Cons:

I needed a 4 wheel drive. Had I not gone into the Rental Location a week a head of time, it was not likely that I would have ended up with one. So the "SUV" picture on the Kayak website really didn't represent the actual available vehicles.

Cons:

everything was not explained clearly, contract says one thing and we were informed differently very confusing but we ended up paying for their mistake. Very unprofessional, and also we made a reservation for a full size car they gave us a mid-size sedan Chevy cruze. I did rent cars from them in the past but this is the last time. I will not recommend this place to anyone else. Bad experience

The vehicle was just fine. Clean and what is expected. Pick-up and drop-off were easy. The pick-up agent did not fill out the envelope w/vehicle/rental information, however checked the 1/4 tank mark. Vehicle was returned with slightly over 1/4 tank. The rental agreement was then placed inside said envelope and I kept those documents. At drop-off, everything was fine until the final bill where they charged me for a full tank ($130. 30% markup). According to the customer service agent I called, the pickup agent indicated an “full tank”. Even after submitting a picture of the envelope next to the rental agreement the customer service agent was unable to remove the fuel markup. And unwilling to push it to a supervisor at that time. It would need to go to the pickup location to verify first. Not sure what they’ll verify (their agent mis-entered the fuel status). Suppose to hear back in 5-7 business days. Won’t use Hertz again.

We booked full size car and given midsize car instead. We went there twice to get changed. But they wouldn’t and won’t give SUV saying, we pay the difference. Whereas, midsize was being offered at $350 for the same period we paid almost 560+ to book full size car and still got midsize.

we had a midsize reservation but the branch didn't have it. I had a foot sugary and have to carry knee scooter and couldn't use the small car. The representative(s) at the Hertz office were so rude. they called 911 but since we didn't do anything wrong; the police officer didn't say anything to us.

Cons:

THE CAR THAT I WANTED AND PAID FOR ON LINE, WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT HERTZ, EVEN THOUGH THE WEB SITE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS. GOT A FLAT TIRE ON THE WAS BACK HOME FROM ARKANSAS. THE TOOL THAT YOU USE TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS WAS STRIPPED OUT, AND ONLY SPUN AROUND THE LUG NUT. HAD TO USE A TOW SERVICE, AND BUY A NEW TIRE. THAT COST ME OVER TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS. ONE OTHER THING...THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WORN TO THE POINT THAT MADE SEEING WORSE THAN IF I HAD NOT USED THEM. IN CLOSING, HERTZ IS VERY LACKING WITH THEIR BASIC MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS. SHOULD I EVER HAVE ANOTHER NEED FOR A CAR RENTAL, I WILL USE ENTERPRISE.
