My upgrade from a compact car to a standard fast car with no additional charge
cindy T.

When I arrived on a Thursday evening at 9pm, there was one person in front of me ... that's not bad! Clerk got my info and all whatever is needed. Because I ordered a small car, she keep on insisting that I upgrade and get a better faster car. I told her I didn't need that. Anyways, she then told me well there's none of the small car available and they will upgrade me for free a standard car. I mean I guess. So I got a Charger which is a fast car... didn't expect that LOL! So I paid $55 for pass to drive on the carpool lane etc... The whole process was simple. Walked to pick up my car and boy! My charger was red! Pick up and drop off was easy.

We reserved a Managers special electric vehicle at an awesome rate during Graduation week locally in Seattle. To our surprise JOHN helped us at the 3rd level Check in counter. Customer service 2/5 rating. He was somewhat polite but clearly not appreciative of his job working in customer service. I get it, close to 1 am in the morning and all of a sudden 25 guests come to pickup vehicles. You're tired, so are we. But have some manners and be grateful you have a job. John got us setup with a midsize (the closest I'm size availability based on inventory) no apologies they could not honor there reservation. Meanwhile all but 20ish minutes we waited in the lobby and other guests also returned unhappy with the available options-- limited to a pickup truck ONLY. Going out to the vehicle. A bright candy apple red Hyundai sonata. We see a maintenance guy wondering the garage. Ask for his help. LEONARD (5/5 customer service rating) to the rescue, courteous, patient and friendly. He checks on a few of the noticeable electric cars. Finds one that they can release to us. Leonard gives me the cliffs notes training guide on how to operate our Tesla model Y vehicle. With the help of our second guardian Angel DONNA (another 5/5 customer service rating) We just need to switch our vehicle contract out at the exit, we're good to drive out. DANIEL (5/5 customer service rating) speedy checkout and updated our vehicle contract in seconds we were on our way and driving out of the garage. Daniel wished us well on our journey and thanked us for booking/renting with Hertz. Three amazing humans just doing there job, and exceeding expectations. Please pass on my kind words to their manager, kind, humble hospitality and appreciation for wearing a smile during a late night-early morning rush. They need an accolade and an incentive for going above and beyond the job responsibilities.

I booked a car with Hertz online and paid in advance with my credit card. When I arrived at the airport rental location, they refused to give me the car because I did not have the same credit card with me. They could not refund me at the counter, but marked on the reservation I did not pick up the car. They also told me to call them for a refund, but they never processed it. I had to rent another car on the spot, which was more expensive and less convenient. I have been trying to get my money back from Hertz for over a month, but they keep giving me the runaround. I have contacted their customer service, their executive support team, and even their Executive Vice President of Global Sales & Customer Experience, Laura Smith, but no one has responded to me or resolved my issue. I feel like they are ignoring me and stealing my money. Hertz is the worst car rental company I have ever dealt with. They are dishonest, unprofessional, and disrespectful. They do not care about their customers or their reputation. They only care about making money at the expense of others. I will never use Hertz again. This is my personal experience, and I urge you to please consider my experience when thinking about using Hertz.

I don't usually have positive experiences with rental car agencies, but overall we were really…read morehappy with the SeaTac Alamo! The rental process was easy (most of it done online without needing to talk to anyone), and the car itself was in good shape, with a full tank, and there were no billing issues upon returning the car. That in itself makes this experience unique compared to other car rental agencies. My only complaint was that the checkout process was quite slow, getting out of the airport. Other than that, super recommended!

In summary, every employee was refreshingly courteous and professional, and the entire process was executed well. After having reserved through Costco, checking in was quick, smooth, and painless, ending with the friendly staff person giving us clear and helpful directions where to go next to pick out a car. Another friendly staff member directed us to our section of the lot, and as we were about to drive out, another friendly staff member answered a few miscellaneous questions before leaving. On returning the car, a final friendly staff member offered to help get out bags out of the car and clear directions how to catch the shuttle back to the airport. Really great customer service here!

With the wait and the ride, it took us about an hour to just reach Avis where ANOTHER line is waiting for us. After another 30 mins wait, we finally reach the counter where the staff was very rude and demanded my corporate badge for the corporate leisure discount I used. When I couldn't provide it, she demanded to see my most recent paystub and studied it for a good minute when I pulled it up on my phone. This is such an odd ask and invasion of my privacy. Through many years of using corporate leisure codes, I've never had to provide my badges or paystubs. After check in, we got sent downstairs to get the car. Once again total chaos! The lines are mixed in with Budget, and they ran out of cars, so we had to grab anything that's available (not even the class of car we booked). Overall took over 2 hours for car rental. Returning was also chaotic, the return area was overrun by cars and the line waiting is out of the garage. A lot of yelling from the staffs, and there was no official check out process. We gave them the key and that was it.

Hertz raised the amount after learning my credit card would cover the damage. The repair shop bill they relied on is dated before the first amount they ever sent me. The repair amount does not correlate with the damage. They charged "loss of use" for days I held the rental and had already paid for. And the diminished value figure is large, arbitrary, bears no relation to the actual damage, and came with no concrete explanation. Credit card rental coverage doesn't cover diminished value, so that part falls entirely on the renter. Each time I asked for specifics, the response was some version of "we reviewed everything and it's correct," refusing to engage with details. When I pointed some discrepancies, the response was "it's industry standard". The message: this is what you'll pay, and you can't do anything about it. I've avoided Hertz on my trips since. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Hertz.

Then, they didn't have the car in stock, and gave us another car that wasn't cleaned from the previous rental, and had alerts on being low on coolant, windshield washer fluid, etc. Long wait times- not sure why their process takes so long when car is prebooked and prepaid- not sure what they're actually doing on their computer. Had an issue with the rental, called their customer service line, terrible AI bot, finally got a person- who said I needed to talk to a different customer service line. Neither person spoke clear English. Second person said they couldn't help either- not sure what the point of "Customer Service" is if neither of the humans seem to be able to do anything because they're beholden to the same crappy AI.
