I specifically booked a Hertz Highlander, but only a Sorento was available at pickup. The price for a Sorento is half at other shops. The car had a bad odor throughout! Pickup was at 7 PM and drop-off at 8 PM. I confirmed that a one-hour delay was permissible, but was charged for at least half a day.

Good, big company with fast efficiency

When I picked up the car at the Auckland airport counter, they said that the model I needed (Highlander) was not available. They asked me to downgrade to a RAV4 or switch to a minivan. After almost two hours of back and forth, they finally managed to get a Highlander for me, wasting a lot of time. For a big company like HERTZ, such issues are absolutely inexcusable.

Since my flight arrived early, HERTZ promptly made preparations and helped complete all the formalities. Picking up and returning the car was very convenient. The staff had already installed the baby seat before I picked up the car. Overall, everything went smoothly.

Very convenient, and the customer service was excellent. We picked up the car at Auckland Airport, and the Hertz service counter was immediately to the right as we exited the airport, very close. Our itinerary included a ferry from the North Island to the South Island. After pre-booking and self-service car exchange, we picked up a car directly from the Hertz counter on the South Island. It was very convenient.
