I had an absolutely frustrating experience with Hertz at Tri Cities Airport and would strongly caution anyone against renting from this location. I returned my rental car at Spokane, which was clearly noted on my reservation. Simple enough -- except getting a receipt turned into a nearly all-day ordeal. The Tri Cities desk told me the car hadn't been checked in yet and couldn't issue a receipt. Spokane confirmed it was checked in at 10:15 AM -- right when I dropped it off. So I called Tri Cities back. That's when things got really bad. I was placed on hold for over 20 minutes. I hung up and called back. Eight times. No answer. I left two voicemails. As of writing this review, no one has called me back. All I needed was a receipt to submit for a business expense reimbursement -- something that should take two minutes. To make matters worse, I contacted Hertz Corporate hoping they could step in. I was told that because this is an independently operated Hertz location, Corporate could not assist me. So there is essentially zero accountability and zero recourse for customers. This experience is completely unacceptable. Their reviews online are fully consistent with the treatment I received -- I wish I had read them before booking. I will never rent from Hertz again, at any location. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS HERTZ. THEY FILE FRAUDULENT DAMAGE CLAIMS DESPITE BEING TOLD OF EXISTING DAMAGE. I rented a car for two days at the Spokane Airport Hertz. Despite informing the staff of minor damage during the pickup (and told it was fine), they reported the damage to a recovery agency (PurCo Fleet services). They ridiculously are trying to claim $1000 in damages for a SCUFF that was pre-existing. Luckily, knowing how these shady companies operate, I had taken numerous photographs of the car before leaving the property that showed the PRE EXISTING DAMAGE and upon return. DO NOT RENT FROM HERTZ SPOKANE WASHINGTON. THEY WILL TRY AND RIP YOU OFF. read more

See all

DO NOT RENT FROM HERTZ. We usually rent from enterprise but there was a problem and they ran out of cars, literally. So, we were desperate as we were on a work trip and needed a very large SUV. Hertz was the only place that had one. They GOUGED us on the rate for the car. We nearly tripled what we were paying at enterprise. The guy asked me if I wanted any coverage I said no and he said ok it "comes with the liability coverage". I was like oh ok that works.. I STUPIDLY assumed it was because of how much they were charging me for the car per day. So, I initialed next to the total amount of the rental. He just kept saying it was included with the type of car we had. So, I trusted him like a moron. Come to find out he CHARGED me nearly 600 dollars for the coverage that I declined. I have witnessing who heard me decline it to him and heard him say it was included. If they pulled the footage they'd see the guy was a liar. I called hertz customer service who referred it back to the Spokane location who said I accepted and signed for it and nobody is refunding me. I told them the entire story and they insisted I accepted it and won't refund me the cost of the added insurance. Not to mention that, when we got our car it was FILTHY, and then the next day the check engine light comes on and says there is no oil in the vehicle. At this point we were an hour away from Hertz with Jan packed days so we couldn't get back out. We just kept driving it. Fast forward, o return that car to get a different one as I had to extend my trip and the new car is also filthy. This time a few hours later the car tells me the air in one of the tires is low and I need to fill it. So, I did. I will NEVER rent from hertz again. This was one of the worst rental car experiences, and the customer service is some of the worst I've ever experienced. Stay AWAY from the hertz at Spokane especially. They're liars and scammers and the company won't do anything about it. They're just trying to steal your money. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS HERTZ LOCATION! The Hertz car rental at Spokane Airport is a franchise, and their policies and procedures are a nightmare for customers. I returned my rental at 5 AM for a 6 AM flight, but there was no employee present to accept the vehicle or check it in. The Hertz counter was also empty, leaving me with no option but to leave the car and keys as instructed. Later, I was falsely accused of damage that did not exist when I had possession of the vehicle. The claim stated that "Emma found a ding and scrape on the driver-side front door and quarter panel," yet the repair invoice listed extensive work on the front bumper, grille, headlamp, fender, and door--none of which were issues when I returned the car. The fraudulent charges amounted to $1,432.55, plus a $300 service fee and additional loss-of-use costs. When I contacted Hertz's corporate claims department, they refused to assist, stating that this location is a franchise and they have no control over it. This location is running a shady operation, and I strongly advise against renting from them. If you do, take extensive photos and videos before and after your rental to protect yourself. Avoid this Hertz location at all costs! read more

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

I like Hertz, and am willing to pay more for the convenience, and have had good luck in Hawaii, SLC, DEN, etc. But my wife's experience in Spokane sucked. The car she was told was hers did not match what I had reserved (Buick Enclave, but she was led to a KONA). Tried to upgrade, ended up with a Rav4, so stripped was surprised it did not have roll up windows. Take my advice, pick any OTHER rental agency in Spokane, even AZ Car rental has to be better. Hertz corporate should close this location down, and apologize to all who have used in last several years (looking at other reviews, not a recent or unique experience) YIKES! read more

Do NOT rent from this company. Claimed I dented their car, no proof and then Purco HOUNDED me for payment. Avoid this rental company. Take videos of any car you rent before and after , if you do. But I would avoid this company like the plague. read more

All was well until we picked up our vehicle and were hit with an insane deposit fee and undisclosed LDW daily fees. Hertz corporate was no help because this is a private location. And once I attempted to call them directly was told I couldn't be spoken to regarding the charges because I didn't rent the car, my husband did. Even though the rental was paid for by me. My husband attempted to call back and speak to the manager but was avoided. Hopefully one day he'll answer his phone and grant us reimbursement to the nearly $100 in LDW. read more

I booked a car weeks ago and it was not ready when I checked in. They didn't have a car and said they had a busy morning. Took about 15-20 minutes to wait for a car. Once they have our car, we had to redo the check in process. read more

Booked an economy special. We'll i arrived they tried giving me a 15 passenger van. The original booking came with unlimited miles. They were out of economy vehicles and expected me to take that. I ended up paying more for other vehicles they had available. Then they ended up charging me milage. Its advertised as a special, but its special for them. Wont ever book with them again. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS HERTZ/DOLLAR. THEY FILE FRAUDULENT DAMAGE CLAIMS. I rarely leave reviews, but am inclined to share my terrible experience with Hertz/Dollar Spokane WA. I rented a vehicle from this Spokane location via Expedia, the rental was listed as a "Managers Special". I had the car less than 24 hours and drove it less than 30 minutes. It was returned in the same condition I received it --no damage, no issues, and absolutely nothing flagged during the return process. I was shocked to later receive a damage claim, including photos and a repair estimate. There was no evidence presented that the damage happened while the vehicle was in my care. The timing and lack of transparency raise serious concerns. Communication from the company has been evasive, they have submitted a damage claim with a third party called PurCo and refused to communicate with me directly. I contest this claim and have made that clear. Unfortunately, this Hertz/Dollar location is an independent operator, corporate is unable to get involved - quite unfortunate as I am a regular customer of Hertz/Dollar, and will no longer use them because of this experience. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and feels like an opportunistic attempt to make money off of honest consumers. I urge anyone traveling to Spokane, Washington to avoid this company at all costs! It is obvious by the other Yelp reviews that this problem will happen to other consumers. A company that values customer trust doesn't handle issues this way. read more

I wish I had checked the Yelp reviews before I rented here because my experience was the same as many of the warnings. Fraudulent damage claims followed by equally shady hounding by Pureco. They exploit customers and the franchise arrangement with Hertz leaves no recourse to fight it. They are essentially a criminal operation on wheels. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS HERTZ! It is a franchise and they will not care about anything. Their customer service is the worst customer service I've ever had in my entire life. The car that I picked up had been smoked in when I called them to let them know that the car reeks like smoke whenever you turn on the AC they never picked up the phone when I asked for a refund they refuse to refund me anything never ever pick up a car from this hertz. The hertz company will also not help you with any dispute you have towards any rental you have from this hertz because they are a franchise. read more

Don't bother, they do not take responsibility for anything. We rented a ford edge which was brand new and my wife went to Costco and while unloading the groceries she put her purse with the car keys in the driver side seat made sure the doors were unlocked and walked the cart to the return. When she got back to the car she discovered all the doors had automatically locked which the car is not supposed to do if your keys are inside. We called the local office and they referred us to roadside assistance, roadside assistance was down and couldn't help us and asked us to call back in an hour. So we called the location back and asked if they could bring out a spare set of keys to unlock the car or to see if they had setup remote access for the car and could unlock it, we were told they didn't have the keys and they couldn't help us. When we finally got through to the roadside assistance they couldn't even find the rental, they ended up calling the local office and apparently the rental was in another system and they could only send someone out even though the car wasn't supposed to lock with the keys inside. We were stuck and held hostage by this office and the complete lack of accountability or help. Someone did finally find the spare set of keys but they wouldn't even offer to bring them to us we had to get an Uber and pick them up if we wanted them. We either had to agree to the lockout fee or an Uber both ways so my wife finally agreed and they came and unlocked us. Today I got the bill for the unlock and called to speak with the "manager" Mark who refused to take any accountability and blamed my wife for leaving the keys in the car, because no one puts there purse down and walks to a cart return....with the car in plain sight. If you expect everything to work perfectly and not need any form of human decency from your rental agency then rent from these soulless people otherwise take your business somewhere where you will be treated with a modicum of respect. read more

We had a very smooth and professional experience. Pickup is luckily right by baggage claim (yey to no shuttles) and Hertz is closest. They recognized my status, quick and smooth checkin. Chad even went above and beyond and pulled our van around when he heard our family of 5 had tons of luggage that hadn't come in yet. We appreciated his professional and friendly attitude. Drop off and check out was super smooth. They do a confirmation of no damage to the car for free with receipt. read more

Reservation was ready and pick-up was smooth. Staff were quick and registered an extra driver with no issues. Offered an upgrade, but we declined. Process was made very easy. Will update if needed after check-in. read more

I planned a trip to Spokane to visit my son, paid for a SUV online through Expedia And paid extra for car insuranc.e. When I go to airport, the young man at counter asked if I wanted to purchase extra insurance coverage. I told him I already did that online. He said oh ok ok well sign here and initial here and here and I'll get you the keys . oh and there will be a $600 hold on your card because it's a debit. You will get that back after you turn it in. I signed and it isles the very small print contract. When I got to the hotel I noticed the hold was on $722. So I called back, got the same young man who told me oh it's because if you don't bring the car back full of gas, it's $8.99 per gallon to fill up. I said ok if I bring the car back full, I get the entire $722 held money back? He told me yes, you get the $722 back. once returned, I noticed all but $105 was returned. I called Hertz and was told I bought extra insurance thru them. I said I did not, I bought it thru Expedia. I was told that's not the same insurance and didn't I sign the contract? I explained what I was told and that I was told to sign and initial. I didn't realize he added extra insurance without telling me. I also explained the same young man told me I would get all of the money held returned. Again I was told oh well you signed the contract. I believe this is a sales gimmic- talk fast don't explain and just get people to sign the super tiny print while they are in a hurry. It's a rip off and I will never rent from hertz agian. Beware! read more

We have never been to Spokane before and were pleasantly surprised by our recent experience there even knowing they had a 2-star rating. We arrived not knowing how busy it would be with Gonzaga hosting their graduation along with Mother's Day, and a high school prom all happening that weekend. Hertz was open so we could pickup late on a Friday. Agent was pleasant and thorough. The Altima we received was clean and to our surprise brand new (only 50 miles). We always purchase LDW to cover any mishaps with the car (our personal insurance agent always recommends this). It was raining when we dropped off and we ended up in a lane with poor coverage from the elements. The check-in crew verified we filled up and said they would email us the receipt. Overall it was a great experience and not sure why this Hertz would have a 2 star rating. They completely met expectations and delivered as expected. read more

Easy check in and out with this location, love the deals they have with AAA. Plenty of people to help even late at night!

Hertz is a dishonest company. I was contacted by their claims department WEEKS AFTER returning my rental car that I owed for damage to the windshield. They provided photos that don't actually show any damage, which the claims department acknowledged - and yet still demanded payment from me and threatened collections against me if I refused to pay. Because I had signed a blank damage form with my other rental documents, I had no choice but to pay up. These business practices are likely how they manage to pay their upper executives big bonuses just before filing bankruptcy. I will never rent from Hertz, or their affiliated companies - Thrifty and Dollar Rent a Car again. Move to another counter - Enterprise and Avis are both rated much higher. read more

Hertz has gone down hill. rent from someone else. the Spokane office will try to charge extra for anything, even miles at 29 cents per mile. manager Chad and sales rep, Brad, are rude.

Chris made my rental at Hertz fast and easy. I will be renting from them and asking for Chris each time I travel here.

buyer beware! I have been a Hertz Goldmember for a number of years. This by far was hands-down, the worst service experience ever! we were charged an additional $25 a day when the reservation agent did not acknowledge that it would be an upgrade it was simply "will put you in a RAV 4". Upon our return we were running late for our flight return the keys and it wasn't till we saw our credit card bill that this charge had been added I tried to work on numerous occasions directly with the manager as this location is a franchisee there was no empathy lack of customer service lack of understanding, and I went directly to corporate corporate could not do anything, I am so incredibly dissatisfied. Let me ask you a question to any of, do you just randomly throw out $200 ? we all work hard for our money post Covid. The lack of customer service is atrocious. The service here was disgraceful and disappointing. Do not go to this location as they will find ways to rip you off. I wish there was a zero star. We were ripped off scammed. Don't go to Hertz in Spokane airport. read more

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

First, I'm not a person who typically leaves bad reviews. I just don't say anything. The staff here are good. The policies not so much. I rent for business trips that can be unpredictable. I turned my car in 2 hours and 30 minutes late. I got charged an extra day because of that. I travel on a weekly basis. I have never been charged an extra day for up to 3 hours late at any other agency or location. I called to ask and was told there was nothing they could do. read more

The worst rental company in town, so many hidden fees they will charge you compared to enterprise. But that's not the worst part, the worst part is that they steal cellphones and will physically threaten to come over the shelf and try to man handle you. I'm a concealed carry myself and this situation would have ended badly for your physical aggression and dim witted front desk guy, skinny dude and acts like he just got done sucking off his manager so they booth are in very aggressive emotions towards the customers. When you pay near min wage, you expect to hire the crazy's like this guy who's the front desk clerk, but you don't want me to serve you some papers and take you to court? I rent very often and it's a joke what this staff will do hahah. He can go man handle himself all he wants, but when you make any crybaby threats to anyone, it's going to handled legally and served to the max. Better get a new baby sitter for these min wage workers read more

Well done to Ethan! It was busy when I arrived, on a holiday weekend and this rockstar managed and multitasked the line gracefully and professionally, was super thorough and went way above and beyond walking to the curb to get my husbands signature for our rental car (so he could drive too). Ethan even managed to give me a couple recs on local spots and restaurants. Keep up the great work Ethan! read more

The third party claims firm that works with Hertz, Purco out of Salt Lake City, listened to my story and situation. They agreed with me and have agreed to cancel the claim.

Horrible f ucking service. Called 4 hours ahead to have a rental car ready, showed up and the manager decided to leave early

Hertz Spokane and Orbitz don't play well together-- according to the counter agents who told us all about their "system" and why they had to DOUBLE charge us for a pre-paid Orbitz rental. Why you ask? Because of a voucher system that "just doesn't work." The Hertz Spokane employees AND the manager insisted that their broken system gave them the authority to double charge us. Then they flat out refuse to refund it. Here's what happened: After pre-paying for a rental car through Orbitz, the Hertz counter at the Spokane airport charged us in FULL for the rental, plus the standard deposit. I told them they were wrong-- and showed my prepaid receipt. They insisted I had two choices: I was literally stuck with either double paying for a car reservation(once to Orbits and again to Hertz) or not getting a car *and* losing my prepaid deposit to Orbitz (it was non-refundable). But, the employee said, I can trust them-- the manager would fix the issue in the morning, and when I returned the car my receipt would reflect the correct charge. Unfortunately, upon returning the car, the manager stated he had been trying to fix it for four business days. And again I was given a lesson on their system and how vouchers work. I cannot stress this enough-- I DO NOT CARE how their system works. Having already paid in full, but being charged in full AGAIN by employees who knew full well that they were double billing you is theft. Word of advice: NEVER pre-pay a rental car! And Avoid Hertz Spokane: there are plenty of rental car options in Spokane. I've had great service at both Avis and Enterprise in Spokane. I should have read the yelp reviews before I reserved the car. Orbitz and Hertz Spokane should both be ashamed. Just because you can't get your systems to work together does not give you the right to double charge my credit card. And promising to remove the charge 5 days later is not an acceptable resolution. read more

I am super brand loyal to Hertz. I've never had a problem renting with them, always get great vehicles to drive, pricing is comparable (or better) and when things do go wrong they take care of you asap. My one comment - and it's not about this location which was helpful, friendly and fast - is that I wish you could have all of your primary drivers currently covered on your personal insurance able to drive the rental without an additional fee. This rental location is in the lower level of the airport and you walk out to a small row of cars to pick up your vehicle. It's easy in and easy out on both pickup and return. read more

SCAM warning. Was relieved they had my $216 contract price rental. Young lady said "all you have to do is initial here, here, and here." Those initials cost me an additional $220. I NEVER take extra insurance coverage because I have primary rental car coverage through my fancy travel credit card. But apparently, at this location, they dont have to mention they are doubling the cost of your rental. Make them print out what the rental will cost you before you leave, (after what ever they make you sign to get the car) and DONT accept their email print out on return (have them give it to you on the spot). read more

Hello, The Spokane Hertz Office charged me additional charges for a car after I booked it through Hotwire. The booking was done at a time when I was renting a car to drive to my fathers funeral who died of Covid. Shame on Hertz for taking advantage of a person when they are grieving from a death of a parent. NEVER USE HERTZ.... PERIOD..... read more

The pits !!! I would never rent any vehicle from Hertz ever again. They over charged for an SUV that my wife used for a trip to Spokane, WA. We rented through Hotwire.com and paid for everything with them. She picked the SUV up and was told insurance did not cover SUVs, so we spent $299 more than Hotwire charged for 1 week rental. The help that Mark provided was so feeble it was not even funny, a credit for $17, I drink that much in 1/2 hour at the bar. In future trips I will contact rentals directly to reserve and pay them directly too, but NOT Hertz. My wife wanted to turn SUV in 1 day early and was told she would be surcharged for early drop off, really, I think they could take the car back early and rerent it. She needed to stay near airport to return vehicle next day. Again this was not a joke. read more

They charged me for an extra day because they said I got my car before the time I reserved it for. My flight hadn't even left at the time they said I picked it up! I have called several time and have heard nothing. read more

0 if it would let me. These people are horrible. I rented for over a year with them while traveling to Spokane for business. They sent a bill for a roadside assistance charge...when it was their rental that didn't start at no fault of my own. The manager Mark actually said well there wasn't anything else wrong with the car so you must of left a light on. Seriously?? They sent a bill newrly 6 months later which I actually never got- they then subsequently sent bill collectors after me. I literally spent thousands of dollars renting from them over the course of 2019 and this is how they treated me. Literally rent from any other company - this location embarrassingly terrible. read more

Not surprised this business has a 2 star rating. Both clerks at the front desk were such smart asses that I just canceled my reservation. Ended up getting an even better deal on the spot at the next company over. Hertz needs to get some new people at the Spokane airport. read more

Hertz billed me an extra $300 for keys that they lost. Walked in to the airport dropped the keys in the black box as an employee was looking at me. I get the bill the next day and had the $300 charge on it. I called to find out and they stated they never got the car keys. Not even sure if they took the time to look for them.

Lookin forward to canceling my hertz gold membership status and using a different car rental service. read more
