Silver Springs location is remote but the personnel couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Very pleasant. Of course, they didn’t have the car I wanted or reserved, but were accommodating and we worked out a deal. Enjoyed the car they rented me.

I made my reservation to pick up at PVD and when I arrived, it was changed to a downtown Providence location. Costed me an additional $100 in airport fees, taxes, tourism fees. I will NEVER rent from Hertz again

Car was smaller than what we reserved. It still suited our needs, so I didn’t object. I would have if I needed the extra space.

Cons:

The rental car was terrible. Could have done without a Chevy Malibu. Other than that everything went well

5.2 Fair

Aug 2019

KAYAK

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.

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.

Sept 2019

KAYAK

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.

KAYAK

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.

Sept 2018

KAYAK

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.

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

KAYAK

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.
