No employees was available when I called for two days. Never returned voicemail. Car description was incorrect in multiple ways making it difficult to find the car. No employee onsite in garage to assist. Car was thick with cigarette smoke and could not be driven for 2/3 of the rental time because it needed to air out. The weather was 30 degrees so driving with windows all down was not an option. I would appreciate a refund and if possible a future credit to have a different experience with Hertz as I could never say anything good about them or this entire experience.Reviewed Feb 12 2025

I had reserved an suv, and the agent said that at no point during that day was there an suv available at his site. The car they gave me was clean inside, but the outside had scratches all over, and dings and other marks as well.Reviewed Oct 24 2024

The system allowed a booking for a pickup after-hours. In the 21st century with all the hi-tech?! It was a mess to cancel, had to call multiple times! Had to rebook last minute at premium rate! Will never again book thru Expedia / Kayak!Reviewed Oct 22 2024

When I called Hertz to cancel they said they did , turns out they didn’t . I had to call Expedia so they can do my refund a whole week later .Reviewed Oct 14 2024

They hide the fine print when you select the manger special deal and then try to give you an electric car I didn’t reserve a car days in advance for them to tell me all they had was electric vehicles for that reservation and I had to upgrade to get a gas car which I was charged and upgrade fee just found it ridiculous that I made a reservation and was pawned off with this electric car forcing me to upgrade as my trip was not drivable with a electric car.Reviewed Sep 24 2024

You guys at Kayak, Expedia and Hertz screwed up big time. While you showed us a confirmed reservation, upon arriving at the rental facility, Hertz staff informed us that they didn’t have any vehicles available for our rental and that Expedia and Kayak causes this issue frequently for them. We had a day planned in Portland but due to lack of rental car, we couldn’t do anything around town.Reviewed Jul 7 2024

The care was banged up with dents and damage on all sides. The tire pressure warning was persistent no matter how much air I put in.. only to the recommended PSI. The car smelled like cigarettes and had burn holes in the driver seat. The rims were scrapped up very badly as well and tires had big chunks of rubber missing and or flapping around. The car was disgusting.Reviewed Jul 2 2024

I searched for Portland airport and I was given a rental car 20 min off site from the airport, this caused massive problems. With getting it and dropping off. The customer service from hertz was THE WORST. I was struggling 3 or more times to call for various issues, it took more than 30 min plus to get a person on the phone each time and each time they were not helpful. My plane was delayed through no fault of my own obviously and they almost didn’t hold my rental agreement. When I asked to move the place of return (again another 30 min on hold ) I was going to be charged another $160. So even tho I got a deal through a third party, getting to and from cost me another $100 in Uber fees. Ridiculous and I have never used hertz and I won’t againReviewed Jun 20 2024
