Customer service was friendly and helpful end to end, much better than the service with Avis. But the SUV was filthy on the outside and inside on the windshield. The driver's side floor mat had a large hole in it. I only had a 3 hour drive, but this could have been much better with a clean inside windshield. Otherwise, the new Toyota RAV4 was a great ride.

Cons:

Engine light came on day two and because most Hertz locations are closed or have modified hours, I stuck with car that had something wrong with it. Then, they over charge me for rental.
