Excellent pickup location. Pick up provide no assistance in locating the car in huge lot. Absolutely no review of new vehicle controls, equipment and safety features. Could not operate cruise control safely, could not locate gas panel release for filling. No delivery of vehicle to customer after long day of travel. Safety and comfort of customer driving a brand vehicle of no concern to rental agent.

I wanted a full size SUV as I have PTSD from an earlier accident I was in and cannot be in a smaller vehicle. I did not get the vehicle I reserved and the vehicle I got was smaller than I wanted. After I started my journey the reduce oil level light came on. It took well over an hour to get someone on the phone then when she answered I was mysteriously cut off. I tried to open the hood with no luck. I googled how to open the hood and still could not get it open. Later on I was in snowy conditions and I ran out and windshield was so messy I had a very scary ride. I stopped at a garage and they couldn’t open the hood either to check the oil and fill the washer fluid. To top it off the wipers made the most awful noise as they skipped across the windshield. The wonderful young man working for you did discount my rental but this did not change the horrible experience I had worrying about the engine oil light repeatedly coming on. And not being able to see driving at night with no washer fluid in a snow storm. I’m sorry to say the car ruined my experience.

The estimate price when I did reservation is $46/day. I rent out the car 1 day, returned te car on time, with full tank of gas and no damage on the car body. But I was supprised when checking my credit card, you guys charged me $100/day in total. I have no receipt, no e receipt too. No explaination why the price is so high. I would NOT recommend this service to my friends next time!

Mediocre|Aug 2023

the car was quite dirty, especially on the inside. the fuel indicator said the tank was full, but it wasn't entirely full so when I added gas I spent more than I should. when I brought the car back, although the return was scheduled for 3pm and I delivered it at 2:56pm, they still tried to charge me $81 for 1h late fee, since the pick-up time was 2:47pm. even so, it's just a 10 min extra. I had to go back to the store where they said there is actually a 30 minutes grace period for returns and the clerk removed it from the charges, but still they shouldn't even have tried to charge me that in the first place. clearly they try that with anyone and if you don't pay attention you'll end up paying for something you shouldn't.

First of all, I was given a car that did not fit the description of the car in the category I rented and therefore I could not fit my luggage in it. I then had to pay for an upgrade which I was not happy about, but I did not have a choice as my parents and I were needing to drive a further 2 hours to our destination, and it was late. When I got the next car, it was dirty inside and had quite a lot of marks and scrapes on the wheels. I was told to take pictures of the damage (I did). When I was driving it, I noticed that the service overdue and engine oil lights were on, but it was too late to go back. I had two tyers blow while I was driving, which the tyer repair place said was caused by the damage on the rims. I had to pay for the two new tyers and budget were not prepared to reimburse me for the cost. We could have been killed if I had been travelling any faster. Although I have pictures of the damaged rims, they are saying that the car was not damaged when it was rented to me, even though I have pictures on the day. I am disgusted with budget.

If the company had a policy of showing 2 government id’s with pictures then that should be announced clearly in all communications before we go to pick the car ( having it on a piece of paper on the wall printed by staff is not enough) . so we don’t end up having arguments between staff and customers . when I picked the car the staff were Impolite and unprofessional.

TERRIBLE SERVICE. I had an incredibly disappointing experience with you that has completely turned me off from ever using their services again. From the moment I arrived to pick up the car, the customer service was disorganized, unhelpful, and downright rude. I encountered long wait times despite having a reservation, and the staff showed no urgency or concern for the delays or my situation.

Hertz didn't have the minivan we wanted. They tried to contact us but you didn't provide contact information for them. They "upgraded" us to a giant SUV we didn't want, which wasn't even available. In the end we rented a Tesla instead. The whole thing was a colossal mess. I'm never renting through you again.

I have rented a from the a few times now. They are a little farther out of the way compared to the immediate rentals from the airport, but they provide a shuttle service and they are cheaper than most. The car was very clean and new, they even gave us a complimentary upgrade. They were also very flexible with us extending our rental by another day after we had picked up the vehicle. Will rent again.
