Pros: We got what we paid for.

Cons: Past experience with Hertz has always been stellar. This time, the car and options were mediocre; the service at pickup was poor; and the service at dropoff was nonexistent.

Pros: Staff helpful. Car upgraded because the option I requested wasn't available. Staff also did not try to talk me into all sorts of other options or protection plans.

Cons: Upon return the process required me to check in at a special desk because my point of origin was across state lines. Not a huge deal, but I'm glad I gave myself plenty of time. A heads up that this might occur for long, one-way rentals would be helpful.

Pros: It was odd to go in search of my car in the side lot of the airport at midnight. But I got in and out of the airport safely, with no real issues. The car was clean and performed well.

Pros: I was told i was pickup at the airport since i didnt have much time--was on a 1/2 day business trip. Shuttle took too long and since i was in danger of missing my flight i didnt have time to fill up the tank costing me an extra 80$ 4x what the rental cost.

Cons: You can waive the gas fee on this payment if you ever want to have me as a hertz customer ever again. Please contact me and i will be glad to hear from you but otherwise i will never use hertz again.

Pros: The rental location isn't at the airport, as advertised. In fact it's the ONLY car rental not located at the airport. For some reason, Hertz is a 10 minute shuttle ride to a hotel, where their office is. Not convenient. Not fun.

Cons: Put the rental car business at the airport, like all of the others. Not a 10 minute drive away.

Cons: Your site misrepresented Hertz--saying that they would take credit and debit cards (I don't have a major credit card). Hertz rudely said they wouldn't honor that, so I had to figure out another plan the day I was leaving on a vacation that had been planned for two months. Budget figured out an option for me the same day.

Inconvenient Pickup and Dropoff

Pros: I was given a comfortable, clean Subaru Crosstrek.

Cons: Pickup required a shuttle from the airport to a local hotel. There was only one Hertz agent so the wait in line with all the other folks from the shuttle was LONG. When I returned the car there was the same lengthy wait. Then I was denied a receipt because I didn't know the mileage. I was on unlimited mileage and no one had told me I would need to report it back. The agent said this was for their maintenance purposes which has absolutely nothing to do with me and doesn't explain why I couldn't get a receipt. If I fly back in to this airport again I'll use a different rental company.

Saved money away from the airport, got taken on gas

Pros: Saved airport fees by renting at non-airport location. Got a free upgrade from Kayak/Hertz too. Toyota Camry was the perfect size for 3 adults, kids and luggage for 10 days.

Cons: Car was not cleaned well inside, stains on driver's seat and carpet. Got taken on the gas refill by Hertz, it was not clear to me that I was buying a full tank of gas at $3.09, therefore any gas left in the tank I had paid for and didn't use.I thought i would only be charged for the gas to fill the tank when the car was returned. Rental companies pay commission to employees for selling extra insurance and services. I should have known better, just fill it up and return it on time.

Bad tires

Pros: when walking around the first KIA Sedona w/ the Hertz rep to check for existing damage, I saw that all 4 tires had only about 3/32" of tread, almost down to the wearbars, technically still legal, but absolutely unacceptable. No sipes were remaining in the tread, which means terrible wet road traction. Hertz (and nobody else for that matter) should rent out a vehicle with such little tire tread remaining. Fortunately, there was another van there for us, but they were going to rent out this vehicle had I not objected. Is it Hertz' corporate policy to rent out cars until the tires are legally unusable ? If so, you are endangering any renter who takes this on a wet highway.

Top tips for renting a car in Medford

Most Popular Car Type	Compact

It is highly recommended that visitors of Medford rent a vehicle for the duration of their time in the city. The main reason for this is that there is no other way to get around town. There are some limited bus routes, but their service is often slow and does not cover the entirety of the city. Also, if you plan on enjoying the natural scenery while you are in Medford, having a rental car of your own is certainly the best way to achieve that.

One thing drivers should keep in mind when driving at night on country roads around Medford is that wildlife is very common in the area. In fact, wildlife such as elk and deer are numerous throughout the whole state of Oregon. While this is not an overly serious concern, it never hurts to be a bit cautious when you are driving late at night on dark roads.

Visitors to Medford will be happy to hear that rush hour traffic is not a big deal here. However, there is some degree of congestion during peak hours in the morning, starting at 8:00 a.m. and lasting until 9:00 a.m. Medford’s rush hour congestion pops back up again in the afternoon starting around 4:00 p.m. and then finishes off around 6:00 p.m. Aside from those two periods, though, there is not too much congestion to worry about. Most of the city’s congestion is also limited to Crater Lake Highway, particularly as it nears I-5.
