The service was quite good. The only downside was that the safety seat was a bit small and not suitable for children over 5 years old.

When I arrived, they glanced at my order and immediately said there were no cars available due to overbooking. After a lengthy discussion, I insisted they input my order number into the system so I could confirm it on the computer and keep evidence for canceling the order. My original intent wasn't to cancel—I wanted compensation because a confirmed order with no car is unacceptable. After placing this demand, they suddenly offered me a car!

Very smooth and easy experience. Good rate. Staff at Hertz counter at Santa Barbara Airport were very friendly and helpful.

Hertz staff was really unprofessional, didn’t apologize and tried putting the blame on us for ordering on such short notice

I rented a two-door sports car, but they said there were none available and gave me a four-door sedan instead, trying to fool me.

Satisfied with the attitude, but the long waiting time caused us issues

The pickup location is at a small airport, so there's virtually no waiting time. The staff is friendly and provides detailed explanations.

When I arrived at the store, the staff was on the phone. After waiting for five minutes, the staff hung up and processed my rental. They asked me to wait for 5-10 minutes to get the car. However, I waited for 15 minutes and still didn't get the car.

The representative followed the rules strictly and did not try to upsell anything. I had prepaid for a full tank of gas through QEEQ (so I didn't need to return the car with a full tank). The agent was unaware of this and insisted on a full tank return, and seemed annoyed when I asked further questions. After confirming with QEEQ that everything was fine, the representative went to the back office and made me wait for a while. Eventually, another person came out to handle the transaction.

It seemed to take a long time to move people through the short line, each transaction taking a while. The agent was able to resolve a discrepancy between my reservation/confirmation and what was reflected in the Budget system (full sized vs standard sized vehicle) but it caused a delay.

Initial car rented wasn't available so I was provided with a vehicle with much less luggage capacity. Amenities would of outweighed the luggage issue if they worked properly. Monitor for movies on the passenger side rear seat was broken.

Extremely convenient, the car was brand new and very comfortable.
