Hertz customer service in Sanford downgraded my vehicle, Hertz Corp customer service was completely lost trying to help resolve the issue, and Hertz charged an additional $76 upon return with no indication why. Gas was 100%, car returned on time to the location stated, and no tolls or other charges used. When I demanded an invoice of charges, they kept providing the same one with the $29 fee and $200 hold.

From customer service being not the greatest. The car smelled bad, not sure if it was the air fresher they use or what but it did not smell good, the whole experience was inconvenient. Just not a good experience with Hertz

Location closed before stated hours. Had to drive 45 min to get to an airport location that was open. They then charged me for the extra time it took to drive to the airport location.

Seems very deceptive. They didn't have my car when I went for pickup and alternatively offered me another vehicle that was much more expensive. This seems to be a tactic of their of manipulating customers into higher prices who are stressed for time. I ended up walking out of there, walking down the street, and took my business to Enterprise, who took care of me in a matter of 5 minutes. Never going back to Hertz.

Able to check in and return online, so there was no waiting.

The credit card hold took 3 business days to be released back to my credit card. That is way too long.

2,0 Poor
3 hour delay getting the car despite a reservation and checking in online. Ridiculous overbooking which is entirely the fault of Hertz. Terrible customer service trying to return the car (missed drop off window because of previous delay). Inconsistent information about return location and processes.

Pros: Free water bottle refill machine inside the Hertz. Allowing pickup of "manager special electric car" a few hours earlier before .appointment,. Cons: Does not allow any refund if dissatisfied with car rental, no refunds of any kind for cars that are returned early. at the same time, charges full day rental price. extra $11 USD charge for electric car prepaid charge up at Hertz counter. Counter staff lied about electric car range (says it was 200 miles, was dashboard display was only 130 miles range on 80% charge during highway high speed dirving). Electric car is super slow trying to charge, takes over 5 hours to fully charge at ChargePoint stations. Also very limited spots and places for charging purely electric cars. After this experience, I will NEVER want rent an purely electric car again for any planned road trips longer than 50 miles roundtrip, no matter how cheaply it was priced (eg. ~25 USD per day). Eletric cars only seems to be good for very short trip.under 50 miles total.
