Was there 45 minutes after rental pickup time due to baggage/plane. Tried to charge me double price. Didn’t have my car and upgraded me to minivan. Which was my friends minivan right behind me. Had to rent another car from Hertz since they screwed us and had to pay 3x amount. BS!10,0 Wonderful

Dec 2019
Pros:
They existCons:
They gave my car away to another customer despite having a reservation. Then threatened to charge me over $1,500 for my one-way rental that was less than $300, because they didn't have any cars that were designated for one way. The reason they gave for my car not being available was that there was an error in their computer system that gave away too many of the one-way rentals and could not care less about my situation.8,4 Very Good
Apr 2019
Pros:
Staff was friendly and efficient. Drop off separate from airport terminal so best to drop off all luggages before returning car.Cons:
If pick off can be at the same location as pick up, then it is just across the street from terminal.Hertz

The office called me 20 minutes before my 8am pickup time and told me they had absolutely no cars. This was a huge problem because I was going to business meetings with the car.

Everything. This was the most messed up situation. I was late to pick it up. So they gave away my reservation and kept my prepaid booking. Would not refund me or provide a car without making an entirely new booking.6,0 Okay
Mar 2019
Cons:
The staff was not present for pick up. We waited about 15 minutes for the staff to return then left to run other errands for about 45 minutes. Upon our return we waited an additional 15 minutes for the staff to return. A 60 minute wait is unacceptable.2,0 Poor
