Hertz attendants were very unprofessional. They blamed us for car damage that was there when we picked it up. Would not recommend using themReviewed 6 May 2025

After waiting several hours, it seemed like the people ahead of me weren't getting cars. I was still in line with at least another hour to go. Eventually I decided to rent a car from another company.Reviewed 16 Aug 2024
