Very disappointed. They took the reservation but when I got to the rental counter after taking a $30 Uber ride from the airport. I was told that they had no cars and could not fullfil my reservation. The desk clerk also said that they had taken another 120 reservations overnight and they would be unable to fill those too. What is the point of taking a reservation knowing that you are not going to be able to honor the commitment? This was very poor service and I shall not be using Hertz anytime soon.

Can't say enough negative things. I called Hertz to move the reservation date, and they didn't properly enter the information. The location I went to for pickup didn't have my car, despite my reservation. I had to uber 30 miles in the opposite direction, I was going to get a vehicle that was of worse quality (no USB imput or AC) than what I had paid for. I understand everybody is struggling with inventory, but I wont' be using Hertz again if I can help it.

They didn’t actually have a car reserved for me. After making my reservation, I called the day of to confirm. They told me there were not any cars in the area. Their website allows people to overbook. They were not going to reach out and inform me of this either. Their plan was to have me show up and learn the hard way that they didn’t have any cars available for my reservation.
