10.0 ExcellentApr 22 2017
Much better option than the places at the airportPros: No line .. they picked me up promptly & had me on the road in no time. No hassles, no problems. Had to extend 2x on the rental & had no problems. Have already recommended to 2 friends & would use again!
10.0 ExcellentApr 11 2017
Pros: Picked us up at the airport and drove us to the rental car pickup right on time. Car was basically brand new and super clean. Staff was friendly. They drove us back to the airport when we dropped the car off. I would totally rent from them again!
8.0 ExcellentMar 2 2017
Honest reliable service and a good pricePros: Our car was pretty dinged up with scrapes and even what looked like cigarette burns on the seat. The vehicle had close to 40,000 miles on it. We initially didn't see a rock chip on the windshield because it was raining and we thought we would get hassled about it. We did not. They were honest about the chip being there when we picked up the car. The car ran well, the shuttle service to and from the airport was on-time and friendly and the price point for this vehicle was very good. We would use them again.
10.0 ExcellentFeb 13 2017
Great service but it is located 10 minutes away frPros: Great service/price/car.Cons: Office not located at the airport. Have to get picked up by their van and drive about 10 minutes to their locating on the East Side of town.

2.0 MediocreMay 1 2021
Pros: Did not have car I ordered. Tried to get me to take smaller car. I refused. Was given a hard time by salesman and then he went away. Tried to speak to manager, was ignored. Staff very unfriendly. I had to leave without a car. Was a disaster. I went to Avis and was treated as a customer should be. Rented a car to my choice for 2 weeks.Cons: more honest treatment of a customer. A manager that would listen to my problem. A less hostile attitude. Have used Enterprise in the past, would never use again.

4.0 OkayApr 12 2021
Cons: Car was way below Hertz’ usual standards. May be due to car shortage but still disappointing
2.0 MediocreFeb 28 2020
Pros: The location was good.Cons: Horrible experience in Palm Desert Hertz. Terrible non-responsive customer service - Luis would never return a call, nor would the manager. Given a car with a smashed bumper and engine light on. Extra charges secretly added on. Go someplace else!
2.0 MediocreSep 28 2019
Cons: No vehicle was available at time of pick up. Ended up making other arrangements. Shouldn’t be able to reserve a vehicle if one is not available.
9.6 ExcellentJul 28 2019
Pros: Staff were friendly. Drop off was easy.Cons: The first car I picked up, I drove off and saw a "replace oil soon" light. It was reset but back on with restart. Staff was going to show me how to reset light each time. Sounds like a sensor issue. Got upgrade to SUV and it was a dream trip to Vegas via Mojave Desert.
9.2 ExcellentApr 22 2019
Cons: I had to walk a long way for pick up and drop off since it was at a large resort. Other than that, it was excellent.

4.8 OkayMar 27 2019
Cons: They gave me a mini van when I reserved a different car. I would have had to wait an additional 45 minutes for the car I reserved after I had already waited 30 minutes. I complained but they didn’t care. I won’t use Hertz again.

10.0 ExcellentJul 11 2020

2.4 MediocreAug 20 2019
Pros: Not too muchCons: Service of counter personnel. Car windows where smeared and cloudy.
8.4 ExcellentMay 13 2017
Pros: Was very good at pick up, and drop off , close to the airport, and the shuttle is convenientCons: They charge you too much for gas, almost more than I paid for the car rental, i used only quarter of tank, and they charged me $70. There is no specific way to measure the gas used, whatever the person who check the car decide what to pay, so I recommend to put gas before the drop off

2.0 MediocreJun 28 2017
Pros: Was able to secure a same day reservation through Kayak with ease when my car broke down.Cons: At Avis, manager said there were no cars available for my reservation. Said next time, I needed to plan further ahead. I explained I was renting out of neccessity not pleasure. He seemed put out by the fact that I needed a car. I cancelled and went elsewhere.
6.4 GoodAug 16 2016
Steering was offPros: 4 door, plenty of space, the pickup dropofff associate was very nice and efficient.Cons: On the freeway, the car drove very oddly. It was hard to keep the car straight; something with the steering or tires? There were moments when I was extremely uncomfortable on narrow stretches of high speed freeways. I explained to the associate upon dropoff and he attributed it to the size of the car. However, I have rented many economy sized cars and never felt that before. In the end, I would come back again to Avis but be more selective by test driving the car first.
