The car I reserved wasn’t available (small car) was given a massive SUV instead. Car was dirty on the outside and had a large scratch on the outside. My pickup time was for 12 pm and I arrived at 4 pm, and was told that they do not hold cars or guarantee the car reserved if you come after your pickup time (I could only select 12 pm on the site when booking).

Pros:

The New Haven staff member was not helpful. He did not explain to me additional charges that were added to my bill before he charged me and then was not helpful in helping me sort out a better course of action.

Cons:

The company could be more transparent about their fee structures online vs in the store. The company could make their workers feel more valued.

We received two faulty cars. The first was a breeze to exchange in Portland, ME. The second was incredibly dangerous and took us asking to speak with a a manager for our situation to be taken seriously and car of equal value to be provided. Overall we had a good experience.

The Hertz rental agent called 2 hours before pick up time notifying me that there is no service out of Hampden where I was scheduled to pick up. I had to find a ride to travel 25 minutes to pick up in New Haven Ct. The Hertz agent tried to sell me another insurance, claiming the insurance from third party (Price line) is not recognized by Hertz. Minimal assistance was offered to drive the vehicle out of the crowded lot. Very poor service experience.
