Pros:
Nothing went well with this rental.Cons:
the location i went to pick it up at was closed without explanation, and only after haggling with a regional manager on the phone did i get A car. I was given a smaller car than I reserved, which was not cleaned and had under a quarter tank of gas.2.0 Poor
Apr 2021
Pros:
I picked it up with less than 3/4 tank, and returned it with over 3/4 tank. You guys claimed I returned it empty and made me do the leg work on proving that. You sent me a receipt but then asked me to send it back to you as proof.Cons:
Stop your dishonest practices. You know there is a percentage of customers who won’t even pursue it, resulting in additional revenue for Hertz. But this comes at the expense of customers that do mind getting ripped off. I will not use Hertz again and will spread the word to my family and friends.Budget

Oct 2019
Pros:
The car was good for my needsCons:
I requested an airport rental when I searched and when I went to the Enterprise desk at the airport I was told that it was off site. When I asked if they could come close to the rate it would have doubled. I had to take a $22 Uber to get the off site location. Of course I had missed that this was off site rental, but I would think Kayak could have highlighted that fact when reserving since my search was for an airport rental. This way the customer agrees to and it calls attention to it.10.0 Wonderful
Aug 2019
Pros:
They initially called me 5 minutes before picking up my rental arranged online and told me there were no cars and to go go a different location (where the rates would be different, longer commute in rush hour). However, upon arrival, the team worked out an acceptable solution.Cons:
Online availability being accurate with the store and the 3rd party vendor who I used to book this car.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing after I reserved the car 2 weeks ahead of time or about I get there and find out that my debit card is not accepted because it's not a major credit card so now I was stuck in a city with no rental car it was actually quite disappointing!Cons:

Aug 2020
Pros:
I arrived before the rental center opened to pick up my vehicle, which was reserved several days ahead of time. I was to pick up at the 9 am opening. I was told by the counter person my vehicle was not there yet, and I would need to wait. She was very nice, to be clear. Then, after waiting for 20 minutes, I was told by the same woman that my car (a special 12-passenger van needed that day for a family trip) could not be found, and no one at any Avis ops center could help, and/or did not return her calls or texts. I continued to wait while she made calls as line volume permitted. She finally learned that the previous renter had not returned the vehicle and I would have to wait until at least 11. I asked for a substitution and got little help, so I walked down the street to Enterprise and they had the vehicle I was looking for, with a price match. After a 90 minute wait that meant missing other pickup appointments and delaying my family’s trip for nearly two hours, I was on my way - with a van from a competitor. Thanks for nothing, Avis. I will be going down the street to Enterprise from now on.Cons:
Pretty much everything.4.8 Mediocre
