We HATE HERTZ. We love Avis. I booked a car online with Hertz to pick up from Southampton on Friday afternoon. I booked GPS, not a luxury in my case but an absolute necessity. Hertz will take your reservation. They just can’t seem to be able to provide you with what you’ve ordered. No GPS on any of the cars they had in their lot. After much, huffing and puffing and ‘Maybe you could take this car tonight and we can see if we can swap it tomorrow at an undefined time for a car with GPS but I can’t guarantee anything”, I said, “Thanks very much, but I’ll just cancel the whole deal and if you can let me know the number of the taxi that would be great.”
Five minutes later I arrived at Avis where they could hook me up with a car for the same price, and GPS. I told them that I’d just come from Hertz where they couldn’t deliver on the order, so I got a special deal on the Chevy Cobalt. It was no pony, but it was a coupe with a rear spoiler, but not being local, I don’t know whether a Chevy Cobalt is a cool car or not, or whether it’s just like getting a hyundai Excel with a spoiler? Shane advice?
