I had a confirmed rental, and was even called by a local agent the morning I was set to arrive to…read morereconfirm my reservation and arrival time. Well, after a full day of traveling I arrive to the airport only to see a dark National counter with a sign saying they are out of cars and to try Avis. Scenes of the classic Seinfeld episode started to play in my head... "I don't think you understand what a reservation means..." I show up the next morning per the sign, only to have an understandably frustrated counter agent notify me that she wasn't sure why her counterpart left early as there were cars in their inventory. If Keely hadn't been so understand and helpful, I'm sure I would have had a more scathing review. So for that reason... in the off chance Keely reads this..that extra star in the review is all for you. Use at your leisure.

Reservation for pick up at Helena airport at 11pm, so we have until 11pm to drop back off at end of rental. Get to the rental desk at the airport just before 11pm, no one in site! It says open 8-11:30pm. Not a single soul there. If they were going to close early, it would have been simple to call and inform us to pick the car up earlier? It would have been simple. Multiple phone numbers on the reservation, all ring through to the cell phone. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Terrible Customer Service. Actually NO customer service.

With their counter in the baggage claim area, picking up my car could not have been easier. The…read moregentleman behind the counter did not try to press me into buying their insurance or gas or an upgrade that I did not need. My credit card (Chase Sapphire Preferred) covers me as primary insurance, I'm going to return it full, and the midsize that I reserved is fine. The car, a Toyota Corolla was right where he said it would be. Clean, full of gas, and ready to go. I could not be more satisfied with Hertz at HLN.

The kiosk was closed with a sign saying they were closed when there website said 12am and a sign on a counter saying open til 12am.

I didn't quite hear what he said so I ask what it was and he ignored my question. Since I had never heard it called transit before I ask him what he meant by transit van. The Budget guy literally rolled his eyes, gave me attitude in his face/tone of voice and just said "it's a transit van and because we book last minute that's all they had left". I honestly didn't care that it was a van was just looking for clarification. Couldn't believe my question was that much of a problem but I guess this guy missed the memo on polite customer service.

We also rented a cooler and it was well worth the rental fee. Food is scarce in Yellowstone so picking up food in Bozeman and then storing it in the cooler was a good move. The cooler kept everything cold for 5 days and I only had to refill the ice once! I definitely recommend using them to rent a car instead of the big rental car brands.
