Shreveport Airport car rental reviews and directory
The staff during the return were not friendly at all. In fact the woman had her hand over her face, peeked through at me and asked, ‘what do you want?’ If she’s that miserable why work there?
Unfortunately, we had an awful experience. The Hertz dealer at Shreveport was understaffed and under stocked. I waited approximately 4 hours for my car. The young lady at the desk had to go and wash vehicles herself. There were over 20 customers waiting for their vehicles. I had booked a vehicle to be picked up on the 22nd of June weeks in advance. When I attempted to get my keys, the gal said she could see my reservation. But, she said it was forcing her to charge me again and it would be up me to get my money back for the “extra” charge. I did not receive the type of vehicle I had requested. It was a nice car, clean, filled with fuel and reliable. To top it off the rental was for the incorrect amount of days and the return location was incorrect. We spent an hour and a half, while driving, with multiple agents that corrected the days and the drop off point. As of today, we have not received our refund. The poor gal at the desk was doing all she could do to help. She was not getting any help from the other two workers that were present. She was begging them to wash vehicles and they basically refused. Customers should be aware that they are not able to arrive at the airport, grab their keys and drive away. Kayak should warn customers that they may be dealing with difficulties when renting cars from Hertz at this location.

I reserved a car several days in advance, Hertz had no cars available when I got to the airport. The lady at the counter was completely unhelpful.
Excellent. We were upgraded for free. The car was very nice and accommodated our needs well. When we returned the car, my husband accidentally left his wallet on the counter. A few minutes later the associate came running after us to return it promptly! My only complaints are that I didn’t love the air freshener that they used…it was kind of a heavy smell. And for the drop off, the email sent didn’t have very clear instructions on where to park and what the drop off process was.
