Jan 2019
Pros:
Nothing to like. Booked car. Took an hour ride to pick up car. They said they had no car for me, even though my booking was confirmed and showed on their computerCons:
Do not book hertz. If you book online it would be wise to call and confirm they have a vehicle. The website will let you book regardless of inventory. Stay away from La Jolla CA location6.0 Okay
Mar 2018
Pros:
Michael and Phillip were doing their best with the resources they had available.Cons:
Car was not available when we got there and we were delayed by an hour and a half. Were assigned to car that had just been turned back in and had to wait for it to be cleaned and it still had food, plastic fork and other trash in it. Outside of vehicle was damaged significantly too. Per the office, overbooking is common and causes great frustration for staff and customers. Need major improvement in this area.Dollar
