I recently returned a rental from HERZT and feel compelled to share this warning. I rented an EV and used Tesla Superchargers during the rental. Every single charging session was clearly documented with time, location, cost, and a photo as proof. Most of the time, I charged the vehicle at home. The total charging cost was about $151, but HERZT charged me more than double that amount without any explanation. Their bill did not match my records at all. I called their customer service several times to dispute the charges, but no solution was offered. The attitude I received was essentially: "If you want to rent from us, you have to accept our terms." No explanation, no itemized breakdown, no accountability. I ended up returning the car today. Seven years ago, I had already noticed that HERZT tends to overcharge and sneak in fees. I gave them another chance, and unfortunately, nothing has changed. This time, I made sure to clean the vehicle carefully and took photo evidence before returning it. At this point, I would not be surprised if they still try to add a cleaning fee out of nowhere. My advice is simple. Go to Enterprise instead. I have rented from Enterprise for over 15 years and never had a single unpleasant experience. Their pricing is transparent, and their service is reliable. I underestimated just how unreliable HERZT still is. I will never rent from them again. If Enterprise is not available, I would rather ride a bicycle than deal with HERZT again. Seriously. read more

Nick is smart and quick to resolve any issue. I reserved through Thrifty, but was not in the system. He searched the system as much as possible, only to find no reservation. So, he manually input my same price and the same car within minutes. A very professional and very smart man. I will reserve my rentals here. Thanks Nick, Great work. read more

Why do they hire people that hate their job .. like dang they have no customer service at all .. I rented a car from them at first they did not want to take my credit card . Because was a SELF credit card which works the same as all my other credit cards so stupid ! So I ended up using my capital one .. so had the car for 1 week when I returned it the stupid manager told me I had to vacuum the car or I will get a cleaning fee .. I never heard of that .. the manager was on the phone the whole time.. it looked like he was mad .. he should work at McDonald's for reals. This is for the UBER rental not worth renting to expensive if you are a Uber driver .. I rented a Kia niro EV I was spending more time looking for charging stations that don't work ,, also when you do find one you got to charge for 1 hour or more read more

These people do not care about their customers as you can tell from the other horrible reviews for this location. I reserved a car for pick up at 6:00 and paid in full before pick up and they had locked up early and were leaving even though I arrived on time. When I let "Nick" know we were there to pick up and that we had already paid, he said he was off the clock and it wasn't his problem. When we attempted to further discuss with him, he ignored us and got in his car. It was unbelievable. And then he encouraged that we complain to his manager and district manger because they wouldn't care. I can't believe Hertz would allow such a rude individual to represent their company. I also recently rented from budget right down the street and it was so easy and everyone was very nice. I would recommend renting from there. AVOID THIS LOCATION! read more

This customer service is the worst !! The man working the desk doesn't know what he is doing. The charged refuel when it was purchased and when I told him he said he cant remove the charge. But said if I put gas myself he can take off. So he just said he couldn't . If feel he doesn't know what he is doing and taking advantage of people when it's literally on account that refuel was included !I will never go there and YOU SHOULDNT EITHER read more

Terrible service And a lot of hidden fees Shady business. Go else where even ENTERPRISE IS BETTER. read more

The manager up there is not a nice person. He's not willing to work with you. he made me get gas when the car is already full. And I told him I just filled it on my way to drop the car off. He made me go to the gas station and put $2.35 in it. read more

I was given a Hertz rental when my car dealership had to keep my car for a couple of weeks for warranty repairs. The folks at the customer service area were pleasant enough but worked super slow, so I wound up waiting close to an hour to pick up the car. I was warned that dogs were not allowed in the car and if I did carry dogs in the car, there would be a $400 cleaning charge. During the nearly 2 weeks I had the car, there were no dogs in it, and I didn't even have a human passenger in it. Yet, when I returned the car, I was told there was dog hair in the driver seat foot well and they were going to charge me $400. They show me a photo of the footwell and it was not perfectly clean (that's where my SHOES go - anyone have perfectly clean shoe bottoms?). They even checked with the manager who claimed I would need to get the car cleaned or pay $400. Now I've had my car meticulously detailed and paid maybe $75, and this was nowhere close to that. None of them seemed to get with the logic that, if I had transported dogs in the car, it wouldn't be in the driver seat foot well. So I drove a mile to an auto car wash place, purchased a lint roller for $3, and basically lint rolled the mat, brought it back, and all was good. I mean, I could buy a complete set of new mats for this car and not spend anywhere close to $400. This place is nothing more than a giant cash grab. I've rented with Enterprise many times and have had no such problems, so I recommend driving very fast past Hertz and using Enterprise instead. read more

Brand new rental and the price was right and the service was amazing again thank you kensey for your excellent service

Hertz rental needs major overhaul. Every employee looks angry. Hertz is hiring the wrong people, lack of training, employee burnout, misunderstanding customer expectations, and lack of employee engagement. Every person gets seen first ‍while I feel like a lost ball in high weeds. As a Customer today expect communication with service departments to be instant. Not the case Hertz needs to improve Lack of commitment, Poor team work, Overworking, Scripted communication. Customer service representative slim Asian guy needs Understand customers needs over haul in training, Train empathy, Encourage honest customer feedback, Set up a framework to measure your team's performance, Set individual and team goals, Streamline manual processes, Set and communicate service standards. Improve Hertz Rental in communication with customer there should not be a long line wait period. Level up read more

I had a great first experience renting a car for Uber through Hertz thanks to Christian. Though the wait time was longer than I expected, Christian made up for the trouble with his exceptional customer service; he explained the rental process in detail, mentioned additional services without seeming pushy, and answered all my questions in a professional but personable manner. Thank you Christian for your help! Update: There was an error with the Uber app and Hertz with the rental process but Christian came through yet again and assisted me with the same great customer service. A big THANK YOU also goes to his Manager, Mauricio for helping with the same great customer service. I will definitely be coming back to this Hurtz location because of the amazing customer services that Christian provided! read more

Everything worked out just fine for me. My agent was a young lady named Kensi who picked me up at the auto body shop, processed me at the Hertz office, and I was off. This was an insurance claim so I was in no hurry. When it came time to return my rental I was lucky enough to have Kensi as the closing agent who also returned me to the body shop. I did return my vehicle with proper fuel and did run it through a car wash so no issues with cleaning fee. Customer service starts with the relationship between a customer and the front facing employee, in my case Kensi who did a great job. Thanks Team Hertz!!! read more

On Tuesday I picked up a car to rent because Land Rover had set up this rental, as my own car was being serviced. Raquel helped me get an Infiniti SUV because she said the Jaguar she had on the lot was dirty. She NEVER went around the car with me to show me damages. She only told me the car DID NOT have a full tank of gas. She gave me a car that had a chip in the windshield and didn't even tell me. Then when I got back on Friday to Land Rover and dropped my rental, Sam called me from Hertz to tell me there was a gash in the back passenger tire and they were holding me responsible to pay. They charged me $135.00 to fix the tire and a would not recognize any of their employees disregard for the consumer. Very unprofessional experience. Steer clear! read more

Hertz Rent A Car - Representatives that spoke with me - Car Rental Near Me - Riverside, California

I had a reservation today for October 30th at 3 PM. I called the Hertz rental location to let them know I was running late. So I called hertz rental and I spoke to a Christian supposedly a manager and when I was talking he would talk over me and I told him let me finish talking and then you can have a chance to talk, he was talking over me so I got a little aggressive to tell him don't talk over me when I'm talking at what I am trying to achieve , so I had to let him know that I might be running late a few minutes and he said that he couldn't promise a car here after one minute after 3 o'clock . I did rent a vehicle from Hertz priorly and they did hold the car for me a few minutes after my time of my reservation because I was running a little late. and so I had to let him know that I have to take an Uber to go get a rental so sadly I had to cancel everything as far as even getting the Uber ride there . Christian was not helpful. He doesn't care for the customers , he claims to be a manager, I ask him let me speak to your higher manager. He said there is no one to speak to so christian wasn't helpful. Christian is very rude and very unprofessional of customer service . Please replace him and place him somewhere in the back where he doesn't have to interact with customers on the phone. He might be much better washing cars or cleaning them, but not attending people on the phone helping people over the counter. I told him I was going to "Yelp" him and he said to go ahead I don't care "Really" is that how you think ? As for today, I just lost my rental reservation and I had to cancel my Uber ride. Thanks to Christian a very unprofessional hertz associate , very rude customer service. read more

This review is for their equally bad sister business next door: Hertz Uber. Finally had it with them. I rented from Avis 2 miles from my house. Brand new 2022 Kia Soul. Combined my USAA discount with prepay discount. Total $1126/mo. Much better than $1250/mo for some POS older model and 3hr wait to speak to a condescending agent. And good luck changing cars at the Hertz location if there is a problem. Nasty people at Uber Hertz. As for Avis they have online checkin. The guy was super nice. Just make sure you get the rental company's insurance card from the glove compartment and that it's current. That is the one Uber takes for proof of insurance. I am starting my 2nd mo with them tomorrow. HE ANSWERED THE PHONE! WOW!!!! He said I can keep the Kia but just gotta get it an oil change across the street at Pep Boys. No problem. Caveat. I tried getting this Avis rental on Lyft. But they weren't letting it happen. But oh well I wasn't driving for them anyway. Good luck. Fire Hertz Uber if you can combine discounts elsewhere. Doesn't have to be Avis. Just anyone else. read more

I was very impressed. The staff was very personable. I received a vehicle above my expectations in almost new condition. Even though they were extremely busy it took less time than expected and there were no hidden surprises. When I dropped the vehicle off the young lady checked me out quickly and took me back to the collision center. I will definitely consider this location for my rental needs in the future. read more

Great service. I'm used to dealing with enterprise and they are the worst. Much better experience with hertz. They were fast and super accommodating and understanding. Thank you so much Raquel for your help today! read more

Hertz Rent A Car - Lot - Car Rental Near Me - Riverside, California

I wish I could have read the bad reviews prior to reserving the rental from here. The person who assisted me looked overwhelmed, tired and just ready to go home. The entire experience was rushed. The Tesla that was rented required a 4-digit pin before taking off (driving) which the assistant failed to enter before going back inside the building. I had to go in and call him to assist me. The pin was entered and I was told it was a 1time thing and it wouldn't require it again. I drove home to get ready for take off and when I tried to turn it back on and take off there it was (4-digit pin) was needed to drive the car. I called customer service was hung-up on 3times, the pin couldn't be provided, car couldn't be replaced because I kept getting hung up on and the rental place didn't open until 9am the next day Saturday. Terrible experience!! Do not rent from here! Save yourself a headache! read more

I Would give them no stars but its not an option! middle eastern man and other employees were horrible to deal with! Did not even get a greeting and received a very condescending remark because i had to wait for my husband to arrive. I arrived at 5:20 and was told they close at 6 however i was sent by Toyota and was assured i would still be helped. Then he proceeded to very rudely ask if my husband was some random guy with glasses walking in the door. Do not come here! As i was here 2 more people walked in complaining. The gentleman even screamed at someone on the phone while i was there. Go anywhere eles but here! Hertz please check your employees they are horrible! They seem to only care about closing early. read more

They charged my bank card for more than an extra week I turned the car in on the 13th of the month they charged me till the 20th of July

I decided to try this hertz location out since it was across the street from the repair shop my car was at. During this day, the location was not busy. I was helped right away by the friendly employees. After signing paperwork, I was brought out to a 2020 nissan murano. Later that day, I received a call from the repair shop stating my car might take 1 month to fix. The insurance company would only cover 20 days of rental. I returned to hertz to see if I could get into a cheaper vehicle. Instead, they were kind enough to adjust the rate so that insurance would cover close to all the days I would need a rental. This is exceptional service on their part. After close to 1 month, I returned the suv with no problems. I would highly recommend this location for any car rental need. read more

Ride Share .. none given. To far, so I go home to find a ride. Told the lady whom was ready to take ride, that I have to go and get a ride. She sez okay.. i explain i Did bring it with a full tank she checked. I return n this other rep sez nope a Full tank! He ends up charging the 80.00 to fill it. Goodness, a smidge under the full line? Wow... So, all my family and friends Don't Rent from Hertz!! Terrible service. I'll stick with ENTERPRISE CAR RENTALS! They give you a courtesy ride to and from your home/business. Boo... Hertz! I'd give No STAR!! read more

If I could I would put less than one star I'd put minus stars.. the office on indiana in riverside... is very unorganized and unprofessional... But the employee in charge of the Uber rental is super Rude , not that he could not help my situation but he was very unaccompanied read more

Terrible service. Employees were extremely rude. I reserved and paid for a car online and when I get there they said they don't have any cars except one car that cost double. Why would you let customers reserve and pay for a car you don't have and let them get all the way to the office to say you don't have any cars except one that's double the price. I called the reservation number and they told me the location didn't even cancel the reservation after all of that and I was already showing as a no show. Thankfully the customer service I called apologized and made sure I would not get charged. read more

Had to rent a car from here a few days ago, and did not have the best service. The lady who helped us (a large hispanic women) had the worst service ever. The whole time she had attitude. Did not smile once. And was just rude at giving us our service. All she did was have smart remarks to things we'd say, and while putting down my information said " would you like to go there instead i can stop what im doing " just because we mentioned having to get a rental a few days ago prior to having to get another. Either she needs to work on her customer service skills, or clearly thats not a job for her. I had the worst expirience ever been taken care of by her. read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but this place has the worst customer service that I've experienced. I know the workers are mad that they have made bad life choices and are stuck working at a rental agency, but that isn't the customers fault. The two ladies (short black one and short Hispanic one) decided to ignore me while helping customers that walked in 15 20 mins after me. When I spoke up the response was I haven't been waiting that long. The point was...I hadn't been helped let alone been greeted, but you know how long that I have been waiting. I see why they work here , it's only job that they could get with that type of personality . I've gotten better customer service at the dmv and Walmart. Canceled my reservation. read more

Awful customer service by manager Nick at this location. I set up a reservation the night before on the phone with Hertz hotline and was informed I would be picked up, I just needed to call 30 minutes ahead of time to ensure a ride. I purposely picked this location being that it was only 4.5 miles away from where I needed to be retrieved from. I went ahead and called at 8:20 AM (my reservation was set for 9AM) and the manager Nick answered telling me that they wouldn't pick me up because they only do so within a 3 mile radius. I was never informed of this information by the Hertz employee who set up my reservation the night prior. And when I searched online, Hertz Local Edition Free Pick Up & Return Service stated you must be within 15 minutes of any HLE location. I was less than a 10 minute drive. Nick continued to ARGUE with me on the phone that they wouldn't pick me up because i was too far away. And later shared they were short staffed. Nick could have leaf with that and perhaps had a much more appropriate response, rather than arguing with a customer on the phone about picking them up. I am disappointed and quite frankly appalled with the lack of concern or care towards a paying customer. Nick was inconsiderate and not personable at all, I had to arrange for my own ride and resulting in me being not one hour late to work, but 2 hours. Raquel helped me in person and was more accommodating and overall personable. So thank you Raquel for treating me like a decent human being. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM HERE!! They close early and no one tells you, and there is no sign on the door. And when you call their customer service line, they give you the run around. You are better off renting from anyone else. read more

On 9-15-22 We were referred to Hertz from Moss Bros while our van was being worked on. It was going to be a discounted rate of $35 a day. We had the car rental (Chevrolet Spark) Extremely small car for 1 week. We were told on 9-15-22 it was going to be a charge of $461.82... but when we return the car, we would be getting our $200.00 deposit back. We returned the car on 9-22-22. The gas tank was full and there were no problems or damages. I saw the charge on my bank account of $461.82 on 9-25-22 and waited for the deposit.... I waited for more than a week on 9-30-22 I went in and spoke to the manager Rachel. She told me that from the time the car is returned to the time the deposit is returned is up to my banking institute. that the money is in limbo during this period. I thought that that sounded wrong, so I went into my bank and asked. There had not been a 2nd transaction of any money returned and that it is completely false for Hertz to say the money is up to the bank to return. I have been with Wescom Credit Union for more than 20 years and they are accurate and have the best client services. They told me that Hertz has not done any deposit, transaction whatsoever, but I should wait till Monday to check again. On 10-3-22 I called and spoke to the manager Rachel I was told they did not have me in their system, they did not have an invoice number or contract number. I told them that when I returned the car the employee at the desk did not return my paperwork. the manager then told me I must have spent the money (the deposit) in my account "Sarcasm and rudeness is the least of this".... this company did not treat me and my husband fair .... no deposit was given back ... I let Moss Bros know that they should not refer anyone for Hertz on Indian in Riverside. I also reported them to the BBB ... Absolutely bad business!!!!!!! Not right to cheat people out of $ read more

Two overworked Hertz employees ran around the office doing everything.... While two managers sat in a corner office chatting at each other. I had a 11am car rental appointment, we arrived at 10:50 and drove away at 12:40. I had to wait almost two hours to get keys and drive away!? That's NOT customer value Hertz! Had to do the same when returning.... I own your stock and I want to love you... but it just "Hertz". I would choose an airport location for drop off and pickup. Prepare to stand in cue here, for hours!! read more

Wonderful customer service - thank you Raquel and Kevin!

Beware 7777 Indiana Ave. Hertz! Steer clear (pun intended). Car broke down, needed a same day rental. Reserved a car online, for pickup at a certain time. Show up on time...and.... No cars available, and they close in 1/2 an hour, and you are simply out of luck. Oh, they have an overpriced upgrade for double the price (since when is a Taurus a premium vehicle?). When asked about why bother making a reservation, their response is "that's the corporate web site". Huh? I was thankful my ride to Hertz hadn't left already, and I was able to get out of there quickly. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BAIT AND SWITCH RENTAL SITE. read more

This review is for the rent to buy program. I was notified the vehicle was ready to rent. I got a ride from Chris, who was amaZing! My poor review is based on how dirty the car was when I arrived. It had trash, it was filthy and there was GUM stuck on the car! And some other food source I'm not sure of was stuck in one of the pockets. Anywho, I feel they should've apologized or tried to accommodate some kind of price difference. read more
