San Francisco - California Highway 1 - Monterey - Airport

The speed of the pickup service was okay.

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.

We picked up the car at the agreed time. We originally booked a Nissan Quest, but Hertz didn't have it, only a DODGE, which is much smaller. Although the Chinese customer service was very responsible, they still couldn't switch back to the Quest. Also, we couldn't add the customer service on WeChat, so there was no way to communicate. Being in a foreign country and renting a car for the first time, we had no choice but to accept it. The user experience was very poor.

Early morning arrival at San Francisco International Airport, the Hertz counter had no staff, and the lot did not have the advertised Toyota 4Runner or Grand Cherokee, only a Santa Fe with weak power and unstable chassis.

Great service, definitely a big company!
