Pros:
Not a damn thing.Cons:
Website said the outlet would be open until 5PM. Showed up at 4:30 only to see a closed sign on the door and no one inside. Avoid this Hertz outlet (actually, avoid Hertz in general).2,0 Poor

Sep 2020
Pros:
I had to cancel and go elsewhere.Cons:
1) Being told that the insurance goes through a third party and even if you cancel the rental you DO NOT get your money back!! That was bullshit! I am still waiting to hear from that company about it and it's been 2 damn weeks now. 2) Being told that you have to have a credit check to rent before they do it and drop your score down would have been good to know as well!! I ended up renting a car from Enterprise and I had NO problems! They explained everything up front and even gave me a discount because my anxiety was so high over the problems with Hertz.2,0 Poor

Cons:
I was from out of town. If my friend didn’t let me borrow her credit card, I would not have been able to rent a car. I have a debit/credit card but it was not acceptable and they would not accept my husband’s credit card over the phone. Extremely inconvenient.9,2 Wonderful

Feb 2017
Pros:
This center is now inside Embassy Suites. From the front entrance, go left through the lobby and take a left at the first hallway and it's there on the left. I was helped immediately and the employee was kind and quick. He gave me two options based on my reservation and let me choose what I wanted. The car was clean, full tank of gas, and drove well. Return was smooth and simple. I added an extra day and it was no problem at all. Definitely will rent from here again.One location in Columbia
