The most important thing to be aware of is that driving is restricted in various city center regions at certain times of the day.

From there, you can take a bus to the city center.

This Hertz franchise closes at 4 p.m on weekdays. My reservation was made for 4p. You can imagine my surprise when arriving at 410p and finding that they were closed!

Pros:

Staff at pickup was helpful and friendly. Staff at dropoff were really helpful - he gave me a heads up about a pet cleaning fee when he saw dog hair in the back. He gave me the chance to vacuum and clean to avoid the fee. Dropoff was really quick. The pre-paid gas was a good deal.

Cons:

The car smelled like tobacco and the backseat had some crumbs. It was a little pricier than expected.

Pros:

Once it was my turn, the key hand over process was quick. But there was one person working there and it was not an efficient system if you’re waiting in line.

Cons:

My car had bitten off fingernails inside every cup holder and door handle space .... NASTY

Pros:

The car was absolutely disgusting. I asked the staff that was scurrying me out the door if the car had been cleaned and sanitized as we are in the middle of a pandemic. He not only told me that it was clean, but that they used bleach. Complete and total lie! I wish I could post the pictures of the interior that I have on my phone. Not only did the vehicle appear to not have been cleaned in a decade, there were several items found in the back that must have belonged to the previous renters. Car spray to cover up marijuana stench, phone charger, etc...The staff was hurrying me out the door the second that I walked in and juked me into paying an extra $175 worth of insurance and damage waivers that he told me was absolutely necessary, which I found out later was not. Lies. I booked through Kayak and my total was $279. Received a bill for $481. I booked the car reservation on Kayak for a 9pm drop off on a Saturday. While at the Hertz, he entered a drop off on Saturday by noon. I looked at him and specifically stated that I have a reservation through Kayak stating a 9 pm drop off, not noon. He looked at me and said "Don't worry, I will be here all day and night Saturday. I don't want to have to go in and change it in my system. Don't worry, I'll honor your 9pm drop off." Guess what? No one was there when I dropped the car off at 4:30pm. I was charged an additional late fee. I cannot believe this place is still in business. I will never rent from this company again. I will pay any extra amount that I have to for a decent car and experience. Be very warned. They are not honest at this Hertz in Ann Arbor MI. Total crooks.

Cons:

Everything. Or at least, a little honesty. Crooks.

Cons:

Location refused to honor reservation claiming I "didn't qualify" to use a debit card. Evidently location ran a (soft) credit check without disclosure or consent. I would recommend enterprise, especially if using a debit card

Pros:

not much. The car itself was fine. Reasonable gas mileage. Drove easily, but that was more on the car maker than on avis. I appreciated there being an ice scraper in the car, since it's snowy in Michigan, but I would've been happier had those I'm paying bothered to clear the ice off for me.

Cons:

Everyone was very slow in the pick up, I had to ask for extras when usually they are offered (the employee clicked all "declines" when actually I wanted to pay for gas and he had to run all the paperwork again, which meant I was stuck indoors with others during the pandemic for longer than I felt comfortable). There were fries on the seats, pop cans under the seats, and a used mask in the car (again, it's COVID. I had to touch it to throw it away). When I finally go to my drop off location (I had paid extra for this location because it was near my home and I didn't want to have to take the subway, COVID!), I was told it was full. They refused to accept the vehicle, despite me telling them I had a contract to return it to that location. In the end I had to drive it uptown---I am not an employee, I shouldn't have to drive your property around---and add an extra half hour to my walk after a 13 hour drive. I'll never use AVIS again, and I intend to write a few negative reviews. I paid for this experience, it's ridiculous.
