Cons:

Advertised cars online and they showed 5-10 cars available and booked a cart. 5 minutes later, the manager calls to say they are cancelling the reservation as they have no cars, yet they charged my card for the supplemental insurance.

I ordered a car online. Confirmed it and prepaid the insurance. They called an hour later and said that they don’t have any cars. I’m more than an hour in trying to get the insurance refunded. Had to take Uber. Big hassle.

Staff there was extremely rude. They didn’t have any cars available at all and barely accommodated us. We were told to just “call corporate” no point in booking a reservation if the car isn’t there when you arrive to pick it up.

I was charged by Kayak for a rental car but when I arrive at hertz they had no cars. Please kayak return my money

I made a reservation and got dropped off at the hertz location. The guy in the office said they didn’t have any cars. I showed him my reservation and he said it didn’t matter and they didn’t have any cars available and everyone in the office was sick. I’m not sure how that affects the number of cars but it certainly made me feel uncomfortable. I asked what Hertz policy is to help someone dropped off with a reservation and no cars available and he said “nothing, read the fine print.” I went to Avis down the road and had a wonderful experience and even for a free upgrade for less than the hertz quoted rate.

Pros:

Flight delayed my pickup by 2 hours. At 2 pm the office was closed and no one answered the phone number on the door. I never did get a car - had to Uber the whole weekend. Still awaiting a refund.

Cons:

DO NOT rent from Hertz at this location!

KAYAK

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

Hertz modified my reservation dates without informing me. Essentially I would have to return the car by Sat noon (Fri 6pm pickup) instead of Monday 6pm, so the entire trip (4h5 drive each way to VT) became pointless and I had to cancel. Worse, because of Memorial Day Weekend all other rental cars were sold out and I wasn't able to travel at all, and lost my downpayment of $272 for lodging.
