Despite having a reservation, Hertz did not have any cars available at the time of my pick-up. Staff was rude and unhelpful about resolving, refusing to cancel my reservation.

Poor costumer service. Rude. No clear communication. Agent told us to they were going to let us know when our car was ready, but they gave our car to someone else and skipped our turn in the waiting list. Worst experience I have ever had renting a car. 1 Northside Piers, Brooklyn.

Car exterior was filthy and had only 1/8 tank of fuel. Return was confusing. When I dropped off the car exactly where it was picked up, I was told to move it up to an alternate location, less than 50’ away, under threat of being charged for abandonment.

I booked a car, was promised a good price, but when I arrived they said I can only have an EV (electrical vehicle) for this price. I said I booked a Gas car. They said, that if I want a Gas car I have to pay another $35. plus tax. I was VERY DISAPPIONTED. Also, the person at Dollar was very nasty towards me.

Good experience. The location is definitely in a "downtown" location near the Brooklyn Bridge, which made getting to the location and returning the car a challenge, but they company was easy to work with. I was upgraded, which was a nice surprise and perk. I recommend them!
