I went to Hertz and pick up car but they didn’t let me rent it. I need my money back. They said I need to use same card when I purchased from you guys but I payed with Affirm and they didn’t accept my card.

Pickup was delayed by 1 1/2 hrs. even though we had a set time. Dropping off though was terrible. The Clayton, Missouri site was to close by Saturday/noon. We got there at 11 am only to find the place closed. Instructions on the door stated to drop off original receipts and key in the drop box. Problem - there were only three parking spaces available and they were all filled! The 1-800 number for assistance is a terrible phone tree without an option to leave a message. We ended up parking on the city street and hoping the car wouldn't be ticketed. We had to wait until Monday morning to confirm that they had found the car (we had left a note to its whereabouts). This is our second bad experience with Hertz. The people at the desks are just fine but the company policies are not customer friendly.

I had a reservation, showed up to pickup the vehicle.. No cars available. Sat and waited 3 hours for a car. Was told if no cars showed up before they closed I would have to come back in the morning. The guys at the counter were nice, customer service was completely useless. I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER rent from Hertz again. EVER

the caucasian male with black short hair and black stubble at the counter is defrauding the customers for extra expensive car insurance, even if you already bought car insurance while booking from hertz. check your receipt for FIVE times when it’s printed out and don’t leave the parking lot. this was never happened in the past three years.

Be ready for a long wait to pick up the car. There were 5 people in front of me in line. It took just over an hour.

I've got the car from Rentalcars.com who is the agent booked the car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I was paying for a luxury BMW X5 or similiar and didn't get it. Instead, it was a value-oriented SUV. I feel cheated and am very disappointed at the arrangement from Rentalcars.com . They seems to be Indian run company based in UK.

No washer fluid in car after significant snow fall. Could not wash road salt spray off windshield while driving, created very dangerous situations multiple times. Could not add fluid myself because sold out at gas stations. Enterprise should not have rented me this car in this condition

They didn’t have the car I reserved, which was a disappointment. They gave me a choice between a Lincoln Navigator (aka the largest car ever) or a car so tiny it wouldn’t fit our luggage. At first I picked the Navigator, but it freaked me out to drive and I knew the gas money to drive it would be insane so the next morning I took it back and they let me exchange it. I ended up getting a BMW 330I which was not actually very comfortable but it was definitely a better option than the previous two options they gave me. We spent 10 days driving the car from Seattle to San Diego and it’s not the best car for a road trip as it’s not very roomy up front and there’s no place to set food and stuff, but the gas mileage was great and it’s a dream to drive/handle

Did not have the model that I reserved. Had no similar or better. Would not change pick-up to earlier time. Provided sub compact for short term (1 day of original 8 day) so we could get to our destination and "swap out" for our original model. Unable to find "reserved" size vehicle at final destination for original cost. Alamo "800" staff could not help. Not the start to our trip that we expected.

Rental location in Seattle was confusing to get to. Once we figure out where to go they almost gave us a car with expired tags. Check in process was very long. Second car they gave us was never inspected or walked through with us. The car play function with is what we needed would constantly go off and on (tried multiple phone cables, phone projection/Bluetooth separately with no success) which made it extremely difficult to use for our West Coast drive from Seattle to San Francisco.

The lady that helped me was extremely nice from picking up the car and even dropping off (we ran into her in the streets). She was super accommodating even though the car I selected was not in the lot. She assured me that it was going to be a similar car and I was able to choose from a couple. We bonded super well and I loved my experience because of the customer service I had received from her.

Good: When our flight time was moved up unexpectedly, National was flexible in allowing us to return the car at another location. We appreciated this so much! Bad: Pick up was tedious as the location we originally rented from was small and seemingly understaffed. One guy had to take care of everyone in line - it took well over an hour.

Will NEVER RENT FROM THIS SEATTLE LOCATION AGAIN! my assigned pick up time with 12 noon. I get there at 11:30, there’s about 20 people standing in a line. There are two windows for pick up. I get in the back of the line, and I start to hear conversation from others that have been waiting for two hours at this time. By the time I picked up my car, it was 2 o’clock. It was in a parking garage, and it was 90° day. Absolutely will not ever rent from thrifty in Seattle again.

Pick up was a nightmare- at least 100 people in line, while only 2 people working the counter. Next door Hertz was almost as bad (Thrifty is apparently owned by Hertz). Waited 1.5 hours in line to get the car I had already reserved and paid for. Will actively avoid Thrifty and Hertz for future rentals.

Our car was given away because we were a day late to pick it up due to a delayed flight and their closure time. We were told the only option was renting a luxury vehicle and paying extra, despite having already paid for our rental in advance for 6 days. It was not until we pointed out this was poor business and spoke with a manager and insisted that we would not be paying for a luxury vehicle we didn’t need, that were given a normal vehicle. We were still charged about $30 more than what kayak stated we’d be charged at pickup. Thrifty said this extra charge was a “hotel fee” for the building in which they were located. We were given no advance notice of this fee.
