I got authorization return the car to Penticton B.C. (Case # 0190204561 from Shollanda, Employee I.D. NH48270), but when I arrived at Penticton Regional Airpoort there was no Hertz! Very upset!! I called Hertz and was transfered 3 times then when I was told that there were no Hertz locations in Penticton, the representative hung up on me. I called back again and after 2 more transfers, I was told that I would be charged towing charges and any damages if I left the car at Penticton Regional Airport even though I had authorization to do so. I spent over an hour on the phone and I wasted from 9AM to 6PM driving to Penticton, then to Kelowana and then having to bus and get someone to pick me up to get back to Penticton. Not a nice way to spend the last day of a holiday!! I am very very upset and would like a call back to come to some resolution! 5198887950.

The process was quick and the return was also very fast. Although the winter roads were not easy to drive on, I followed the tips provided diligently, paying close attention to road signs and drove carefully. Drivers here mostly follow the rules, so the journey was smooth and safe. Returning the car was simple, and the staff had a good attitude. Just pay attention to the 'car rental return' signs near the airport. The sign texts are in dark gray, so be careful not to take the wrong lane to quickly locate the return parking area.

“Bad experience of Hertz rental”

About Hertz: 8.0 /10

The car was broken down in the road, with check engine light on, and strong gas smelling. We have to call the road assistant to report the issue and waiting for 3 hours to get answer with the next day to have the replacement car. We end up with one more day stay in our intermedia hotel in Jasper and can not cancel that day hotel in Kamloops. So we wasted 500 CAD (Jasper hotel) + 300 CAD (Kamloops hotel) plus one more day stuck in Jasper in the mountain. This is horrible because of the bad condition of the rental car.

Good platform to do the car rental and hotel booking.
