Great car and great customer service. The only reason I didn’t put 5 stars is because the car kept telling me maintenance required since the first time I got in. Feel like that should be taken care of... See more

The customer service was not stellar

The customer service at pick up and drop off was very unpleasant. The drop off especially…the associate was extremely rude. Also, the vehicle smelled like cat urine, where we had to purchase an air freshener. I absolutely love Hertz, but this experience was less than stellar.

Appreciate the availability of a vehicle with ~3days advanced notice, but the vehicle was not worth the value compared to what I paid. The small Toyota was the most basic car I've ever rented and was kind of hesitant in hwy traffic. Hertz car rental has always been great no matter which state I've traveled to, from MT to MN, but this by far the worst car option from Hertz and also that compared with Enterprise. Get rid of that vehicle, lol. Thanks!

It was easy to pick up our car and it was in very good condition and ran beautifully.
We took it back to the Airport in Milwaukee and the man there was not helpful. He told us just to take the elevator upstairs. Once up there we were told we should have left our luggage downstairs so we had to take them down. A better explanation would have been very helpful. Thank you

Great car and great customer service

Great car and great customer service. The only reason I didn’t put 5 stars is because the car kept telling me maintenance required since the first time I got in. Feel like that should be taken care of before renting out. Other than that great experience.
