Did not get rental car because when I went to pick it up, I was told I would be charged double the price stated on Kayak because this location does not allow after hours drop off and would be required to keep it until Monday at my expense. The Hertz agent blamed Kayak.Reviewed 12 Nov 2023

The Tuscaloosa, AL location is based solely on customer returns, meaning if other people don’t return their vehicle on time there is not one available for you. This happened to me and multiple other customers before the holidays, and I ended up unable to go on my vacation because despite a reservation I was never given a car. I’m still in a financial battle with Hertz to get my money back. They only have an unhelpful website, and claim a 5% fee to talk to an actual human being on the phone. Utterly ridiculous.Reviewed 28 Dec 2021

Pros:had to cancel and get a refund. when called they did not have a car available. told me it would be 3 hours. I had a meeting to attend that I was unable to make. I rented the car for a specific time and paid for it a week ahead of time. Will never rent from there again. Inexcusable!Reviewed 30 Oct 2018

Pros:Car worked very well, efficient gas mileage, no mechanical problems, clean inside and out, satellite radio (compact car).Cons:Staff took quite some time to get people checked in, which may have been because of their personal discussions during their work (which seems endemic in the service industry in the U.S.) They were, however, polite. Engine light came on, on the day I returned the car. When I informed the desk they seemed non-plussed and rationalized it as a glitch, without even checking it. I hope they check it for the sake of the next renter. I had hoped to return the car at a different location but was informed the fee was 125$, about the same as the total rental cost! So I returned at the same location, despite the inconvenience.Reviewed 8 Oct 2017
