|May 2023My reservation was at 6am- I didn’t walk out with a car until 7:55am. The staff lady was the rudest rep I’ve had in years. And I saw her be this way with multiple people. Was given electric car which I did not book. Then how am I supposed to find time to sit and charge it when I got it almost two hours late due to it needing to be charged. Worst rental experience

|Sep 2023Hertz had a very very old car. 64K miles on the car. Feels like I rented a someone else's old car that they borrowed me for a day. Not a good experience at all. Thumbs down

|Jul 2023No cars available at scheduled pick up time at Newark, NJ airport. Line of angry customers waiting angry because there was no communication from the agents when a car would be available, agent had no idea who had gotten there first or if there was even enough cars for everyone. Once I finally got my car the line to check out of the gate was 20 cars long and no attendant in sight. Waited 30 minutes to get out of the lot. When returning the car at BWI airport I requested a receipt from the agent and he refused, he said he would email the receipt but never did and I still have not received it.

|Apr 2023Be carful to accept upgrade, front desk will pass you with large amounts without clear knowledge of you. Then when you realised that you pay 3 times what you supposed to pay they will respond to you: you have Signed.. disappointed, but it is your faults not read before pick pen!

|Apr 2023Newark International Airport is no sparkling new facility. The rental car locations require using the airport train system, and signage to find it isn't all that visible. The Hertz location there pretty much matches the whole airport itself, but considering we booked last-minute, arrived late, and very late at night, the counter agent was pleasant and helpful, making our experience as good as it could be. 👍

|Sep 2026Very accommodating and friendly staff. The attendant in Newark explained everything very simple and easy. Only thing I’ll like to see is a price for unlimited tolls so you can pay ahead instead of being surprised by a bill afterward.

|Dec 2025After arriving at the airport there was no shuttle at the airport I waited for 50mins! And at the time of pickup even though I had a Amex card which covers the insurace, they denied to rent me car without paying insurance. I immediately cancelled the reservation and I went back to airport again and rented car from enterprise with the same Amex card and the process was very smooth with them.

|Jul 2024I returned the car and asked for a receipt and they said I couldn't get one. I told them I don't mind waiting, and they said I'd be emailed within 15mins. 3 hours later I get a call asking if I'm going to keep the car another day, and I let them know I returned it 3 hrs ago, and they told me I didn't. I described the two guys behind the counter, as well as the woman I was speaking with, and they had to double check and when they called me back said I was good. 4 days later I get an email telling me that I had damaged the vehicle, which I hadn't and which is why I wanted in invoice immediately. They had the car missing for 3 hrs+ and somehow didn't notice any damage for 4 days? Now, I have to deal with them. Horrible experience.
