Hertz Rent A Car

The car that I rented had the check engine light come on halfway through my trip. And then another…read morewarning came on saying that it needed an oil change. I went to the closest Hertz office where I was and they told me that they don't change the oil on the cars on schedule they let it go double the length. Then the people at the office they do not want to replace the car for me. They told me incorrectly that I had to go back to the place where I rented the car which was 400 miles away. I looked on the website and their website clearly says you can do these exchanges at any Hertz location. When I brought that up to them. They acted like oh yes, of course that's what it means. I caught them lying and when they did finally relent and give me a car, it smelled like an ashtray had no gas in it and was filthy. We got through our trip and that was fine, but I will not be renting from Hertz again.

Fraud alert! The woman who took my return vehicle which was spotless and had a full tank of gas,…read moreinsisted that I leave and she would email my receipt or I could wait half an hour for her to inspect it. She then fraudulently charged me for 2 gallons of gas plus addition fuel tax for 25$ extra! Drop your car off anywhere but here or wait to make sure she doesn't commit fraud while your back is turned! Liar and a thief! Extended headache having to contact customer service and try to prove your case! Absolute nightmare! Keep all receipts and take photos before and after or prepare to pay more to the gluttonous thief's! !

So I've never towed things with my personal truck before , but today was the day. Before starting I…read morehad to go buy a $40 dollar hitch for the trailer. I know they sell them there but they were out of stock. And turns out Uhaul will hook it up for you, and unhook during business hours. Even tested lights out for safety. This was the only place in a 50 mile radius that had cargo trailers. Paid quickly , went to do my move and it went smoothly . Arrived right at 5pm, and the guy working there made this such an easy experience. Unhooked it , was sent a final receipt through email, and all in one day. This place is tiny but mighty.

I rarely write a negative review about a business, as experiences in customer service especially…read morecan vary due to the employee on staff. However the extreme disregard for our requests and needs lead to a loss of income *and* increased expenses. The trailer we had reserved was unavailable when we arrived at this location to do a time sensitive hauling job in SF. We were not called to let us know it had not been returned and had the unfortune to have to drive there to find out. Upon arriving we were handed a 1800 # to try and rent from a different office. I requested Travis to offer assistance in navigating the call to get a replacement, to which he refused. I asked again as it is literally his job to provide customer care. He actually raised his voice and told me it didn't make a difference if we called or if he did. He was holding his phone and leaning back in his chair like I was disturbing him from scrolling on his phone. Attempting to reason with him is not going to work. We ended up having to rent past the bridge, and after doing the job loading/unloading 1720 lbs, we had to drive back over the bridge to return the trailer in traffic. This also added money for driving multiple axels to the bridge toll. It created a significant time crunch, and had to cancel another job that day. When calling the Fedex office to see if we could drop it at the office we originally rented from, we were informed in would cost us $150 to do so. Would never rent from this office again and truly believe the five star reviews are false and should be flagged. "... never had him get angry with me or give me a hard time." why would anyone put that in a five star review? Please.
