Disappointed in the service at this location. We were supposed to have a pick up, a free service offered. We decided to do this since we were getting an early rental. No one showed up or called. We walked to the location, but when we arrived and told them we had been waiting there was no apology or concern about the missed service request. While waiting we attempted to contact someone and were redirected to the after hours 800 number.The gentleman working in the office was friendly and very helpful in getting us to our car and explaining the policies. The other individual working in the office was unaware of the rental/return and toll procedures. I contacted the office prior to renting and spoke with her and had the same experience. I was able to do my own research and get the information we needed.This rental facility is conveniently located for many downtown hotels. I wish our experience was better.
This was my worst rental experience ever. The staff was nice, but they seemed poorly trained and didn’t seem to care. Care was filthy inside and out. I asked for a different car. Again this car was disgusting inside and out and had bald tires. As a result I took the first car. The odor of perfume/ air freshener in this car was unbearable. So bad to the point where it felt like my eyes were burning. Brought the car back and got one from enterprise.
This location happens to be very convenient if youre in the downtown area in Buffalo or took the bus into the main bus station. However there is one major caveat in that there was no drop box. If you need to return the car on weekends or when the facility is closed, the procedure which isnt made clear if youre renting via the website is to actually return the car to the airport Hertz facility. If you are planning on taking the bus from the bus station, this detour can put a serious dent in your plans. Otherwise, I have good things to say about the people.
Bad service. One of the women tried to rent us a very dirty car. Only after I pointed out the issue, they tried to solve it but it was another employee (a pregnant woman) who cleaned it up, while her partner, a younger woman, just watched her doing all the job. I saw this at the very end of the process, otherwise I wouldve said something about it. Didnt liked the place at all.
Rented a crappy, dirty Hyundai Elantra with 28,000 miles... Gave to us on empty. Never told us about toll road on 190 in granite City.... No toll booths... They said to expect a toll bill in a couple of weeks. That would have been nice to know before leaving Buffalo. Overall, not very pleased with the car and the staff.

2022-02-15Love the people at Hertz! Only thing that sucks is you cant get a rental car unless you have a credit or debit card. If you dont then you cant rent. Other than that I had a great experience with their rental car, they treated me with respect and worked with me in order to help me. Couldnt have been happier. Would recommend using them over anyone else!

2022-04-22I like hertz in general,theres no hassle when renting,but my last experience wasnt really up to par,my car was prepaid for over a month in advance,but I had to wait for them to clean the car when I picked it up,I just thought that should have been done already,then all they did was vacuum it,the car had no windshield wiper fluid and it needed an oil change,the car it self was a nice vehicle,also if u tell me one price on line and I prepay,dont give me another price when I drop the car off and then tell me Im paying more bcause the trunk space is bigger,its supposed to b bigger if its a suburban. I would still use them again tho.

2022-06-18No gold member service here, or at least not when we got there at midnight but the one man service was pretty fast and got us on our way quickly. What can I say, its Hertz! Thumbs up!!

2021-10-14I was met with a smile and told the vehicle nhad not arrived. To me that was beyond the agents control. People return when they return. When car did return it was cleaned and provided to me. I appreciate their caring and pleasant matter. To me both agents went the extra mile. Their were many unpleasant customers but both dealt with them in an expedited manner. I definitely would not have dealt with so many unpleasant customers in such a professional manner.

2021-08-25Wow. I have been trying to get a hold of someone over the phone and it is impossible. I just want to check if my car will be ready for pick up. I want to make sure that there is a car for me and that it will be clean and ready to go. It is impossible to get a hold of anyone. Not even HQ! Seriously the worst customer service - which is non existent! May have to cancel my reservations and go with Enterprise or Budget. Will have to fight for them to waive the cancelation fees.

2021-08-17Rented a vehicle which was complete garbage. Ive never rented a vehicle that I had to spend 30 minutes cleaning myself! RIDICULOUS.There were broken spots on the windshield, dirt literally everywhere inside, brakes making squealing noises, alignment was off, braking shakes the car.How can something like this be RENTED!? If i had known early I would not have rented. When I picked up nothing was available to change with. I had to go on a 1000 miles trip in this garbage. I need to speak with customer service. This is unacceptable. I will file a complaint on BBB.

2021-08-20I wish car rental companies would realize that when we travel we have very limited time. We have a hard start (when we arrive) and a hard stop (when we leave)I prepaid for the rental and agreed to accept whatever they had available. Still I waited an hour AFTER my time at the counter to get my car.This is terrible customer service.

2017-03-07Staff was very helpful and friendly and you cant beat the value! Weekends tend to be less expensive as they have more cars available.

2022-04-23Picked up a car with a low oil light on. The girl at the desk doing everything by herself needs a raise.
