Hertz

Pros: Nothing not offered by competitors
Cons: Usually higher prices; dishonest and irrelevant customer service

I rented an intermediate car (Mazda 626 or similar) from Hertz in San Diego as a #1 Club Gold member.

When I got to the car I was surprised to find a Cavalier, definitely a compact car (and classified as such by all of Herta's competitors)....

Pros: Good company if you plan
Cons: If you don't plan then you pay!

I have always found Hertz to be an excellent company and they offer good cars and great value "IF" you plan ahead. Many of the complaints about Hertz result from the fact the people don't plan and amble up to an airport counter and ask the salesperson...

Pros: fast dropoff, often in terminal
Cons: cost, existing damage on cars

I have rented mid-size cars @ O'hare chicago & Kansas City Intl recently. Both rentals went well-but... In KC they tried to rent me a car with existing body damage(pass. side)I refused and was issued another car which took about 4 minutes. I HIGHLY...

Pros: I Still Gladly Let Hertz Put Me in the Driver's Seat
Cons: None except a possible wait in line. More people seem to be in their lines.

I have been traveling for business and pleasure for the past 12 years. In that span, I have used just about every car rental company with an airport presence. Ten years ago, I would probably have preferred Budget over all the others, including Hertz, but...

Pros: Neverlost on board GPS, great selection of cars, consistent great service
Cons: Can be pricey if you don't know the loopholes

I rent cars all over the country weekly and have had great service consistently for years. There were a few times I had to rent from the competition. The bottom line there is no competition - Hertz is always one step ahead of the rest.

The...

Pros: They rent cars
Cons: Sometimes

Usually, when I fly to Belgium or Germany with Ryanair I rent a car from HERTZ. As a customer of Ryanair you are entitled to preferential rates but I don't go down that road. I don't hire directly from Hertz either but use a consolidator's...

Pros: Renting from Hertz was effective and efficient – a powerful combination!
Cons: Hertz may be more expensive than some cut-rate alternatives – but worth it.

I generally love to travel – particularly to areas I have not visited before. My previous positions gave me ample opportunity to combine business and my passion for travel. Unfortunately, it has been a while since I had the chance to travel for the...

Pros: Used to be the best!
Cons: Customer misinformation!

Briefly, Hertz has misclassified Chevy Cavalier as an intermediate size car. At other companies this care is classified as a compact car.

If you are comparing the prices, be aware that you are not comparing apples to apples. And at Hertz, you...

Pros: Easy-to-understand directions and map, Yellow Pages capabilities, speaks directions
Cons: Typing in information is a hassle, GPS does not reach all areas

After renting a car with the Neverlost in it, you will wonder how you were ever able to travel without it! The Neverlost can be rented from Hertz along with several models of cars, and truly makes a vacation or business trip in an unknown city much more...

Pros: Great service - fast check in and check out.
Cons: Watch out for extra charges

I really didn't want to put almost 2000 miles on my van, so we decided to rent a car for our vacation from Missouri to Louisiana during Christmas. I checked the rates at various companies and found that Hertz had a holiday special. I was able to get a...

Pros: Was the only company in town doing one-way rentals to JFK.
Cons: More expensive than most over rental companies for no apparent reason.

I have only rented from these people once. We had to get from Maryland to New York - JFK in August 2000 and leave the car there, so obviously we needed a one-way rental. I usually rent from Thrifty but they do not have a division at JFK, and Hertz was...

Pros: #1 Club, Cars less than 6 month old or less than 12,000 miles,free upgrades prices
Cons: None as yet

I have updated my opinion to include my latest rental experience.

I travel between Dublin and the UK on a regular basis and until recently used Avis for car hire to get me from the airport to my meetings.
However my company decided to...

Pros: Never Lost System!!
Cons: None for us at all

We recently drove to Denver from Kansas City, this is approximently 600 miles. We knew our cars just wouldn't make the trip so we looked into rental cars.
Hertz had the size of car we wanted at a decent price.
We picked up a 2001 Mazda 626, it...

Pros: They did stand behind their word
Cons: Car had apparently not been serviced.

It has been draining me with all that has been going on in the world around us the past several weeks. My dear brother Gungian and Mrs. G live in close proximity to the Pentagon, where not too long ago Gungian's office was.
I have a younger brother...

Pros: Efficient and friendly staff. GPS.
Cons: Was not in airport.

Let me first say that I didn't choose Hertz . It chose me. I used Hotwire.com, and the purchased the lowest price car rental. The lowest price happened to be Hertz .

Arrival

When we first arrived in ...
