The car I reserved had flat tires - they up charged me for the next available vehicle. That vehicle smelled like smoke inside as if someone had been smoking heavily in it and it wasn’t cleaned. That vehicle also had problems with the air pressure in the tires as well as the key being alerted with a low battery. It felt like all the vehicles there had some problem. They also charged me for fuel reserve when I didn’t ask for that, and I had to call Hertz corporate to have them remove it after I saw my bill. I felt like they tried to slip that in without me noticing. Definitely one of my worst experience is renting cars, and I’ve rented a lot of cars.Reviewed 29 Jun 2026
