Downtown (Cleveland) car rental reviews and directory
The car I received had been used by a smoker, even though all Hertz cars are supposed to be non-smoking. It was turned over to me with the front seat passenger's seatbelt wrapped around the headrest. The Hertz employee spent about three minutes trying to release the seatbelt, and then told me, "You will have to YouTube it." The passenger's seat could not be used. It took me about an hour and a half to free the seatbelt, including YouTube and other web research. Regarding the smell of smoking, I called Hertz after I arrived at my destination. They recorded my complaint, and suggested that I buy a container of spray deodorizer. This did not solve the problem. The day after I returned the car, I received an updated invoice, charging me $400 as a smoking fee. It took about an hour on the phone to get this charge removed, including the holding time and the many minutes necessary to get through the AI customer service preventer.

Hands-down the worst experience I've ever had with car rental. Booked the car in the morning from my hotel room. Took a $35 Uber ride over to the location. There's no one there. Sat around for 10 minutes until someone showed up, took my name and told me there are "no cars available". Even though I had literally just booked one an hour ago through the website. He said it would probably be at least a couple of hours before they got any cars. Suggested I try moving my reservation to the airport location instead. OK.... Could he do that for me? No -- apparently I have to call the 800 number. Call the number. Get stuck speaking to AI, which refuses to let me speak to a person, no matter what I do. Eventually the AI bot tells me I can't change my reservation because it's past the cutoff time. So I hang up. I then ask the guy at the desk if I can just cancel. He says, sure, but you have to call the 800 number, because he can't cancel for me. (Apparently Hertz has never heard of this thing called computers). So I call the 800 number again. I ask the AI bot to cancel the booking. It tells me that it can't because it's past the cutoff. Eventually get through to a person, who cancels it for me. Then have to take ANOTHER $35 Uber ride to the airport, to see if I can rent from another company. Total waste of an hour and a half of my time and a lot of my money.

The car that I was given was dirty and Ws nit to my standard. Not only was it dirty but also was using more gasoline than anticipated. It drove like n old vehicle I tried to change at the airport location since the downtown had close early. Thrvtrest ent I experir ce was horrible from an agent and Lala. She was unprofessional told me I had to wait.30 minutes. An hour sent by and she refuse to give me service. She kept bfudhing me off told me I was not platinum and get seek g everyone but ne. There are 2 other agrnts they told me I had to see her but she refuse to give md service. After back and forth another agent sas me and gave the exchange. It took over 2 hours to exchange a csr with no long line. This ssx a terrible experienceand I don't hnink I will ever rent from Hertz agsin . Just because I was not platinum I cold not get service? I had hold ststid which ghry claim hsd expired. So now we don't see individuals as customers? All shod be treated with dignity and respect. The Maplewood Cleveland airport was beyond horrible. The downtown location wss where I was given dirty old car.

Taking a lyft to downtown saved me a lot of money vs renting at the airport, but the downtown facility is in an old building. It wasn't as clean (the building... hertz was cleaned and a step up... but getting to it you walk through some ugly)

There are not enough words in this space to explain my horrible and beyond frustrating experience renting a car in Cleveland (airport area) through Hertz. The rental process via Kayak was fine. However, if you ever have a problem with a service booked through Kayak, there is no help from Kayak. Period. This will also be the last time I use Kayak due to their lack of customer service. From the Hertz standpoint, I was told three times by the phone rep that I had to pick up my car at the airport location, which was not near where I thought I had to pick it up (downtown). He insisted. So I went to the airport location to get the car only to be told I had to go downtown. I told them the phone rep insisted I come to the airport even though I was willing, and thought I would go to the downtown location. They said they can't rent a car to me unless I paid a nearly $700 additional fee because I had prepaid for my rental. What does that have to do with anything? Then I was told that I couldn't pick up downtown because their office is in fact closed. I asked why Hertz allowed me to book from an office that wouldn't be open the day I needed to get the car, and confirmed to me it would be available. I was told "It happens all the time and we don't know why." A very long, frustrating time later, and after speaking with two local counter reps and two phone reps, I was able to rent the car from the airport location but told I had to return it to the downtown location and not at the airport. When I returned it to the downtown location as instructed, the first thing out of the counter rep's mouth was "why didn't you just return it at the airport, it would be easier, you can do that you know." He did accept the return at his office and was pleasant. The biggest problem I had was at pick up and return with the phone reps, both who did not have very good English and didn't listen to me, or understand me, and were not willing to assist. No one ever answered a local office number. When I asked to speak to a manager on the national customer service line I was told there is no manager on duty because it was a Saturday. Really? Doubtful. Counter reps push the problem to the national call center, and vice versa. There is also a very big difference in how they treat pre-paid clients with on the spot bookings. Anyway, it was a really horrible experience and never again will I rent from Hertz. They don't know their head from their tail, and have no desire to rectify the problem THEY created, not me.
No car at specified time. Rude staff. Awful experience, deleting your app

While I called Budget the day before pickup to make sure a car would be waiting since I was on a tight schedule, and was assured a car would be ready by 8am, when I got there not only was there no car but I was told there is no guarantee there would be a car at anytime that day. Nor were there cars at other lots in Cleveland. I had to wait three hours for a car by which time it was too late to get to the drop off in DC, my destination. I will now have to drop off the car next morning without the benefit of having my friend pick me up as I had arranged the night before, and instead have to take the metro and a 40 minute walk to get where I'm going. The reason I put value as the only high mark is because I was told I would receive a discount after the car was returned. We'll see if Budget actually keeps is word. Now I have a question: are these comments actually read and do they mean anything?

Slow process in getting into the car, as site cleaned cars as you wait for it, instead of ahead of time. Nowhere to sit while you wait
