About Hertz: 2.0 /10
Extremely terrible. I had a reservation with Hertz to pick up the car at San Francisco Airport and return it in downtown San Francisco. I was supposed to pick up the car on 3.9 at 10:30 AM at the airport and return it on 3.13 in downtown, costing less than 1100 RMB. I chose the prepaid option via Zuzuche. Upon arrival at San Francisco Airport, I had to take a shuttle train to the car rental point, with no directions available, but fortunately, my colleague had been there before. When I got to the Hertz counter on the third floor of the parking garage, I was told to go to the first floor. On the first floor, they said their computer was broken and directed me back to the parking garage. At the parking garage office, the staff, who was of Chinese descent, was extremely rude and impolite, suggesting that I fill out a handwritten form since their computer was still down. All conversations were in English, and if I misunderstood any word, their attitude got worse. My impression of Hertz was extremely negative. They also took my credit card into a back room to make a copy, which took it out of my sight, and charged a $200 pre-authorization, despite this being a prepaid order! The real trouble started with the return. Given my experience with a domestic car rental company, I knew the return time could be lenient. Still, since this was an international rental, I reminded myself to be extra cautious. Including the grace period, the return time was supposed to be before 11:00 AM on 3.13. Here comes the interesting part: 1. On 3.13, Daylight Saving Time (DST) was in effect, so the clock was turned forward by one hour, meaning 11:00 AM was actually 10:00 AM. 2. My hotel reminded me about DST, so I left an hour early, considering the new time. 3. Despite rushing, I arrived at the downtown parking garage around 10:20 AM. The staff inspected the car for five minutes and confirmed a full tank, which I had filled twice the night before and the day of, just to avoid any issues. 4. At the counter, the receipt showed 10:33 AM, and I was told I’d be charged a $26.25 late fee since I supposedly picked up the car at 10:00 AM on 3.9. My reservation was for a return at 11:00 AM, so why am I being fined for returning at 10:25 AM, especially considering the DST hour loss? Despite my protests, it was useless. They had already copied my credit card, so I had no choice but to accept the loss and leave.

The service provided by Zuzuche is truly frustrating. When encountering issues with car pick-up, it's impossible to effectively negotiate with the local branch and we have to negotiate with the headquarters, which takes 20 working days! It's hard to imagine how helpless a tourist feels in a foreign country unable to pick up a car while Zuzuche does nothing to help. Nearly 10 days have passed, and Zuzuche has not proactively contacted us, provided no solutions, and given no updates. They are constantly evading the problem. When booking a car, make sure to check which locations accept UnionPay cards. However, Zuzuche now marks all locations as not accepting UnionPay cards to avoid taking responsibility for not knowing the service of the branches. Make sure to call the branch in advance to confirm and avoid any losses. Based on my personal experience at the rental hall of San Francisco Airport, Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty accept UnionPay cards and provide excellent service. Be cautious when booking with Sixt, as they do not accept UnionPay cards, and deliberately list many low-priced cars without insurance on the platform to attract customers. In reality, driving without liability insurance is illegal in California, and the branch forces you to purchase it at an additional cost of over 20 dollars per day. Strongly condemn such unethical practices by Sixt. Hertz's service is very professional, but the compact car category is not very reasonable. I initially booked a Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla but ended up with a Honda Brio. I had to pay extra to upgrade to a Camry, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise as it was almost new with less than 3000 miles. It truly felt like a high-end car. In the future, it's safer to rent from the mid to large-size car category.

There weren't many people in line, only two in front of me, but the two staff members at the counter were extremely slow. Each transaction took too much time.

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.
