The van that I had reserved and paid for 3 months in advance was "not available" when we arrived to pick it up. I specifically needed a large vehicle for college graduation and move out and this affected plans and I had to scramble to make new arrangements which cost twice as much. Will never trust Hertz again.

We had prepaid the Chevy Malibu and the agent said we had a 7 passenger reserved but if we downgraded to a Ford Edge we would save some money. No refund was issued. When returning the vehicle there was no agent to accent the vehicle and poor instructions on how to return it without an agent.

I do understand I booked thru Kayak, which promoted Priceline advance purchase. The desk agent was rude, I had to continually ask questions about gas location, my car, she didn’t offer an upgrade nor did she even thank me for using Hertz. My vehicle was all the way at the end, it appeared to be someone’s local vehicle, it was filthy inside: seats are all stained, there was no sticker on the vehicle for extra cleaning due to COVID and it was SMOKED in… it took two days for the smell to be air ped out. I worked for Hertz in Tampa for 3 years, I would have been embarrassed to rent this vehicle out to anyone. I also, work for AMEX Global Business Travel, she was not acceptable as a executive travel counselor or even just an AMEX employee. The vehicle had mechanical issues on top of the the other issues.
Loved the agent. The free upgrade made my trip even better. Thank Enterprise

Process was really quick and seamless. The staff were all personable & professional. HOWEVER, the inside DID smell VERY similar to where you would remove your ski boots at a lodge or middle school locker room.

The price they wanted was higher than what was quoted on kayak , but we had printed out our paper work and they honored the lower orice.
They didn’t have the car I paid for! Terrible that your company booked it with a credit card and there is no communication with the car company IF they have any cars.

Service was good. Car ran well. There was an awful smell in the car like someone had smoked weed in the car and tried to cover it up with some deodorant spray or something. It was pretty bad and did impact our enjoyment of the car for the week.

Mediocre|Jun 2022
Car was fine but finding Payless in TYS (Knoxville) airport was almost impossible. They was no desk in the rental car area, I had to go to the parking lot to find them and even then the only signage that said “Payless” was one small (8”X11”) piece of paper that said Avis, Budget, Payless.

Poor|Jun 2022
My reservation was for a last minute trip and the purpose for the trip was canceled the next day. When i called to cancel the reservation I was informed my fee was non refundable. It would be good customer service to have a pop up message to the non refundable matter before I submit my final reservation.

Knowing ahead of time that Payless was handled by Avis would have been helpful. Also having to drive a pickup truck or upgrade and pay more was a surprise and something that they should have done without a charge. We did not want a pickup truck!
