I have been renting from Hertz since 1995, when they came to my rescue after Budget was unable to provide the car I had reserved with them months earlier. In all this time, Hertz has been absolutely great. I have not ever had the experience alluded to in this post.
I check the car when I pick it up; they check it when I return it. No damages; no problems. Maybe I pay a little more with Hertz. I don't care. Its worth the peace of mind knowing that I am dealing with a professional, reputable outfit. Besides, any time I am willing to tear myself away from Orient Bay (where we stay) for an hour I can have the car washed at no cost, too.
