Pros:Nothing. Told me they didn’t haven’t care.Cons:Not being extremely rude, and announce they have the right to cancel my reservation at Hertz if they don’t have cars even though it said they do online. Multiple other car agencies said they do not have cars available. Hertz said they did and the man at the desk was very rude and unhelpful.Reviewed Oct 13 2020
