Great experience, sparkling clean car, excellent service

We arrived at HERTZ earlier than the scheduled pickup time, and they didn't have the reserved model available. The staff said we could only choose either a fully electric car or a manual transmission vehicle, or pay double the order price to upgrade to another option. I refused and suggested waiting to see what could be done. After waiting for nearly two hours, a senior employee helped us by offering a smaller SUV model compared to what we had booked. I had reserved a compact SUV capable of fitting three 24-inch suitcases in the trunk, but we were given a subcompact SUV where only two 24-inch suitcases barely fit. After storing the luggage, there was hardly any space left—even a large bottle of mineral water couldn't fit. I've rented cars abroad five or six times before, and this was the only instance where the rental company downgraded the car model. The service at the HERTZ Heathrow Airport branch is genuinely poor. However, the vehicle itself was in good condition—very new with only a few thousand miles driven.

High efficiency

Good car rental company

Early pick up on day of arrivel could have been better. I would have offered to pay it.But to say i would have to upgrade as they did,nt have a car in my range was a bit upseting.

A car when i arrived, this booking was made Six months beforehand so it should have been there.

Terrible - Hertz wanted to charge a 1.300 GBP deposit on my credit card (including a horrendous imaginary price for fuel refilling)which was beyond my limit. I ended up having to take additional insurance of Hertz which costed 100 EUR and doubled the price of my car rental. They would then only take a 300 GBP deposit. An awful start into my holiday. And when a tyre went flat, the insurance wouldn't even cover that cost. :-( Apart from these incidents, it was okay!
