Tons of hidden fees and then they hide behind booking through a third party to avoid accountability. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had truly. Also I was straight up lied to by the agent and told I had paid in full only to find I out I owed another thousand dollars upon returning the vehicle. Truly devastating experienceReviewed 1 Oct 2026

Our car was ready as we had booked several weeks ahead of time. We did have to wait a long time as there were 2 employees working the front and checking cars in the lot. There was a wait list for same day pick up. And as they were backed up and it’s first come first service. We had to wait through 45 min of everyone who hadn’t booked ahead. Staff was patient and friendly. Drop off was super easy just drive up and left the keys inside. There was someone inspecting upon arrival. Thing else to do. Unlimited miles was a wonderful feature as we drove a lot. The car was perfect for what we needed good handling 4x4 for off road terrain food ac and spacious.Reviewed 26 Sept 2026

I arrived right before my 6pm pickup time and was told at the desk that they didn't have a vehicle for me. While setting up my pickup and drop off time, it kept changing my drop off date and time from the 19th to the 21st even though I put pickup 18th and drop off the 19th which I planned to get them to correct at Hertz desk. They also told me that all other rental companies were out of vehicles at GPT airport as well. I left and scheduled with National and they were able to accommodate me but I had to wait until 7 pm for pickup. It was not a good experience to drive all of the way there and not have the vehicle I reserved and then have to wait another hour.Reviewed 23 Sept 2026
