The car pickup process is simple and quite fast.

Easy to find, it's right in the city center. When you see the huge Hertz sign, you're almost there...

I picked up the car in downtown Melbourne. The young man kept trying to upsell me to a hybrid Camry for nearly double the price. I told him I already drive a hybrid in my home country and that the Cruze would be fine. Despite that, he insisted on giving me the keys to experience it. Do I really seem that naive? The Cruze's condition was good, everything you need is there, and with just 40,000 km on the odometer, it still felt relatively new.

Pretty good. Rented the car downtown, and it was quite nice. It seems like we got a free upgrade.

Convenient location, many available cars, and they are new.
