This was the easiest and quickest pick up I’ve ever experienced. Craig Eubanks made sure I understood what I was signing when picking up the rental and ensured I was comfortable with the vehicle offered. When returning, Craig made sure the experience was great and offered to make the experience better if it was not what I expected. Great customer service. I will return again.

Pros:

Didn't end up renting the car because the reservation made note that there was shuttle service to the rental car facility from the Cleveland airport. I was instead booked for a location 24 minutes in the opposite direction of where I needed to be going. I ended up booking directly with Enterprise at the airport.

Cons:

Accurately describe the location of the car rental facilities when making the reservation.

Taking a lyft to downtown saved me a lot of money vs renting at the airport, but the downtown facility is in an old building. It wasn't as clean (the building... hertz was cleaned and a step up... but getting to it you walk through some ugly)

There are not enough words in this space to explain my horrible and beyond frustrating experience renting a car in Cleveland (airport area) through Hertz. The rental process via Kayak was fine. However, if you ever have a problem with a service booked through Kayak, there is no help from Kayak. Period. This will also be the last time I use Kayak due to their lack of customer service. From the Hertz standpoint, I was told three times by the phone rep that I had to pick up my car at the airport location, which was not near where I thought I had to pick it up (downtown). He insisted. So I went to the airport location to get the car only to be told I had to go downtown. I told them the phone rep insisted I come to the airport even though I was willing, and thought I would go to the downtown location. They said they can't rent a car to me unless I paid a nearly $700 additional fee because I had prepaid for my rental. What does that have to do with anything? Then I was told that I couldn't pick up downtown because their office is in fact closed. I asked why Hertz allowed me to book from an office that wouldn't be open the day I needed to get the car, and confirmed to me it would be available. I was told "It happens all the time and we don't know why." A very long, frustrating time later, and after speaking with two local counter reps and two phone reps, I was able to rent the car from the airport location but told I had to return it to the downtown location and not at the airport. When I returned it to the downtown location as instructed, the first thing out of the counter rep's mouth was "why didn't you just return it at the airport, it would be easier, you can do that you know." He did accept the return at his office and was pleasant. The biggest problem I had was at pick up and return with the phone reps, both who did not have very good English and didn't listen to me, or understand me, and were not willing to assist. No one ever answered a local office number. When I asked to speak to a manager on the national customer service line I was told there is no manager on duty because it was a Saturday. Really? Doubtful. Counter reps push the problem to the national call center, and vice versa. There is also a very big difference in how they treat pre-paid clients with on the spot bookings. Anyway, it was a really horrible experience and never again will I rent from Hertz. They don't know their head from their tail, and have no desire to rectify the problem THEY created, not me.

Pros:

That location needs more staff; the one person working the desk always seemed very tense, and didn't communicate very well ( different people on pickup and drop off). They were so overwhelmed that the fuel level was just written down as full without checking, I went out to get in and saw that it was less than half; the guy who accompanied me out agreed that it was, but then went I came back a week later with the fuel at precisely the same level as when I received it, the guy there seemed to think it was supposed to be full. So glad I took a picture to be able to correct him. (What if I had allowed him to just send me an email later and not check the car when I was there as he suggested?) Also didn't appreciate my cc number being written out on paper, along with the 3 number code and not even explaining the need for that. Maybe this location could get in the late 20th century and use the tech available to not have to do that? Honestly, this was just one grumpy and tense place; I'll not use this location ever again.

Cons:

Hertz needs to have more staff and needs to stress the communication skills that make customer service the linchpin of rental services and invest in technology to keep cc numbers safer.

James was amazing! The check in/check out process was smooth and seamless. Would definitely rent here again if needed.

My biggest complaint would be the run around I got with the pickup to where I had to go back home and come back cause it wasn’t told to me until I got there that I couldn’t use my debit card and I needed to go thru a credit check before I could rent the vehicle. Good thing it was sorted out with the unfortunate raise in the cost but afterwards everything was fine, even though the time wasted was stressing initially.

Cons:

It was actually a bad experience. I inadvertently selected your downtown location. My intent was to utilize your airport location but your airport representative would not allow me to pick the rental car up from the airport without paying a $133 additional fee even though cars were available. Needless to say, that was extremely unfair and inconvenient. Being a traveler from out of state, I know nothing about downtown Cleveland but was forced to go there. In addition, your rental rates have become extremely too high (overall). Nearly $75.00 for a basic car is unacceptable. I feel cheated. Going forward, Budget will be my last choice.

Pros:

Pick up was awful. The location where we reserved simply didn't have any cars and the employees did not care AT ALL and made NO attempt to rectify the situation. No manager on site nor did the employees even provide me with a customer service phone number.

Cons:

I did call the national number and they told me there was a car available at the airport location. I then requested to be transferred to customer service and they confirmed this, but I had to insist that they reimburse me for an Uber to the airport ($45)--it was not offered to me.

Pros:

The car that I was given was a 2017 Chevy Cruze. The exterior of car was nice and the interior was as well

Cons:

Pick up was so confusing there were no signs to point you in the direction of the building. I requested a pick up time of 12:00pm so I could make it to my destination in a reasonable time frame but I was unable to because when I arrived to Avis there were no cars in the parking lot, I was told to come back in 2 hours because they were waiting on cars to be delivered.
