The vehicle had a lot of ware for being lower on mileage. It was unfortunate that us was previously not taken care of. It needed wiper blades because they were ripped. The seal for the door was broken so it was a loud ride. Some of the seams were duct taped. It served its purpose but wasn’t in good shape. The staff were very kind upon returning the van

Everything was great until checkout and even this is a small item overall but..... Checkout tried charging me more than stipulated. The lady behind the counter said the truck has a "smart meter" on the gas tank and that I was a gallon low even though the overcharge did not match their cost for gas, nor did the original receipt showing the overcharge list that as a reason. And I filled it up 10 min before dropping it off. The clerk was happy to amend the final charge but it should not have been on there in the first place. Be sure to double check the receipt when checking out.

Absolutely no one to receive the cars upon return. You have to cut into the line of new rentals and just throw your keys at the person in the process of renting new cars. If there were a problem with the car (we didn't have any), there would be no one to tell.
Pick up at TVC was easy and efficient. Car was very dirty at pick up, not washed and interior dirty. Great car. Drop off was very easy and quick.

The old dude at Hertz customer service desk at Cherry Capital airport was rude, arrogant and a A*%# hole. Was a poor excuse for a human being. Should be removed from industry and put in aged care facility

When I picked up my car on August 7, 2022, the person at the desk went out of his way to be helpful.
I did not experienced a helpful service. There was no compromise with credit cards. No possibility to use debit option either. Staff wasn’t helpful at all. More about getting customers out of the way instead of helping find a solution. Ended stuck at the airport for hours.

The price could've been lowered by a few dollars definitely, especially just for the short amount of time that I had my rental. But the reservation process was relatively easy, the vehicle itself was super clean and really nice. May now be tempted to buy one myself.

Perhaps it didn’t have a radio? At least I never found how to get one on😬
It couldn't be easier to rent from National or any other rental car at Traverse City airport. Friendly staff, they provided the exact car I reserved on Kayak. Much cheaper than renting directly from the rental car website!
