Terrible. Cancelled my reservation. Lied about calling my number. Did not help me find another vehicle. Will never book with Hertz againReviewed Mar 23 2024

When we arrived at Oakland Airport to drop off the car, one of the workers saw that we were traveling with a toddler, a car seat and a lot of luggage. To save us the trouble of having to unload everything, carry it and wait for the shuttle, he drove us directly to the airport terminal in our rental car, and then returned the car for us. While this is not normally part of his job, he went above and beyond to help us. This made our day and was a great start to our Christmas holiday.Reviewed Jan 10 2024

The Hertz company has a very poor standards (don’t want to use worst words). They only kept my reservation for two hours, unfortunately they didn’t specify it at the time of booking, and don’t respect flight delays. Also “extremely” poor service.Reviewed Oct 6 2022

Top tips for hiring a car from Hertz in San Jose
- When you book Hertz car rentals in San Jose, California, due to the combination of cosmopolitan cityscape, mild weather, and spacious city conditions, you have a broad selection of suitable automobiles to select from. Neither a classic sedan nor SUV would seem out of place or too boxy for road conditions. And with Silicon Valley’s tech-first culture, electric vehicle chargers are just as common (if not more common) as gas stations, so travelers who want to avoid gas guzzlers can opt for an electric vehicle without inconvenience. Those traveling to the mountains nearby will also want to consider the winding roads and dirt paths in their travels.
- Hertz is one of the largest and most popular rental companies in the world, boasting one of the largest fleets of selections available from any provider.
