The full story

Why Hertz Car Sales Phoenix, Az earned this grade

Between April 2026 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.

What they do well

1 thing

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $594 below the AZ average of $594. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 12.4% above the advertised listing — roughly $4,340 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.

TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
