Pros:
I didn't like anything about renting from Hertz. They didn't have a car when they said they would. Their local agents did what they could, however their reservation service is a joke. I wasted an entire day of my vacation trying to get the car I had ordered and then had to take a smaller vehicle or not have a car. Hertz gave no compensation. What an absolute joke.Cons:
Hertz should change their name to Hurts! What a joke of a company to rent from! I have no idea how they have the reputation they have as a quality rental company!Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Jan 2017
Pros:
The counter service was great. The car itself was great.Cons:
I booked this rental at <$100 total estimated and it was close to $400. I was put in a larger vehicle not because I requested it, but I was led to believe they were doing me a favor. I was issued an external GPS but the care was also equipped with GPS. I was told the drop-off fee to another location would be waived. I'm not sure it was. I really feel like I got upcharged under high pressure situations (raining coming into LAX) and tight time leaving SNA. If someone could review this rental, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks, Neil.8.4 Very Good
Dec 2016
Pros:
The service was superb. Even though we were a couple minutes late, they were very accommodating. They even upgraded the car.Cons:
The car, a Jeep Compass, we rented wasn't very comfortable, lacked power and wasn't very ergonomic. It did get us to where we wanted to go.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
Unexpected costs from insurance. They told me I didn’t have insurance for the trip right before I was leaving while I was standing in the parking lot. I unded up spending way more than planned and I’m really miffed about it. They didn’t explain how much more it was going to cost before I left. It felt a little bit like they tricked me.4.8 Mediocre
Jan 2018
Pros:
The vehicle was ok, not the cleanest but, the drop off and complimentary shuttle at LAX was excellent.Cons:
Make sure you have a paper copy of your insurance or you will get a very hard time. We had no issues when we rented at the LAX location and no issues dropping off there but, the very rude man the Anaheim Avis/Budget rental office almost didn’t let us rent as he was angry we went through kayak and had no wifi for me to show him my insurance document. He was argumentative and down right rude. I will let people know not to rent from this location again. He racked the bill up as high as he could to make a buck!9.6 Wonderful

Jun 2017
Pros:
The agent was able to fix my billing issue with some creative computer work.Cons:
Agent had to fix the automatic addition of a fuel charge as I had driven very few miles; however, after I showed my receipt for gas that was purchased down the street, he fixed it. This charge is something that needs to not happen automatically, as other people may be more distracted and end up paying a lot more than they were expecting.Rent-4-Less

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Orange car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Orange.
