The overall service was okay, but there were only two staff members at the counter, leading to long wait times.

This time, I picked up the car from the Hertz store at Perth Airport. The service is available until midnight, so you don't need to worry too much about the typical flight times. The pick-up process was much faster compared to the Hertz in Melbourne, possibly because I had rental information saved from a few days earlier at the Melbourne store. The service staff were very friendly. I had reserved a Nissan X-Trail, but when I arrived, they prepared a Toyota Highlander for me. I told the staff I preferred a mid-sized SUV and ideally the Kia Sportage I had driven earlier. The staff apologized and informed me they didn't have the Sportage available, but after calling a colleague, they managed to get a Subaru Forester for me within ten minutes. The car was almost new with only 12,000 km on it and no visible scratches. The staff asked if I had insurance, and I confirmed I had full coverage, so they didn't ask further. Overall, it was a great experience.

I rented from Thrifty and waited in line for a bit. I'm not very good at English, but the staff wrote down key information for me, including the total insurance amount (required for those under 25), deposit fees, return time, etc. They didn't try to upsell additional services.

Got upgraded

Wait so long time to pick up the car but overall the experience was good.
