There was no car available. I went to two different branches after talking to customer service. Still nothing. I also paid $80 for insurance coverage that I never used.

Car was a little much for us. We didn’t want or need such a luxurious vehicle. We would have loved a family mini van and maybe not have to spend nearly 4 grand just so I can fit my whole family on wheels. Plus we were quoted in American Dollars so a lot of our spending money got depleted as soon as we picked up our rental. Which then affected our entire experience. This rental cost more than our flights and our accommodations. Yes it was a beautiful car, but it’s not at all what we wanted and it costed us far more than what I feel would be reasonable just so we could move around.

TERRIBLE SERVICE. I had an incredibly disappointing experience with you that has completely turned me off from ever using their services again. From the moment I arrived to pick up the car, the customer service was disorganized, unhelpful, and downright rude. I encountered long wait times despite having a reservation, and the staff showed no urgency or concern for the delays or my situation.

I liked the upgrade and the drop-off procedure, however two days after the drop-off I got a phone call inquiring about my return date since Hertz had no records about my vehicle being returned. The car was not properly cleaned, windshield smudgy, seats full of stains. Nobody on hand at pick-up to explain the car features, i.e., no spare tire, how to release the parking break, how to open the hood, etc. The paperwork did not show the unlimited mileage, personnel ignorant, no intention to provide service.

The care smelled like cigarettes and perfume. They had no other car forms to use so I had to take the stinky car. I returned the car on Thursday but didn’t get any recognition that it was returned early.

I booked the car and when I went to get it, it was not there. They did not have a vehicle for me at all. It’s now been three days and I STILL DO NOT HAVE A VEHICLE!!! I’ve had to pay out of pocket for hotels and all they can do is put stuff in their notes, put urgent on my file and tell me someone will call. No one ever calls. So I’m still stuck in this horrible city and want to go home. I had to sell my wedding ring and band just so I could get more hotels that’s I can’t afford. Someone please help me!!

I showed up at the counter and was denied the rental because my licence said GDL even though I am out of the program. I under stand that it’s not in the control of the counter Agent however a pop up or notice while renting the card would be extremely helpful especially hen you are being denied a rental when you are already on vacation and have no other arrangements. Absolutely terrible!

Great vehicle and condition. Issue arose when I advised, a week before the conclusion of the contract, that I would like to change the drop off point to a town further north. The person behind the desk indicated it would mean “changing the whole contract” and got the distinct impression he could not bothered so simply suggested I drop it off at the desired location and pay a penalty for unauthorised drop off… Seemed pretty inefficient and costly. People at the alternate centre were very good on receiving the vehicle but not the best experience overall.

The experience was excellent. The individual I interacted with upon my arrival and departure from Fredericton was knowledgeable, amiable, and provided comprehensive answers to my inquiries. The sole discrepancy was the unexpected charge of $350.00 exceeding the initial quote during the vehicle reservation. While I anticipate a refund, the unexpected adjustment was nonetheless a surprise.

But I was supprised when checking my credit card, you guys charged me $100/day in total. I have no receipt, no e receipt too. No explaination why the price is so high.

I was very disappointed with them. My credit card was canceled before my trip and they refused to accept alternative payments. The person was extremely unprofessional and didn't offer any assistance. I canceled my reservation and went over to the budget car rental who helped me without question and was super kind and helpful. I was very surprised as I have had good experiences at other locations but will never rent from this location again due to the unprofessional and rude representative.

The vehicle they gave me was filthy. The 2nd and 3rd row seats were down and when I lifted them there was something sticky all over the back seat. Car was definitely not cleaned inside or out. I complained and they gave me another car and although better in the inside, outside was filthy. First time I’ve had that experience.
