Terrible. Rude staff. Didn't want to help me or my wife. Left my wife in tears out the front with zero regard. We went to pick up our car, we had already made the booking in advance because we wanted to be organised. We had tours already paid for that we needed to be at. Arrived at downtown calgary avis on 10th ave and thats where the trouble started. Natalia was who we spoke with, Wouldn't use our international debit card even though it says in the terms and conditions that they do accept international debit cards? She offered zero help as to what we could do to get us on our way, zero compassion or concern for us sitting out the front with all of our bags while my wife was crying. The only input she had was "this isnt worth me losing my job" Went to another avis and received the best service and used our international debit card with no problems. The downtown calgary avis needs to have a serious talk with current staff about customer service. Due to natalia's lack of care and willingness to help, we lost money for a tour that we had already paid for. Lost money having to go elsewhere and hire another car. And caused a massive amount of stress and anxiety that we didn't need on our honeymoon

Service representative was the least helpful person I've ever had at any rental car company. Pickup document showed full gas tank but was actually one quarter full. Luckily I took a photo before I drove off with the odometer and fuel tank level. When dropping off, told the same rep about the tank and he asked me to take a photo of the odometer and fuel gauge. The representative also had a proper conversation with a prior customer who is likely from the same geographic region as himself but did not provide that same level of service to me. I don't need to be pampered, I'm just saying bare minimum service levels need to be had with everyone. Gave avis a try but won't be renting with avis again after this experience.

Horrible experience they were not open and were not answering the phone, so how was I supposed to pickup the car or drop it off. No assistance from customer service ..essentially I cancelled the rental as I couldn’t talk to anyone at the location and customer service wouldn’t help me .

We took a taxi from the Airport. I would have paid the extra to have the car there to meet us. I left my sunglasses in the car. I would be very delighted to get them mailed to me.

The staff gave me excellent service during my time in Calgary. My rental was supposed to be for 5 days, but they advised me I'd be getting a 6th day free as they were closed on the day I was supposed to return the car. They were extremely friendly and informative, and the process was clear and quick. I will definitely be doing business with Hertz again the next time I'm needing a vehicle in Calgary or any other province within Canada!

Pros:

Ana Maria was a great person to deal with. Customer service was par excellence. She was quick to point out the facts and help us out with the rental. Mike was courteous too. I was amazed at their customer service. Prompt and proactive.

Cons:

The vehicle had some side pockets on the door that were not cleaned and there were food crumbs near the gear-shifter from previous rental. We had to wipe it clean with a wet towel and a disinfectant especially in this pandemic environment.

Pros:

Friendly staff. This is the third time I've rented from this location and there's always a bit of a wait.

Cons:

The after hours drop off worked well but they tell customers "you are responsible for the vehicle until the keys are picked up in the morning". So it feels risky to do it but we had to due to our timelines.
