Adequate. But like most car rental places, they put you on edge from the moment you hire the car of exorbitant charges for any minor issue you may cause. Wouldn’t recommend hiring a polestar despite their offer prices unless you can home charge as the price of charging is too high
Hertz Customer
I have recently used this location twice, on both occasions the service was friendly and attentive. The cars were ready and available. Drop off was quick and easy as well.
Hertz Customer
Flight was delayed and Lorraine was very helpful. Thank you.
