Friendly attendant in NYC. Car had relatively low miles.Cons:
Forgot transponder (which I prepaid for) making tollgates a challenge. Car quality (Ford ESport) was small and less than expected for “mid-size SUV.” Car shocks were poor, but got us to Chicago without other technical issues.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

May 2019
Pros:
They were awful. They have different hours posted with a printed sheet on their window from the hours online and painted on the storefront. They couldn't have been ruder and less accommodating about the whole experience.2.4 Poor
Jul 2017
Pros:
Drop off worked fineCons:
Poor customer service. Aggressive attitude by staff including manager. Not having the car that was booked nor any attempt to find anything suitable. 30min wait because 1 person working on counter while 2 joked around in the office...6.4 Okay
Jul 2017
Pros:
Car make and model were good; drop off was fineCons:
Pick up took longer than I'd like. Only one Avis representative to handle the 6 people on line. $150 price per day is not value but market.6.4 Okay

Oct 2020
Pros:
Nothing. The staff was rude, unhelpful, terrible overall. I literally did not even get my car after waiting for four hours.Cons:
Every aspect could have been better. They made me wait for four hours after my scheduled pick up time, at that point I didn’t even need a car anymore. When I asked to cancel, the attendant rolled her eyes at me, looked at her coworker and mocked me, and then failed to promise I would get my money back. They wanted me to continue to wait “another hour and a half” but also didn’t promise I’d ever get the car. So I left, and had to wait on hold with the corporate office, explain, and ask for my money back. This office on 76th st in Manhattan should absolutely not be in business and is a total scam.4.4 Mediocre
Oct 2020
Cons:
Waiting for over 4 hours for my car. The rental location was a disaster. People were waiting there for hours and there were no cars. I am filing a formal complaint with Hertz. It was the worst rental experience of my life.Car hire locations in or near Upper East Side (New York)
