Very convenient desk location at SLO Airport, right beside baggage claim. The staff member who helped us was friendly, efficient, and quick. It was no more than a 50 yard walk around the corner to our car. The parking lot was well lit. Our Kia Forte was clean, comfortable, had plenty of trunk space, and got fantastic gas mileage.

When we went to pick up the car, the office was closed and no one responded. When I called the Budget national office, they said the office should have been open and apologized but offered no solutions. Don't book with Budget!!

I picked up a car at one location, SBP, to be dropped off at LAX. The customer service girl, Liz, was very accommodating and very helpful. As i was driving, the car i had started to flash strange warning lights while i was on the freeway. I ended up switching out the car at another location along the way. They were very quick and helpful with the transition. Customer service at both places was great

United Dropped me in DC and I had to Rent a Car to Drive myself home to VA Beach. I requested a FULL SIZE Car and got a Little KIA. It didn't even have Electric Seats or a Rear Window Wiper. The Driver who took us from Airport to Avis was Very Rude and insisted on playing his Radio Loud even when I explained I needed to Make an Important Phone Call.

Please note there are two Hertz locations - one at the airport and one down the road. There was a lack of communication between them both and they each seem to be staffed by just one person.

Upon the recommendation of my significant other, we called Hertz to verify our reservation for a car with pickup set for July 9, the original reservation was made in January 2021. We called the Hertz location we were picking up from directly. The representative we spoke with told us someone had called and cancelled the reservation on July 5. When we questioned the person who had cancelled the car as neither of us had called Hertz to cancel she responded "the cancellation came from central reservation." She then told us they did not have the car we reserved and would not provide any alternatives other than giving us the number for Avis. I continued to ask who cancelled the reservation and she kept attempting to gaslight us and explain to us how we had cancelled the reservation. Rather than find a solution she then hung up on us. The fact we reserved the convertible for an affordable price months in advance, coupled with the fact Hertz had no convertible leads me to believe Hertz merely cancelled our reservation without any notice and rented the convertible for a higher price. This caused us to rent the car for a higher price since it was last notice. I will never rent from Hertz again.

Nothing. It was my first time renting a car and they made it so easy. You will remain my first choice should I need another rental car.

The car was not available at the pickup time. I spent the money in the Uber in vain and even the rest of the day no rental car to pick up was guaranteed. And that after having gotten a confirmation and emails from you. What an unreliable service !!! I will not book cars via you and priceline anymore. At least the guy in the rental car office was honest, but that didn't give me my agreed to car. Highly disappointing!
