Poor|Apr 2021Staff sucks, car sucks, service sucks, if you like being shown one number and then charged double that number after the rental is completed, and then charged randomly for tolls months later rent here.
Basically take the reservation quote that you et and multiply it by 3 because they nickel and dime you

Poor|Aug 2022Confirmation quoted $304 to pay at pickup. The agent charged me $504 (security deposit and price of rental). As I was not prepared to pay that much at pickup, my credit card was declined. Had they been honest about the payment due at pickup I would have made sure I had enough on my card. Additionally, they refused to take a debit card even under extenuating circumstances and left me and my friend stranded the day of my sister’s wedding rehearsal.

Poor|Aug 2022I rented a subcompact car (Kia Rio) for 3:00 p.m, and the cost came out to $86 and change. I arrived at about 3:05 - 3:10 and was told, "We were supposed to be closed at 3:00 and since you came late, we only have a minivan." A much larger, and less fuel-efficient vehicle than I had requested. After filling up the tank, and returning the minivan, I got the emailed receipt and realized that I was charged $107. So I spent more on gas, and was charged more for a vehicle that I had not even requested in the first place. The van (Chrysler Pacifica) itself was very clean, and equipped with some nice features. Best CarPlay implementation I've seen thus far, and the lane assist was a good touch.

Poor|Jan 2022The guy in Chicago couldn't care less if we rented a car or not...told us at 10am the car wasn't ready and to come back at 12 but not too close to 12 because they close...car wasn't washed or cleaned, smelled like smoke and kid inside said car has been there for 3 days...no washer fluid, really bad blades and wantd us to drop off at a different location in town than we indicated....when we called him about that and saw it on sheet he couldn't care less...said call Budget HQ...I want my money back! I want an apology...i want something for the time, trouble, smokey car, bad wipers and overall incompetence of the company

Very good|Feb 2023The undisclosed manager's special's vehicle was a full size pick-up truck - a Dodge 1500 - much to my surprise. The daily rental cost was a great value for the money, but the cost of fuel was substantially higher than I had budgeted, given that I was anticipating a vehicle with a much smaller engine at this price point. The initial QR code I was given to exit the parking garage in the Chicago Loop also did not work, leading me to remain stuck for several minutes at the exit gate until I was able to get through to a human being at Hertz and explain my situation. The second QR code I was given opened the gate immediately. The 1500.Dodge Ram was offered at an extremely low daily for this make and model of truck, though I was not expecting to drive such a large vehicle in and out of downtown Chicago where parking for vehicles of this size can sometimes be difficult, not to mention the savings I earned from lower rental costs were offset by the costs of refueling a vehicle that only averaged 17 mpg.

Poor|Dec 2022Worst car rental experience ever! I got a late night voicemail less than 12 hours before I was supposed to pick up my rental saying the location for my pick up was closed (I had made my reservation 3 months prior). On the morning when I was supposed to pick up my car to go home for the holidays, Hertz informed me there was no car available for me in the entire Chicago area. I was on the phone with them for an hour and they did absolutely nothing. I will never rent from them again.

Poor|Jun 2021The car was nice aside from scratch marks on the ceiling (I'm serious) and screeching tires
It was an absolutely terrible experience. I arrived on time and as I arrived was getting a phone call from the facility. They informed me when I walked in that they were calling bc they didn't have a car (I've had this reservation for over a week) and that it would be two hours. That is unacceptable. I booked a car and I had somewhere to be. They then said two other people were waiting too but they would put me ahead of two other customers if I agreed to an upcharge for a more expensive car that was being sent there. I said I didn't feel I should be charged for to accommodate their error but they said they were doing me a favor by putting me ahead of the two other people. What a terrible way to run a business. I agreed but after some push back, again I had somewhere to be. It still took 30 minutes for that car to get there. While we waiting the same person and another employee were making fun of customers calling in on the phone because they thought their questions were stupid. There did not seem to be an sense of urgency about being so behind or anything being done to help the customers who are paying them good money. While waiting they provided me my updated quote. It was as I expected and planned for. We went through the ID stuff etc. Finally the car arrives and I go to pay and they let me know it's the amount they said PLUS a security hold of $300. I put money aside specifically for this and no where, including our 30+ waiting time, were we told about a security hold. I didn't have enough money on my card to do this. My partner, who was with me, then had to go in and do the Driver's licence etc all over again so we could finally get going. Honestly I want all of my money back. It was absolutely ridiculous. I am a customer support manager and if an employee or my company dealt this way I would be embarrassed.

Okay|Oct 2020At the time of the pick up, the Branch Manager was very easy going, helpful, and the process was fast. That is a huge plus on this management portion. The Manager did give me an option to pick between three vehicles available at that moment, huge plus. Credit Card wouldn't work, they accepted my Bank Debit Card, great deal for me.
There are two things. the Vehicle I got was dirty in the inside with coffee spilled and looked like it did not get vacuumed thoroughly, finger prints all over windows and stereo. My mistake for not checking thoroughly, due to being in a rush to get to work right after that. I thought due to COVID they would have cleaned the car better. And the second one not so much on them but advise to the Customer/user, make sure to rent a vehicle which you know you will be comfortable driving-I got a Nissan Altima, which I am not used to driving smaller cars, and I am working at an Airport. Driving in the expressway felt so unsafe specially with the Chicago Wind, the wind moves the car very easily and driving in higher speed in expressway was not easy with a smaller vehicle. I called to ask if I can have it switched to a heavier car and I was told they can't, only if there was any mechanical issues with the Car-what about safety? Maybe this is for Enterprise and not this location, but if your customer doesn't feel safe due to the driving needed to be done, they should allow something like this to be an exception to the Rule. I may be wrong but this is how I feel at the moment.
