Poor|Jan 2023

They did not have any cars available when I went to pick it up. They tried extremely hard for hours, contacting every other Enterprise in town to try to find me a car, but the supply was so tight that they were not able to get me one. I was able to reschedule and the staff did try extreme hard to help me, but there was a major error which left me without a car when I needed it.

The pickup counter was closed during regular hours. I sent my associates twice over 2 days and nobody was there. It made for a bad experience for the employee I sent. We rented a separate car and cancelled this booking.

The car should have had winter tires as we arrived in Kelowna when it was very snowy and slippery on the roads. We were told we did not need winter tires yet we would be responsible for anything that happened on the road even if as a result of the weather conditions. We definitely should have had winter tires.

I cannot think of anything that could be better. The company was true to it’s word. As a seldom user of car rentals I am always suspicious of their business ethics, (ie charging for damage to the car that I am not responsible for). I have experienced this in the past with two separate car rental companies. Bravo Hertz, easy pick up/drop off, reasonable rate and friendly staff.

At time of booking it was not clear that I was not getting insurance directly with Hertz. At pick up, they tried to upsell me on the insurance again, even tough I had paid for it. They had no records of the insurance being paid. Also, not impressed that there is a surcharge on winter tires in WINTER in CANADA. Winter tires are required to drive over mountain passes, so in my opinion it seems like a money grab that is not disclosed up front. Doing the minimum legal requirement just looks bad in my opinion.

This location was in downtown Vancouver and the parking garage smelled of urine, it was quite dirty and the staircase area smelled of urine and other disgusting smells. Pickup location was not clear. Office closes after 5. The staff was very accommodating, very helpful and checkin was very pleasant. Got good $$ value for what I got. I had booked a midsize SUV, it wasn't available to they gave me a minivan and a $50 credited due to inconvenience of not getting what I booked. There are no gas station in the near vicinity so plan a gas fill up much in advance. I ended up paying $33 for 1/10 th tank of gas that i was short.

Paid for the car with extra cleaning it was covered in sand. Windshield cad a chip and passenger side door had a white scrape. Trying to to track anyone down from inside to report was impossible, and trying to get an actual human being on the phone was non existent. 4 to 5 numbers and endless messages. I tried to fill out their form on line, “we’re sorry your request can not be processed at this time”. I took photos instead. What I didn’t take photos of was the fuel gage. I returned to the same level and got nailed with a 17 litre fuel charge. “You took photos of the damage you should have taken photos of the fuel level.” Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty are all the same company, going to try elsewhere out of spite next time.

The worst rental car experience. The car was fine but the PICKUP was awful. I waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for my vehicle to be ready along with two other people and I had made the reservation the morning the day before. Why was the vehicle not ready? I have no idea. I completely missed my appointment that I had due to this. I’m extremely disappointed.
