Pros:
The car was nice and had no issuesCons:
Pick up took an hour. Staff member was kind but very slow and easily distracted and then we had to wait for car to be fully cleaned. After renting I called to try to adjust reservation and was told it couldn’t be adjusted at all so I had to change plans even though hertz states it can be changed.2,0 Poor
Aug 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
Because it was a third party rental, there was no guarantee that for anything apparently. We showed up to Hertz to find out the office was closed for the entire weekend and we were left stranded without a car. Our reservation was allowed to be made for a time when it wasn’t physically possible to get a car. We had to pay triple at the only other rental place at the airport.4,0 Mediocre

Pros:
Signed up for a full car for the week. when I went to drive away I had noticed a stale cigarette smell. Mentioned it to the check out receptionist and without hesitation offered the next car available which happened to be the Nissan Rogue compact SUV, for the same price! Huge upgrade, no hassle!Cons:
My first conversation on the phone carried a tone of disinterest as if they could care less if I rented from them or not. Didn't set my expectations too high, however, once I came in their demeanor was much more professional. Must have been a bad day or moment!9,6 Wonderful

Pros:
The overall process was excellent. Staff, Company and company to customer was excellent.Cons:
Not sure what features were available in Jeep model. - We were 7000+ feet on climb which our SUV handled well. When it came to steep decline (coming down the mountain), the button to turn on decline going 5 mph feature was disabled. My concern on steep decline from 7000+ feet was a concern if I would burn the braking system. Not sure if this is a feature that needs to be purchased, but at the same time there was a risk. Overall: Great SUV and would recommend to others.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
Nice check in Clerk though very busy. I got a great price and was lucky to get an upgrade to a brand new Volkswagen. Amazing price from Amazon and Avis. The clerk says Avis has their own insurance for $11 which would be easier if you had a problem because they will say they take care of instead of going through a third-party8,4 Very Good

As we did the drop off we had to go up stairs because we rented the car from Concord with a drop off at SFO airport paperwork was not done correctly for that and I paid way too much money for this car I am extremely disappointed.
