It was a good experience for me. The price of $135 per day for sedan was more than I was planing to pay. I would be OK with $85 for one day. Thank you!Reviewed Apr 13 2024

Every time I have rented a car from Hertz at Union Station, there are never cars available at pick up time. There’s always a huge line of people who reserved but can’t get cars because none are available. They purposely overbook and when customers show up, the message is screw you, you can wait until a car shows up—and who knows when that will be.Reviewed Apr 11 2024

The drop-off was fine. The Pick Up was extremely disappointing. We arrived at Reagan National and went to pick up our Hertz rental car. Once at the counter the representative (she was very professional) informed me there would be a 90 minute wait time to get our car. I explained to her that we arrived "on time" and also spoke to her manager - explaining that we flew in that morning because our daughter in law was having her baby that same morning and could they please see if these special circumstances would help facilitate our getting a car - they were both very polite but flatly said no, they could and would not. We had to wait.. So...After 45 minutes I spoke to the people who provided the keys to your customers at the Hertz pick up spot and explained our dilemma. They were quite empathetic and helped us immediately in obtaining a car after that. I feel your team at the counter could have tried harder to help us out when I explained our dilemma. Again they were very professional, just unwilling to be of assistance when we had to get to the hospital ASAP. The bottom line to Hertz is... Will we use Hertz again when we return to the DC area next month? Probably not due to the experience we just had.Reviewed Feb 1 2024

The drop off location guy was very rude, aggressive, mean. I’m a renter I’m literally paying for his minimum wage I don’t deserve to be treated like he is doing me a favor. I hope you guys can do something about it.Reviewed Jan 12 2024

When making the rental, I didn't request an electric car. When I arrived for pickup, that was the only vehicles they had. I was taking a trip from DC to Columbia, SC. I've never driven an electric vehicle before. After getting a crash course, I was on my way. To make a long story short, charging the vehicle added on an extra 2 hours to long distance trip that I didn't plan on. Therefore, we were late to an event. When making the reservation, I had the opportunity to request an electric vehicle, but chose not to. I was given a description of a particular class of cars so that should have been available.Reviewed Nov 15 2023

They canceled my reservation the day of, even though I rsvp'd 20 days in advance. Will NEVER recommend this service to anyone, better to spend a little extra on a rental then be left in a hard place because of inventory mismanagement.Reviewed Oct 23 2023
