    Absolutely horrible. Online they say they're open on Saturday, the Omni says they're open on…read moreSaturday, Hertz employees are under the impression that they aren't open on Saturday. Returning my rental has been an hour long wild goose chase to another hotel that made dropping the car off almost impossible.

    This past weekend I rented a car from Hertz and it was the WORST experience I've had renting a car…read more I originally booked my reservation through Priceline a month in advance and when I printed out my itinerary the day before I noticed that the specific location did not take debit cards (and when I booked on priceline I used a debit card). I called the location and was told all I needed to do was add a CDP to my reservation and I should be fine as long as I provided two forms of ID. I was told to then call the corporate office to apply the CDP. Basically after two hours on the phone with multiple representatives at the corporate office I was told that they couldn't add a CDP to my reservation (and I wasn't given a reason why they couldn't) and that my only option was to cancel my reservation and re-book it with a credit card. To make matters worse I was told that their "system" wasn't capable of honoring the original rate that I had booked my reservation with (and there were no coupons that they could apply) so I forced to pay DOUBLE the rate I had originally booked. CLEARLY Hertz is a company who cares more about their bottom line than they do customer satisfaction. On top of all of this, I was told that I would be give a car with a full tank of gas and instead it was under halfway full. Upon returning the car (at 5/8's full) I was then charged an extra $15 because even though the car was under halfway full, they had marked that it was 6/8's full. Unfortunately I didn't realize this until after I had left so technically it is on me but that extra $15 adds insult to injury. Overall I had a terrible experience with Hertz and I can't see a reason to rent from them again.

I was on line for 10-15 minutes and when I pointed that out, he said "that's crazy". I asked him to come with me to pick up the car so we could verify scratches or dings, and he said "he already did that at drop off" And refused. I went down to pick up the car and when I opened the door the stench of weed hit me in the face. It was like someone hot boxed in there 10 minutes prior. When I went to tell the guy at the desk he said "we didn't have a cleaner this week and I can't clean it because they don't pay me to do that." I asked for another SUV, he said they don't have any others. I asked for a refund and he told me I had to call hertz because he doesn't do refunds. I walked away because I was getting mad and I had already told him his customer service sucked. He said "You're just mad because you had to pay". He followed outside shortly thereafter with a receipt for the charge for the late fee and I told him to "get the f away from me" Now I have to be on the phone with hertz to get the REST of my money back.

When setting up the rental they said they would pick me up from the car repair shop. I went later then I would have to go when they could deliver the car. After waiting for 30 mins for them to come and calling their phone with no answer. I called the insurance company to explain the situation and they were able to connect me. The Hertz employee explained they did not offer pick up service. I had to take an Uber to get to work meeting. Walked over there later and they did not have me listed on their rentals even though I talked with them earlier. They ended up finding it and I got the rental. It was not what I requested, since I asked for a sedan. The car crossover suv. Struggled to drive up hills and was a pain to drive.

When leaving work yesterday, an oil‑change light/sensor came on. My concern is why the vehicle was not properly serviced before being rented out. There have been multiple issues with this rental, and I am struggling to understand how it passed inspection. Enterprise needs to improve the quality and readiness of the vehicles provided to customers.

    My experience at the Enterprise location at 2301 Bladensburg Road, NE this morning was extremely…read moredisappointing. I reserved a compact vehicle the night before and informed the representative that I would arrive at 7:30 a.m. when the branch opened. At the time of the reservation, there was no indication that this would present any issues. Upon arrival, however, I was informed by the Enterprise representative, Mr. Danny Calder, that no compact cars were available and that only a Jeep remained on the lot. Although I was told I could take the Jeep at the same rate, I expressed concern regarding the comfort and practicality of driving a much larger vehicle. I also explained that if I was not comfortable with the Jeep, I would return to exchange it for the compact car I originally reserved. Throughout the interaction, Mr. Calder was noticeably nonchalant, impatient, and unprofessional. When I inquired about the 15% discount for rentals over three days--something I was instructed to request when making the reservation--he stated that he would need to cancel and rebook my reservation because it was "booked online." I clarified that I had spoken directly with a representative the night before and had not booked anything online. When he requested my ID and insurance, he handled the documents in a manner that appeared hesitant and uncomfortable, which further contributed to the unprofessional tone. I also asked about the federal government discount that I have consistently received in the past. He initially stated that they "don't do that," which is incorrect, and only applied a 5% discount after I presented my federal government ID badge.Despite having a reservation for an early pickup, I still had to wait for the Jeep to be cleaned, causing additional delays. This undermines the purpose of reserving a vehicle in advance to ensure a timely and efficient pickup. Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with the lack of professionalism, the failure to honor my reservation, the inadequate discount, and the overall customer service I received. Additionally, Mr. Calder did not assist with adjusting the seat or demonstrating basic vehicle functions--assistance that the Pentagon Police ultimately provided when I arrived at work. These are tasks that should have been addressed at the time of pickup but were not. This experience could have been handled far more effectively, and this location has significant room for improvement. This has been the most disappointing experience I've had with Enterprise. I picked up the vehicle this morning and drove directly to work at the Pentagon. On my way home--only about twelve minutes into the drive--the fuel light came on. It is unacceptable and unprofessional to provide a rental vehicle with virtually no gas. This issue requires immediate attention and corrective action.
