The car was quite clean, but the fragrances of the cleansers they used were headache-inducing. I drove with the windows cracked and circulated fresh air for the first day. By Day 2 it was fine. Surely they could leave windows open after cleaning to let those odors air out?

At check in , the rep quoted me the price significantly higher than what my reservation was booked at. He claimed there were taxes that were causing the difference but when I showed him the quotes reservation price, it miraculously was adjusted to the quote. The car was stinky and windshield was filthy but it got me from point A to point B. I then had an early am return before staff had arrived and used the key drop box. When I received the receipt for checkout via email, they assessed an additional $300 for supposed additional damages Upon spending another 15 minutes of hold time to get with a rep, it turned ou that they smelled the same smell and were charging a smoking damage Assessment along with taxes. We most definitely did not smoke in the car and will be disputing the charges with he credit card company. This wa the worst experience and only gave them one star because there were no negative options available in the survey.

I left a pair of sunglasses in the rental and after realizing it 15 minutes after drop off and returning to the Hertz drop off to retrieve my sunglasses, customer service was extremely terrible and that I had to wait 30 minutes only to be told that they could not retrieve my sunglasses as they were unable to locate them. Knowing with 100% certainty that they were in fact in the vehicle and given how the events unfolded after the fact, I will never book with hertz or dollar again. I am a frequent traveler, and I will not support these companies. I feel so bothered by this incident that I actually took the time to fill this out when generally, I never write anything as I’ve always had pleasant experiences with other rental agencies. This speaks volumes to me.

The check in line for dollar was much shorter and moved quicker than the budget line so that was nice. But then we were sent to a spot with no car, then directed to a car with no keys, third car had a dead battery. Fourth car brought up for us by a very friendly hertz employee. Checkout was easy. I left the car. No one was around. I assume I left it in the right spot.

The gate staff at check-out were good. On a critical note, I was cheated two different ways. First, they gave me the car at 7/8 tank of gas, I returned it with the same, and they charged me $9.99/gal. to top off the tank. Second, they charged me $4.00 for an upgrade I didn't request. It has been beyond difficult trying to resolve these overcharges, they basically are happy to overcharge me but unwilling to make up for it in an honest manner. Very frustrating, and I don't like being robbed.

There are not enough words in this space to explain my horrible and beyond frustrating experience renting a car in Cleveland (airport area) through Hertz. The rental process via Kayak was fine. However, if you ever have a problem with a service booked through Kayak, there is no help from Kayak. Period. This will also be the last time I use Kayak due to their lack of customer service. From the Hertz standpoint, I was told three times by the phone rep that I had to pick up my car at the airport location, which was not near where I thought I had to pick it up (downtown). He insisted. So I went to the airport location to get the car only to be told I had to go downtown. I told them the phone rep insisted I come to the airport even though I was willing, and thought I would go to the downtown location. They said they can't rent a car to me unless I paid a nearly $700 additional fee because I had prepaid for my rental. What does that have to do with anything? Then I was told that I couldn't pick up downtown because their office is in fact closed. I asked why Hertz allowed me to book from an office that wouldn't be open the day I needed to get the car, and confirmed to me it would be available. I was told "It happens all the time and we don't know why." A very long, frustrating time later, and after speaking with two local counter reps and two phone reps, I was able to rent the car from the airport location but told I had to return it to the downtown location and not at the airport. When I returned it to the downtown location as instructed, the first thing out of the counter rep's mouth was "why didn't you just return it at the airport, it would be easier, you can do that you know." He did accept the return at his office and was pleasant. The biggest problem I had was at pick up and return with the phone reps, both who did not have very good English and didn't listen to me, or understand me, and were not willing to assist. No one ever answered a local office number. When I asked to speak to a manager on the national customer service line I was told there is no manager on duty because it was a Saturday. Really? Doubtful. Counter reps push the problem to the national call center, and vice versa. There is also a very big difference in how they treat pre-paid clients with on the spot bookings. Anyway, it was a really horrible experience and never again will I rent from Hertz. They don't know their head from their tail, and have no desire to rectify the problem THEY created, not me.

I thought I was picking up at the airport location but it turns out it was about 30 mins away. Seems like it would be a simple fix but I was told that because I booked through a third-party that Hertz couldn't do anything. Also, the vehicle had a strong smoke odor on the interior...not cool when you're traveling with family and small children.

Picked car up in Cleveland and dropped it in Toronto, Canada. I understand cross border drop offs may be a challenge but they had no idea what to do when we got to the drop off location so it took some extra time. That said, the Canadian agent was very nice and did his best to be quick and helpful.

plane encountered a delay, so I ended up landing after the enterprise location had closed. I made my way to the location the very next day, It had not even been 24 hours since my scheduled pickup and when I arrived the Manager of that location told me he just rented my rental to some one else just 20 minutes to me arriving. They had no other cars that fit my needs. this was a work trip and I needed a pickup. I ended up with budget after spending 3 hours of company time calling around to all the rental company locations in Cleveland untill I found one 30 minutes outside of the city and I had to Uber their. Not impressed with the service I received and my company will avoid them in the future

It took forever to rent the car. They needed more staff or just a faster process. Also, the car I was initially given wasn't in the space I was told so I needed to walk back in and have them find me another car. Also, I got a $465 bill when I was only expect $24 charge. I literally used the car for less than 6 hours!!! It was ridiculous and I'm still waiting for my credit card to be refunded. Great value but not work the stress and time I've spend getting my money back. Last rental with Thrifty

I pulled into the return area, and was completely checked out in about a minute. The rental agent briefly walked around the car, checked the gas guage, and I was done. FAST!!

The car rental return is difficult to find at the airport. It's off-site, and I didn't see any signs for it as I approached the airport. You have to go through the "Departures" area, and then follow signs to an off-site lot that's about another 5-10 minute drive. Be sure you consider this extra time before your departure!

I was told drop off was late, but still during business hours. The lights were on at the CLE airport drop off area, and the inside desk was staffed, but no one came out to close out my rental. There was no sign posted advising that this was after hours. After waiting around I finally just dropped the keys in the nightbox. Intuitive, but some posted guidance would have been appreciated.
