1. Lots of upselling on car features. 2. Be aware of all dents and damages before the car is released to you. Take a lot of your own pictures with a date stamp 3. Ask for all receipts related to the gas filling or parking. I will NOT be renting from Hertz ever again. A lot of dishonesty in car rental practices.

Nice, clean comfortable car. For some reason the pick up office in terminal 2 was closed for ten minutes as we arrived, but eventually the person working there arrived and we got our car.

Everything was great with the rental until we dropped the car off in Madrid after 10 days and discovered we didn't have a spare tire for the whole trip. We were lucky that we never needed the spare. Not great attention to detail by Hertz in Barcelona. Lesson learned I will always check the spare tire from now on.

I got the gas tank full with the care was told to return it filled, we did that and we were still charged over €90 for not filling the gas tank. I have both the receipt and video evidence of the tank being full, yet Hertz has not refunded the charge… still waiting (be very careful with them).

pick up ok, drop off ok

Spent two days trying to process a simple reservation extension and change of drop off location. Got shuffled from US Headquarters to Spanish reservation desk to local offices. Many calls, many attempts, and they could not figure it out. Promised to call back, nothing. At the end we did not manage.

Once inside everything went well

Whoever put up the sign for return should be given a reality check. there was a sign but it was on a one way street and was facing the wrong direction. It could only been seen by driving by the entrance and then looking backwards to see it, not something that many people would do. We drove around the block (not easy to do) three times and until my wife got out and circled the block did she see the sign and direct me in. Place the sign so that you can see it while driving by.

The car was actually ok.

I had to wait more than 60 min- to get the car and consequently missed my golf appointment. They did not tell me where to drop the car off. I went to the office but they directed me to the garage where i picked ud the car. They could have told that in advance. Then i HATE, HATE, HATE renting cars online and purchasing some assurance at the same time, but then at the counter I am being told that I have zero insurance and do I want to take that risk? I could potentially go banckrupt if anything happens with the car. Do you know how the locals drive.?? That is the biggest problem when one company is responsible for the sale and another for delivering the car. It is not servie it is pestering the customer. Stop doing it. Try to be rental companies and not insurance companies and change the f.... busines model. It is sick. !!!

A reservation means nothing to Enterprise. After booking a rental car reservation, making weekend travel plans, and paying for a taxi to/from the rental facility, the service desk says it has no cars and cannot honor my reservation. It ruined my plans to explore outside of Barcelona and cost me money just to show up to the service desk to have them say "sorry no cars, goodbye". What could be better? 1) Don't show inventory if you don't have it (several car options were available) 2) Text/email your reservations if there is a failure like this so customers have the heads up and don't make unnecessary plans and expenses just to show up to be disappointed at the service desk. 3) Offer some sort of reimbursement when money/effort are expended and the company fails with their end of the deal. What did I like? Nothing with this reservation

This was simply the best car rental experience we’ve ever had! The staff at this location (Carrer Badajoz in Barcelona) were incredibly helpful. We arrived late and the office was supposed to be closed for “siesta”. But they were there and gave us our car anyway! They were cheerful and efficient - something car rental personnel usually are not - especially in Spain where they are usually rigid and inefficient. We rented a car from Avis in Plaza Catayluna a few weeks ago - it was three times as much and a nightmare. We will be renting from this Enterprise location from now on!
