4.0 Mediocre
I booked a ford transit when I got there I had a minivan so I had to double my charge to get a large enough van The passenger door did not open from the outside Radio had no Bluetooth
A
2.0 Poor
Hertz rep at the counter argued I booked the wrong category and proposed me a smaller compact car while my booking clearly mentioned suv compact. Finally managed to get it after arguing with him who «kindly » proposed me the proper car « for free ». The car park was full of suv compact cars so definitely not a shortage issue. Very unpleasant start of the week.

6.0 Okay
We were given a smaller car than we booked which made travelling as a party of 5 adults uncomfortable. Thenm once I arrived home I have received an additional charge to my credit card with no invoice or explanation

6.0 Okay
Huge line at pickup. We waited for 40 mins. Also the AC wasn't up to par so it was really hot. But the staff was great. Gave us bottles of water and a popcorn snack while we waited.
