Hertz – Glenside

Get your car here — right near the Glenside Train station (I think). I rented a car through Travelocity, to pick up the Tuesday before Pope-​a-​Palooza in Philadelphia. I got a great rate — $ 149 plus tax for the week for a compact. I’d chosen this Hertz in Glenside because I figured there wouldn’t be any pope-​related traffic. It turned out I wouldn’t be able to pick it up then, so I called (national) Hertz to change the pick up time. They told me that if I waited the day and a half I needed to pick it up they could not honor the rate I had and that the base rate would be $ 250 plus tax. I told them I’d happily pay over the phone but I couldn’t get there and didn’t need it.
I called the local place, and the manager, Bobby Hernandez, could not have been more helpful. He said he absolutely could honor the rate, and he did. He rented me a powder blue VW bug, which I loved and which was great to drive — the last two times I’ve rented from Hertz they’ve given me really junky cars in the compact category, which they advertise as «Ford Focus or similar.» I was about to ditch Hertz, and now I have a new rental place.
Thanks1
