Great car, bur costly upgrade fee from Hertz for one with built-in SatNav.

Very short wait at counter, which was great after a long flight. There was no hard sell of add-on insurances or fuel policies. On arriving at the rental garage we couldn't find the keyless ignition fob of our selected car, so Hertz speedily rectified this by finding us another car of a slightly better spec for no extra cost. Return of the car at the end of the rental was painless as well. The return agent was very friendly and made sure we knew about where to return the visitors toll pass on the way back to the airport.

Great experience

Great service

When I collected the car the man at the counter tried to charge me an extra $25 for being 20 minutes early (09:40 for a 10:00 collection) and when I suggested I wait the 20 minutes in the office he was clearly displeased but carried on with the admin of check in. Then he advised that if I was at all late bringing it back he wouldn't hesitate to add a charge (Failing to notify me of the statutory 30 grace period shown in your terms). Fortunately he didn't add the charge after my objection but it left a bad taste in the mouth and I remain irritated by his attitude. Fortunately the staff member to whom I returned the vehicle had a significantly better attitude when checking the vehicle for fuel, mileage and damage (full tank, no damage).

Hertz charged me a much higher rate than was quoted. Waited over an hour on hold and no one ever picked up at the billing department. They may have got me for 150 dollars but they lost a customer for life and I plan on telling anyone that listens just how bad they are. I also rent a lot of cars for work mostly National and have never been treated like this.
