I reserved a vehicle with the intention to tow a camper the next day. I then called the company to make absolutely certain the vehicle had a tow hitch as other companies I have rented from always did. They informed they did not permit towing with their vehicles. I then cancelled the reservation (all within 30 minutes). They charged me a $50 fee for cancelling within 24 hours of the rental, but they, of course, ignored the fact I did so within 30 minutes of making the rental reservation online to begin with. The rental location was closed as I did this late at night, so they had taken no action whatsoever to prepare for my rental. Long story short, I will NEVER do business with this company. Too many others to choose from. Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me. I don't give second chances to do me dirty.

I called ahead of time to confirm my reservation and was told my SUV would be ready at my scheduled reservation time. When I arrived the car hadn’t been cleaned at all. I received a different car with a half empty gas tank. I was charged for an SUV rental even though I was not given an suv. Staff at the Birmingham Avis location was disorganized and less than friendly. My final bill was $120 more than the price I agreed to at reservation time. The Dulles Avis location was very professional and took care of the issue for me. It still made the drop off process long and inconvenient. I will never rent from the Birmingham Avis again. Don’t let the low prices fool you. There are much better options!

have the car i make a reservation for be available when i reserve it for don't be out of cars on the lot when people have reserved a car, there was a whole line of people behind me still when I was forced to take the last available last car. A tesla that was smaller than what I ordered. don't try and upcharge me on the only car left. don't try and sneak in a late fee and say i returned the car a full day after I had dropped the car off and flown home don't try and add on a charging fee, TO THE TESLA I DIDNT ORDER IN THE FIRST PLACE, and say I left it under 50% when I did not. I shouldn't have to call customer service after the fact to get those made-up fees removed.

The customer service lady was very nice, professional with a beautiful personality that made me appreciate doing business with Hertz. I was at the wrong pick up location and she took care of getting me a car where I was. She was great. I wish I got her name.

Like??? Nothing!!! They didn't have the van I ordered. Were absolutely no help in trying to resolve the issue. Gave me an 800 number to talk to a robo-machine! Ordered this van a month ahead of time and they had absolutely nothing to say but they "didn't have the vehicle". I will never ore another rental vehicle through Hertz.

I was given misinformation on my rental that I had booked 8 days before. I had confirmed everything the night before pick up and was told everything was confirmed and ready for pick up. When I went to pick up the rental the reps told me something totally different regarding my payment that had already been pre-paid. I wasnt happen and on top of that didn't understand why I had to call and cancel the reservation when I was right there @ Hertz. I went to anther rental agency from there and had no problems gettin a rental from them.
