Checking the car out from SRQ took over an hour. Reason for long lines? Short staff and same process for getting a car that Budget used in 1980’s . It should have been faster.

It took too long to process and pick up the car. Also, they were out of Lincolns and Chrysler 300s so I got an "upgrade: Cadillac which had a vibrating seat. It was uncomfortable when 1st discovered. Otherwise, a good experience

Your site lets you make same-day reservations, but Hertz doesn’t accept reservations made less than 24 hours in advance. If I’d have known my flights would be cancelled, clearly I’d have made a reservation then. Budget Rental was able to provide us a nice vehicle immediately with no reservations. I can’t trust any travel plans made through your site because of this.

Hertz counter at SRQ closes at midnight. We missed a flight connection and were put on the very last plane to SRQ that arrived at 12:10 AM. Hertz had somebody hang around until all the customers on that plane who had reservations were taken care of.

Wish the Hertz in Estero had Sunday drop off so we didn’t have to drive the 30 minutes to the airport. Even if they just had a 1-2 hour window for drop off on Sunday.

For people who have made a reservation in advance, it would save a great amount of time if they could go straight to the parking lot kiosk to get their rental as opposed to standing in line at the rental counter in the terminal.

Pickup was a bit slow, as it was Easter Sunday and the Dollar and Thrifty desks were closed, and I had to queue up at Hertz. Otherwise, the service was fine. The car was OK, but could have had more baggage space behind the third row of seats.

They share a rental desk with other rental companies. It was busy and they only had one agent working the desk. He did a great job and was moving really fast, but it was just one guy. When it came time for our rental, the agent had to login again to the payless system, which took about 5 minutes. So, in all, we waited approximately 50 minutes to get our vehicle, causing us to miss a dinner reservation. I just wish I had known prior to renting that this would be the case, I guess it was still a good value, but unexpected delay.

Car was clean and new. Pickup and drop off were easy.

Charged me for 7 gallons of gas after I returned it with a full tank. They refunded the charge after I complained, but I don't see how it was applied in the first place. I had filled up 2 minutes from the drop off location.

We upgraded and extended our rental. The guy at the airport couldn't have been more pleasant or helpful. Upgraded us to a 2026 Suburban and only charges us for a regular minivan. Being a family of 5 this was very helpful.

Car was fine. Very small gas tank, though.

According to Kayak, I was supposed to be charged an agreed-upon amount from March 29 through April 30. However, Alamo charged me for a one-month rental at the rate I had been quoted for the entire period and then tacked on an additional fee for the remaining 2 days.

The Avis desk is understaffed and it takes much longer to pick up a car compared to other companies. I shouldn’t have to wait an hour to pick up a car. The drop off was chaotic. It wasn’t clear at all what you needed to do. Enterprise and Hertz are much better customer experience. And no one is using that old fashion printer anymore. It’s time to modernize!

When we arrived at the “service” desk there was a line of approximately 40 customers waiting to be “serviced”. There was a “preferred” customer line, but that line was almost as long as the “non-preferred” customers. It was over an hours wait to get “served”. I have two words for Avis — never again.

The car was nice.

I called to let them know I needed the car two days earlier. Had to leave a voice mail and got no return call. Didn't know where to find the shuttle. Took forever to process paper work. When we went to return the car, there was no one there. We had to call two different numbers to get someone there to check the car in and give us a ride to the airport. HORRIBLE!!!! And it wasn't cheap either.
