The car that I was given was dirty and Ws nit to my standard. Not only was it dirty but also was using more gasoline than anticipated. It drove like n old vehicle I tried to change at the airport location since the downtown had close early. Thrvtrest ent I experir ce was horrible from an agent and Lala. She was unprofessional told me I had to wait.30 minutes. An hour sent by and she refuse to give me service. She kept bfudhing me off told me I was not platinum and get seek g everyone but ne. There are 2 other agrnts they told me I had to see her but she refuse to give md service. After back and forth another agent sas me and gave the exchange. It took over 2 hours to exchange a csr with no long line. This ssx a terrible experienceand I don't hnink I will ever rent from Hertz agsin . Just because I was not platinum I cold not get service? I had hold ststid which ghry claim hsd expired. So now we don't see individuals as customers? All shod be treated with dignity and respect. The Maplewood Cleveland airport was beyond horrible. The downtown location wss where I was given dirty old car.Reviewed 23 Dec 2025

I could never talk to a person when I did. They couldn't help me. I never picked up the car. I chose to go with somebody else Hertz sucks badly. Their website is c***, doesn't work at all. Can't make changes. Can't believe they're in business. No personality , no ability to talk to people unbelievably , poor serviceReviewed 21 Dec 2025
