    They have some inherent problems. There is no guarantee that the car will be at the location you reserved it at because it is a car sharing program. They will not take responsibility if the car is not there or even if it is not function at the time of your rental. They will direct you to another one of their cars if it is available, but if not then they’ll give you two hour driving credit for all of your troubles. Hertz on Demand has poor customer service which makes the entire thing not worth it.
