Cons:
The rental car was terrible. Could have done without a Chevy Malibu. Other than that everything went well5.2 Fair
Aug 2019
Pros:
Friendly, but absolutely ridiculous that one person is supposed to run the entire branch office, up to and including cleaning the cars. Worst - THERE WERE NO CARS AVAILABLE, even though at 10:30 a.m. there were three people sitting there with 9am reservations.Cons:
Hertz could have had CARS AVAILABLE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO RESERVED THEM and prepaid, instead of making us wait for 1 1/2 to 2 hours for a car. I'm never using Hertz again.7.2 Good

Jan 2016
Pros:
I was impressed with the personnel and the promptness in getting my car. I took the precaution of taking out insurance, and needed a push out of a snowbank, which resulted in some damage. Hertz personnel were utterly cool about it.Cons:
The only thing wrong with the car was the lighted plug. I was unable to charge my phone as I drove.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The customer survive was amazing. Very friendly staff with great professional engagement. The only area of improvement was in car presentation. The vehicle was not externally cleaned well. The detail staff left the entice bottom half of the vehicle dirty. You could actually see where they stopped cleaning. Looked very bad.2 locations in Johnston

Sep 2019
Cons:
I went to pick up the car and was told that I needed a major credit card. I didn’t have one and they said I would need to leave a deposit (which was fine) and they would run my credit. My credit score wasn’t good enough apparently and that was basically the end of the transaction. Stranded.2.0 Poor
May 2019
Pros:
Staff was slightly apologetic about not having my requested vehicle.Cons:
I showed up on the day of pickup, and they didn't have my car?! All they had was mini-vans, when I had reserved a compact/mid-size. I ended up having to get a last minute rental from another company.2.0 Poor
Sep 2018
Cons:
I returned the car one full day earlier than expected and I was still charged for the full three days (even though I had only had the car rented for two). I was told I'd get a call about my refund and, to date, haven't heard from Avis -- despite calling them countless times. Never again.8.0 Very good
Aug 2017
Pros:
Honored rental price/cost from Kayak.....got me in Auto that was satisfactory.Cons:
Reservation was cancelled without my notification......Avis couldn't honor Kayak price for SUV/large rental. I was quite upset!4.0 Mediocre
Aug 2017
Pros:
The car itself was fine, although the back seat needed cleaning. And it was ready at the arranged time.Cons:
The agency did not provide any kind of map, and this was the first time I've experienced that in many years with many car rentals from other companies. The local person was not familiar with local roads to help me get started on the trip. He was not as helpful or polite as I'd expect. Another issue is that I was headed to Massachusetts and planned to take the toll road, and the agent in Rhode Island did not know - or at least did not tell me - of the major change in toll collection there. Since it is not possible to pay cash on I 90, I will be receiving a bill for those tolls, plus additions from Avis and possibly fines. When I dropped the car off in Chicago, the office desk had handouts explaining their e-toll fees. But nothing of the sort was offered in RI where it would have actually helped. I will not rent from Avis again, or Budget, which seems to have merged with it.Most popular agency | Enterprise Rent-A-Car |
