When returning the car near LA airport, there was a large open-air parking lot shared by three rental companies. The staff on duty that evening gave quick and rushed instructions, asking us to simply leave the keys and go. Later, I discovered that Hertz had overcharged me for an extra day's rental. Fortunately, I had taken some photos as proof, and Rentcars was very proactive in helping me reclaim my dues. However, I was not happy with Hertz's overall process. Make sure to carefully monitor any extra charges on your credit card when renting and returning cars.

Poor service attitude.

The overall service was satisfactory, and they didn't try to upsell unnecessary things.

When I booked, they said all customers could receive a Suburban. However, at pickup, the customer service said there were none left and gave me a GMC Yukon XL. In the parking lot, I noticed a ready-to-go Suburban parked diagonally opposite. I used my US driver's license and phone customer service for online pickup. So initially, the upselling services weren't too excessive. Still, not getting the car I wanted felt like a rip-off.

HERTZ's service is not great. They tried to upsell other services at pickup, which wasted time, and the prices are high. At drop-off, they wanted to charge $175 for cleaning because there was some sand in the car. Although they didn't charge in the end after some argument, it was an unpleasant experience.
