Quick and easy pick up at Houston hobby airport. Quick services at the desk in Houston. Always hate getting pressured to buy the insurance though. Check in in San Antonio at north park Lincoln was a mess because the dealership is under construction. But the staff was still helpful.

We had an amazing trip to Texas and the minivan we rented was comfortable, spacious and held all our things, surprisingly. All the staff at Hertz Rent a Car were helpful and the drop off was quick and right across the street from the Terminal. We loved it!

When I booked on Kayak, it was one rate. But when I got the counter the Hertz rep insisted it was a much higher rate and forced me to take a $25 a day upcharge for a different vehicle. Very disappointing.

I liked thay I was able to use my own car insurance when picking up the car and not bring forced to take Dollar's insurance. The lady at the counter tried to force me to purchase Dollar's insurance and was mad when I didn't. In addition, the vehicle was not cleaned good. There were ants coming out of the vents when the AC was turned on and we found a bug that looked like a tick in the vehicle. It was AWEFUL! What could be done better? A positive customer service attitude even if the customer doesn't purchase the company insurance offered, and better vehicle cleaning.

It ended up being Dominique at National car rentals that saved the day. Our plane was late, and it was impossible to reach the Enterprise desk by phone to find out what to do before they closed once the plane was on the ground but we were still sitting in it waiting for a gate. We spoke to an off-site person via the given phone number who did not know the situation at this particular airport and did not have access to a phone number for us to find out. As it turned out, Enterprise hands over to National at closing time, but nowhere was this explained--we were worried about getting stuck at the airport with a person in a wheelchair and the rest of our group. Only a dire warning to be there 15 minutes before closing time, which we could not do. We got the car easily, once we knew it was all fine. Unnecessary stress before that. Thank you Team National.

Only car company that never has anything ready to go for reservations. I had to wait two hours and then instead of a full size SUV take a horrible old minivan with no features that was scary to drive then they wouldn't even give a discount. They are weird A F and wanted to take selfies on pickup too. Would have had to wait what looked like another two hours at least if I wanted to hold for what I actually reserved two months ahead of time.

I was arriving to the Houston Hobby airport in a car with a friend. I could not determine how to get into the lot to get my rental car. The interior of the car was clean except for the piece of bacon on the emergency brake. The exterior not so clean. The interaction with the person at the counter was great. The drop off at Charlotte airport efficient.

The car was a beater. Dents and scrapes all over and the “see maintenance” light kept coming on. Upon return our location didn’t exist, along with several others. Nobody at these “drop off locations” knew anything about Avis returns. The customer service line wasn’t much help either. Made for a very stressful evening.
