Pros:Noone was there when I dropped the car off. I found papertowel (used) in the car. Not acceptable at all given this is a Covid pandemic. I was told after I had booked the car that Costco members get a discount. The agents never really tell you about any features or benefits. When I showed up the woman was not there so I had to wait for her.Reviewed Nov 4 2020

Cons:When someone rents a GPS it should have instructions with it or the operation be explained. I could not get sound out of it and old address kept coming up. It was night time rain and it seems all the City is in Construction, and the GPS does not work very dangerous.Reviewed Oct 1 2019

Top tips for hiring a car from Hertz in Ottawa

  • If you choose to book Hertz car rentals in Ottawa, there are many different types of vehicles that you can select from, all of which work well for the area. For example, if you will be visiting during the winter months or travelling in a larger group, you may want to consider renting a van or SUV, as these larger models will give you extra space and also make it easier to navigate the region in snow or rain. If you will be mainly driving throughout the downtown alone, you may want to select an economy vehicle instead, as a smaller car will be easier to maneuver through tight streets and to park.
  • Those who book Hertz car rentals in Ottawa are able to take advantage of the company’s rewards program, called Gold Plus Rewards. It is free to join Gold Plus Rewards, and having an account through this program will provide you with certain perks, including the ability to earn points every time you book a car with Hertz. You can then use these points to receive discounts on future rentals. Additional benefits include being able to skip the line when picking up your vehicle and returning it.
  • When you book Hertz car rentals in Ottawa, you will benefit from the company’s famous customer service. Ever since the company was founded, Hertz has received numerous awards for its customer service, including Best Domestic and International Car Rental Company. Those who choose to rent from a Hertz agency can rest assured that an employee will be present to help with whatever they may need during the experience.
  • If you are interested in embarking on a long road trip, keep in mind that Hertz allows its customers to drive their rental vehicles across the border into the United States. If you plan on doing this during your trip, make sure to let your rental agency know well in advance, as you will likely need to fill out additional paperwork and potentially pay for extra coverage due to driving internationally.

FAQs about hiring a car from Hertz in Ottawa

  • What are the best pickup locations for Hertz car rentals in Ottawa?

  • Am I able to pick my own Hertz car rentals in Ottawa, or will I be assigned a vehicle automatically by the rental agency?

    When you book a car rental through Hertz, you will be prompted to select the general model of the car that you are interested in receiving. However, you are not guaranteed to receive the exact make or model that you specified, as it depends on what is available at the agency at the time of booking. If the model that you requested is not available, you will be provided with something that is comparable in that vehicle category.

  • Do I have the option of having my Hertz car rental delivered directly to me, or do I need to pick it up myself?

    If you are unable to pick up your rental car yourself for whatever reason, you can always benefit from the Hertz Neighborhood Delivery service. This service allows for you to have your car rental delivered to an address of your choice, whether it be a private residence, hotel, or business. This is a convenient way for you to receive your rental car, and you do not have to pay an additional fee in order to benefit from this perk.
