We booked a Volvo XC60 but were given a BMW X3 ES RK. They said it was the same, and because our English isn't great, we didn’t ask if there were extra charges. Later, we found out there was an extra charge of 600 euros for our 59-day rental. Also, after driving 2,000 km, the screen showed a warning to replace the engine oil. I feel like they gave us a problematic car. This is the first time we’ve encountered this kind of situation, and it's really frustrating. We called three times but no one answered. When we emailed, they told us to visit the nearest Hertz branch to have the car replaced. At that time, we were in Norway, but the Hertz branch in Norway told us that since the car was rented in France, the issue had to be resolved with the French office. In the end, we just kept driving that car until this trip was over.
The car was not full of gas when picked up. I took photos and asked the staff to verify and record it. When returning the car, I left more than nearly one tank of gas, but was still charged for a full tank after returning to my country. Despite multiple attempts to reclaim the cost and providing relevant evidence, I didn’t receive a refund. Some colleagues had similar experiences, so friends renting cars should pay special attention.
We chose Hertz because we used it in the USA and had good experiences. This time, we booked a Renault. Initially, the staff said that since we didn’t provide our flight number, the car was still in the garage and suggested we take another car from the lot for an additional fee. We decided to wait for our booked Renault, which we had already fully paid for. The wait was not long, and the car was nearly new, diesel-powered, with good performance. Returning the car at the airport was very convenient with no delays. Highly recommended.
Overall, it was good, but the prices are a bit high. However, they do accept translated driver's licenses.
