Poor|Sep 2023

After making the reservation on line, I went in person to the office to add an additional day to the rental. After waiting in line for 30 minutes at an office in downtown Boston staffed by a single person (the rare office not out at the airport), the person in the office did this and quoted me a price which was essentially the same as the initial quote with one more day at the same daily rate. When I went later to print the rental information which was emailed to me I discovered that the price had gone up by 35% (for taking a 9 day rental to a 10 day rental) with an increase in both the base rate and the daily rate. After close to an hour on the phone with unhelpful customer service, I cancelled the rental and went to Enterprise instead — a price comparable the original quote from Hertz, with an office staffed by multiple people eager to be helpful. An experience which will shift my loyalty in the future.

I booked a reservation and was not told that the location CLOSED at 4:00 on Saturday! My train didn’t get in until after 4:00. It cost me several HUNDRED DOLLARS to get a car at the airport.

Tried to rent me a Tesla, but where we were going did not have easy access to charging stations, then had to pay to “upgrade” to a lower class gasoline car. This was not requested or mentioned in reservation, but what can you do. I tried calling to change my vehicle drop off location to another near by location and customer service was poor, lady barely spoke English and could not understand what I was asking. I basically gave up. The car was otherwise fine.

The location in downtown Boston instead of airport was the worst possible location. Traffic in Boston made it difficult to reach your office. Staff at office was good. Car was dirty when picked up.

Rental was for the wrong location. Called Hertz to get it fixed and they wanted to charge over $500 for a 1 day rental so I wasn’t even able to get a car from them.

This was a complete disaster. I did not end up renting the car, because the pickup location was not at the AIRPORT!! I was supposed to pick up the car at Boston Logan, but after standing in line for an hour, I get to the counter, and the agent informed me that the rental was booked for DOWNTOWN Boston.... why would that have been? Why would I go downtown Boston and not pick up straight from the airport? I asked the agent if they could transfer the reservation and he said he could not, there was nothing he could do and they didn't have any extra cars available. Then I called the downtown office, and they were CLOSED for the day! I had to scramble to find another rental car company that had available cars. I was out the entire cost of the rental since I prepaid, and there is no change or cancellation available. I'm sorry, but this was unforgivable and I will never do car rental business through this website again.

I turned the car in one day early and they refused to give me a credit because I prepaid. I will never prepay on a car rental again.

The car was great and process was very easy. The only thing people may want to consider is to pay for the gas option (bring it back empty) which I know is not typically the most economical. Let me explain. The office closes at 6pm sharp. If you miss that, you have the car another day. I came back on the day of a Red Sox game. The closest gas station was about a mile away. However, when I got there, they had stopped selling gas to park cars around their pumps. Then the second gas station I found did the same! I found one even further out that finally would sell me gas. With all the Fenway traffic and the hassle, I would have bit the bullet paid the “bring it back empty” option.

they tried to make me sign something that said there was nothing wrong with the car (upon pickup) before I saw the car. It was... sketchy. I was able to go look at the car, but it was weird that I had to ask to do that.

Car was great b/c luggage fit and it did fine in snow. Drop off was easy.

What I didn’t like. The vehicle was not clean and not completely full of fuel. There was either a transmission or engine misfire issue with this vehicle. The vehicle would bang and jump at low speed from still start. So this vehicle was not properly checked before re-renting.

Back Bay was convenient for pickup/drop off

First car was a new Kia Soul that overheated after 3 miles; had to return for new but smaller car. Barely made appointment. Office made no adjustments for inconveniences. Found out the Kia was later rented out and had additional breakdowns.
