Car battery died and it wasn’t resolved for 4 days. Switched to Alamo and it was night and day. I’ll never use Avis again.

Would have liked a little more clarity upfront on the total billing amount, otherwise it was a great experience

The car was great, clean and had a full tank. The efficiency of pickup and drop off is not very good. A lot of employees running around everywhere but only 1 at the counter.

They forced me to pay $250 for "mandatory insurance" on arrival without prior notification. They were extremely inefficient and it took 2 hours to pick up the car despite 3 desks being open and only 7 people ahead of me in line. I suffered a minor damage in the car in a parking lot which I promptly reported to Avis at the time, but the dealer was totally unaware of it and made me repeat the process which took 1.5 hours and nearly caused me to delay my flight. They then coerced me to sign a "legal document" in Spanish only (all other documents in English) which stated facts that I did not agree with and threatened to make me stay in Costa Rica for 6 months. Total scammers!

Bad customer service. Schedule for dropping the car was very inconvenient and caused me more dollar’s expenses. Very bad experience not recommend it.

The 35$/per day mandatory insurance and other fees should be included in the listed price. Extremely deceptive marketing tactics

They didn’t honor the rate and kept changing prices the insurance prices to make it seem that they couldn’t give me a better deal.

Hertz let us down terribly. Worst experience ever. We reserved a car two months prior to our trip to Costa Rica, re confirmed at least 3 times, and the day we came to pick it up they said they did not have any cars at all because it was the high season. So unprofessional company. We will never rent from Hertz again, people at the hotel told us Hertz did the same thing to them. It has been so inconvenient to say the least. DON’T RISK YOUR VACATION WITH HERTZ.

Despite having a reservation and reconfirming before leaving, when we arrived at the San Jose airport to pick up the car, the Hertz agent said there were no cars available. He checked on the computer for about a minute and asked us to ask other car rental companies. He was not interested in helping us out. After a day we went to another Hertz location in downtown San José, again, we were given a cold shoulder. The fact that we had a reservation meant nothing to them. They left us stranded without a car, which completely ruined our vacation. We will never rent from Hertz again and we will make sure that our families and friends never rent from Hertz either. If Hertz wants to improve service I recommend they fire their entire staff in San Jose and hire people with customer service experience.

When we arrived to the car rental at the airport in San Jose, Costa Rica, we were told that the car is not available, because we didn't come on time. I showed the reservation and it did show that we came on time. However, the representative insisted that they still don't have any cars. He told us that we ca get a more expensive car from another rental company and he would process that rental for us. we refused to get a significantly more expensive car , because that is not what we were looking for to rent in the first place. The representative was not helpful at all and he moved to the people who were in line behind us. Then, he told us that the rental was overbooked by the company. After calling the Hertz 1 800 number in US, I was told that they can't help us at all and that we should get the more expensive car. This was the most discussing rental experience I have ever had. We were lied straight into our face. I am never going to book a car rental with Hertz again and will spread the word as much as possible about this negative experience.

We couldn’t rent the car because Hertz rent the car to another person without informing us. Poor service, horrible guess service.

On arrival at San Jose, the representative told me that I was 2 hours late and they had rented my car to someone else. When I asked for my deposit back they refused. They were rude and threatening. I spoke to their manager by phone and he was dismissive. I have not yet received my deposit.

There was no shuttle from the airport. They didn’t answer our phone calls or emails and when we finally got to the rental car place they did not have a car for us. I will never use this company again. They also stop charged us the full amount. What a scam!

Although it was relatively inexpensive they did not disclose the mandatory 3rd party insurance requirement you had to pay - I even had the letter from my credit card company saying they covered the collision insurance ( I had that after reading the fine print that letter was needed- full price of the rental should be disclosed at the time of reservation

Have travelled often but never experienced such a scam. We were told they had no cars when we arrived and there were none available anywhere. After an hour of pleading they somehow got us a car as it was a huge favor and it ended up being the same Toyota Landcruiser Prado which I had reserved 2 months earlier but at twice the cost. Have never been taken advantage of like this.

We had requested a 4x4 because we were going to drive through the mountains and in dirt roads in Costa Rica. They gave us a car that needed the wheels to be balanced, and when it rained the car would slide through the mud. It was unsafe, and we couldn’t return the car sooner because we were far away. When we went to return the car the staff explained to us that because it was high season that was the only car they had left. Instead of renting us the car, they should’ve been honest so we could find a car to rent elsewhere.
