Renting a car for a few days should not cost as much as it does. I drove the car to my destination and back. The car did not move while I was at my destination.

Obviously, higher prices for rental cars was not appealing, but the overall experience was good. The actual Hertz location in Parkersburg, West Virginia, was professional and organized. That part of the process was outstanding. Car was clean and performed as expected.
