Service experience

There was no 7-seater Mercedes van at the Hertz location in Frankfurt Airport, they gave me a Ford instead. When I wanted to switch, the staff said it was the only option, and it was diesel. Very frustrating. The staff was enthusiastic, but it felt fake. They pushed for full insurance, about 40 euros per day. When I went to pick up the car, the man there was really irresponsible, just reading an e-book and not helping me find a child seat. When I found out there was no child seat in the car, I went back to him and he finally got one for me. He asked if I wanted a booster seat, and I thought, I paid an extra 55 euros and this is what I get? In the end, I chose a child seat for ages 3-12 (not an ISOFIX one, just secured with a seatbelt).

Not bad

I booked a Volvo S40, but when I arrived, I was informed it wasn't available because I was late. Am I supposed to precisely predict if the flight will be delayed? After some hassle, they gave me a Jeep Wrangler. Its fuel consumption is very inefficient, but at least the staff had a decent attitude.

I booked a BMW 3 Series but got a new Volvo XC60 instead. However, it cost an extra 250 euros. Foreigners are getting smarter too.
