I provided the agent with my name (I had my reservation number ready but agent seemed satisfied with only my name). The vehicle class and fuel options seemed to be unknown to the agent so we spent another 8-10 minutes getting those details settled before I was on my way. Not too big of a deal. Disappointing to experience at midnight and nearly an hour-long wait in the shuttle line to get to rental cars from SEA. I am happy with the rental car though - clean, spacious. I believe a good value. read more

To have enough cars. They did not have my car I reserved and they give me a different car but they charge me more money. And the car wasn't clean read more

This is my nightmare, if you ever want to rent a car in Seattle, never Hertz. Book through Expedia got a confirmation, when I got there, they told me no car available, employees so not helpful or friendly, wasted 2hr travel, 100 on Uber , worst way to start a vacation. They don't even deserve a star. read more

So I make the appointment for 4 pm on Thursday (9/9/21). I get in and find that getting to this location is going to be tougher then I thought. So I call their office and Jessica answers. I tell her that I'm running late. I take an Uber for $45.00 and get there by 4:45 pm. Guess what. They're gone. Lights out and locked door. I called 8 times and each time I get a recording that the office is closed. They're suppose to be there till 5:30!! I'm in the middle of no where now. I also called their national phone number but all I get is that I'm in the right area and they should be there. Nope. They're gone. Anyways I take another uber ride back to the airport for another $45.00 and get another car from Fox which costed twice as much since I didn't have a reservation. The next day I call and talk to Jessica again. I asked the obvious. Where were you? Her first response was that she has kids as if that's a perfectly reasonable excuse to give. Then she shifted and said it wasn't her that was there but another employee who was there till 5:30 pm. I then said I called 8 times while sitting out side the door since 4:45 PM. She said that's impossible since they even rented a car out to someone @ 5:10 pm. She also said she only saw one phone call from me @ 3:43 pm which was the first time I called her from the Airport. All lies of course. The submitted phone record doesn't lie unlike Jessica. I'll just add my two cents among the many here. Stay far away from this place. It seems that no one cares and you'll just end up stranded like many of us have. Very expensive mistake. read more

Hertz Rent A Car - Car Rental Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you look at my review history you will notice that I generally use Yelp to reward excellent service. This is NOT that. Avoid this car rental agency. Waited an hour for the keys, zero info given about the electric car I ordered, and waited in a growing line at checkout just to be told to drop the keys on the counter. 10 minutes of standing in their tiny office before I was finally acknowledged? While not exactly rude, they were absolutely indifferent. They have earned their 1.8 rating. read more

After I read the reviews I was concerned about the service and cars at this location. We were pleasantly surprised with the excellent service provided by the manager Inez and her staff when we arrived to pick up our rental. We were able to get a vehicle that fit our needs. The vehicle requested was available but we upgraded for more comfort. It made a world of difference, comfort wise. The vehicle was clean and we had no problems with any of the features. We'd definitely rent from this location. Thank you Inez! read more

Hertz Rent A Car - Suburban - Car Rental Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had a relatively smooth and easy experience here! Some tips to make your car rental as smooth and easy as mine: 1) Do NOT rent through 3rd parties (ex: expedia), as you will not have a confirmed reservation and you will NOT have a car on site when you come. You must reserve directly through Hertz's website or by phone to Hertz at this location 2) Do NOT rent an electric car--their prices are low for a reason. You cannot guarantee to recharge your car as the public charging wires are all cut throughout the city (people like to cut the wires and collect the copper). 3) Rent from a different location if you're hoping to get a car quickly, as they have a limited number of cars since they're usually catered to a small clientele of billionaires who have their own planes/jets and as such they rent cars to said billionaires. The lady behind the counter (Inez) explained everything very well and patiently. We came unknowingly from renting through expedia an electric car, but ended up paying the extra to get a gas car which we didn't mind since they had laid out Hertz's terms clearly (which are very different from expedia's). However, the extra pay was not that much considering that we got a relatively nice car, and they were able to answer any and all questions with friendliness and ease. Thank you Inez for your great customer service and for helping us to understand in a quick and easy manner! As I see from these other reviews, not getting what you expected can understandably be frustrating, but there is no need to take it out on the people who are behind the counter. They were honestly quite helpful and were eager to answer questions when asked earnestly. read more

I was in the area for business. had a 5 day rental at 172.00 a day. i found that i needed to extend so i got on line using the app and they wanted to charge an additional 1442.77 to the bill. i thought this has to be a mistake so i called the 800 number. it wasn't a mistake, they went back and recalculated my entire rental to 321.00 a day. I own my business and travel a lot. i stop using hertz several years ago for this same type of practice. in talking with their support person, the attitude was, if you want to extend you'll accept the rate. very rude.. i will never use hertz again, very dishonest company. i don't blame the people at the rental counter, its the business itself. read more

If you are at this hertz... just Uber back to sea tac. I promise it will be worth the money. This was absolutely the worst rental experience I have had. Rental experiences never seem to be smooth, but I don't think this could have been worse. We reserved a Tesla, but when we arrived they did not have any available. They replaced it with a Kia... not at all comparable. Especially since the lodge we were staying at only had tesla charges. If this would have been the only issue I would not be writing a 1 star review. There were 2 garbage bags full of hot trash in the back of the "clean" car. Therefore the car smelled horrible. The car was only 50% charged. There was zero professionalism here. The "general manager" was rude to us and her employee. At one point she grabbed the phone out of his hand and told him to no longer answer calls. This was after she took a personal phone call for everyone to hear. The whole vibe here was uncomfortable. read more

If you are reading this, DO NOT RENT FROM HERE! The worst customer service ever! They do not care about what you have going on, its their way or no way. I reserved an SUV 2 months in advance, and when i got there, the lady at the counter said they dont have any suv's available. She said that there was a storm and people had only been driving one way, so there was nothing she could do. Complete Lies! As i went to return the vehicle, what do i see....SUVs were crowding the lot! Backing up to the same day rental, she said there are no suvs and that she could give me a sedan for the same price! Then she goes...its considered luxury, so it's the same price... it was a Fxxxing toyota! Luxury my Axx. Then she goes on and says i can pay extra for a larger vehicle! From my experience with other companies is that they would do a free upgrade for not having the necessary car available. I reserved an SUV for a reason. After going back and forth, I realized it was going nowhere, I ended up taking the sedan, with my whole family squeezing in it the entire trip. On top of that, the vehicle was disgusting! It smelled like curry, there were crumbs everywhere, trash still in car, stains on the center console and steering wheel and then some. My wife and i ended up having to take an hour to clean it because it was so disgusting. I can go on and on with more, but i will just keep re-upsetting myself. This location is a complete disappointment, so again... I highly recommend going elsewhere. This review is a -5 star! Disgusting! This location needs to get shut down with how crappy it is. How are you going to be in the customer service industry with no customer service. Seems like some people need to get fired from here in order to make it better, just saying...kaitlynn Adams read more

Such an unbelievable experience with JESSICA AND CELESTE. They are very rude, unhelpful, unprofessional. No costumer service at all!!! When asked to speak with a manger, they said they were the managers. They said the man outside was just the cleaning man. When he was the actual general manager- Mark. Celeste was picking up costumer phone calls, after hanging up, she was making fun of their accents. My card declined once (probably because I'm a broke b*** who sucks d*** for trips, says Celeste) Once I transferred $ over to my card, Celeste and Jessica warned us that if it declines again, they will have to cancel our reservation. Well, the card declined again. That's when we found the GM Mark aka the "cleaning man" He said we can try the card ONCE more. I called my bank to confirm it had sufficient funds and only to find out that Celeste tried to charge my card a ridiculous high amount and not for the amount we were told. Mark ended up taking care of us. After returning the car 3 days later, we had to deal with Jessica. Who was unfriendly the whole time. 1 hour after returning the car, I started to receive blocked calls, calling me an effing B**** and laughing and hanging up. Shortly after these calls, I received a text from a fake number: calling me ugly, said my son is ugly (wow! They really looked up my social media) and had my home address. I've been calling all morning and only reaching a busy dial tone, once I called with a blocked number, I was able to be connected. Unfortunately, Mark wasn't in today. These "women" are supposed to be the face of this hertz location. Hertz needs to get rid of them because costumers won't return to Hertz if we're gonna have start and end our vacation with these bitter unprofessional "women" These reviews are all TRUE. So be prepared if you're renting through this location. I hate leaving bad Yelp reviews but these "women" deserve to be poorly reviewed. read more

I have never met a ruder or less helpful person than the woman running this Hertz (she refused to share her name). We were less than forty five minutes later than our reservation coming from Sea-Tac and they gave away our car to "VIPs" without calling. This is our first time traveling with a six-month-old baby and we had hoped for any kind of other option but she told us, "You wouldn't be late to the pediatrician would you, so this is what you get for being late." We called the corporate customer service but they were also no help whatsoever. I normally have good experiences with Hertz but because of this person and this experience I will never rent from Hertz again. Do not make the mistake of thinking you will save money on a rental by renting off-site from Sea-Tac--this is what you'll be dealing with and you'll regret it like I do. read more

This review is about Jessica, which from reading these I'm blown away she still has a job. She's a pretty low on the totem pole type of person, she is straight from the top terrible.. she even lied about her name and claimed to be Crystal, this was confirmed untrue from customer service, which is insane.. long story short, they told lie after lie and after speaking with customer service I ended up with the car I rented. They tried to not let me rent due to being 5 minutes late... read more

Had a quick and pleasant rental experience recently. When the shuttle dropped us off, we went to the front counter (no line) and said if we are President's Circle, to just proceed downstairs to get the car. We went downstairs, saw our name on the board, and went to the Gold counter (no line there either) because we needed a toddler seat. Otherwise we could have just gone straight to pick a car in the PC lot and drove off. The lady at the desk told us to pick whichever car we wanted from the PC lot, and then to come back and tell her the parking spot # so they could deliver the toddler seat to us. PC has a few Mustangs, Altimas and some smaller SUVs. We picked a car, installed the seat, and were ready to go. Returning the car was quick and easy as well. read more

The rude one is Jessica. Please don't start or end your trip at any Hertz. I understand they are hurting right now but this lady gets joy out of giving away reservations if you're late.. and guess what with traveling these days people are late. I thought that's why it's a reservation. Jessica really needs to get a job where she doesn't work with people. read more

Fucking unbelievable. Go to pick up our reserved car and are told "you are number 21 in line. There are no cars to pick up. The people ahead of you have been here for 3 hours waiting for their rentals." DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

they cancelled our reservation the morning we were going to pick up the car. we booked the car weeks ago, have the confirmation number and everything. The morning of our reservation we get a call cancelling our reservation in which they say "theres nothing we can do". so now we are stranded in seattle. waste of time and effort. DO NOT BOOK. they will not help to correct THEIR mistakes. also, the people on the phone were very rude and unhelpful. read more

made a reservation in advance, no cars were available the day of and the next day, had to switch to enterprise (best decision ever) and my trip was almost shot. terrible customer service, clueless employees, poor management. don't rent with them unless you want to be unsure of if you're receiving a vehicle or not. read more

Absolutely atrocious customer service. Not only did they not have my vehicle but they wanted to charge me more and the full day rate. The woman who ran this station made it apparent that the reason my car wasn't available was entirely my fault. Also the Priceline address had it in a different location so I had to walk several blocks with all my stuff to get to the correct place. read more

Horrible service. Over-billed me by two days for my reservation. Then took forever to get the refund all while ignoring repeated requests for an updated receipt to satisfy my company's bookkeepers. Mark Latta, the location manager, lied to me about providing the above. The girl who I initially talked to was rude and useless. I won't be renting from Hertz in the future due to this experience. read more

By far the worst place ever to get a rental. Very rude customer service, unprofessional, and very racist. (206) 763-0995 The lady that claims to be the manager was yelling over the phone and was being very disrespectful and when I asked to speak to the manager, she said she was the manager. I asked what her name was , she didn't want to tell me her name and hung up the phone. I don't recommend anyone to get a rental from this location. read more

Alright, here's the deal...this location is out in the middle of nowhere. We're in the middle of a global pandemic. The car rental situation and business is HURTING right now, prices are sky-rocketing, supplies are low, demand is high. Because of this, circumstances are causing people's attitudes and expectations to run pretty hot. I rented a cargo van (only because it was WAAAAYYY cheaper than any alternative) and when I got there, they didn't have it and it may take a couple hours to get one. So of course, I cursed, I threatened, I yelled, and I told all the employees how incompetent they were! No....no I did not do that. I stayed polite and understanding and treated those working behind the desk with respect and understanding. And jeez, you know what? We shared some laughs, told a couple stories, and I patiently waited as those women tried everything they could to find me a car. In the end, they did MORE than right by me. Tatianna, Jessica, and Celeste gave me EXCEPTIONAL customer service. I didn't go in demanding an upgrade, a certain type of vehicle, or for them to materialize a car out of thin air. When I visit Seattle from now on, this location will be my preferred rental location. Moral of the story....don't be a jerk, treat others with respect, and they'll likely do the same for you! read more

I wish I could give a zero star rating. Too bad I didn't read the reviews before reserving a car. This was my first trip to King County Airport. Got off the plane and went into the terminal to ask how I could get to myHertz rental because I had a reservation. The terminal attendant told me I could pick up my car right there. Showed him my reservation and he completed and printed out a contract for me. I signed it. What I didn't know is that he did not use my reservation but created another contract at almost 3x the price. Discovered the credit card charge after returning home and called Hertz. They were the opposite of help. Essentially told me the airport attendant wasn't their employee and since it had been more than 24 hours they wouldn't do anything. Except give me the phone number for Hertz billing. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told she was the supervisor of 5 branches so there was no one else to talk to. Never will I rent a at Hertz again! read more

Service dog got paw prints on seat. Service person said they wiped down easily. Owner of this Hertz rental cars made huge deal about paw prints. Threatened to charge $400, then $100, then finally charged $50. The owner shamed the owner of a service dog. Don't go here and tell them why. read more

My rental was on a verge of breaking down and this location was closest to me. No empathy, help or support whatsoever from two ladies in charge, who were not wearing nametags. All I got is a toll free number to call. Painful. read more

The worst customer service experience in my life!!!!! we had reserved and paid for the car a month in advance, and when we arrived the lady said "oh sorry we don't have your car and if you don't have the same card you used to pay I can't help you, I won't lose my job for nobody "...I understand she has to abide by Hertz rules, but she did not even try to help us!!!! She didn't have the car, so it was Hertz's fault, and she did absolutely nothing!!! We spent 1.5 hours on the phone with customer service while she stood at the desk in silence. She was so rude!!!!!! read more

Made a reservation a month in advance and was told at the register that they don't have a vehicle for us. Were told that they had given us a call about it but have no missed calls, voicemails, emails or texts. The lady was immediately combative at the desk and no realistic options to resolve the issue were offered. read more

I received a parking ticket because this location rented me a car with expired tags. When I called to let them know, a woman named Tatiana was extremely rude to me and told me I should have told the people issuing the ticket it was a rental and that it was my fault to have been issued the ticket (yea, made no sense to me either). When she refused to help, I reached out to the general manager, Sergio Ortega-Bonaparte, expecting him to address the problem but instead he responded saying he would look into it and then ignored two- follow emails. I guess Hertz isn't hiring the best people. Avoid this trashy place and rent your car elsewhere! read more

I unfortunately can't give zero stars. Made a reservation weeks ago, and arrived to be told there are no cars anywhere in the area. The manager lied to my face that she called and left a voicemail telling us this that morning, only for several other people to arrive behind us with similar reservations and no knowledge of this, just like us. As we were trying to figure this out, all three employees left the location. Got in their cars and left, as groups of customers sat on the curb trying to find other cars. Appallingly bad customer service. I will never rent from Hertz again because of this experience. read more

This rental car location is a joke. First of all this location delivered my dad's rental vehicle to the wrong Service King. When the vehicle finally arrived it was too small and Hertz didn't even bother fixing it they told him to call the insurance himself which wasn't even his, it was the person that hit him. When he finally went to switch the vehicle out to a truck that he originally needed, the "manager" of this location gave him a DIRTY, filthy truck. They didn't bother to clean it after the last person dropped it off. Not to mention this "manager" had an attitude the entire time and never answered his phone. Avoid Hertz at all costs. read more

Alexander the Manager checked us in with no problems or delays and was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was quiet and there were plenty of cars available. read more

God this place was absolutely dreadful. First off, I had arranged for a car for me to pick up at 8:30 due to plans I had made for that day. My triple A agent also told me that this Hertz store would have an Uber pick me up shortly after 8am. I call up the shop at 8:05am, nothing. I continuously call and no one answers. Finally, at around 8:30, a girl answers and tells me there are no Uber's available until after 11:30. Obviously I declined and said I'll just pay for my own Uber, whatever, BUT they can reimburse me for up to $15. Okay, cool, I like this. Upon arriving to hertz about 20 minutes after that phone call, the door is locked and no one is there. It's about 40 degrees outside, I wait about 5 minutes before I called. The girl working there tells me she's at a hangar for the airport next door and that she'll be there in 2 minutes. It was literally 10 minutes later when she arrived. I'm freezing. She enters my data, runs my card, and notifies me about how I don't have insurance and when I asked her if the insurance I bought with triple a pops up on her computer she answers so rude back "no, so whatever happens to the car is just something you'll have to pay back to Hertz". I've never experienced such terrible customer service. The car was nice, I got a 2017 Nissan Altima. I'd like to use Hertz for future endeavors however I truly hope the girl at this Seattle location is the only bad seed on the bunch. read more

Was my fault for not completely reading but the staff member I worked with was very shady in the way she went about things. Asked if I wanted insurance and didn't say the cost was for every single day... that added up quick. Adding a passenger was $94 which was also not mentioned. So had to pay for all that on top of the cost per day... called to ask about it and all they could say was you signed a contract and sorry the lady mislead you. Not our problem... won't go with them again that's for sure.... just make sure you look at what you sign! Lesson learned. read more

hertz as a whole has made it very easy to say how terrible they really are. first off I booked online. no problem. I arrived to them not having a car ready. I went through the motion to complete the rental. I even bought the tank of fuel... don't do it. I finally am told I am ready to go after waiting 30 min for them to vacuum out the car and send me on my way with an empty tank. That was the easy part of this experience. Returning the vehicle was a big issue when I arrived at my scheduled drop off time to find doors locked to the office rental cars unlocked and supplies spread all over there parking area. Waited 40 min and got transferred 4 times on the phone with there corporate office to be told all my options to return the vehicle would result in more charges to me for there employees not being there. The when then once I start my return process they tell me my total is 85 dollars more then I was quoted the day before over the phone. Terrible is putting it mildly. read more

I'm giving one star because I can't give zero stars. Im not an easily frustrated person and I signed up for yelp just to give this review. Abysmal service. I called to reserve a rental car over the phone which they said would be available for pickup. I tried to go to the location but it had moved. Their sign is still up with no information of where they moved at the old location and luckily someone told us that they had moved down the street. I got there and they had no cars. There were no cars in the area. Zero cars. I'm renting a car because my car was stolen. So they told me I was on the priority list and they would let me know as soon as possible. It's been 4 days I've called back 3 times and nothing has come of it. This is being covered by my insurance company so I don't have a choice. I am just blown away at the incompetence or the sheer ridiculous nature of this situation. Zero cars? What the heck happened? Is there some Mecca like event going on? I'm extremely lucky that my stolen car was just found but it will probably be out of commission for a week and hertz will just keep me waiting. Very disappointed. read more
