Cons:

The pickup location I was issued was a branch that had been closed down. No-one contacted to update me with the new pickup location. I found out when I arrived at the closed branch and saw the posted sign. They did not want to refund my additional Uber ride to the new location

Pros:

The car was clean on the inside and they made sure my phone was connected via Bluetooth before I left. Drop off was easy.

Cons:

They rented the car I reserved to someone else. They only had larger cars, small SUV, available. I needed the gas mileage for an 800 mile trip to help take car of my dad after a week in the hospital and 3 surgeries. I had even called the facility directly to make sure I could get on the road asap. Very frustrating. Why make a reservation?! As I dropped off the vehicle, someone else was being told they only had small SUV's left, do they even have smaller cars?

Everything went perfect with my car rental the entire trip. The only problem that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, which is making me leave a less than positive review, is that when I went to pick up the car I was charged a “Young Driver Fee.” While I am under 25, I had previously confirmed over the phone with an employee at the store that presenting my AAA membership card would wave the young driver fee. However when I land in Los Angeles to pick up my car, I am charged practically double what I expected. The employee at the counter informed me that because I “did not book the rental through AAA,” I would not qualify for the discount. Very unprofessional. My family has used Hertz for all of our vacations growing up, and now that I am taking my own trips I felt comfortable going with a company I knew. After this I may reconsider my loyalties.

I couldn’t get a car even though I prepaid. They said they don’t have a car due to shortness of cars. The second day still they didn’t have a car. Terrible experience. I will never rent from them again

The Chevy Bolt was a major hassle. Having an electric car without a charger as a rental is a very bad idea. I was told it was easy to charge and could use a "fast charge" station to do this. Even in Los Angeles this is not easy to do. I missed 2 appointments while trying to find a place to charge. I ended up in a mall walking around with my wife for an hour while the car was charging only to find out that after an hour it had only added 20 more miles to the car. I was able to find a fast charge but every one else is too- we had to wait 30 minutes just to use the station and then the "fast charge" took an hour to charge up to full. Never again will I rent an electric car or even have the desire to own one.

Customer service was terrible when picking up our rental. We Made a reservation to only be told they weren’t taking reservations for that day because they didn’t have cars to rent. We waited for an hour to get a car. The agent handling our reservation was very dismissive , rude, and overall unprofessional. There was lack of communication from the agent and simply came off with a bad attitude. Did not walk us through our agreement and simply wanted us out of her way.
