day for bing late 29 min. I will call customer services because I don't think this is correct.
2.0 MediocreAug 1 2016
Unable to rent carCons: I was not made aware that a credit card was needed for rentals nor that a soft credit report would be pulled.
