This was a great price for rental car required after personal car totaled in MVA. However, the experience with local Hertz rental company was horrible. The rental was prepaid through the website. When we arrived to pickup the vehicle (within the "grace period") we were told it was no longer available and they did not have any other cars available to replace it with. We asked why they gave away our prepaid reservation, even though we could see the acutal vehicle we booked still sitting on the lot. There was no reasonable or rational response given. Customer service was abysmal to the point that the agent told us to get out of her face and leave the building because she had nothing else to do for us. I asked for a refund. Response was you have to call the 800 number. I had no success in getting ahold of the right person on the 800 number that had the authority to authorize the refund. I absolutely would not recommend renting from this particular Hertz location on Getwell Ave in Memphis, TN. Worst service & experience ever! Still trying to get our money back. Stay away from this location.

Arrived at the airport at 8pm. There wasn’t anyone manning the rental desk there. Proceeded to the rental garage where the only people working were in the Gold Club Kiosk. When we entered nobody greeted us and after a few minutes when I spoke up first thing asked was “Are you a Gold member?” Then when I shared I wasn’t they ignored me for another few minutes. Finally another Hertz employee stepped up and assisted us. He was very courteous, professional and apologetic about the delay. So overall a mixed bag.

Our rental experience was a complete nightmare when it came to getting the rental its self. The first time we showed up we had called ahead to make sure that paying in cash was not gonna be an issue but apparently with that singular location, Our rental experience was a complete nightmare when it came to getting the rental it’s self. The first time we showed up we had called ahead to make sure that paying in cash was not gonna be an issue but apparently with that singular location it is an issue and it requires to have an open credit card and not cash only unless you have two airline tickets now this became a huge problem because I did not have this prepared on hand. I had called prior and check the website to make sure that this wasn’t gonna be an issue and yet it was. The ladies then invited me to go to the other site down the street they couldn’t call for whatever reason to assist me but they suggested we go down there and we go down there. They do not have anything or do they have any suggestions for anything else in this whole beginning of my experience with renting a car through Alamo was absolutely garbage. The ladies laughed because this was a regular issue , which didn’t really help anything at all in the car itself was great. It was literally just the customer service experience when I did call the customer service line to get assistance. I was told multiple times have the policy worked and then when I finally asked the gentleman if he was going to assist me after I was told that he was going to be able to help with the cash/card problem. He’s straight up told me no he wasn’t going to help me and hung up the phone. The rental it’s self was great but we had to air up tires shortly after leaving.

First of all my sister had rented the car and I was the driver unable to pick up vehicle and Tony was no help and very rude. 2nd the next rear tire kept going low and we had to stop frequently to our air in the tire. We called a lost the tire issue and was told we needed to take it to Firestone and have the tire fixed or have them change the spare. There was no sense in Alamo sending someone out for just a tire. Well if that tire had blown out you would of been doing more than just a tire. I don’t feel it’s my job to fix the tire on a rental care but then again pick was terrible so why would I think custom service would be any better. Do not rent from Alamo ever

Ced, the owner and manager of the downtown location, called the day before to confirm the reservation. When he did, he noted that my reservation was needed at the airport, instead of his location. He then confirmed that the airport location would have a car and took care of everything, despite it not being a direct benefit to him. This is outstanding customer service, and a shining example of someone that takes pride in his work. Thank you!

Needed a Standard SUV to pack up my stuff to move 12 hours away. I made the reservation 3 weeks in advance, and I get a call 2 hours before my pickup time saying that they didn't have the vehicle I reserved. They then directed me to another pickup location and changed my reservation without my permission and doubled my daily rental rate. They didn't answer my phone calls, which directed me to the main office in Dallas, and their response was "Sorry sir, we can't change your reservation back". I showed up to the new location and got stuck with a smaller vehicle that didn't have enough room for my belongings. The whole thing has been absolute nonsense. If you don't have the vehicle I reserved, don't have it as an option for me to set up a reservation under.

Thrifty sent a text 30 min ahead offering me to skip the counter by choosing my car. I got “car unavailable - refresh in 15 min”. I did. No car. Again. No car. Went to the place anyway, it got worse. Person at counter said “We don’t have any cars for one-way. I’ll have to call a manager for approval and I’ll call you when we have one. At least 30 minutes.” I never got a call. Never got a car. Since I used Expedia, she said she couldn’t cancel. Since it was after the reservation time, Expedia said (on an app) canceling was not available and no refund.
