Cons:
Josh at Hertz was a total professional, from check out, to extending our rental because our work truck is getting the motor rebuilt and is not going to be completed for another week. We have been so stressed over the financial loss and worried about not being able to complete jobs without a work truck. However, Josh at Hertz made the process super easy...thank you so very much...Hertz has earned our business and repeat business.4,4 Mediocre
