what's a terrible experience with Hertz. The staff is not helpful and not professional at all. They just left the car which was in poor conditions. We insisted to ask for another car but we had waited over one hour to get the car. During our waiting, I approached Hertz staff to ask for the status but their response was one of bored indifference.

Our flight was delayed, so we arrived late. The store saw our luggage and gave us a Nissan Pathfinder, which is even bigger than the Toyota Highlander we originally booked. We were very happy, and there were no extra sales pitches. Returning the car was also easy because we had full insurance, so they hardly checked anything. Very convenient, a great experience.

As expected from a globally renowned rental company, they have a counter right in the airport arrivals hall just after customs. Although communication was a bit challenging, the contract terms were very clear, and there were various insurance options available from basic to full coverage. The car we picked up at the airport was usually a basic model of its type, without many advanced features. However, the car condition was excellent, very clean as if new. Returning the car was also convenient – just drop the keys with the staff at the airport parking lot and head to your flight~

The attitude was poor. I booked a mid-size SUV but was given a small SUV, which couldn't fit all my luggage. The staff did not admit their mistake. After completing the paperwork, I had to wait a long time to get the car, claiming it was being washed. However, there were several mid-size SUVs available in the parking lot. The return location address was inaccurate; the GPS led us around for a long time. Additionally, there were no nearby gas stations, which was very inconvenient. Overall, it was a rather poor rental experience.

The vehicle did not have an E toll tag (which most local vehicles are equipped with), so an additional service fee of 25 AUD was charged for tolls that only cost 4 AUD. Foreigners have to register their citizen information on the Australian local network, which involves a series of nearly impossible tasks to pay the tolls online. It's a bit of a rip-off.

Hertz declined, saying that the car had been assigned for my trip to Melbourne, so there's no extra fee for a one-way rental. If I changed cars, it would cost an additional 400 AUD. I contacted the rental car service, but to no avail. They only confirmed that the fee I paid already included the one-way rental cost, so I kept demanding a free car change. Finally, they downgraded me to a hatchback Corolla without informing me it was a downgrade. I later checked online and realized this meant I effectively paid extra for the one-way fee that should have been included. [Rental car service, please provide an explanation] Secondly, I explicitly requested prepaid fuel in Sydney and the amount charged included it. However, the careless Hertz staff at Sydney Airport didn't reflect this on the confirmation, because I was focused on changing cars. When I returned the car, I noticed the receipt indicated I declined prepaid fuel. I had to argue extensively before Hertz Melbourne acknowledged the error was on Sydney's part. [If renting a car through this service requires such argumentation skills and online support is ineffective, please clarify this in the rental requirements, particularly regarding customers’ English proficiency] All in all, don't place too much hope on the rental car service’s effectiveness when issues arise.

The car provided was relatively old and not very clean. It was full of leaves and mud, and the windows weren't clean either, which took some time to clean.

No Chinese service available, they aggressively promoted additional insurance and extra services like fuel exemption returns. During pickup, they did not guide us to the parking spot, inspect the car together, or direct us to the parking lot exit, they just handed over the keys. Worse, I rented a Nissan Xtrail but received a Hyundai Tucson, which are not in the same class. The vehicle length difference is 20 cm, yet the price remained the same, which was very disappointing.

They kept trying to sell me commercial insurance for $30 a day. Fortunately, I asked a friend back home who told me not to buy it because the rental fee already includes insurance. What they were selling locally is likely similar to the non-deductible insurance in our country. If you're an experienced driver from home, you don't need to buy it. Remember, don't change lanes recklessly—foreigners drive by the rules.

Hertz is very good, the vehicles are new, and the service is excellent. I always choose this company to rent a car. Picking up the car, handling the paperwork, and returning the car is quite convenient. However, when there are issues with the vehicle and you need to negotiate, it is difficult to find their customer service. This is specifically referring to my recent trip in Australia. It could be due to a lack of staff, or maybe our country's services are too convenient in comparison. During this trip in Australia, I had a flat tyre. Since I had PRAS, the time spent calling for assistance was much longer than the waiting time for help to arrive. The phone line was constantly busy. Eventually, assistance arrived, but because the spare tyre was a different size, they just inflated it and couldn't repair the tyre. Later, I went to a nearby repair shop and found out that the tyre was aged and not fit for long-term use, and it needed to be replaced. The important issue was that many repair shops didn't have the same size tyre in stock, and it would take a couple of days to get one. Since I was in a hurry, I couldn't wait that long. After numerous negotiations and waiting, I found a nearby airport where I could exchange the car, but it wasn't close. So I drove the car with the leaking tyre to the exchange location, which took up most of my day.

We hoped they could take us to the airport when returning the car, but they refused. We had a lot of luggage and they didn't agree even after discussing. It was a very poor experience.

Picked up the car early in the morning, no queue. The service was mediocre, the staff's attitude was neither warm nor cold. Couldn't find the handbrake and asked for help; although the staff seemed somewhat unwilling, they did help eventually. Overall, Australian officials tend not to be friendly towards Chinese, but local people are generally quite enthusiastic.

When returning the car, I had definitely refueled it completely, but I didn't keep the receipt. During the inspection, they insisted that the tank wasn't full. I explained multiple times, and they still said they would refuel it. If it was less than 5 liters, there would be no charge, otherwise they would charge me 29 dollars. Later, I found out they charged me 29 dollars. Also, renting a child safety seat for 3 days costs 80 dollars, which is too expensive. My friend also booked a car with me but forgot his credit card. The rental company refused to rent the car to him and wouldn't refund or cancel the reservation. We decided to rent a car on the spot, but the company quoted us 1000 AUD per day, which is ridiculously high.

The person handing over the car was Indian. If you don't buy the insurance they recommend (100 AUD), they find excuses and give you a car with potential issues. The staff who collected the car were very unprofessional, and seemed like dubious Indians, finding faults with the car.

We filled up the gas tank near the airport before returning the car, but were still unfairly charged AUD 35.82 for refueling. This is very unreasonable, and we haven't received a response or refund after lodging a complaint. At pickup, they aggressively pushed insurance with no Chinese service available, making communication very difficult. We didn't get the car model we booked and were forced to take a larger car with an additional charge.

At the Hertz counter in Sydney airport, the staff member tried to take advantage of my poor English by adding full insurance without my consent. Do they think I’m bad with numbers too? I kept refusing, and with the help of a nearby Singaporean Chinese woman who translated for me, I finally understood that even if the incident was someone else's fault, I would still owe $5000 AUD without full insurance. Seriously? Who makes such rules? Do they have such authority? Eventually, they changed it to basic insurance upon my insistence!

Hertz has a counter right at the T2 exit. Initially, there was no one there, and we almost got lost. Fortunately, someone arrived after a while. Service was acceptable; people in Sydney generally aren't very enthusiastic, maybe it's just how city folks are. We had to walk around a bit to find the pickup spot; without guidance, it wasn't very convenient.
