It's hard to be a Debby Downer because after all, it's a puppet show for kids. Having said that there's something about the shows that falls flat, almost like they are adults without kids who are trying to relate to kids. For example, the first 20 minutes of all the shows is all about the \"rules\" which involves keepi...

I had a great experience at this Hertz (but maybe because I had a horrible one at Payless that I am saying this). Very friendly customer service. Process is efficient. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Can't beat it.

Took longer to rent my car than fly here. Absolutely ridiculous. I was told it would be a 30 min wait and it's been three times that- still waiting... All the chairs in their lobby are full of angry customers.

BAD: 2 weeks in a row, and I had to stand in line to get a car. Really bad!\n\nThey have a $30 surcharge on all rentals.\n\nThey over-charge fuel usage for a hybrid car.\n\nThe workers can't do simple addition.\n\nGo to NATIONAL!
