Great car, shame about the pick up at hertz

Satisfied

Excellent service. Since it was my first time driving on a toll highway and I didn't know how to pay, a Hertz employee was very helpful and called to pay the toll for me when I returned the car. I'm truly grateful; they saved me a lot of money. For future visitors driving in the U.S., if you don't want to take the highway, set the GPS to avoid highways. If you're okay with highways, remember that at toll booths, you have to exit the main line to pay and then merge back in.

Hertz's service is very standardized, but the efficiency of car pickup is not very high. I waited for an hour at their Union Square location to get the car. The vehicle had less than 5000 kilometers, was clean and very new. However, I booked an Altima Classic online but received a Versa Classic instead. Not sure if these two cars are considered 'same class,' although the latter was sufficient, its power and space are noticeably less. It's worth mentioning that the car return efficiency was extremely high. At the huge Hertz return area at Los Angeles airport, the staff checked the car in 2 minutes and then a shuttle bus took me back to my hotel near the airport. Overall, quite satisfied.

The store was a bit far from where we were staying, about a 15-20 minute walk. The store itself was quite small, and there weren't many cars to choose from. Hertz is a big company, so the service was nice. Returning the car was very convenient; just checked the fuel gauge at the airport and we were done.
