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.

Picking up the car at Terminal 2E in Paris is convenient and quick.

High efficiency

The whole car rental process was pretty good. The specific model I reserved wasn't available, so they offered a different car of the same class. However, I had to go to the garage to pick it up and wait. After a long wait, they finally found a car in the parking lot, which was the same model I reserved, a Golf, but it was a diesel TDI version. This car was really great, with quick acceleration and strong pull-back feeling. What surprised me the most was its incredible fuel efficiency; I only used one and a half tanks of fuel for 2051 kilometers, which is unbelievable!!! Additionally, returning the car was a bit troublesome mainly because the roads around Charles de Gaulle Airport are very complicated and almost made me dizzy. But I eventually found the rental return point, and the return process was simple and quick, so overall it was good.
