Cons:

The process of using a debit card and their verification demands are just a bit over the top in my opinion.

Pros:

Staff were courteous. Car was spotless and worked well. Site easily accessible.

Cons:

Limited hours required me to make arrangements otherwise when my flight came into Johnstown at 7 pm. THERE WAS NO RESTROOM IN THE SHOP FOR CUSTOMERS, A SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE FOR TRAVELERS.

Anonymous, Sep 2021

Overcharged. Charged me for extra insurance when I specified liability only. Did not list costs of additional insurance on vehicle, only mentioned cost of liability. He said nothing could be done and thought I said “insurances”, when I specified “liability insurance only”. I will call both Hertz and Kayak to refund the extra charges on this ridiculous rental. Also, I’ve never been charged $1000 as a security deposit from Hertz. They stated it has to be that high because I don’t have auto insurance. I don’t have a car, that’s why I don’t have insurance and specified I wanted liability only. Surprise bill and disregarding my intention to simply charge more. Ridiculous.
