Cheap Car Rentals in Buckman, Portland

Hertz Pine Street location is in a very seedy area and I felt uncomfortable as a woman alone. Only 4 blocks walk to the metro train to the airport if you don't mind walking near homeless tent encampments on the sidewalks.

I requested car rental quotes for Portland PDX, KAYAK GAVE ME A QUOTE FROM THE DOWNTOWN HERTZ LOCATION. HAD TO CHANGE RENTAL COMPANIES AT THE AIRPORT AT CONSIDERABLE EXTRA COST.

No where near PDX airport. Had to retrieve own car from 7th floor/rooftop. Had to return own rental to 5th floor. Vehicle had maintenance message nearly whole trip. Then they charged an extra $97 for what? We refueled just before dropping off. I have surrendered Hertz Gold membership, never again! Kayak you should be ashamed for helping Hertz con customers. Possibly never use you again either.

This place was a nightmare. I rented a CX-5 or similar compact SUV. When I showed up to pick it up, i had to wait 15 min while the lady at the counter took a personal call. Then she told me all they had was a suburban for me but she couldn’t find the keys. The guy with the keys was Mia, and his walkie talkie and phone were apparently at the counter After waiting a very long time, the girl at the counter finally told me to walk to the parking garage to meet the guy with the keys. When I got to the car, he was still cleaning it. He stopped cleaning, handed me the keys, told me not to worry about the warning lights or the broken visor, and then disappeared before I could ask any questions. I got in the car and realized it only had half a tank- not a big deal but they just handed me a half-full gas guzzling machine for my 6 hr drive to the pre-identified drop off destination. I had to get gas twice which was not Part of the budget. I dropped the car off the next day, 2 hrs early, with more than half a tank of gas left, was ushered out quickly and told I was good to go. Now I see I’ve been charged more than 2.5x the amount I agreed to pay and I have NO idea why. I would absolutely not recommend this place.

I didn’t use budget. Please give me details on this I’m afraid there may be identity theft going on here. Thanks, May Leong Mleongde@hotmail.com

Was cheaper to rent directly here than to go from the airport - it was a really quick and efficient process and I'd definitely do it this way again.

The first rental car they gave me died in the middle of traffic. The experience of a tow truck arriving, driving an hour back to the rental location despite closer locations nearby, and getting a new rental car was horrible. The new rental car also had malfunctions. I am in the process of getting a refund. Their customer service needs much improvement, and they aren't returning my phone calls despite giving my name and number for a call back.

Location was good. Staff was friendly although a bit challenged. At pickup, no one was in the rental office until one and a half hours after supposed to open. We had to wait that whole time and then wait another half hour for the others who were waiting ahead of us for the office to open. Car was old and not very clean but ran fine and was moderately comfortable. Did not get a midsize car, as ordered and charged for. Only two of us and could barely fit our luggage. Would think twice before renting here again.

Somehow I was charged $650 dollars? No recent was sent to me? I was told the cost would be 250???????
