The process was very fast, returning the car was convenient, and the credit card pre-authorization was released quickly.

We wanted to change the return location last minute and tried to contact the rental company. Unfortunately, no one answered the phone or was at the store. Even the customer service hotline was unresponsive, which was really frustrating.

Terrible experience!!! Just awful!!! We booked a mid-size SUV, and HERTZ's list included four models: RAV4, OUTLANDER, X-TRAIL, and a Renault model, but we ended up with a very poor HYUNDAI TUCSON. It has weak power!! It struggled to climb hills in Melbourne and had turtle-like acceleration when loaded!! The key issue is that this car wasn't even listed in HERTZ's promotional brochure! False advertising!!!! Even worse, when returning the car at the airport, we had already refueled it fully, but the inspector (of Indian descent) claimed the tank was not full and said that refueling only counts if done within 15KM of the return location, allegedly according to their contract. This is pure extortion! We argued with this person, but he was very stubborn and forcefully charged us additional fees (refueling service fee + postage) and was very rude! We ended up speaking multiple times with the HERTZ office manager, who finally waived these charges!!! This fee was outright extortion!!! It wasted our time and energy, making us almost miss our flight!!! We will never use this damn company again!!!

The staff tried to sell us insurance and fuel options when we rented the car. We declined. They also asked if we were going to places off the Great Ocean Road and whether we had prepaid for toll roads. Overall, their attitude was good, but communication wasn't very smooth.

The customer service was very enthusiastic and patient.
