Staff were very friendly. Bus ride to the pickup location was quick and easy. Drop off location was a little difficult to find at first but once I found it, they made that easy too. The whole process was much quicker on both ends than I'd expected.

Quick and easy pick up at Houston hobby airport. Quick services at the desk in Houston. Always hate getting pressured to buy the insurance though. Check in in San Antonio at north park Lincoln was a mess because the dealership is under construction. But the staff was still helpful.

We had an amazing trip to Texas and the minivan we rented was comfortable, spacious and held all our things, surprisingly. All the staff at Hertz Rent a Car were helpful and the drop off was quick and right across the street from the Terminal. We loved it!

When I booked on Kayak, it was one rate. But when I got the counter the Hertz rep insisted it was a much higher rate and forced me to take a $25 a day upcharge for a different vehicle. Very disappointing.

Pickup took an hour waiting in line. Took 5 days from dropoff to get my receipt (needed for expense report). Dropped off a day early and they still charged me full price. Not a good rental experience, would recommend to rent from somewhere else.

Trying to find the pick up/drop off location was not easy....the hours on the web site are different than the actual hours... was stuck at the airport at 8:00 p.m with my 6yr old son with no ride to get a car because they were closed... but the web site said they were open to 1a.m..and when I called to change the hours I rented the car for nobody mentioned the change in hours!!!! I called two days before I was to pick it up!!

It ended up being Dominique at National car rentals that saved the day. Our plane was late, and it was impossible to reach the Enterprise desk by phone to find out what to do before they closed once the plane was on the ground but we were still sitting in it waiting for a gate. We spoke to an off-site person via the given phone number who did not know the situation at this particular airport and did not have access to a phone number for us to find out. As it turned out, Enterprise hands over to National at closing time, but nowhere was this explained--we were worried about getting stuck at the airport with a person in a wheelchair and the rest of our group. Only a dire warning to be there 15 minutes before closing time, which we could not do. We got the car easily, once we knew it was all fine. Unnecessary stress before that. Thank you Team National.

Only car company that never has anything ready to go for reservations. I had to wait two hours and then instead of a full size SUV take a horrible old minivan with no features that was scary to drive then they wouldn't even give a discount. They are weird A F and wanted to take selfies on pickup too. Would have had to wait what looked like another two hours at least if I wanted to hold for what I actually reserved two months ahead of time.

I could not get the car because I didn't have a physical credit card. My replacement card is in the mail but apparently they have to have the card to swipe. My virtual card was not acceptable.

I was arriving to the Houston Hobby airport in a car with a friend. I could not determine how to get into the lot to get my rental car. The interior of the car was clean except for the piece of bacon on the emergency brake. The exterior not so clean. The interaction with the person at the counter was great. The drop off at Charlotte airport efficient.

The car was a beater. Dents and scrapes all over and the “see maintenance” light kept coming on. Upon return our location didn’t exist, along with several others. Nobody at these “drop off locations” knew anything about Avis returns. The customer service line wasn’t much help either. Made for a very stressful evening.

When I arrived in Houston, myself and a group of other people were told that there were absolutely no cars available. This information not only ruined my trip but I felt it was very unprofessional for National to relay this information through the shuttle bus driver rather than a manager. The next day when I called to see if a car was available, I was told that if there was one, my total was be 159. That was DOUBLE my original rental price for half the day. I am extremely dissatisfied with National and will NEVER book with them again.

If I had gotten my damn car!

The staff/ Manager was absolutely rude and not helpful. She claimed the vehicle I reserved (full size SUV was not available upon my arrival at my reservation time. Asked if I wanted to wait or downsize my vehicle for what’s available. No wait time provided. Said it can be 5 min. It can be 45 min. Worst experience ever. Never again.

Staffs attitude, customer service, pickup process and vehicle availability.
