Hertz at 2070 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, California.

Great place to buy cheap cars. No haggle pricing and no pressure from the sales reps. Being that the cars were rentals at one point you have to expect some dings, scratches and dirt but make sure to bring someone who can look at the car for you or they also offer the opportunity to bring the car of your choice to a mechanic/autobody shop to look over the car for you. I would highly recommend this.

I wish there had been some education on the 'fast track' routes prior to driving around southern ca. Several roads I drove required transponders but the rental did not have one. This has led to some binds with fees and paying them retroactively. The Hertz process isn't easy to follow in this regard.
