This was a truly horrible experience! I reserved this rental van months ago to get a call 3 days before we leave for vacation saying there are no vans available! I paid for the booking and the website allowed me to do so. The young lady that called me was less than helpful and not very friendly. I then called to billing number to be told "We will waive the cancelation fee this time since you are outside of your cancelation period.". EXCUSE ME! I did not cancel, yall canceled my rental then seemingly are upset that I called for my $837.25 back! I will no longer be doing any business with Hertz. It is not the fact that there was no rental van available, it's the way this entire situation was handled! Luckily my traveling partners were able to make travel accommodations or else we would have been out thousands due to not being able to make it to our destination! Absolutely ridiculous and unsatisfactory!

My experience with Hertz was awful. I never ended up getting the car I reserved and the woman who worked the counter was supremely unhelpful.

The girl in Lafayette where I rented the car was extremely nice. The Hertz people in Nashvlle when dropping the car off were extremely RUDE. The car was ok not super comfortable but ok. The rAtes are outrageous. Also, I paI’d ahead for the car with a major credit card. You guy putting another $200 hold on my acct for days is unacceptable. I had already paid for the car. Ridiculous and I don’t like being told that AFTER I’ve already rented the car. I have insurance. No reason to do that.

Liked: Upgraded me without much fuss to Mini Van, since they didn't have my reserved Full Size SUV. Disliked: Didn't have what I had reserved, even after confirmation e-mail was received from them the day before. Had to wait in line for at least 45 mins before I was able to be helped with my reservation/pick up. Flights didn't change, plans didn't change, but some how the reservation was only til Noon my day of departure and they charged me about $200 more for the "3 hr late turn in."

The staff was friendly and helpful. Pick up and drop off was easy.

I thought it was pricey but it was the cheapest option, so could just be that I don’t rent card very often.

They need to make it explicitly clear (online and at rental kiosk) that they do not accept Debit cards so we don’t wait an hour in line at the airport only to find out that I can’t rent a car when I finally speak to the employee.

Drop off experience was not smooth. No one available to ask questions. Drop off in Kenner was somewhat of a nightmare. Next time I’ll allow at least an hour extra time

The fact that Avis is reserving cars that they don’t have, especially through use of third party apps, makes traveling such a gamble. Waiting in line for over 30 minutes at your destination, just to be told there are no cars, is crazy! And then when a car comes in, during COVID, there’s are so many people waiting ahead of me, that I decided to take the car before it was cleaned. And cleaned it myself. Yeah, won’t be using Avis or Cheapflights after this. No other car rental had lines. Their parking lots were full of cars. So it wasn’t a lack of cars in general. The lack of coordination between the reservation systems of Avis and Cheapflights was the problem. When I was leaving town, there was a long line at the counter again. Crazy.

My vehicle was not cleaned before it was given to me. It was disgusting inside and outside. Additionally, one of the tires had a tire pressure issue (when it was issued to me) that required me to put air into it several times over the period I had the car.

Car was dirty with food on steering wheel and center counsel windows were so dirty I had to pull over and wife a circle so I could see out of it. Vehicle was supposed to be Covid-19 safety sanitized with a sticker and no such thing. Also I reserved a SUV and ended up in an Nissan Altima and told “oh well it’s all we have”

Kayak allowed us to book a car online, but when we went to pick it up we were told they had no cars available. We also waited in line for about 20 minutes while the very slow agent helped 2 customers before us...only then to be told no cars.

I really liked Neshanda (maybe I misspelled her name). Very helpful. Helped me get another vehicle since the mini van I reserved was not there.

I hate not getting the vehicle I reserved on line. You showed a mini van but that is not what I got. Why do you ALWAYS bait and switch? I do not think I have ever gotten the exact vehicle I have reserved. Why?????

Not much of anything about the rental.

Car was dirty in inside. Scratches all over outside of car. Brakes made noise because of a needed brake job, and the car had 40k miles on it. Worse rental I had in years.

People were friendly

I booked a Suburban or similar. Was called the day before and was asked if a mini van would be ok. I said yes. When we got there we got a Cheverolet Traverse. Not at all big enough for the people and luggage we had. Very disappointed!

Appreciated the confirmation call.

My pickup was scheduled and confirmed for 2:00 on a Saturday. I arrived at 1:55 and the business was closed for the day. I took a cab back to the airport and rented from a different agency.

I've rented cars several times from several locations, my best experience ever. In and out very quickly.

Location is very hard to get in and out of, traffic in Lafayette is horrible, but it was worth it.

Because my flight was late they had to move my reservation to the airport branch instead of the off the airport branch and I ended up having to pay about $50 more bucks. The counter clerk was nice, he tried to get me some discounts. But their drop off location is in a weird lot that has you walk through the side of the airport and there is no one there to hand the keys to. So you go to the same counter you got the car from and of course they ask what your mileage was, like I know?
