No issues. Did a pick up and drop off with two different locations 5 hours apart. Very smooth and Hertz has always been easy. Defiantly check the off airport sites for cheaper rates

Rental car prices are way too high right now. The morning I dropped the car off I drove thru a huge garage FULL of available rentals, so, saying that it’s a supply issue would be untrue.

Everything was great but the pick up, bad experience to pick up. Over an hour waiting, and one of the two front desk worker was not a happy camper. The younger guy was good but the other person was in bad mood.

Car had no spare tire, tire blew up were on hold on 4 different phones at same time, nobody answer, stranded in the middle of nowhere. After 5 hours standed had to take a lift from 429 to Gainesville (1hr 45 min) $179.00. Didn't get my deposit back. Spoke to a Manager (he even spelled his name for me) when my husband and son went to give the keys back, nobody knew the Manager. No papaerwork at all, blaming COVID-19 for this.

There was no inspection of the vehicle when I picked it up at the airport. As a result I'm involved in an insurance claim for damage, which i'm disputing.

Easy to drop off the car at the end of rental period

The car being rented had dirty windows, smelly, and lacked floor mats. The staff wanted me to sign off on the paperwork about the car's condition before I had a chance to inspect the car

We were fortunately upgraded at pickup to an intermediate SUV, which was helpful because it meant we had a little more room to work with for our trip for the holidays.

We had a slow leak in a tire. I spent an hour on the phone with roadside service trying to find a way to get the tire fixed, and was recommended a tire shop 25 minutes away. I called two places that were closer to me in the next 2 minutes and found that one of them could see me right away and went there. They checked the tire, determined that it needed replaced, but didn't have the replacement in stock. They filled it so that it could carry me for a while longer. I stopped at an off-airport location to see if they could replace the vehicle and was told they couldn't access my rental information because I was renting from an airport location. Why in the world are they on different systems that can't interact? Two days later I called roadside again and the person could not get ahold of the local airport location but could see their inventory and told me that a vehicle should be available if I show up and tell them we tried to call ahead and I needed a vehicle. They did have some SUVs but they were slotted for pickup later in the day, so they sent me off with a mini-van instead. This was an acceptable replacement for me and I was just glad to have the issue finally resolved. The whole experience was quite overwhelming, and I would hope that such a simple issue could be resolved more quickly and easily.

Unprofessional and rude. Sticky note on the counter “closed til noon” for our 8am pickup. Was not notified of this prior. On the list of companies I’ll never use again and will implore others to never use either.

I had a reservation set and when I arrived the credit card I had to put down for the reservation was a company that Avis does not use apparently. The agent refused the credit card and basically wiped her hands clean of myself and my fiancé and we were stuck having to go with another company.

Loved backup camera

Counter closed at pickup. Had to go to the sister counter where there was a big line and it took forever. No one seemed to know what was going on and seemed to be in no hurry to get any of us out of there. They were friendly tho. Then drop off at PBI very poorly marked. Plus I thought the rate was high.
