The only competent agent at this location is Lynda. I don't know how Hertz is still in business or why their agents don't receive adequate training. Won't be renting from them ever again! read more

Hertz Gardena are crooks they made a false claims saying the car that I was paying every week to drive for Lyft was stolen, How can I steal a car that I was paying for every week to continue driving for Lyft? Then on top of that they used my email for another location out of state from where I'm from. That sees like to me they shared my information and allowed them to use my information to help a total stranger then the threaten me with police. Stay away from this location. read more

Just picked up a car, the one I was assigned had a freshener left in it, I get awful headaches from stuff like that. I didn't want to be the person to have to go exchange my car but Chelsea made it so easy and didnt make me feel like I was being extra. Shes an awesome employee and I will rent from this location again because of HER. read more

I had a great experience, the representative, her name is Chesea, really helped me get a car that matched my needs and was very detailed in her explanation to my questions. I really appreciate it as it's my first time renting a car. read more

Love this place for all my rentals... great custom er service and great prices.. don't forget your AAA discounts... they help a lot ;)

I could understand if someone who rented it didn't return it , it wouldn't be their fault but the other Hertz didn't bring the pick up I reserved a week ago for my husbands birthday. I had it reserved for 9 am and they say It won't be here till 12. Un real they could have called us. So the guy is going to go pick one up at another my er location.The guy said he didn't know what shape vehicle will be in. Dirty or what not. I'm like don't care as long as it's not damaged. So he went to get me one. I appreciate that but why couldn't this have already been done or they call me so I didn't have to lose sleep. I could be sleeping. I work graveyard. I got up so I didn't lose the rental an it wasn't even ready. They could g have called. Damn. No compensation whatsoever an I didn't have it cleaned so they saved time right there wow. Then he finally gets it back an it takes forever for it to get out back in the system at their location. He emailed them an no response. Wow. The Hertz guy is doing everything he can buy this system is so not cool. I could have had reservations for my hubby's birthday. We had plans today they already got pushed back. read more

horrible place very unprofessional have no cars to rent always have to send out or go pick up a car before they let you rent it smh never go here again!! read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! The little old lady in the front is a REAL PIECE OF WORK. Very rude and condescending and she has no idea what she's doing...reserved a car through the website and went to pick it up and was told all the cars were reserved for LYFT ...how sway? I have a reservation...FOH. I left ...do yourself a favor and go up the street to ENTERPRISE they are friendly and accommodating! If I could give negative zero stars I would!! TWO THUMBS DOWN for the fat lady at the counter and her dumpy supervisor! I'm calling corporate too! read more

The absolute worst. Short staffed and no knowledge of their own internal systems. Gave me a rental with a dead electronic system that didn't work at all including AC, needed an oil change, and had a low tire. They admitted they didn't check it before they gave it to me. The answer was "our bad but it's prepaid." The wait was over an hour to pick up the car and over 30 minutes just for drop off. The manager is rude as well read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. The price they give you when you make a reservation is not the price when you get there. All of a sudden the price is much much higher than anticipated. I've had problems with this location before. It's my fault for continuing to come back here because I knew they were horrible. I won't make that mistake again read more

Thank you Maria for assisting me yesterday with my rental , gave me great customer service.

I don't usually right bad reviews unless it's really bad. So frustrated!! We rented the mini van from LAX Hertz, drove maybe 20 miles and the check engine light came on. Went to the nearest Hertz's location thinking they would help us since it is the same company. Nope!! Of course any vehicle that could fit us was reserved (so they say) and so we had to take out all our luggage cause the tow guy arrived. Instead of getting a suitable vehicle over to us, my husband had to take a Lyft back to Lax. They did not provide a Lyft that could fit all of us, and our luggage. I had to stay back with Four kids. We were suppose to be down at our destination around 4. This wasted our day!! Won't be using them again read more

This facility sucks... DO NOT USE THIS FACILITY... I made a reservation online only to find out that they don't have any in their lot... and they want me to wait a minimum of 2 hours before they can find me one... what's d use of online reservation??? Lady in d reception was just saying it like it's nothing... not even an apology for the inconvenience... went to enterprise and they gave me what I need... UPDATE: 9/9/20 Booked online since enterprise didn't have the van I needed... this time I called to verify if they had what I wanted... spoke to Hector and he was really nice and helpful... unfortunately same lady from before received us at the counter JOHANNA... acted all pissed when I asked her a question... I didn't want to ruin my day so I just let it go... but d car was not even ready... car wash still needed to be done so we had to wait another hour... she really needs to leave this place... no apologies or anything from her.. not even a smile... I swear I'm never coming back to this place again... read more

Hertz Rent A Car - Car Rental Near Me - Gardena, California

The most incompetent group of people! Honestly not sure how this location is even operating or making any profit. There are never enough employees, do not expect to spend anything less than an hour and a half here with an appointment. Need a same day rental no sir not here! Even tho their system will allow you to do so. You would think a manager would go through his/her list of appointments for the day while ensuring he has enough vehicles and would call those same day appointments to tell them he can't accommodate you. I guess hertz allows anyone to be a "manager" read more

Staff was friendly which is why I gave two stars but I simply cannot give more than that. I asked to be picked up from my mechanic at a specific time and they said they could not do so until I was ready to be picked up. The representative who I spoke with told me to call one hour ahead of time, and this was clearly wrong. I had to be dropped off by someone else to not lose one hour of my time (minus one star). When I arrived to pick up the vehicle, it was just returned and dirty. I requested another vehicle and was told I would have to wait thirty minutes or more for a clean one. (minus one star). As soon as I got into the vehicle, I noticed it smelled like cigarettes. I told the lady and she said she has already noted it. This is a non-smoking vehicle and I do not smoke. Extremely disappointed. I left because I don't have another hour to spend waiting for a clean vehicle. (minus one star). This was my first time using Hertz and likely my last. read more

Phenomenal customer service provided via Hertz Representative, Miss Johanna and staff! So grateful for their patience and professionalism, and the quality car rented! Definitely had a stellar experience that left me with an upmost peace of mind! read more

I know I was there early in morning but if you have issue with working with people you shouldn't work in the front office. older lady has an attitude problem seem like it was with everybody that pulled up I couldn't even respond I just had to walk out very bad customer service. read more

Don't rent from Hertz. They will have you arrested for stealing the car you just rented. They have a big civil lawsuit against them for having people arrested when you rent the car. read more

Hertz Gardena....let's go....FOR RACISM! So, I will be fair, as the staff was courteous. When I arrived for my reservation, I was told that they only had a dirty car available. They refused to upgrade me to an SUV that they clearly had available. So instead of leaving on vacation, I had to take the car to a car wash and spend an hour at the car wash. I guess COVID19 protocols are an after thought. After spending an hour at the car wash, had to fill the empty gas tank. I called corporate and they told me to check with the Gardena branch, for a discount. When I got back I asked the manager, Chris, for a discount. No discount was offered, but I was instead given a $25 voucher for their poor COVID19 protocols. As he proceeded to speak Spanish to his associate, I was issued the voucher. Luckily, as an educated black man, I could understand every word. Abhorrent treatment ! read more

Time say close at 6pm but associate locked door at 5. Had I known after I called the place, I would never had bot Just changed from 1 to 4 star. Associate helped me out anyway. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. HECTOR is very rude and very dismissive. I do not appreciate the way he rudely dismissed me while asking a simple question. I was given a rental car with expired tags and simply wanted either a yellow 2020 sticker or a different rental car with up-to-date tags. The employees at this establishment need to take a few classes on customer service. The way they talk to their customers is intolerable. I will make sure that I NEVER rent a car from this establishment ever again. read more

Only wish they were open Sundays. Other than that I like the service and vehicle options.

This is the best Hertz location I've dealt with! I went to the Hertz location in Lomita to get a rental car after a car accident and they had the smallest selection of cars... I have a fully loaded Prius and they couldn't even give me a car with a backup camera. I even called them a couple days later to get a different car because I felt unsafe and they were not understanding and could not accommodate my needs. However, Gardena's Hertz has an amazing selection of cars. Both times I came for a rental car, I asked for a car with a backup camera and they had so many! I rented out a 2017 Ford Fusion for a week and then a 2017 Volkswagen Jetta. I was so impressed that all of their cars were fairly new. Service was also very good. They were able to pull up my reservation, examine the car, and hand me the keys really fast! I would recommend coming here if you want a decent rental car and great service. read more

I had an excellent experience with this location. from A-Z. Oscar was very cordial and accommodating. on top of their professionalism I overheard they were giving another customer a ride back home, so I asked and they accommodated me. Keep in mind to be patient if your dropping off/picking up during rush hour., Good customer service takes time. Thanks guys for awesome service. I intent to come back, Rented from 6/8 thru 6/11. read more

Came in this morning and I greeted and treated with respect. The staff was friendly and courteous. They took care of me pretty quickly. I think in was in there about of of ten mins for the whole process from start to end. They set me up with a pretty decent car (jeep renegade). I really didn't care because it's the insurance company that's is paying for it and I need something that's good on gas. This location is conveniently located close to my house so when I have to return it they are not across town. The other plus for this location is that if u use Caliber Collision, it is in the next lot so u can just literally walk 1 min to get there. And if u have to wait, there is a 7-11 in the same lot are Hertz read more

Hertz Rent A Car - $36 a day. On insurance tab - Car Rental Near Me - Gardena, California

See all

Understaffed! Horrible system for the lobby. Picking up and dropping off takes far too long. They hardly have enough room to store the cars. The inefficiency of the way that this Hertz operates is ridiculous! I honestly feel bad because the attendant was very apologetic and nice! But something has to be done about the way that branch is ran. read more

I only dealt with this place because this was the place my insurance chose (since it was close to me) They are nearly impossible to reach over the phone. Once you're there, the employees are very friendly. But it took like 4 calls before anyone answered the phone read more

They have been really nice and helpful..5 stars to Hector & Julio..Its always busy here, so obviously they are doing a great job! EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! read more

this place deserves no stars.. I reserved a rental car online and they made me wait for an hour, while I'm seeing everyone else who made reservation walk in and get a car. this place is a joke. TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE PLACE! read more

I went to get a.rental and.it was nuce looking but smelled.like smoke. Upon returning the vehicle the manager Chris made me feel like I should be grateful for 15 discount and I paid more then that to wash vehicle. If i had smoked in car I would have paid this high outrageously price . I am really turned off from Hartz customer service read more

Rented a car through Expedia at 12pm arrived at 12:03 they were closed and refuse to give refund or even partial refund for the car I never used. Will never use them again. read more

We always used the torrance location on Hawthorne and never had problems like this. Now that this one is open, Torrance isn't even allowed to pick us up or drop us off. Not even if this one closes early and we lose hours off our rental. Do you know they will charge you for dropping it off at another location even when it's their own fault and/or limitation? And the sad part is they themselves transport cars between other hertz, some far away when they need cars. The employees will argue with you rather than to make a simple phone call. We reserved a particular car ahead of time. Got there and there was only two cars to rent on the lot. That would be fine except that they were no where near what we reserved. Sometimes that's okay and we'll take it anyway, but sometimes there is a specific reason a customer reserves a particular type of car. In no circumstance is it ever okay to tell a customer in so many words "it's not my problem, take it or leave it." A car was on the lot I'd been willing to take as it was like what I reserved, "oh, it needs an oil change."?!? Wouldn't you go get the oil changed? Well, if the dude would have just gotten on the phone when we asked and called to other locations like he did for other customers earlier that day, I would have had a car. It's funny that when we called to another location, a car we would have been willing to take was just being assigned. The manager is a lying pompous windbag. He might seem nice at first, but then he does a jekyll & hyde on you. He lied about a car trying to prove a point and to get us to rent it. I already know a bit about cars, but I looked that car up just to see for myself, and of course he lied. He was scarcely there when the business first opened, and he surely doesn't need to be there now. Part of being a mangaer is customer relations and he is not a people person. I don't get it. As the place is small and new, there aren't many cars to begin with. You don't think you need to wash, fix or change the oil on the few left on the lot? Had to come in today since I obviously couldn't get anything yesterday. And my two options were to either smell smoke, or take the other one to the car wash myself since no one else was there to take it. I'm sorry, but we're making phone calls, losing rental days we wanted, washing cars, and being made to jump through unknown hoops after renting the car? There shouldn't even be this kind of inconvenience and there's no need for attitudes like the manager's. Can someone tell me what the purpose of opening this location was? They run quickly out of cars even when there's a reservation, what's left is broken or not clean, they often can't pick you up or drop you off because no one is there. Already they either need to clean house, or close it down. Even if you need the pick up service, by all means go to another location. SAME DAY UPDATE: 3/1/13 5pm I cannot believe what just happened??? We went to the car wash and spent at least an hour of our rental time there. While there two people from hertz show up, one being Adolfo the manager. Only the outside of the car was washed. Then the attendant disappears for I don't know how long. Is the car finished? Is he getting more needed materials? No, he had given the keys to Adolfo which we didn't even find out until inquiring of someone named Tony from the car wash. It was only then that he finally brought the keys over. And get this, he hands them to Tony like we're not even there and walks away with a smirk. Now the only reason we even brought the car to the car wash was because of the interior. It was a mess inside, trash on the floor. The guy had taken water bottles out the car before we even left Hertz (and that's because his niece recycles). And before renting the car and taking it off the lot, we were under the impression that the interior would be cleaned. Why else would we take out time on our clock and dime? Well according to Tony who is another version of Adolfo (which I will later explain in a review of his business), the agreement with Hertz is that they only wash the car. When people rent cars, does only the outside (which I cared nothing about to begin with) accumulate dirt and debris? No. They're all covering for each other. Just moments before while our car was sitting by its lonesome, we watched as Adolfo and Kenny helped the car wash attendant wipe down the interior of another rental car to get it done faster. What kind of crap is this? If I had not promised to be somewhere tomorrow, I would not keep this car. It is not okay to waste people's time and to treat and talk to people like they do. Dogs get better treatment, and we paid for this. This location is lead by a bully who would rather escalate a created problem than to just handle or prevent it. This makes absolutely no sense. read more

This was by far the worst Hertz I have ever rented from in my life!!! They are rude, inconsiderate and greedy. I don't even have the energy to go into how bad the customer service was. While my husband was trying to make sure we brought in the correct amount to pay, Donny told my husband on the phone was double what it should have been and Donny told me husband I quote "Well you think you know everything then you figure out the cost". I was appalled, I am a gold member with Hertz and have taken the complete story all the way to the top to their corporate office. DO NOT RENT FROM HERE!!! read more

I went to Hertz Gardena saw Chris, he greeted me with a smile and helped me get a rental car quickly. He was professional and took care of all the headaches such as billing the insurance and all the other details. His focus was on me the customer and making sure I was taken care of and had the car I needed. I would highly recommend coming to Gardena Hertz and talking to Chris. He will take good care of you, great place, clean cars and excellent customer service!!! read more

I made a reservation online but when i arrived at the location, they stated they didn't have any cars in stock. Nothing. Of any type. I don't understand why your system is accepting online reservations if you don't have the cars available .....? Or why didn't you call me as soon as you realized you weren't going to be able to honor my reservation? I don't normally complain, but this messed up my whole day and cost me several hundred dollars in lost clients. Ugh. read more

I shouldn't even give them a star! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE! There is always only one or two people working when there's 10 people waiting in line! There was one worker that I did not do his job right. His attitude towards people was rude! First and last time here! read more

Skip this location!!! Came in after my "reservation" time thinking my vehicle would be ready. Nope, needed gas and I had to wait. Then I asked about upgrades, which I've always received as a Gold member. Nope, needed to pay more. In a nearby location, I paid for a Santa Fe and received a fully loaded Expedition and a fully loaded Dodge Ram. Here, I paid for a Silverado, and got DOWNGRADED to a crappy base-model, stripped out Nissan! Super disappointed. Will NEVER use this location again. read more

They are impossible to get ahold of! I called three times in one day and was on hold the whole time! The third time, I hung up after being on hold 15mins! The other two were at least 10 minutes each. Unacceptable. read more
