The car was in poor mechanical condition and could impose a dangerous situation for an inexperienced driver. At some point I felt a little unsafe as the car was pulling to right at any given time.

pulled in to return car at Charlotte airport at 12:30am. Sign said it was open until 1am. Car blocking the entrance to the returns, no one in the car, no one on staff at the return center. There was no way to return the car; we were forced to return to return it at 4:30am. The Hertz rep I talked with on the phone said "there is nothing i can do to help you". Terrible, and I should be completely reimbursed for this entire rental.

Vehicle is new, very comfortable, ran fantastic. Very easy to rent a car at this airport and to return it. The you g lady who took me to my van was awesome!

The guy working at the desk is unfriendly and didn’t seem to enjoy his job working with people. Second time I’ve had the same experience with someone working at this counter at this airport. When I pulled a van around to pick up my family at baggage claim we realized someone had not put the flooring back correctly and it was difficult for them to quickly get in because they were two huge holes when you open the side van doors. We had to find a good spot once we left the airport where we could get out and put the flooring back the way it was supposed to be. I cannot imagine how difficult this would have been if I were picking up children instead of Teenagers. The seats fold down into the floor and someone had apparently pulled the seats back up where they belong but never bothered to put the flooring back right when they were cleaning it.

Avis policy prohibits the rental of a car without a return flight or major credit card. That was not disclosed at the time of reservation. The bigger issue was that the agent lied and said no rental car company in the airport would rent with one of those two things. Untrue! Dollar and Hertz both rented to the people the Avis agent turned away.
