Hertz intentionally overbooked the Hartford location by 30 cars and denied our reservation. They didn't offer any assistance in finding an alternative vehicle and were initially reluctant about even granting a refund. We needed to get three hours north of Hartford that day and it was a completely preventable struggle. We can't see ourselves using them again.

I made the mistake of reserving my car at the wrong Hertz location - not at the airport, but at the West Hartford location on New Britain Road. My own error, and it necessitated a taxi ride to the correct location. But once I got there, the young man behind the counter was very helpful and arranged for me to drop the car back off at the airport location, saving me time and money, with no fee for the change in location. The vehicle (Honda SUV) was good, and everyone from Hertz was friendly and helpful. Thank you.

I inadvertently rented my car from West Hartford when I really wanted the airport. Being unfamiliar with the area, I was not sure of the address. The pickup experience at West Hartford was great, getting there was a little more problematic. When I returned the car, I opted to pay the fee to return at a different location, and picked the airport since it was right across the street from our hotel, so much easier to get to. Everyone I worked with had great customer service.

There was a chunk of the tire missing when we went to pick it up. We drove 13hrs and the rotors and brakes were in terrible condition and the tires had no tread. The wheel would shake when trying to stop. Very upset budget couldn’t take the time to look over brakes and rotors before customers came to pick the car up. I was surprised we made it to our destination safely it was that bad

Alamo is my go-to car rental company now. Very friendly service, and their phone agents are really helpful if there's any problems. Especially when you pick up and drop off a car in different locations, which I often do.

The only problem was picking up and dropping off at locations that are NOT airports. Always call the locations before you go and know their hours of operation. These are not 24/7 satellites. One place closed at 6 pm; another at 2 pm!

The cost to rent a "premium" car was very reasonable and brought us out to Stamford. Robert, the office manager, was very personable and nice to work with.

The car (a Chrysler 300) had about 30K miles so it was far from new. It was filthy inside and out. The windshield was dirty on the inside which made it hard to see in some conditions. The oil was overdue to be changed and it dinged a reminder every time we started up to go somewhere. Also, it had a badly warped brake rotor. Also, it was, unfortunately, an uncomfortable car for me and not very nice to drive.

The only difficulty I had was my secretary booked the car under my nickname Jack. My ID says my formal name John. They just didn't know the nickname for John is Jack and even though my photo ID's and passport have my picture and name John, it took them quite some time and I had to find a card that said Jack on it. Fortunately I had a Costco card with that name and my picture, or else I may have been in real trouble and seriously delayed. Lesson? use the name of my ID on all bookings

Landed in Bradley Airport expecting a one day rental from Avis only to find out that my sister made reservations out of Hartford (Avis). This was NOT by any means Avis’s fault, just an inconvenience because I was there for a funeral traveling with my wheelchair bound mother. The thing that I wish Avis could make a deeper dive is convenience especially in the age of technology. Our flight and rental were purchased as s packaged and if the technology could have flagged that is was NO way that we could have made it to Hartford from Bradley by 6:00pm to pick up a rental when our flight landed at 6:27 pm. The good news is that we were able to get a ride from a family member. Thank you.

Great rental car experience for me, from pickup to dropoff. This is a great location because it’s right off the Metro North train station in Stamford and I-95; as convenient as it gets for people heading into and out of Manhattan. And the staff was friendly. I’d rented cars since the pandemic started and none of them were as spotless and perfectly clean like the car I got ro drive from Avis! Thank you for that, Avis!

I had reserved a small car and all that was available was a pickup truck! Also, the remote key fob battery was nearly dead making unlocking the doors and even starting the vehicle a challenge - it took several tries before it was registered. I was too nervous on my trip to stop at a rest stop for fear I wouldn’t be able to continue!

Check in and dropoff were great and car was fine. My only complaint is that it was never made clear nor explained to me that there would be a $500 hold placed on my debit card on top of the price of the rental. I understand the reasons for doing it, I just don't like that it was not explained to me at check in.

Easy transport via shuttle to Dollar office. We walked right up to the desk. It seemed to take Forever but car rental Places always do. We got the car and realized that the numbers didn’t match the paperwork. Turns out the wrong tag was on the right car. That took awhile to straighten out but they did. Coke Machine was broken without a sign stating that but one of the ladies gave us 4 bottles of water which we really appreciated.

Cost was insanely expensive, but all rent a cars are that way right now. Cars was a bit old too. Pick up in Hartford took forever, one worker checking in everyone for Dollar, Thrifty and Hertz. She was great, but it took a long time because she was by herself. Drop off in Portland was a mess. No one to check in cars. Still don’t have a receipt more than 24 hours after drop off.

Cost, Pick-up process, Rental Condition and Quality

Drop-off of rental car. When I went to drop off the rental at 330am the morning of my flight (6am), the rental location was closed. I had to call road side assistance/directions support. Turns out the location is closed until 5am and that Thrifty rentals were to be returned to the Hertz location. I had no problem with the return, but it was stressful to deal with before an early flight in a city I am not familiar with.

convenient location, quoted price (actual price was significantly more!)

When dropping the car off, there was only one employee behind the counter working with a couple. He asked if I was dropping off and then told me to "move the car over there." He didn't say "please" or ask nicely, simply commanded me to do it. I walked back in and he eventually told the couple he'd be back and disappeared for at least 5 minutes. A shuttle driver finally showed up and I walked outside and asked if I could drop the car off with him, explaining that the person behind the counter just disappeared. He said, "I'm just tired of doing returns." He did help but the service and the latter employee complaining about his job left much to be desired.

Staff were very friendly and helpful! And the price was right.

I wish there were a sign that indicated where it was safe to ride over the spikes. We ended up parking outside of the rental location so that we didn't ruin our car. It was also confusing which care rental location to use, because the location on Google Maps no longer exists -- it's now an Amazon location and there's no entrance to the public -- and there were two different car rental locations that listed "Payless" on their signs, so we wasted time driving around until we made some sense of the confusing issues, and we eventually picked one location to see whether it would work out, without knowing for sure that I was in the right place until I actually got inside. Two different people driving around the airport asked me where to find the Payless pickup booth when I still had no idea, so it seems like the setup is a bit confusing in general. PLEASE fix your Google Maps entry, and PLEASE update your signs to make it clear (1) where to go for Payless pickups and (2) where to drive without destroying your car's tires.
