The location was a little unusual, in a large car dealership repair facility and motorcycle sales showroom, but was easy to find and the Hertz rental person was efficient and friendly. We were on a one way trip transitioning from a bike tour to a car tour to Gettysburg and Baltimore. Everything worked as planned. Perfect!

They didn't have a car for me. It was the worst experience I've ever had renting a car.
