10/10 all round experience

It was okay. The staff at the front desk were a bit strange. I had already purchased the highest level of insurance on the platform, but when I got there, they asked if I wanted to add even more insurance. For safety reasons, I agreed to buy their highest level, which cost an extra 40 AUD. They also asked if I wanted to pay 19 AUD for a benefit that covers tunnel and highway tolls, claiming that the cost of a single trip through a tunnel or on a highway would normally be over 30 AUD, so this would be a good deal. I declined, saying I could use Google to avoid those routes. After that, the staff stopped talking and their attitude became cold. How can they serve customers like this?

The car pickup was relatively smooth. I want to mention two things: they gave me a Qashqai instead of the X-TRAIL I booked, but I let it go. Also, the front tire was underinflated; the staff didn't check it properly.

The service was quite ordinary. I had bought full insurance from Zuzuche, but when I arrived, they aggressively pushed for more insurance, which wasted a lot of time. After the insurance, they pushed for an e-tag. When the guy asked where we were going, we said Blue Mountains, and he told us not to buy it. It turned out we did incur toll costs, probably a navigation issue. They pushed for various things, including a GPS rental, which was annoying. The car they gave us was an old Nissan with several tens of thousands of kilometers on it and no features. It struggled on hills and consumed a lot of fuel. They pointed out a few damaged parts on the car before we left. The parking lot was full of Corollas when we arrived, which felt intentional. It's like they gave us a bad car because we didn’t buy anything extra. I recommend buying directly at the store to avoid headaches. A few days ago, I rented a Mercedes with full insurance from the official EU website and got a free upgrade. Think about it.

Fast service, clean new car

Used on a number of occasions, would recommend

Everything was just perfect. They even gave us a much better car than we ordered which was amazing! Just the drop off location on the airport was bad but it was because of some construction there. And I think I still haven’t received the deposit back but it probably takes time so I hope it will be ok and I would recommend Hertz to anybody in Sydney!!
