Hertz employee at checkout counter in PHL was difficult to work with. He also lied and said that he could not change the time on the reservation due to the drop off location opening at 9 AM. The drop off location opened at 7:30 am and he did this in an attempt to get an extra $20 added on to my rental.

Booked a rental car for Sunday at Philly airport a week in advance because they were the only agents open. Took a bus to the airport and was told if I didn't have a plane ticket for that day. I couldn't rent. Long story short I was left stranded at the Philly airport. F you hertz. You will never get my business again. I'm also going to let everyone I know about you ridiculously poor service

Please let people know about after-hours drop-off location. I didn't know I would be dropping off after hours and didn't realize that it was at a different location. Then the email they said to use to tell them I dropped off the car didn't work. I called to let them know. The rep said she would confirm but never did.

Booked a 6pm pick up at PHL. Arrived on time to no shuttle service. Called the counter and it turns out they close at 6pm on a weekday(!!!!). Was told after a 45 minute hold with customer service that Avis would have my reservation. Got to Avis and was told by the agent and the supervisor that I was the 7th person this week with this issue and that they don’t have access to Payless’ systems and can’t look up my reservation. Wound up paying for another rental with Avis just to get out of there. Won’t be using them ever again

Our check-in process at the facility was very smooth. The car was perfect for our needs and a very good price. The only problem was the shuttle from the airport to the rental car facility took a long time. We watched the shuttles for the other rental car places pass several times before ours arrived.

When I arrived to pick up the car, they informed me that I owed $10 even though I prepayed for the car. The explanation was that the calculated amount for the prepay was incorrect... so basically, they falsely advertised the price of the car.

The actual car facility is much farther from the airport than the other car rental places, and the shuttle to get there is frankly embarrassing. If you have to drop the car off later than 4p on a weekend then you need to go to a completely different location. Not well organized at all. They don't take care of the vehicles. Worst car rental experience yet.

The pick up location (PHL) was struggling to keep up with the demand of reservations. Cars were not available as reserved. The vehicle I got was visibly damaged and dirty and no one was available to assist or document it. I actually dropped the vehicle off early rather than continuing to drive it and pay anymore to rent it. The drop off location (EWR) was also overwhelmed and had no one available to discuss the situation with me. It was an expensive and very disappointing 8 hour car rental experience!

Pick up was a nightmare. We walked in and we were the only customers. Got our contract signed pretty quickly and just had to wait for the car which would be brought to the front of the building. It took about an hour+ to get the car. We then wait in line to leave with the car because they are so slow at letting people out of the gate with the cars. We are finally at the front of the line of cars and drive up to the gate to leave, and the lady says someone on their end goofed up because it says we are returning the car on the same day in the computer. We have to back up and park, go in, and wait another 30+ minutes to get the mistake fixed. Then we had to wait in the line of cars again to leave. I’m not sure if they were having an off day or what, but there were many upset customers in the building that day. The car was fine and the return process was a breeze. I just don’t think we will try them again because we had such a bad experience at pick up which delayed our travel by at least 2 hours.

PHL Airport location has no phone number and didn’t have a vehicle ready for me. The one I got was overdue for an oil change and had tread separation on a recently replaced tire. The vehicle wobbled & shook terribly during the 90 minute drive in the middle if the night to our residence. The roadside assistance rep gave 2 options; 1) pay to have the spare put on and drive back to the PHL location to swap vehicles but since they don’t have a phone there is no guarantee a vehicle is available. 2) pay for a new tire and bring the receipt to PHL for a refund. They wouldn’t email a confirmation on this though so I was suspicious. Sure enough, the manager acted like it was an unheard of solution and said the tire was my responsibility. Never again will I rent from Dollar.

They were out of cars when I arrived. Only one staff member, David, was helpful. The rest didn’t seem to care and told me to come back in the morning. They couldn’t get a car for me from Hertz because the gate closed right after we arrived in the shuttle.

There was about 15 people in line to pick up and it took an hour and 20 minutes to get through the line with four people working. Also there was a guy working in the Members Only area that never bothered to take a single person to help. Then they try to put me in a Toyota and Call it a luxury car off. But I paid another upgrade to get an Infiniti with almost 50,000 miles. Finally I asked for a Toyota tundra truck that looked slightly newer and that was fine. The guy told me when I ask by the way it was so long in the cars were so rough, that’s what you get when you go to dollar or thrifty. By the way it wasn’t cheaper it just “looked”like they had the car I wanted Totally disappointed PS it takes approx 20 min for the van to arrive and pick you up. Saw the hertz and others 3 times in the same wait time

The staff was very good- they were well organized and working hard. There were lots of customers for limited staff. They were efficient and did their jobs well - there was no time for niceties other than polite service. They were inconsistent in enforcing the rule about "only the renter may come in the building". As a result my wife stood in the cold and watched other couples inside who elected not to comply with the stated rules. The car I got was adequate and functioned fine but was quite expensive (modest car- pretty high rate 140/2 days- tiny Hyundai) so it was adequate but not outstanding value. Return process was highly effective with good speed and no glitches. Again-staff is excellent. Overall- competent but modest value and inconsistent adherence to rules.

Standardize adherence to rules. More staff on busy days. More product selection.

no, they were not helpful and they were misleading. Apparently they required an airline confirmation as we were paying with a debit card. 3 trips walking to the rental building in the rain the story changed slightly each time as far as what was need. never got the car and will certainly let all know that the Enterprise holding rental companies are incompetant.

FIre the entire staff at the Philadelphia airport and hire a staff of concerned workers who work hard to keep their job and seek improvement, not the type that is hired and they feel entitled.

The initial phone reservation contact was confusing to me and that I felt kind of boxed in to renting a “luxury “card which I actually did not want because I was going to be down at the shore for two weeks out of that months rental and that did not feel appropriate for me. Apparently after another follow-up phone call to see if I could actually reserve a more practical car for me like Honda or Toyota, I was told basically that I had to wait until I arrived to change that which I found odd. However, I could not have asked for a better experience at the Philadelphia national car rental location. The on site manager who’s name unfortunately I have forgotten and the attendant were exemplary with me. They made me feel that they would accommodate my request without any hesitation. The staff there could not have been better !
