Originally they called me at my time of reservation to tell me they didn’t have a car available after making my reservation 3 weeks in advance and didn’t have an solution for me. Something did become available the next morning and they did try to make it better. It was only one person working so it took a while and delayed me getting on the road. The car I ended up with was nice and clean.

They had no cars to rent on my date of pickup. I was told to come back in 3 days. My rental contract was for 4 weeks (28 days) but since i could not rent the first 3 days i was charged now for the last 4 days. I was told at rental that i could extend my rental. I was renting because my car was being repaired. So 2 days before the contract was to end i called the local store who told me they did not have the authority to extend and that i must call Hertz 800 number. I spoke to someone i in the Philippines who told me they couldn't extend but the local could. Ultimately i purchased another contract for the same car. When i returned to the local to change contracts i was told the car i had been driving was already sold and i must change cars. There was another customer at that location who made a reservation months ago and told there were no cars for her to rent. Herz oversells continually.

Why would hertz say they would rent me a car and call me after the rental was reserved and tell me they didn’t have a car to rent me. They probably rented my reserved car to someone else for more money.

Took the vehicle to the Asheville, Hertz rental car return location at 9 AM. When the store opened no one was there I waited two hours and then had to leave had to pay a shuttle driver to return the keys later that day. In addition, the invoice I received included five days rental cost for one day rental. In addition, I spent two hours hours on the phone trying to contact someone at Hertz for information total run around Totally unacceptable I look forward to hearing from Hertz to resolve these issues and concerns. My rental contract number is 182634104

terrible customer service on trying to adjust to a new pickup spot. KAYAK and Smart Fare did not help by advertising a car from a location different than the Louisville airport where I was searching. But once misled, trying to adjust thru Hertz was nightmarish. The online gave me no option to rebook to the airport location. Customer service told me my Confirmation # was wrong then hung up on me. Trying to email only allowed 7-8 question choices about what my problem was; none of which applied. Cancelled (for $100) and went elsewhere. Will never book thru KAYAK, Smart Fare or Hertz again.

After a 1 hour drive to the airport for a one way car rental due to full flight I was told they had no car and wouldn't be getting any. There was a waiting list with over 20 people that had reservations for cars that weren't available upon arrival. The worse experience I've had in over 35 years in the airline business dealing with a rental. After calling Dollar the refused ti believe there was a car issue at that location.

We rented a car. The guy gave us a car with bald tires and 65,000 miles on it. When we said we weren’t taking that because it was unsafe he said well all I have are vans that haven’t been cleaned, but said pick one out. My husband picked one and then the guy started rudely asking why he wanted that one?? Then another couple had just reserved a car online and came right over and he didn’t have a car for them, but told them they could take the one he was going to give us and that guy said he was not taking the one with bald tires either. Unbelievable!!

I made reservations for a compact car. When I get there to pick it up it was not returned yet. He offered me a suburban as a “free upgrade”. I’m driving 6 hours, so that actually not free. I’ll pay more than I had planned in gas. I decided to wait the 45 minutes for the car to be returned. I go back to Avis ready for my compact car, but now there an error that the car can’t be routed in the direction in going. I ended up with a small SUV. I still spent more gas than I wanted, but I had to take it because there were no other options. The guy who help me was nice.
