Vehicles you're likely to actually get
Inventory rotates often, but as of recent customer reports the Hertz fleet at SHV typically includes:
- Economy: Nissan Versa, Mitsubishi Mirage, Kia Rio, Chevrolet Spark
- Midsize: Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, Volkswagen Jetta, Hyundai Elantra
- SUV: Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Jeep Cherokee, Chevrolet Equinox

Bear in mind that "or similar" really does mean similar — if you book a midsize you might get a Toyota Corolla, a Nissan Sentra, or a Volkswagen Jetta. If a specific make matters (e.g. for car-seat anchor compatibility), call the SHV counter directly the day of pickup.
Counter and pickup process
For walk-up customers, expect a short queue at peak hours (early morning departures returning, late evening arrivals picking up). Hertz loyalty members typically get a dedicated lane that cuts wait time by 5–15 minutes. Bring your driver's license, the credit card used for the reservation, and your reservation confirmation number — paper or screenshot is fine.
Return process
Returning a Hertz rental at SHV is straightforward: follow purple "Rental Car Return" signs to the rental facility, pull into the marked Hertz aisle, and a return agent will scan the windshield barcode and email a receipt. Refuel at one of the gas stations on the airport perimeter — refueling charges through the rental brand are typically 2–3× the local pump price.
Add-ons worth considering (and skipping)
Worth it: A second driver fee is usually waived for spouses; if you're traveling as a couple, register both at the counter so either of you can drive legally. Toll transponders make sense if your route passes through a region with all-electronic tolling — the convenience fee is usually $4–6/day plus tolls, which beats hunting for cash lanes.
Usually skippable: The Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) duplicates coverage most credit cards already provide for free — call your card issuer to confirm before traveling. Pre-paid fuel makes sense only if you're returning the car nearly empty; otherwise you're paying for gas you didn't use.
