Staff was okay, but a couple of the company policies made it difficult to work with. Didn't feel like they were going the extra mile to try and resolve our issue.

Hertz does not give the customer an option for reaching a human being by phone. My drop off location was Saberton WV. The hours posted online were till 5pm (Wed). From noon Wednesday, I had no option to reach a person (customer service) to ask a question regarding drop off. When I called the online 800# and the number on the business card provide, the outgoing recording looped around for extending the rental and provided no option for a live human. I arrived at the drop off at 3:45. The location was locked up with no key drop box option. I left the car with the key in it. I have no way to contact this office, because of the way the phone line works.

Terrible service. Had a car booked online and they called a few hours later to say they had nothing available and would call me as soon as they did. I never heard back from them.
