I asked for a car with GPS. First, I got one without. Only cars with GPS were large SUV. So, I got Ford Expedition for a very reasonable price. Mr. Dylan Jernigan was very professional and meet my request when was obvious that firtstly booked car did not have GPS.

Reserved a car at a specific location online to get there and be told they don’t have any cars and to wait. Another person walks in and they say they have no cars and won’t be getting any. I was flabbergasted that I was literally told something different 5 minutes earlier. We were then directed to another location across town in hopes of getting a car there.

Good and nice car, comfortable. But it was delivered to me with 3/4 gas, and that was an issue when I returned. Also, the return location closed before the arrival time entered during the reservation, I had to find another location and wasted a lot of time to return the car.

They did not have a regular gas car like we had reserved, our only option was an EV. We were travelling to rural VA so finding a charger added significant stress to our vacation. The staff were polite, but not helpful and did not seem to care about our frustrations. Their suggestion was to try other rental companies (who were already fully booked).

Hertz ran out of cars, and the customer service was very slow. They did give me an electric vehicle, all they had left, and something that I didn't order/didn't know how to drive. I would be hesitant to book at this Hertz again because apparently they didn't have enough cars for all reservations.

Mediocre|June 2023

The staff was friendly and accommodated us when we wanted to change the type of car we had reserved. However, the location was terrible and no one answered the phone when I was trying to get directions. Google maps also had the incorrect location so we were walking around an unsafe neighborhood trying to find the car rental. The car we rented smelled like smoke, so we had to leave the windows open. At minimum, there should be more detailed information on the location of the car rental. There were multiple people who had the same problem.

I never got to rent a car with Thrifty. My booking was for collection in Washington DC in a central city location, when I got there a security guard informed me the Thrifty office had been closed for over a year. I called the help desk and the customer service agent on the phone said “our system says that office is still open, but I can see on google maps it shows ‘Permanently closed’… maybe go to the airport and see if they can help?” Which is pretty shocking from a corporate help desk. When I arrived at the airport they couldn’t help me and couldn’t hire me a car. So I went to Dollar instead. Would not recommend.
